    How Heavy is Too Heavy, Rifle Weight

    Speak for yourself, I hate glocks and their clones and wouldn't touch one for carry if you paid me. The article is good, though. Fundamentals are necessary. I learned and still train with either a pellet rifle and tiny targets or .22s and tiny targets because it's cheap and easy, and they're...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-2C Unboxing

    You know, I'd really like to trade my Nightforce for that 6-24 with the EBR2C reticle. I really like that.

    Rifle Scopes Mid-range 1-6x optic for an AR?

    Re: Mid-range 1-6x optic for an AR? I figured out my problem with the accupoint. I was trying to find a happy medium with the rear lens adjustment to try and not have any magnification at 1x for faster acquisition, but what I was looking for and what I got are two different things. I think...

    Rifle Scopes Mid-range 1-6x optic for an AR?

    Re: Mid-range 1-6x optic for an AR? I'm trying to stick to up to $750, no more. I am also curious as to what the difference is between first focal plane, etc. So far, I'm looking at the SWFA 1-4x, the Vortex, and the Firefield 1-6x First Focal Plane.

    Rifle Scopes Mid-range 1-6x optic for an AR?

    i'm looking for advice on good 1-6x optics for an AR-15. I'd LIKE something that works well in 1x as a true 1x for quick acquisition, along with having decent range with the magnification. I currently am running a Trijicon Accupoint, but I find I have trouble with it since it tends to distort...

    Suppressors 1911 what would you do?

    Re: 1911 what would you do? Ed Brown is my favorite. Brown, unlike other manufacturers, only truly builds 2 guns. He builds a 5", and a 4.25". He then finishes them out with whatever cosmetic specs the customer wants. Another point in Brown's favor: He makes all of his own parts, including...

    Suppressors 1911 suggestions

    Re: 1911 suggestions Smith And Wesson makes a great 1911. So does Sig, and Springfield. I would look at the MC Operator from Springfield as it's a great gun, assembled here in the US, with less bells and whistles than the TRP and a lower price. Otherwise, go with Smith, IMHO. I'm not a fan...
