Any opinions on the quality and performance of the POF rifle's quality? I'm very interested in the idea of a piston driven SR-25 clone. I know the rifle's aren't on the market yet (anticipated delivery in May). Anyone with feedback on ordering an "unproven" rifle? Does POF stand behind the...

With the Sako 75 consider ring height. If you are using the Optilock bases and rings you will easily clear 44mm optics, even in the lowest variation. I am personally running medium rings and regular bases on my 75 Stainless Synthetic and clear 56mm optics. I find the idea of the VX-L a...

Right... :barf: Educated means you know the marketability of a product. That means understanding it's value beyond a gunshop volunteer wannabe kissass who fantasizes about actually being involved in the business. The realities are that marketability is a global factor versus a localized one...

Yea walk in pay retail.... That's the dumbest s**t I've ever heard. I'll never do that again unless a shop proves some loyalty to me! The realities of the biz is that there are few nice guys out there. Most will try to rake you over the coals and make 100% on any trade-in type transactions. They...

Thanks for the heads-up! Got one on order.

Another thing to note is there is a current ban on target shooting on BLM land due to fire hazard. You will notice signs along the road heading into the hills out of town. With that consideration: BLM is allowed when following other precautions and restrictions. State land trust is a no-no...

1,200 flawless rounds through my RRA Entry Tactical! Almost strictly M855 and Walmart White Box FMJ.

If I had to guess the .270 and .300 WSM's are here to stay. The market reception for 7mm WSM has seemingly been pretty tepid. Going back to the commonality of loadings and availability, I might be a little nervous. All that said, it is a nice round. :) You definitely can find loadings that will...

7mag a step down over .30-06?? Ballistically, no. Especially after 250 yards. Up to 250 they are fairly close I guess. The 7mm mag is far flatter and packs more energy for equal bullet weights. I am curious what the availability would be like in Austria though. I would guess the metric...

For what goes bump in the night: USP Fullsize in .40 with nightsights and a surefire x200 hanging off the rail. I choose this for several reasons. #1 is the .40 package has good power to capacity ratio (13 rounds). I like the safety and decocker setup as well as the ability to keep it in it's...

Good call! You'll definitely be happy with the regular 7mm Rem Mag. The 150gr. loading of Winchester Ballistic Supreme Silvertip has been an absolute knockout on whitetails and muleys. The five deer i've harvested with that loading have all been immediate kills. 3 were no step, as if...

The Sako 75 Stainless Synthetic in 7 RUM is a pretty heavy shoulder hammer. I recently replaced the recoil pad with a limbsaver though and have yet to try it out. I'm hoping for some reduction. Honestly in all hunting scenarios I cannot remember recoil from the shot. Usually with your heart...

:neener: OK as long as were having fun with this... 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum. Of course finding ammo is most definitely going to be an issue! I actually own both a 7mm mag and a 7mm RUM. I can honestly say that I wouldn't have purchased the RUM had it not been a "deal". The 7mm Rem Mag is...

On the subject of ARFcom... I just quit going. I tend to lurk and search for most of my answers. The attitude over there toward legitimate questions was unbelievable. Seems to be a lot of know it alls there. The folks here have been nothing short of helpful and friendly. I've even made a few...

CDNN has a very attractive price in their last catalog....
