I have a 700p also, really nice rifle. You have to do something about the scope though. I think the interals on your Centerpoint 4-16 are made of plastic. I bought and returned 3, if you mount it and dial the knobs up and down a few times your usuable elevation drops from ~56moa to ~30moa...

Use the gunbroker list. You didn't post your location and its about a 8hr drive from one end of our state to the next. In eastern NC I used a home based dealer that charges $10. It was free up until a couple years ago, when they had to start making long distance calls on some of the messy...

Not really newsworthy, most walmarts I have been have pretty every caliber now. HPs are a little harder to come by, they may only have in a couple calibers at a time. Unless you need to buy ammo in small quanites its pretty much a waste of time to shop shop at walmart for ammo now, as pretty...

PA red dots are pretty good. If they do fail it only has a 1yr waranty though. The Vortex Strikefire is lifetime. They are both pretty good.

You don't want to use the 9mm hammer. You want to buy a ramped bcg (several vendors sell them) or send your BCG to ADCO to be ramped. Then you use standard hammer with both uppers. This is what most people do now, even if you have no need for anything other than a 9mm AR.

DPMS LR308 is a pretty reliable platform. The trouble spots with it are more user problems. Will not feed soft point ammo, a lot of people buy hunting ammo locally to shoot which will not work. FMJ is fine, so that includes the cheap mil type 147 you see for plinking, match ammo is fine. For...

Most people take their SBRs to local jewelry stores and pay them $10-20 to engrave. In addition to the link above (they had a good rep), there is also Quentin Defense for a firearms specific engraving service. You are right, you want to have it engraved before paperwork comes back. Most...

Rocky Point is a local dealer and one of the bigger customers of Classic Arms. They basically buy the mil surplus and ak stuff from Classic and do the NC Gun shows when Classic got out of that. I've bought a few guns from them, they are usually classic prices or $10-20 higher. Shop is a whole...

I think OP missed the point of a 1x, which is target acquisition speed. Two equal shooters engage each other at same time, even at 100yds. The person with the ACOG has a bullet hole in their chest before they have time to center on target at 4x and fire. Yes, so its not as accurate it may be...

More likely legal in most states, no restrictions here. I know some states have 30cal an up restrictions, but many are do not have any, or are 22 and up.

7.62x25 is a pretty awesome round with very hot ammo. The tokerev is pretty nice also. You can't really find the good 5.7 rounds anymore. You can buy 7.62x25 in 1260rd cans for $86 that will defeat soft body armor, the same amount of lame 5.7 that will not would cost you $500. Not sure what...

My guess is the same insurance carrier that does not restrict, say a Home Depot, but does a Gun Shop does so b/c the gun shop is in the business of selling of guns, customers are more likely to be carrying, more likely to handle their gun while inside the store..... the accidental discharge...

Local PD here uses the FD-258 forms, most do. They are taking fingerprints to scan into federal databases.

.223 steel case should be cheaper but it is not. Steel ammo price is pretty much equal. Reloadable brass 223/5.56 ammo is actually cheaper than 7.62x39. But as already brought up, I like most people typically shoot the $200-225 per case Steel in AK, and Shoot $300-325 Brass ammo in my AR. I...

I put the Bushnell 3200 10x Tactical on mine also, I think it was $168 shipped. Glass is Japanese and actually pretty good. Most 50 BMGs do not get shot a lot, its not something you take out plinking all the time, to every range trip, send 200rds downrange each time its out, etc.... so I did...
