    SKS or AR?

    You're limited to under 200m with either and more likely 100m with the size of WI deer so neither would be ideal for that purpose (unless you get a 6.5G or 6.8SPC upper). I don't see how you can think the SKS has better ergos than an AR but that's purely subjective and I guess you fall into...

    I'm embarrassed. Negligent Discharge.

    Racked a round in a Makarov and put a hole in my in-laws' living room window 10 years ago. This was before I was married but they just came out and shrugged it off. It was my fil's pistol and I hadn't yet read of the problem with stuck firing pins.

    One do it all rifle caliber? What if TWO?

    6.5 Grendel. Where I live I wouldn't ever really need 30-06 for hunting and if I only get 1, 6.5G is far better for defensive or target shooting. I can shoot it cheap for .23/rd or accurate/game worthy for .85/rd. Recoil is minimal, power is decent for medium game, bc is great for lr target...

    40 short & weak deals

    I never tried an early Glock 22, 23, or 27 so with my limited experience I never really understood when people spoke of a particularly sharp recoil from 40. I don't get a chance to practice/train much so the slightly more controllable 9mm makes me feel a bit more comfortable but I still keep a...

    40 short & weak deals

    Without getting into a caliber war since I am already convinced 9mm is the best mm, I have picked up a couple more 40s to add to my 226. They seem to run a good $50-$100 less than the 9 models these days. Since I am mostly a hobby shooter, I enjoy firing a variety and I started with 40 several...

    CBC INDUSTRIES AR15 UPPER REVIEW SO CHEAP AND SO GOOD

    I have one of their 7.62x39 uppers on a PSA lower for a cheap ranch rifle and it's had 1 light primer strike in over 500 rounds. Even upgraded to STR, EPT, and PA rds finishes it off all for under $700. CPD mags are working as advertised. The other 7.62x39 is a Radical/AIM bcg/Bushmaster lower...

    Chicago, program to deescalate gang violence defunded

    Bottom line is they can't do anything to help themselves without .gov funding according to Autry Phillips. God forbid someone in that community intervenes without $ from the caucasion overlords they despise.

    Bolt action rifle for whitetail for my girlfriend

    I just got a CZ527 7.62x39 and wolf 154sp ammo is cheap. Practice with 123fmj for even less. Very light and handy short action bolt with a nice trigger.

    Worst experience at the range: Equipment version

    Mosin m44 that I tried to fancy up with a scout scope mounted on the rear sight base. Mount stunk and I must have fired 60 rounds chasing zero. It would stay on just long enough to get where I wanted, then 3 shots later I'd be a foot off again. It didn't help that I was trying to use a...

    Street price, Spikes upper?

    Yes it's $520 shipped. Maybe you should forward that to the seller.... guess that wouldn't be taking the high road though.

    Optics value over time.

    I know some swear that their 1990 Leopold has crystal clear glass, excellent light transmission, and perfect tracking but how much better has optics tech/manufacturing gotten over the last 20+ (or 50) years? I think several optics manufacturers/distributors are making scopes in the mid-lower...

    Fastfire or ultradot better on 44 mag revolver for hunting?

    I vote aimpoint r1 as it is perfect on my s&w629pc. Not sure if that is closer to ff2 or ultra but I do like the small size so leaning towards ff2.

    what will be my proper heigth rings?

    I have an EGW 20 moa base on my Savage 10fp and the Burris med rings were too high for my liking (even with my B&C medalist stock). I switched to the low Warne qd rings which are .25" (base to bottom of ring) like the low Burris rings. The scope is a Bushnell Elite Tac 6-24x50 and clears...
