That scope is for aiming the rifle, not for spotting holes in the target. You PROBABLY will not be able to see individual holes of that diameter beyond 50 yards, if at that distance. Much higher powered spotting scopes will have difficulty with holes of that diameter at 100 yards and beyond. The...

U.S. Army: "Terrorists don't register their weapons...Are you a terrorist?" Free People don't register their weapons...Are you Free People, or slaves? Citizens don't register their weapons...Are you Citizens, or subjects?

You can go to the Burris web site and check the specifications for all of their scopes. They seem to be in the same general range as most other quality scopes. It sounds as if you have a stock fit problem, rather than a scope problem. Maybe you should try a different scope mount that lets you...

The plastic lids from oatmeal boxes and coffee cans. Nice size for handgun targets at twenty five yards and closer, or rifle targets at hunting ranges. If you decide to keep the ones that have good groups for bragging, they don't get torn up like paper targets do.

I have a BURRIS Signature scope in 1.5-6X that has the electro-dot reticle. The intersection of the crosshairs lights up (with variable intensity control for different ambient conditions). This scope at 1.5 power is extremely clear, has good field of view, and with the red dot can get on a...

There may be confusion between a safety catch and a transfer bar safety system, that prevents the hammer impact from reaching the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. The transfer bar system is designed to prevent accidental discharge due to a blow to the hammer (such as dropping a cocked...

If we are asking what the best single firearm for a survival situation is, I would go with a combination rifle/shotgun in a center-fire cartridge and twelve gage version, similar to what Savage Arms used to market. A good aperture sight for the rifle barrel, and a mix of shot and slugs for the...

If I understand the decision of this Judge correctly, it was to deny an injunction against the Airport Authorities arresting people for legal carry of firearms in non-secured areas at the airport. The decision did not uphold the airports ability to illegally arrest gun carriers, and there is a...

Bill Cope has the wrong name. It should be Unable To Cope, or I Can't Cope.

The solution to the whole airport problem is for people to just quit taking airplanes to get from point A to point B. With the improvements in communication technology today, a lot of business that used to require face to face meetings can be handled by video conference, and documents can be...

A drunken driver killed my Grandparents. I do not condone any driving while under the influence, and I do not make light of it. Whether it is driving under the influence of alcohol, or some other mind altering substance (illegal or not - prescribed or not), it still constitutes an endangerment...

Itemize your deductions, and declare them as a casualty or theft loss. You would lose some of the lost value in the initial deduction, and in meeting the threshold level, but the Fair Market Value at the time of the loss (prior to confiscation) should be the value declared on the loss. Real...

In the real world, where the target is a human enemy, or a game animal to be eaten, the size of the target is not known, nor is the exact distance to the target. Trying to estimate range when there is no size reference for the target, by using any reticle based system, is foolish. That is why...

One question that may not have been addressed by the Heller ruling: Is the City required to register MORE than one handgun? Dick Heller is being allowed to register the one handgun that he originally attempted to register, and was refused permission to register; that handgun is THE handgun that...

Is the phrase MAY NOT carry concealed, or is it SHALL NOT carry concealed? Is there a distinction in the law between those two phrases? May Not is possibly not the same as Shall Not. Shall is usually considered to be more forceful in effect than the passive MAY. Shall usually is a...
