    Is your safe safe?

    Like X-Rap stated a cheap $10 arbor freight angle grinder and 15 mins on the side of most "safes" and they're in. The sides and back are usually just 14 gauge steel and drywall.

    Perhaps it's time for a new forum rule ... or two

    Sometimes having someone offer a product they feel is superior is a good thing. Sometimes we get so much tunnel vision that it obscures alternatives we wouldn't have seen without that person pointing them out. Perfect example of this is about a year or so ago I retired my EDC knife and was...

    If someone took your cellphone and you didn't think you'd ever see it again was/is there a way you could have recovered it in that instance without the use of deadly force? Do you honestly think you could sit in front of a jury of your peers and convince them the only reasonable thing you...

    Ruger SR-762 Trigger

    I bought an SR762 about 3 years ago, the trigger was very much like a milspec trigger. It was gritty and heavy. After switching it out for a Geissele SSA I could easily hit MOA groups with handloads. It's a very accurate piston gun, well worth what I paid for it.

    Christensen carbon rifle thoughts?

    There is a Christensen Arms Ridgeline on Buds I've been eyeing for awhile. It's a 20in .308 that has a carbon wrapped barrel, they are definitely an eye-catcher, and by all accounts I've read online they seem to be good shooters. At around 6.3 pounds I can't help but think what does this rifle...

    New Ruger Hawkeye, chamber scratches brass. What remedy?

    Ruger has probably the best customer service in the business. I've had an issue with two rifles over the years. Both times after a quick call to Ruger they issued me an RMA# and had UPS pick up the rifle from my house and had the rifles back to me in a few weeks time. EDIT: forgot to...

    Most powerful cartridges for ARs?

    The Nemo Omen is a .300 Win Mag AR-10 style Rifle. AR-15 would. Probably be .50 Beowulf.

    Best Caliber? Modest Recoil for Antelope at 300/400 yards

    I like the 25/06 or a 257 WBY. Got a Mark V in 257 WBY that I purchased just for speed goats when I had to make the same decision myself. If you do go with either of the two I mentioned make sure you get atleast a 24in barrel for the 25/06 and a 26in for the 257 WBY. They need the longer barrel...

    Does bolt action make a difference?

    I have a CZ 527 carbine in 7.62x39mm. With good ammo its sub-Moa. With wolf it will hold 1.5 MOA. It's a very accurate little carbine and does the 7.62x39mm round some justice!

    Recommendation for prarie dogs

    Forgot to mention, I also have a Alexander Arms OverWatch 24" in 6.5 Grendel. It's mainly my predator rig, but it will reach out and touch a pdog too.
