Now THAT'S funny right there. Dun't care who y'ar!!

Looks good to me! I always liked 3 shot groups so that nasty 5th shot wouldn't screw up my 1/2" group and turn my 1/2 moa rifle into a 1 moa rifle:D

Yep the stock's been bubba'd. It has the red laminated stock which puts it in the same year as the receiver manufacture date of 1942. Later in the war, I believe 1944, the Allies bombed the glue factory that supplied them with the red laminate that they used in their stocks. They then used a...

I completely understand the current 'gun grab'. I just posed the question to see if I am getting strung along and if anyone else is having similar experiences with a Colt backorder. I wouldn't be as concerned about it if I didn't have four people that I know order within 2 days of me and they...

Basically any of the common bolt action hunting rounds other than .308 are still on the shelf. And .223 ammo has become Unicorn status. One thing I have noticed is that 22-250 is very hard to come by also. Probably because they share the same bullet size as the .223 and the ammo companies are...

I ordered a Colt 6720 on 12/21/12 from a major distributor here in Texas. I had 4 co-workers also order Colt's but they ordered the 6920 Magpul versions a day or two earlier than I did. Two of them received their 6920's on 1/29 and the other two received their's in mid February. One of the...

30-06 Remington 700 ADL I know, I know, I wouldn't have believed it either, but I picked up a Remington 700 ADL stainless steel in 30-06 to be "another" backup deer rifle. Turns out this thing with that "cheap" synthetic stock will outshoot all my other (and much, much more expensive) rifles...

If you're happy with distortion around the edges, be my guest. It's just not what I am used to or prefer. The combination of critical eye relief and distortion around the edges is just a little disappointing to me, that's all. So what are you looking for in a scope? Most scopes will...

You just need to always beware that you are firing an over 60 year old milsruplus rifle that (most likely) was made in haste because the Germans were coming and have been in storage since WWII. That said I have never had a problem. Although I have traded away all 3 that I had.

Unfortunately I disagree. Especially during rut, that shooter buck will only give you a few seconds of opportunity for a good shot. If you are busy trying to find that sweet spot of view in your scope instead of taking your shot, that buck is long gone. However, you may see differently...

See that's why I'm starting to think that eyes might just see differently through the same scope. I see glare easily on my Zeiss, so much that it's annoying. I actually took the first one back to where I bought it thinking that it was defective. Looked at the new one in the store (actually...

Now THAT'S funny! Don't care who y'ar!

I really did not specify foot lbs, but yes, inch pounds. Corrected reply.

I had 3 and traded them all. Once you get past the "Enemy at the Gates" moment you realize what it is. A very crude, cheap rifle that really isn't good for much. Of course you can hunt with it, but seriously, why??? It's not a bench rest file, again, so why?? It's too long to be a good...

It's just an extremely accurate rifle. With iron sights I don't think anyone could shoot anything any better.
