I got one of the training rifles last year and it is now my favorite rifle. The wood was nicer than most of my more expensive rifles and the way it shoulders and balances taught me how a rifle is supposed to fit. It also is a real laser beam- I'd love to scope it and see just what it will do...

I was looking at the same question a couple weeks ago- I pick up my AR in a week (CA 10 day wait). What decided me was- AR is lighter AR should be more accurate (hearsay based on reviews and LOTS of time online searching) So much more flexibility- don't like the grip? Lots of options-...

I just bought the combo and two days after buying discovered the smaller CT grips were available. I have no experience with the smaller grips, but after shooting the gun, I think I'm happier with the longer grips. At first they did seem a little hard on the web, but half way through the first...

double post- sorry

If money is an issue,doesn't it make more sense to cover practicalities first? Also, dreams are sometimes more enjoyable in their anticipation. With that said, you should know that the SP101 is not a "pleasure" gun. So what is more important to you- your dream gun that you can enjoy at the...

Congratulations on a great choice! I had to order mine and was really impressed with how nice the wood was- especially compared to a more expensive rifle I had bought. This rifle is my favorite shooter so far- shoulders really well for me, great sights, nice balance and incredibly accurate...

Well, if I don't ask I'll never learn- what are CBs?

The smaller Dozier knives come with a cross-draw belt sheath that you will hardly know you're wearing. If you want a very usable small knife, get his "Gentleman's knife"- very sharp D2, good point- looks a lot like a paring knife, so you can imagine how useful it is. Doesn't scare the...

I've been agonizing over the same decision, and actually came down to the same two rifles- the Tikka and the CZ. My take is for your first rifle get it in .30-06 for all the reasons mentioned here- it's a classic, always and everywhere available, most versatile and most capable, and yes, all...

I could absolutely not slip anything between the barrel and the stock. I could also not see how far the contact extended- it looked very tight everywhere I could see. I have looked at several other rifles that were free floated the whole length (passed a dollar bill). rcmodel- good point...

In Ca. you have to list the firearms you want to be licensed to carry- and you're only allowed to carry those. I don't know (yet), but I believe you need to qualify with each weapon as well.

I was looking at an A-bolt the other day and found something that seemed pretty strange to me. Browning lists these as free floated barrels, but after looking at 2 Stainless Stalkers and 1 Medallion all three had heavy stock to barrel contact (couldn't pull the stock away from the barrel)...

+1 on Turner's in Riverside across the freeway from the Tyler mall(there's also one in San Bernardino), and there's a place called Magnum Range in San Berdoo as well. Also, Lock Stock and Barrell has moved to Temple City.

I saw it here http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=80438274 I guess I'll look around some more. Do you think this is a mistake, or do they offer different barrels?

What caliber is the Tikka? Which model Leupold? That looks like it would be my pick based on the research I've been doing- but I'm almost as new as you!

I was looking at a CZ 550 and noticed that it's listed as having a 1:14" twist- isn't 1:10"-1:12" standard for a .30-06? How badly will this limit bullet choice and what's the heaviest you would shoot out of it? Are there any advantages to it? Do any other manufacturers use that slow of a...

Pick the Fenix model that suits your needs and get it with the Cree. At least the last time I researched things, they were by far the best bang for the buck, have lots of useful features like multiple light levels, and great output. I don't think I would go any cheaper for your intended use.

I believe you also get a better barrel and a better trigger on the Loaded. I think it's worth it.

+1 on Fenix lights- well made, and really good "bang for the buck". I have always cheaped out on flashlights, but after doing some reading and seeing some good lights, i decided to go for it. NOT all the way to Surefires, but for under $100 I got the L0P-CE (1 AAA) for my pocket, and I think...

Charles S, where did you find the Tikka LOP? I looked on their site and don't see it listed. I haven't been able to do a side-by-side, but when I do the "stick the butt in your elbow and see where the trigger hits your finger" test, it seemed like the Browning was shorter. I will definitely...
