    RRA AR-10/LAR-8 Questions

    This rifle is brand new, it comes with a 16" barrel. I have a Nikon tactical M-308 scope on it. What range can i expect to get, accuratly, out of the 16" barrel? If i change it to the 20" barrel what yardage can i expect. I will be using this for deer hunting and i usually harvest deer...

    Binocular Suggestions, Hunting this year was a pain with the one I had

    Nikon 12 x 50 I love them, crisp, clear. They come in handy at dusk and dawn with the 50 mm. Not to expensive, not to big, not to much weight. Just my 2 cents

    Wife wants to learn to shoot.

    Together 40 years and would like to "LEARN" to shoot??? I am thinking she is in her 50's so I would start from the ground up. Figuring that she has never shot. Its crazy but i start women out on BB guns. No recoil, can shoot in most back yards, teach the fundamentals about firearms, stance...

    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    Yeah thats the zoo (bogue Chitto) i was referring to. Its a mad house, no room for parking if you drive in. I usually launch a boat and go up river a bit, but even then its scary crazy.

    I got one for you! I deer hunt with a Rem 270wsm, model 700 composite. I find that my gun has problems only when i am shooting deer. It will not flick out the empty cartridge case, making me take my eye off the game and lower my rifle to use my hands to pick the case out. Now we can go to the...
