    155gr SMK .308...600yd?

    It's always fun trying but you'll be amazed how much better you are next time around when you actually know what your ammo is doing. Any day at the range is better than a day at work! Have fun.

    155gr SMK .308...600yd?

    600 yards will be easy with those projectiles. The real question is do you know how they will behave out of your rifle at that range. You should never start a competition with an unknown rifle/ammo combination because that is a recipe for low scores. I've already tested this concept for you:what:

    what's so great about 308

    I shoot a Savage 10PC in 308. 600 yards is still in the easy zone. It's a good inexpensive caliber to get started with.

    "More people carrying guns will escalate the violence in the streets"

    Violence may indeed increase but I would submit that it would increase against the bad guys. After a period of time the violence would slow considerably when the bad guys realize they may get hurt in their chosen profession.

    No question is Stupid right?

    The DPMS is a fine gun for the average person. Most of us are average. When you do decide to start adding goodies to your AR, I can guarantee a new buffer will not be on your list of upgrades. That's a little like saying you need a better cranckshaft for your car. I'm guessing that guy just...

    Forgot my permit. What could happen?

    I'm a little suprised that more people don't do what travelers do with their passports and NFA owners do with their stamp certificates. Make a few copies of your card/license/permit and keep copies everywhere. One in your wallet, car, backpack/briefcase/shooting box etc. Often a copy will work...

    Gun shop etiquette , rookie question.

    First, a phone call to see if they even have a smith on site, then ask for references just like you would for a good auto mechanic. Most important only let them work on one firearm at a time until you can judge their work yourself. I've heard too many nightmare experiences to ever give out more...
