    New to the world of AR

    Since I will be getting a decent tax-return check this year, I was thinking of looking into an AR. I would like something based off the AR-15 platform shooting the 308. This will not be used at any ranges past maybe 400 yards. My main question is: Are there any good rifles based off the AR-15...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Just got my new kydex owb holster

    Just picked up my new owb holster from a local guy that custom makes kydex holster. I haven't obviously had a ton of time to familiarize myself with it, but it seems pretty damn nice. There is an audible click when it locks down into position, and an audible release. It seems like a far better...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Just got my Streamlight tlr-1s for my M&P40

    As the title states, I just got my new light today. The instructions for removing the battery compartment were terrible, but the product itself is awesome. This light fits perfectly on the rail and locks down pretty nicely. I was quite surprised at the range it can throw the light as well as the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any good deals on 40S&W ammo?

    I checked around every local place, and online store that I know of. I can get a box of 100 for $33 from the Meijer down the road, and the best deal online I could find was $31 for 100 at cheaperthandirt. Does anyone know of a good website to check for these? Thanks Devin

    Good Handgun mounted laser + flashlight combo?

    I am purchasing a S&W M&P40 in 2 weeks, and seeing as it will be primarily used for the range and home defense, I am looking to get a flashlight/laser combo to mount to the front. I saw a NcSTAR AQPFLS laser/flashlight at the local gun store, and thought that it was a pretty good option. Has...

    Sensitive home-made wind direction (not just NSEW)

    I am trying to make a sensitive home-made wind direction (angle) device to try to take most of the guesswork out of the wind hold value. I drew a semi-circle with 10-degree interval markings, placed a cardboard triangle in a slit in a straw at each end, and fastened the straw with a lubricated...

    M16 to 1k

    So, this guy at my work was in the USMC and said something about them training to hit a silhouette target at 1000 yards using IRON SIGHTS! Anyone that is in or was in the USMC able to verify this? I just can't see how it would be possible to even see the target at that distance, let alone get a...

    Wireless Observation Station

    So, I was thinking of making my own wireless observation system for target shooting (seeing groups and holes at several hundreds of yards) and hunting (checking my dad's extra stand). I know that it is pretty difficult to see the holes at even 500 yards with a good spotting scope, and was...

    My dad is looking into getting a Remington 70 7mm mag for hunting, and wanted to know what people thought about it. Please skip all the "this is tactical, not hunting" garbage.

    So, I went to Gander Mtn today and

    I picked up a savage 11 for the fun of it to feel the action on it, and it was the most amazing thing I have ever felt (with 1 exception of course). Is the action on the Savage 10 as smooth as the 11? If so, that solidifies my thoughts on going with it as my rifle.

    Home-made ranging and hold-over "computer system"

    Today, I took my TI83+ calculator and programmed in the formulas for range estimation as well as hold-over in mils (mil-dot scope obviously). I was initially going to buy the mil-dot master slide-rule thing, but I thought that it would take too much time to slide the thing around and try to get...

    I am looking for a good 20MOA canted base for a Savage 10FCP. Can you even get a canted base in 2-piece, or does it have to be a 1-piece rail? What are some of the top manufacturers for these?
