If you have not shot an LCP I suggest doing so prior to purchasing one. In my opinion it is one of the harshest shooting guns on the market and lack of usable sights is a major turn off. I have had pimples larger than the front sight. The trigger is downright terrible. If your looking for a 15...

Interesting thread, I was in a similar position and wanted something that would be a good battle rifle and was not too heavy since I am in my 60's.I had AR's and sold them, just not for me even with my military training the nostalgia feeling did not come with the AR. I ended up purchasing a...

I purchased an LCR in 9mm and shot it last night, I put my CT grips on it so the grip sized was diminished. One thing I noticed is that it is a bit more snappy than the 38/357 version shooting 38's although still manageable for quick follow up shots unlike the 357 cartridges. I shot it both...

I second the Tikka T3 Lite, fantastic rifles with great triggers, the factory accuracy is amazing and is second to none. Then I would put the Leopold scope mentioned in the first post. It will take anything in North America and the 30-06 has a wide assortment of hunting ammo readily available to...

The below link I found a few years back and now zero all my rifles this way. The 100 yard shots are typically no problems with my older eyes, the longer distance is where this comes into play for me. Worth a quick read.... http://elkhunter2.tripod.com/sight_in.html

If your interested in a semi then the FNAR should be on the short list, for a bolt action you cannot beat the Tikka. As mentioned Remington's are not as good as they once were but they still sell a lot of rifles and with a trigger job they can be made much more user friendly...

I shoot everythng right handed except for longuns, when in basic training many years ago they tried making me shoot righthanded and I just could not accuratly do it, once they let me do it my way I was able to hit everything I aimed at. Back then the AR's (initial release) did not have the brass...

I just looked through our distributors web sites and none of them any longer list the TA11J-308 any longer with the exception of 1 who never has much in stock, not sure why that is as the TA11J-RMR is listed (for a 223). Last night I put a TA11H-308 on an FNAR for a customer and was very...

Personally I would be happy if all the manufacturers would actually make all the guns they showed from the last 2 Shot Shows. It would be nice to be able to actually find items like the Kimber Solo, Springfield XDs, the Sig 938 etc..... They will have new models that nobody will be able to find...

There is a good crowd on the Texas CHL Forum, might be worth your while to also post this there.... Good Luck!!!

I decided to go with a different type of "AR", wanted a semi that will reach out further and have great accuracy and good capacity. The decision was an FNAR, a few years ago the AR thrill wore off, it has been restored with one heck of a rifle...........

have them on mine and my wifes, did Appleseed shoots over 2 days and they did not lose zero after about 400 rounds through each one. A friend has 2 at his range that are used many times a week for Hunter Education classes and they have been going strong for a few years now, ya cannot beat the...

you will not need to remove the scope and it will still fit into the carry bag that comes with the 10/22 TD. I have put the BSA Sweet 22 on both of mine that were set up for Appleseed and they work great at a low cost. I suggest looking at the extended rail to mount the scope to get the proper...

Just add to the ugly gun list although I bet a bunch of people would buy them. In reality I have seen pic's of peoples AR's that looked much worse with a bunch of unecessary crap attached to them... to each their own I guess.................

I only have one that I would consider old, really enjoy shooting it with the black powder cartridges in 44-40......It is a Winchester Model 1873 which was built in 1882, not bad for a 130 year old rifle, just wish it could talk and tell me about the life it lived...
