SOCOM a .308 150 grain bullet out of a 16 inch barrel is probably traveling at only 2200 FPS, about as fast as a 30-30.

I have killed a number of deer with Remington 150 grain PSP, 180 grain soft points in a Remington Mdl 7 .308 when younger. I never had a problem with them going off. I did shoot a small doe at 140 yds if I remember correctly, the 180 round softpoint did not work well on the small doe. Now...

Most of the cops in Atlanta seem to favor the AR style weapon. I don't think I have seen a mini-14 exhibited. Maybe I just don't get arround much. I have tried 3 mini's and was not impressed with accuracy, I have never had a failure to feed, fire or extract with any semiautomatic rifle I have...

Does the Colt Carbine have a chromed barrel and bore?

O.K. I add $500.00, so $1500.00, how would you set this gun up? jimmyp

Here is a fun project! I just sold a gun and scope and collected some money to invest in another gun. I have some experience with AR type rifles but am no expert. The number of options today makes your head swim. I would like to get a good 100-200 yard 16 inch barrel defensive carbine in 5.56...

This is an interesting subject. I am waiting to see if the remington 6.8 cartridge is going to be chambered by others in the AR-15 type platform. I think a light handy gun is important to me, but if you hunt like I do and shoot 150 pound deer from time to time that 660 ft-lbs of energy at 200...

I love the design but hate the sights and general accuracy. I wish I could find one with a different rear sight set up and capable of routinely producing 3 MOA groups. I owned one of the Bulgarian guns once and just was not impressed with it's accuracy. Since then I have given up on them. jimmyp

Dave3006, I am 52 years old and have been shooting guns since I was 10. I do not have a gun in my collection that is not cleaned when used whenever possible. There have however been times when I could not clean a gun right after use. This is part of the original post: Because of that, I...

Saigia is the best choice. The gas piston-bolt carrier of the Ruger is not chrome plated and will rust in place if fired and used in the field under moist conditions and under conditions in which a user might not have time to clean it. i.e. "an emergency". I have personally had this happen to...

How many countries have specified the Mini 14 as a battle weapon and equipped their troups with it? Does anyone know?? Zero is the number that pops into my head.....

Byron, I have owned 3 AR-15s and never had a problem with them. I do read though and believe the M-16 and it's gas system are not as reliable as say an FAL gas system or lets say the AK-47 gas system. This is to take nothing away from the Ar-15, M-16 as they do work, but I have never had a jam...

At one time or another I recall some country in South America attempted to use the full auto version briefly in their military. If I recall correctly this experiment ended poorly, they did not hold up. There is no real way to quantify why they are such a poor rifle militarily, however this is...

.... and so just how is current Winchester quality control anyway? Other than some QC issues I have heard recently which I cannot personally attest too, I do know the Marlin is heavier and the Winchester just "seems" like the right gun, it is light, handy, and conjurs up images of the Duke and...

Art, what caliber is your Rem. Ti? I guess I have grown out of the "short barrel" snydrom as well. They are too loud and many times you give up "too much" jimmyp

I had a blue model 7 in 308 with 18 inch barrel, wood stock and 2.5 x 8 Leupold VIII. I killed 8 or so deer with it in the late 90's. I was a handy gun but no matter what I tried I could not get it to shoot into better than 3 inches off a bench at 100 yards. It will also give you a pretty...

I had a preban springfield FAL, the gun shot 2-3 inches at 100 yds using among other things portuguese mild steel ammunition, it featured a chrome barrel and bore, and was completely reliable. I traded it for a new hunting rifle but am going to replace it with something else. I liked it but it...
