    On Fighting Shotguns....

    Well put Sam1911. I can tell you that if you are involved in a shooting you will be interviewed by the police. No matter how cut and dried justified the shooting was. And if you go in there spouting off lines like "shoot to kill" and "no witnesses" and crap like that you sure won't be helping...

    On Fighting Shotguns....

    I don't care for shotguns for tactical use I think they're over rated. Home defense is another matter. A shotgun is fine for that. It's just my preference. I'm issued a 14.5" modified bore Rem 870 with rifle sights, sling, and Surefire light fore end. I've seen a guy shot broadside with a full...

    Backpacking/trail shotguns

    Interesting. I usually carry a .40 as well, since I have 3. Bears are not much of a concern in my area, though I have run into small black bears in the woods before. What do you think is the best .40 load for bear (penetration)? I'm guessing an FMJ?

    Backpacking/trail shotguns

    I don't understand the concept of asking what other people use, then whining about the answer. But OK, here's MY backpacking shotgun and what I use it for: I don't carry a backpacking shotgun. If I'm hunting I may, depending on what I'm hunting, but if I'm just backpacking there's no reason...

    Suggestions on a rifle

    Well it's not a "similar size round" to a .308, but it is similar performance, at close range anyway. What about a Marlin 1894 lever gun in .44 Mag? It would be great for pretty much anything but grizzly up to 100 yards with the right ammo. And would be a really handy little carbine to use as...

    What guns are you drooling over right now?

    I want a few different uppers for my AR. I want to build an "urban sniper" rifle in either 6.8 SPC or 6.5 Grendel. And I am dying for Rock River to finally start making the .40 AR. I'm going to get one and SBR it when they do. I emailed them a week or so ago and they said they're still trying to...

    RFB

    Has anyone asked Kel Tec about the Target version they were supposed to be making? There's very little info about it on their website other than that it has a 32" barrel. I'm wondering if they're still planning on making it? And if it's going to be an actual match target version, or are they...

    How does a short barrel AR-15 compare to a 16" barrel?

    Has anyone on here actually run any rounds from a 7 or 11 inch .223 through a chrono? I've been looking for a solid answer to this very question for months. I have an Eagle Arms EA-15 I want to register as an SBR and I'm trying to decide on barrel length. I'm kind of leaning towards a...
