    My First, Real Precision Rifle: A 20" AR-15. What Next?

    Looks good, I recommend using iron sights for the appleseed shoots. Targets are at 25 yards and proportioned to simulate 500 yards.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a budget scope

    Keep your eyes open for a used Leupold VX III, they are nice glass and people upgrade from older 10x fixed power scopes and put their old one on sale.

    hydro dip

    I just had an idea to be the 1st guy to offer hydro-dipping graphics of huge juggs onto Beta-C mags.... seriously though, I'll try my hand at Krylon to see if I have the patience for it.

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    Holy crap... if there weren't pics I'd have a hard time believing it. I can see myself getting out of the M1A and into a .308 AR when I finally move out of this state.

    Man shot over texting in movie theatre...by a retired cop..WTF

    I basically stopped going to theaters because people behave like animals. If I really want to see a film on the big screen, I try to time it where it's JUUST about to rotate out of the theater (better chance of the showing being deserted)

    Urban Ak Sniper 150-200 yard engagment range

    Romanian 7.62x39 AK rifle + 8" target at 100 yards strapped into a Caldwell lead sled with crappy Wolf ammo, with a 2MOA Burris FFII on top (at this distance, the red dot covers about 60% of the target. I'm sure better ammo would yield better results, as would a clean bore. AK and Sniper do not...

    spotting scope tripod

    THANK YOU! I recently acquired a Konus 100mm (it is awesome) and have been searching for the right tripod solution (a $300 hi-power tripod is not in the cards at the moment).

    Anyone have a Mini 14?

    I'm gonna take pics of my groups next time out and post them here. 580 series Mini-14 with Mo-Reaper brake/front sight blade, Tech Site rear sights (like M1A sights) and Accu-strut barrel stabilizer. Bill Springfield trigger job and recoil buffer as well. Super sweet shooter, now that I have a...

    Rifle Scopes Objective lens near objection port:

    I went with a DSA stripper-clip guide scope mount for my Elcan on my PARA FAL.... Not enough clearance to load with strippers (rifle has fixed 10 round mag). I'm worried that sparks/debris etc from the opening ejection port could scratch/damage my scope lens. Should I go to the full rail mount...

    M1A Problem

    I'm not sure the right way (or really how to) clean the actual gas port at the top of the barrel but that could possibly gummed up). Sounds like not getting enough gas.

    Is it possible to make a Mini 14 accurate?

    Not mine but I have one set up the same way, with a nice trigger job and recoil buffer. Very sweet shooter, never FTF or FTE Groups tighted up around 65% (did all upgrades at once so I can't say what helped the most) I have a spotting scope inbound, hope to get some pics of groups soon.

    Show off your your precision M14/M1A type rifles

    After my 3rd-4th go around with scopes since the late 90's, I'm back to irons on this. I have my first spotting scope on the way to me now and want to get serious about marksmanship. I love that black JAE-100 but I never see them for sale used! M1A National Match SN 68K range I think...

    How cheap can you safely go on spotting scopes?

    I'm researching this right now as well, have my eye on a used Konus 20-60x100mm (yeah 100mm lens!)but I know how great of a reputation Nikon has.... seeing shoot-n-C targets at 300 yards will keep me busy for a LONG time before I worry about past that. The Konus doesn't come with a tripod, is...

    M1A's, M21's, and M25's show em off!

    Just went back to iron sights after my 3rd rodeo with a scope. My 1st rifle M1A NM purchased circa 1998. I liked the ACOG but sold it to fund a mega deal I couldn't pass on. Knocked over a fire extinguisher at 325 yards Friday with irons, 3rd shot with crappy South African milsurp...

    First Spotting Scope Recommendations

    Glad to hear the reviews here on the Konus, I'm really looking hard at that one. I just sold an Aimpoint 2X because after putting the Elcan Spectre 1.5-6x on a rifle, everything else pretty much PALES in comparison. I just want to see .308 hits on paper out to 2-300 on shoot-n-c targets.

    What's the CURRENT 50 state law situation on "armor piercing" ammo?

    I've heard the black tip military "ap" rounds are illegal in Cali while SS109 & variations are not considered true "ap" and are legal. Possession of a "butterfly knife" still a big time felony.
