    "Assault" rifle prices since Newtown

    Re: "Assault" rifle prices since Newtown Feinstein wants to grandfather all semi-auto rifles and ban all transfers with current owners having to register their weapons - when the current owner dies, the rifle becomes gov't property and gets crushed or whatever. BUT. Depending on filibuster...

    Geissele SSA-E trigger 179.99 at PSA

    Re: Geissele SSA-E trigger 179.99 at PSA Yeah, me too. I went ahead and bought it at full price, though, since I've been sitting on the fence and just decided to make the jump this morning. Son of a bitch.

    Which Cabala's inexpensive 5.56mm ammo?

    Re: Which Cabala's inexpensive 5.56mm ammo? I've bulk-shot all of the above except the PRVI Partisan, and my favorite is Bitterroot Valley. I've only been shooting it for a couple of years and was talking to a guy on the range the other day who said he'd bought some in .45 ACP that was total...

    Re: My POS cobble-together budget Salvage is complete! Damn. Nobody ever gave me a Savage in spite of propaganda efforts that would have given Joe Stalin a woodie.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Advice buying a German Luger?

    Re: Advice buying a German Luger? I know enough about Lugers to be scared shitless of making a deal for one - they've got so many different parts, and so many different markings and serial numbers on the parts and the frames, I wouldn't even know where to look. And the Luger traders used to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shooting With Both Eyes Open

    Re: Shooting With Both Eyes Open If you're cross-eye dominant (I am) and you're willing to shoot leftie (I'm not), just go ahead and compensate. Collyn Loper is blind in one eye and it doesn't hurt her shooting much. I can't remember the name of the USPSA champion shooter from a couple of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Baer 1911?

    Re: Les Baer 1911? You won't be disappointed with LB. I have a P II with the 1.5 guarantee, and when I take an inexperienced shooter to the range with half a dozen blasters, I let them shoot the P II last, and watch their eyes light up.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol muzzle brakes?

    Re: Pistol muzzle brakes? Muzzle brakes don't come into their own until you're pumping some serious gas through them, say .38 Super or 9mm Major. Maybe with a .40 or .45 shooting +P+, but then again, maybe not. They only work when enough gas is released through the channels to counteract the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 caliber, like or don't like

    Re: 40 caliber, like or don't like I only use my .40 for competition because it's a major power factor with high capacity. Probably 80 percent of my shooting is with .45 or 9mm because it's cheap and easy to reload. In a metal-framed gun the recoil of a .40 doesn't seem to me to be...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Question about Kimber 1911s

    Re: Question about Kimber 1911s I've had two Kimbers for a couple of years and put about 5,000 rounds through each of them. I have had no problems with either. The full-size is the Super Carry Custom because I like the bobtail grip and the carry gun is the Raptor Ultra. Kimbers are attractive...

    Les Baer monolith .308

    Re: Les Baer monolith .308 I've met the smith at Baer who builds all their ARs. Hell of a nice guy. They build all their stuff in-house, and as a product owner their workmanship is over the top. Plus they're at a lower price point than you might expect. They finish all their products by hand...

    Ruger Scout Rifle .308

    Re: Ruger Scout Rifle .308 No, lachoneus was right. One of the first criteria was that the cartridge had to pack enough punch to incapacitate a "200 kg or 440 lb" target as far out as the rifle was capable of hitting. Obviously a good-sized deer or a really fat zombie.

    Trigger weight for target shooting

    Re: Trigger weight for target shooting My two target guns are 3 and 2.5 lbs, both with good triggers, but for me there's a huge difference and I actually shoot better with the 3. I personally wouldn't want to shoot anything lighter unless it was on a rail gun.

    Rifle Scopes SB vs. vortex razor

    Re: SB vs. vortex razor Scope quality is similar to horsepower. There's always more available for money, and the more you add, the more cost per increment of improvement. Difference being that with scopes, since most of us don't make our own, we're limited by what the various manufacturers...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on 12x vs 16x?

    Re: Opinions on 12x vs 16x? I don't hunt anymore, just kill office supplies. And my eyes are old and not nearly as good as they used to be - you see where this is going. I like scope power if it's variable. If I were getting a fixed power scope, I'd probably go 12X, per Hellbender's advice...
