    Big-bore AR's and States with magazine restrictions

    I've been curious and haven't heard/read any discussion on the issue but how are magazines for the AR "thumpers" regulated in States with magazine capacity restrictions? A standard 30rd USGI mag will only hold 10 rounds of .50 Beowulf. Would that magazine still be illegal if its intended use was...

    Ive been doing quite a bit of research about AR thumpers and have narrowed it down to these 2. The upper will be used for medium/large game hunting in Idaho(Mule deer, Elk and maybe black bear) and was curious about your guys' opinion. Also, I dont need to stop any vehicles by shooting into the...

    Cabelas bargain cave

    I've looked at the magazines for years and never found anything in there "bargain" worthy. Sure there were cool things but nothing I "needed". That changed yesterday. Bushmaster factory 30rd AR15 mags 50% off. $14.99 for high quality magazine is a steal! Unfortunately, I only bought 2 since I...

    Nosler 60gr. Ballistic Tip not for .223?

    I started to reload .223 for my AR and bought 200ct of Hornady 55gr. Vmax and 100ct of Nosler 60gr. ballistic tips. I reloaded the Vmax's and they are all fine but ran into problems with the Nosler. They have a cannelure on them and every factory cartridge ive seen with a cannelure had the top...

    Animal hunting difficulty

    I was curious as to everyones opinion on what animals are more difficult/expensive to hunt or trap in your respective area. General rating criteria for example would be questions like: How much does it cost for gear? How long do you spend walking/tracking animals? How long do you wait in...

    Need help choosing between 2 Sako rifles(M85 Vs. A7)

    First off, IMO, my .308 would be decent on idaho elk to about 200yds. I want something that will put one down further away, if need be. So i was looking at a Sako A7 in 7mm Mag. My buddy has a reloader for his 7mm, so i will be reloading for this gun. The gun runs ~$850. My main goal is to keep...

    The .223 is a nasty caliber...

    with the right bullet. Granted they can only use FMJ in the military so theres alot of nay sayers but this is 3 shots using HSM's 55gr Vmax into a pumpkin.

    SAO .45. What are my options?

    As much as i like the 1911's, im not a big fan of their capacity. So what are my options for a SAO .45ACP or a DA/SA .45ACP that can be "locked and cocked" in SA mode? This will be used primarily for a home defense firearm, so a picatinny rail is a big plus. Unless theres a light that...

    With the re-surging popularity of the 10mm...

    and the news of Colt re-introducing the Delta Elite, will Smith and Wesson bring back the 1000 series pistols? I heard/read that they are THE gold standard of a 10mm pistol. They have the highest reputation of reliability and functioning. I have wanted one bad and the prices arent unreasonable...
