    Why Isn't the 7mm more popular? 7mm Rem Mag vs .300 Win mag

    Why isn't the 7mm mag more popular? At my local stores it's the same price or cheaper than .300 ammunition, it goes subsonic at greater distant, match bullets have a greater ballistic coefficient, and they retain more energy past 1000 yards. I hear they don't kick as much as well. Should I get...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dirty 1911 Pictures

    Took this puppy out shooting today, It started life out as a $400 stainless springfield mil spec I bought a 6 months ago, someone's "gunsmith" friend dropped in a wilson combat trigger and lost springs and pins (even though it still functioned). So I took the liberty of finding replacement...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-15 or 5-20?

    I'm getting into police style marksmanship competition (tactical shooting usually within 300 yards, moving targets, partially concealed, a little faster paced) and I'm trying to decide which scope I should get. I will use the rifle for hunting and long range targets as well so I want the scope...

    Rifle Scopes What Scope?

    What scope is most durable, and best for me? Rifle is a .308 20" barrel, used for long range targets, police style sniper tournaments, and mountain hunting up to about 300 yards. I want something that is Durable (*reliability is most important to me), with FFP reticle, and preferably with...

    Rifle Scopes What scope for Recce?

    If price is the same which is the more durable, most clear optic? The SWFA SS HD 1-4x24 Tactical 30mm Riflescope, or the Leupold 1.5-5x20 Mark 4 MR/T 30mm Riflescope? I can get them new for about the same price (leupold a little cheaper)...

    Rifle Scopes Most Durable Optics.

    What's the most durable low power scope (fixed 3x/4x, or a variable 1,2, or 3, to 7,8,9, or even 10) for under $1000? What I like so far is the Ta11 acog, and various 1-4's. But which make and model do you think is the most robust and durable scope? Also, keeping it around 16 oz if not lighter...

    Rifle Scopes What's the better scope?

    Better as in durability, clear glass, etc. I'm mostly worried about durability because I only want to make this purchase once. Leupold mr/t 2.5-8 or Vortex 2.5-10x44 viper pst? If it makes a difference Leuppy is gonna be around $900 new. Vortex would be around $600, and I could always save...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Let's Have A Caliber War!

    I've been through a lot of semi-auto handguns, just trying to figure out what I like. I started out with 1911's, tried a DE Jericho/941 in .40, an XD, Another 1911, a few random 9's, a glock .40. And now I only have Glock 9mm's (I especially like the 19). I've taken most of these to classes and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P226 vs Beretta 92a1 for Accuracy

    Which do you think is the more accurate handgun out of a Beretta 92a1/m9a1 and a Sig p226 of some sort? Also, I want to buy a new threaded barrel (use with suppressor)for whichever one I end up buying and the Beretta get's a big +1 because we use that for the marksmanship team.

    Suppressors Help Finding Suppressors?

    I'm looking for a QD suppressor (I like the kind that are attached on over a flash hider/muzzle brake, like the thunderbeast BA's) that is durable, light & compact, and will reduce sound well. I'm putting it on an Ar (5.56) and wanna keep it fairly balanced but I still want great performance...

    Ak-47 vs. Ar-15 For Only Rifle?

    I've been trying to decide on whether I should buy an ak or an ar recently. This will be my only rifle for about 5 years. I was leaning towards an ak but I can have an ar for the same price. It's between the Smith and Wesson mp15-t and the arsenal sgl-21. I can have them and everything I would...

    Texas Weapon Systems Dog Leg Scope Rail (gen 2)

    Would it be worth getting one of these for my AK? I want to attach a low power acog and I think this would be perfect! But will it hold zero is my question? Have any of you ever used it?

    Rifle Scopes Long Range Glass

    What are some good optics that can get me out to 1500-2000 yards for under or around 2 grand? I'm thinking something in the 5-20/25x range. So far I've found the swfa super sniper 5-20x for $1,500 and I'm thinking that's as good as it gets... Edit: I'm shooting a .338 or a .300, I didn't want...

    What companies offer factory BDC dials on their scopes? Are there any good aftermarket BDC dials? What are your general thoughts/feelings on BDC?

    .338 Lapua Rifles

    What do you think would be the best .338 Lapua for me? The best optic I want to afford is the SWFA SS 5-20x with quality mounts. I suppose my question can be narrowed down to is the Sako really worth the extra cash for my needs, and what do you think I'll like more out of the 700 and AR-30 if it...

    Respectable Accuracy

    What do you think is decent accuracy from a stock ruger 10/22 with iron sights at 25 yards/meters/paces? I've been really working on my accuracy lately and I was getting some pretty consistent groups with the ruger outfitted with tech sights while shooting at game cards. A "no-BS" assessment of...

    Rifle Scopes What's better? More DMR Scopes...

    What do you think is the better scope between the IOR Valdada 2-12 spartan and the Norden/GRSC 1-6? Why? Speedy ranging on silhouette targets is a must, I like the higher magnification of the spartan, but is it FFP? What one should I buy? Is there anything like the spartan but FFP? Cause...

    Rifle Scopes DMR type Scope

    You might have seen my new thread about DMR type rifles. I'm working on getting one and I know how I want to set up the rifle; but I'm completely confused on the glass I should invest in. So what would you recommend? The rifle itself will be .223/5.56. I want to keep it $1500 or below. My...
