    AR-15 Questions

    Re: AR-15 Questions You have gotten good advice. I want to suggest that if you decide to get an AR, you not buy any optics and instead learn how to use the iron sights. You will be taught sight alignment, sight picture and everything else using iron sights. The flattop rifle is fine, but...

    S&W M&P 15-.22LR

    Re: S&W M&P 15-.22LR I almost hate to relate this, but I was in the gun shop today and they were logging their first return of one of the S&W 22LR's to be sent back to the factory. Owner stated he had an OOB event. He was not injured, but some pieces hit the guy next to him - no injuries...

    REM. 597 VTR VS. 10/22 QUESTION

    Re: REM. 597 VTR VS. 10/22 QUESTION I too, had a horrible experience with a 597 in 22LR. There is a pretty large following for them on Rimfire Central so maybe Rem fixed some of the problems. I don't know. One thing I do know. If you have a 10/22 get a <span style="font-weight: bold">firm...

    Rifle Scopes Guns and Ammo: RIP

    Re: Guns and Ammo: RIP In a sudden fit of lunacy I bought a copy of Special Weapons. Absolute gargage. From the legendary performance of 9mm FMJ to the little hole in the nose of MK262 77gr .223 being the key to its enhanced ballistics - absolute trash. Wish we could bill these magazine...

    Recommend a good trigger for a Rem 700

    Re: Recommend a good trigger for a Rem 700 Jewell for me. It really isn't that much more than the others. I also run an old Rem factory trigger that I tuned myself - great trigger, but not in the same class as the Jewell. I have also tried to make an X-Mark run and finally gave up and tossed...

    Options - .17 .22 in a reasonable price range.

    Re: Options - .17 .22 in a reasonable price range. mtgoat....You're right, I forgot one of the more popular choices - the Sako. I don't have one but the guys who do rave about them. Should have been on my list. I'm not finding any at the $450 price point though. More like $700 for one caliber...

    Options - .17 .22 in a reasonable price range.

    Re: Options - .17 .22 in a reasonable price range. It is difficult to put all my thoughts down on rimfires (22LR variety), so I'll just list a few - from least expensive to more: 1) <span style="text-decoration: underline">Ruger 10/22 </span>- cheap ($180) initially but way too easy to drop...

    newbie questions about my 45 70

    Re: newbie questions about my 45 70 Absolutely...I think all factory ammo is labeled as to what rifle it is safe in but I would still only shoot factory stuff that was made for the Springfield Trapdoor in your H&R. There are three classes of actions for the 45-70. You might get a Sierra...

    newbie questions about my 45 70

    Re: newbie questions about my 45 70 You didn't say what rifle you have, but there are some hot loads for the modern stronger action 45-70's that are just a whisker under the .458 Win Mag energy wise. And don't forget that many a buffalo was taken with the 45-70. However as stated above...

    New to the forum & have a couple Q's.

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. Well, the suggestions made here would be the basic next step up: .308 would be my suggestion. I have never really "stepped up" from the 22LR trainer - more like "stepped down". Ammo prices being what they are - and reloading is not exactly cheap...

    Rifle Scopes Cheap Optics

    Re: Cheap Optics LoneWolf...Granted the question was about weapons. The question here is about scopes. Isn't a sniper issued a weapon as well? Do snipers pull issued scopes off their weapons and replace them with the optic of their choice? What if the personal optic fails and Marines are...
