    Rifle Scopes Condition of "Demo Units" From Cameraland

    This is my experience. I couldn't find any indication that what I bought was used and everything was even packed in the boxes in such a way that it didn't look like it had ever been taken out.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Preferred Pistol Sight Picture

    #2 if I have a pistol with plain black sights. None of the above if I have anything in the front sight. If I have a dot of any sort, then the dot covers the target and the dot is bisected by the plain of the top of the other two sights.

    Rifle Scopes Liberty Optics

    If Liberty Optics has what I want in stock, I will normally get it from there. I can't say that I've sent a huge amount of money his way (probably $4-5K over the last 9 years) but he remembers me, always gives a good price, and seems to genuinely appreciate my business. That means something to...

    tomahawk talk to me.

    I bought both of these through Amazon because I couldn't figure out which one I wanted. The Kangee is neat but I think the Chogan is more practical. These are nicely built and feel like a quality product. Haven't abused them much but will be using them this spring and summer quite a bit.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    I would not buy a Kimber produced in the last 10-12 years or so though I'm sure plenty are fine. Kimber made their initial good reputation with their earlier guns and the good reputation was VERY justified. Series I Kimbers are great guns and worth picking up. Springfield has had highs and...

    Accuracy international thread from the UK

    Interesting. My AX is so close to the serial number of the action shown that it had to be one of those in the cart.

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    My shooting most certainly seems to be, at least initially. If I have not shot for a while, I have more of a flinch reflex (as well as anticipating recoil more) and don't shoot as well. After just a few rounds I settle in and shoot markedly better. From the first shot with the AX, I...

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    I have tried in the past to compromise and have a rifle that isn't TOO heavy so that I can use it in situations other than on the range and haven't experienced shooting with something this heavy before. That's probably part of the equation. Did not realize that accuracy THAT good would be THIS...

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    Paragraphs? Yes, and the use of "your" and "you're" is probably available by Google, as well. I forgive you. Love the Tuscaloosa area. Stayed there some when I traveled to Demopolis for work. Not sure where my punctuation is off, though if I did it wouldn't be off, would it? Still...

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    After messing around for years with .308, I went to 6.5 Creedmoor in a couple of Remington actions with Bartlein barrels. I put these in Manners stocks and shot ok with them but it was nothing that I considered outstanding. Between me and the rifle and the factory ammo, I figured there was...

    Houston, TX

    Houston from Kentucky? I wouldn't do it unless the job made you rich! I've lived in Houston as well as Bowling Green and Alexandria and I would move back to Kentucky a lot sooner than I would hot, humid, crowded Houston. YMMV, though. Houston has a lot of good points but, for me, they didn't...

    Barrel contours on Eurooptic and Mile High Shooting AI rifles in the 6.5/.260?

    Does anyone know what barrel contours are of the AIAX rifles from Mile High and from Eurooptic? The latter advertises a 24" barrel while the former has a 26" but I can't find any information beyond that. Does anyone know who does the re-barrels on them (they don't come in those calibers...

    Ring height to mount S&B scope on AIAX?

    I have (will have) full top rail. I went ahead with a Spuhr mount from Brownells. If I made the wrong choice, it's easy to send back. I just don't want it too high.

    Ring height to mount S&B scope on AIAX?

    I will be mounting a 4-16x42 PM II on a AIAX. What is the lowest ring height that will work for me? What about a one-piece mount?

    300 blk subsonic supressed build.

    I just went with total AAC. 9" AAC SBR and AAC suppressor. I figure they're going to have everything set up to run. Even using the Remington ammo. It's all supposedly designed to go hand in hand so Freedom Group supplied everything on my Blackout.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns question for owners of springfield custom shop 1911's

    AGAINST Springfield Custom? I've seen VERY few detractors. Have you checked over at 1911forum.com under the Springfield Armory forum?

    .260

    Sounds like a hunting rifle. What would be nice is .260 in the SPS Varmint or a Tactical version. At least they are making them in a 1:8 rather than something less optimal.

    Rifle Scopes QD mount with optic sitting lowest?

    Looking at using an AR for a dedicated "long range" platform and have only done so using risers and normal rings in the past. I'd like to put the optic in a QD mount but most of the mounts that I've seen and used are higher off the rail than I want for a more dedicated "long distance" optic and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Conceal carry 1911

    A good holster (for me, this generally means a Milt Sparks VM2 or clone) worn IWB and a purpose-made gun belt (or something equally stiff and solid) will negate the weight of even an all-steel 1911. When the gun is tight to your body, you don't have any real issues. It's a loose gun that...
