    Anderson/Clemson/Greenville shooting club?

    Relocating to Anderson/Greenville area of SC. My current gun club has decent 100/200/300 yard rifle ranges (as well as shotgun/pistol ranges and IDPA style matches). Know of any full featured gun clubs in the Anderson/Greenville area? Thanks!

    Which needle oiler do you like?

    Bought my first needle oiler, thought it would help lube a bolt or rails when I get to the range and realize I forget to lube up at home. Small in my range bag. I got this little bottle of CLP but the don't like it because you can't squeeze it for more or less oil. Instead you have to wait for...

    Recs for a budget spotting scope out to 300 yards

    I need a spotting scope to check target hits on 100 and 300 yard ranges. Any recommendations? I'm pretty cheap - is there any kind of stand that I can attach an unused scope to? I have a Vortex Viper 4-20x sitting around. Would that suffice or is more power recommended? TBH I've never looked...

    Hanging AR500 gongs from my target holder

    I have a rebar-based target holder I use at my gun club's rifle range. It's maybe 4' wide. Most of my AR500 targets are hung by chains and S-hooks but they usually start walking down the crossbar one way or the other and eventually slide into other hanging gongs. It happens more with my smaller...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol carry in my 5.11 Rush Messenger bag?

    I admit it, I use my 5.11 Rush messenger bag as a man purse whenever we go on a trip somewhere. I keep whatever chargers, cables, iPad/devices, flashlights, prescriptions, Leatherman, etc. and other little personal shit that seems to accumulate in it. And of course I usually pack a pistol in -...

    Scope adjustment strategy when switching loads

    I have a bolt gun and an AR I use for shooting steel on a 300 yard range. My ammo stockpiles consists of various manufacturers and loads of 5.56/223 and I can run out of load X in the middle of a session and need to switch to a different manufacturer. Packing all my gear up and moving from the...

    What happened to Hornady Steel Match ammo?

    I fed my 223 rifles a steady diet of that stuff, even fed it to more than a few groundhogs. I still have a couple boxes left but learning it's been discontinued?

    Which auction site(s) are the best?

    Want to put a rifle up for action - years ago Gunbroker was the top of the game but not sure any more. Any suggestions appreciated. Gun is a secret so I don't look like an scumbag trying to circumvent this site's rules.

    Anybody familiar with Hornady production cycle? Steel Match 223 unavailable for 12+ months

    I thought I was lucky when I learned my bolt gun shot tiny little groups using Hornady's cheap Steel Match 223. Yet I have not seen any more for sale in over 6 months and MidwayUSA has revised their 'expected date' to January 2014. Hornady website FAQ suggests they are constantly producing and...

    How to test my stash of well used 30 round magazines?

    I have a 'few' 30 round M16 magazines - they would always spill out of my gear at home and sometimes not make it back to post. They worked fine 15 and 20 yeas ago but have since sat quietly in a box, empty, thoughts of them coming in handy one day in the back of my mind. I've always used my 5...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Value revolver similar to Ruger SP101?

    Hey guys, I don't keep up on the latest handguns but shopping for another one . I like the Ruger SP101 in .357 and just curious if there are any comparable/similar models I should consider to save money. Things I want which currently make the SP101 a leading candidate: - smaller/mid-size...

    Where to buy 2" and 3" AR500 circles?

    I want to weld up my own AR500 spinners but can't find anybody who sells small circles. I prefer circles with no hole or ears as I intend to weld them onto an arm from the back. I also could use a source for some round or square AR500 rod for the arm. Anybody know who can provide this?

    7.62x39 bolt guns - whatch'ya got?

    I'm thinking about getting a 7.62x39 bolt action rifle, primarily to be used for plinking steel zombies. Ammo is cheap, it hits hard, the steel cries with every hit. I've heard about: CZ 527 Savage 10 FCM Scout Ruger Hawkeye Most seem to be 'scout' size rifles, and many seem to have rather...

    Low cost 308 semi to hammer short range steel?

    I'm interested in a sub-$1000 rifle in .308 used primarily for short range (100 - 300 yards) plinking of AR500 targets. Preferably something that is a decent shooter out of the box. I'm dissatisfied with the accuracy of my 7.62x39 Mini-30 which produces an inconsistent 2 to 4 MOA. Doesn't...

    Rifle Scopes 3-9x or fixed 10x scope with target dot?

    I'm looking for a 3-9x or 10x scope that will see duty on a semi-auto 7.62x39 as well as a bolt 223 gun. Desired features include: <ul style="list-style-type: disc">a small target dot, (preferably non-illuminated to avoid a battery compartment)covered target turrets no larger than 42mm...

    Savage Precision Carbine shoot M193 worth a crap?

    I'm thinking of getting a Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine in 5.56, mostly for shooting steel at the range or busting a groundhog out to 300 yards. If I do this I will want to shoot cheap M193 and already have a cache of recent Federal Lake City. How well will a Model 10 PC shoot Fed M193? Is...
