Thanks for the input guys. I am trying to make sure both of the RSCs I am looking at have UL certified electronic locks. I haven't seen an RSC in person that had a dial, all seem to be elocks.

Thanks for the replies guys. A1, I wish I lived closer so I could stop in and see what you had. Last question, for tonight anyway... E-locks...I don't like the idea of them, because for me, most electronics fail at some point. Are they that bad? Is a dial better? Or just go with UL...

Well, for the past year I have been reading forums and talking to salesmen in hopes of finding a gun safe, or more properly a RSC. It seems that there are lots of opinions on the subject. I realize that the best thing would essentially be a bank vault in a hidden room in the house. However...

Anybody Got a size comparison of the Burris Fast fire III vs an eotech 512?

How big is the Burris? Compared to an eotech?

Is there a mid range out there in these things? Really like the reflex type sight, no real experience with red dots. Looking for one for a do everything AR. Hunting, plinking, etc...I see inexpensive ones and $500+ ones. Is there a middle ground?

That's the one I am looking for...I didn't know it was an International . The one I have shot and the other I am looking at are blued barrels, not stainless and they have a thumb tang safety. Are these internationals as well? Now if I just just find an Ackley Improved one.

Do they still make these? Any ideas/thought on value on one in good shape? I have fallen in love with one a friend has, and he's not willing to part with it. Have a line on another one, but not sure what a fair price is? Thanks.

Buy my daughter a CZ 550 FS .308 and want to put a 3-9X40 Zeiss conquest on it. What height rings will I need? I am leaning toward the Warne rings. Anybody have any experience with this rifle/scope combo?

Can any of you post some photos of holsters "in use"? Just want an idea of how they sit/ride/attach etc. Went to my local shop today but they didn't have anything. They did have a Colt Defender that I fell in love with...Didn't bring it home, but a guy can't have too many 1911s.

Been carrying a pocket 9 for about a year, but would rather carry my 1911. Looking for opinions on the best IWB to do this. Have looked at the King Tuk in person, and pictures of the Crossbreed and Minotaur online. Would like to hear thoughts and opinions on any and all 1911 Commander IWB...

Would it work as a gun safe if it was large enough?

Have done a ton of reading on here and other places about safes and RSC's. Have any of you locksmiths/safe dealers heard of a Hadak data safe? Thoughts on them? Can't seem to find any info on them as a gun safe. Seems to be more fire protection for files and data.

I just heard that Colt is coming out with a new Mustnag, and while I am exicted about that, I found an old Mustang in my local pawn shop. It's in pretty good shape, got some wear marks, but overall seems pretty clean. Cycles smooth and the trigger feels decent. What you reckon one of...

On the way to pick up me 1895 from the gun store shortly. I'm having trouble deciding what kind of sights I want. I bowhunt 99.9% of the time, but I just had to have this rifle. I will be using it mostly for plinking, if plinking is the correct term with a .45-70, and maybe hunt WT deer a...
