To all who don't believe birdshot won't get it done. Check this video out.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq3RVvL9ZjU

Wow, thank you everyone for your quick response. I had my eyes on either a Marlin or Mossberg but, I saw a lot of good reviews for the Marlin. I saw the Marlins and Mossberg for roughly the same prices at Academy and leaning towards the Marlin. Should I wait and try to find an older model on...

I would like to hear some recommendations on lever action rifles in 30/30. I have always loved lever action rifles but I do not know very much about them. So what is good rifle that will get me started but won't break the bank lol.

To any fellow Shield owners, I recently sent my Shield to Smith and Wesson for repairs on my mag release. For, some reason my 8 rd mag was not ejecting properly from the pistol. Well, I got it back yesterday and the pistol does eject both magazines now. However, my buddy has a Shield as...

A 18.5" barrel shotgun with birdshot never hurts either. I have a mossberg maverick 88 shotgun with a collapsible M4 stock on it and its perfect for my girlfriend and I to use. Plus, I have 2 rescued dogs that will notify me of anybody walking past our door much less anyone just walking up the...

Hi Everyone, I am a new member as of today and I am pleased with the responses from this community. I am a combat infantry veteran of OIF/OEF with the 82nd ABN and I just now have recently started to get into shooting in the civilian world. I have purchased a S&W Shield so that I can get my...

I couldn't have agreed with you more on that Sam. I think if you want that type of accuracy then go with a Squad Scout or Match rifle but, if you want a more compact easy to bring on target rifle then I think SOCOM 16 would fit the bill.

Cool.. I figured the EoTech were built more for the AR platforms but, I didn't know if it would work well with the Socom as I have seen pics with them mounted. Thanks for clearing that up since, I am trying to get my research done and wish list put together lol.

Will putting a Ultimak M8 rail work with a Eotech? I saw a YouTube video of a guy who put that rail on his socom 16 with a micro Aimpoint red dot. He said with that setup he could still co-witness through the Aimpoint without putting a check rest on the stock.

boricua9mm, Do you think switching out the thick front sight post affect the speed of acquiring your targets at closer ranges being that this weapon is more of a "CQB" system. I agree that switching to a thinner blade would help with running irons but do you think running a eotech sight still...

checkmyswag, I have heard a lot of people talk a lot trash about the so called accuracy of the SOCOM 16. You posted my exact questions about accuracy vs distance of this rifle but, I agree with what sam1911 posted. Personally, I think people are trying to compare a SOCOM 16 to a M1A Super...
