Well I decided to keep the DPMS on order and not opt for the Remington. Same price and the remington is heavier. Anyone here hunt with an LR308? Did you test different factory ammo? If so what did you find to have the best groups? Since Remington doesn't seem to list ballistic info at...

In the terrain I hunt deer about the closest shot will be 75ish yards and out to... Well beyond my comfort zone. So the 3-9 really works well. I do like those open bases. Could always get a low profile set of open sights for close in back up. I was also thinking about a tip off scope mount...

I've got the above rifle on order and am getting my gear ready for when it arrives. Primary use will be split between hunting mule deer and range fun. The barrel break in procedure is fairly substantial according to the DPMS website so was planning on using some bulk 150grn American eagle or...

WOW, looks like I stirred up a hornets nest, sorry about that. I have done a bunch of research and always end up with conflicting answers. Having some feedback from someone who has actually done it, (thanks MTMilitiaman), makes me feel better. I was looking at some of the DPMS AR10's and...

Hey folks, I've read various articles stating NOT to fire 7.62 Nato in a .308 chamber due to case pressure. How about firing .308 in the Nato chamber? P.S. I may have it backwards but you get the idea of my question. Thank you.

Yeah the hole moved to my left eye. I've been shooting shotguns, handguns, and scoped/open-sight rifles since I was about 7 years old, including military service. Always with both eyes open no matter the weapon. It's just really weird. For gits and shiggles I got out my old pellet gun...

1) What do you own: KGP141 2) What grips do you use? Factory hogue's 3) What loads do you use? .38fmj for plinking and small game. 200grn CORBON HC for critter protection in the woods 4) Any modifications? Nope, I'm pretty happy with Ruger's design 5) What would you like Ruger to...

This sucks! I took my .357 4" GP-100 to the range today and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. My BEST group at 15 yards was 6inches, when in the past I'm in the 2" range (50 rounds fired). On my last cylinder I realized I was using my left eye to aim, well I've never done that before. I...

Thanks for all the tips. What do I look for to ensure it's the newest version, is there a serial# cutoff? Long and heavy... Thats what she said (couldn't resist). My only other handgun is a GP100, everyone comlains about those triggers, I personally like it.

I'm going to LOOK at a used one. For $250, 4 mags, 150 roundds of ammo. I would like to know what sort of wear/damage I should look out for. If any. *edit* original owner has put about 5000 rounds through it.

Hey there, I have the opprotunity to get a used (5000 rounds) SW9VE for $250-$300. New they're going for $400-$450 around here. I have not had the chance to take a look at this particular weapon yet, and won't buy until I can fire it. But I was just curious what you all think of them(other...

Essayons, where you in the Army Corp of engineers? I was a sapper from 200-2004.

Good call on the 1-5x. I'll definitely check it out. And yeah I'm in the Nikon budget range. Honestly I LOVE my other Nikon. My 3-9x40 Buckmaster has never failed me. Even when I lost my scope covers in the rain and snow at elk camp this year. We had a foot or so of snow. Well I was...

I was considering a fixed 3 or 4 power but if I end up needing it for deer shots out to 300+ aren't uncommon. Where we go for Elk and bear it's in the central cascades, so mostly forrest with a few clearcuts. But deer are up in the Omak/Tonasket area where it really opens up. I've never...

Hey thanks for the replies. I'll be taking shots no longer than 300yds. Mostly around 50-150yds. I have a 3-9x40 Buckmaster on my .30-06 Model 700 but want something with quicker follow up if needed for bear or cats. Plus you can never have too many rifles right? I wasn't sure about...
