Don't trust a 22 for home defense. They are inherently prone to failure. And completely inadequate as a defensive cartridge. An AR-15 would be a million times better, and with light weight varmint ammo (50 gr Vmax) over penetration should not be an issue.

I've heard reputable sources say that the lower half of the gun needs no maintenance for 5K + rounds. I clean my slide out every few hundred just to avoid build up. There's really nothing to them. All you need is a punch (Glock makes one) to completely disassemble. The most important thing is to...

.243, .260, 6.5 creedmoor. .308 is a pretty mild shooter, maybe consider a muzzle brake if you don't mind the extra noise.

People kill deer with a bow, then turn around and suddenly need a 300 Win Mag when it's rifle season. I'm no expert on deer hunting, but I would say that like shooting anything with a heartbeat, shot placement is key. A subsonic in the boiler room is better than a supersonic in the gut. The...

I'm glad there is regulation of automatic firearms, if they were legal, people would use them illegally much more often, and then dems would surely ban all "assault rifles" and semi autos would be banned under that label... No thanks.

4x4 on, throttle wide open, 400ft lbs of torque from my F150 would push that Passat like a cardboard box. And kill anyone that was unlucky enough to be in front of my bumper or under my 35" mud tires. My vehicle is my first weapon I would use in a vehicle defense situation. If someone hops out...

My method may not be the most popular, but unless it's dirty scavenged brass, I don't even tumble my brass. It ejects straight into my hand from my bolt guns. I wipe off the carbon, lube it, size, wipe off, trim if needed, clean primer pockets, de-burr the case mouth, prime case, powder...

I used to work my way up from the min loads, but I got tired of wasting bullets / time getting less than stellar groups. I start 1 or 1.5 grains below max now, and have no issues... I've always been told book max is not that hot, and has to be mild enough to not blow up some older rifles. I...

Unless you're handloading, and loading them rather hot, I would not think so.. Factory GMM is accurate but factory loads aren't going to stay supersonic like a hotter handload would.

I have a 630 Lumen TLR-1 HL (same size as the original TLR-1, newer, brighter model) on my Glock 22. Bright as the sun indoors at night, but if I were to shine that light into an intruders face he would absolutely be blinded by it, and I would be able to decide whether or not to light him up...

That BCM looks right up my alley. As far as optics, I'm not planning on running anything magnified at the moment, that may change as I test out some gear but I want to be able to get on target fast.. If I did run any magnification I would entertain a 1-4, but I have my bolt guns for punching...

If that's the case, would a PWS Modern Musket, or an Entry level Noveske be a be the better choice for nearly the same money? I'm not into the idea of going over 2000 on the rifle alone, so the SR-15 is probably out of my range. I was aiming for something in the 1500-1750 range.. The SR-15 was...

That SR-15 does look really nice, I'm gonna have to add that to my list of possibilities, although it's on the expensive side. What is the ideal barrel if not stainless?

Great looking rifle, exiting that a big name manufacturer is getting into the real long distance game, and venturing outside of the typical .308 Win offering (I love 308 but these high BC cartridges have an edge for long range target shooting) Looking forward to seeing what you think of the...

Thanks for the replies guys.. I do not want to build a rifle. I know it might / will cost more but I just want to buy once and be done. I will never sell it, this is going to be my first AR-15. I've shot an RRA elite operator II and I liked it a good bit. My dad has a bushmaster that's not very...

Anyone own an RPC or ELC from Rangerproof? It's a small rifle manufacturer run by an SOF member, seems to be a very quality rifle that can be run hard... I might be getting into one, was looking for opinions before nearly 2K is spent on a rifle alone. I know that PWS, Noveske, DD, BCM, and a...

I am well over the dreaded flinch, which I have learned to avoid by shooting thousands of rounds of .308 since I was 13 years old. If I could shoot my Glock a little better, I'd be ecstatic, rifles, not too worried about it. I'm a sub MOA shooter, have been for years, now I just enjoy...

FWIW, the US Army has Snipers dry fire their M24's thousands of times, I assume you're more concerned about cycling and clearing jams etc, but you'd have to dry fire a whole lot to hurt your firearm.

Yeah 7mm it will be, the reason I want a WSM cartridge is the availability, and the fact they aren't belted and I will have one less thing to worry about, everyone here who knows me, knows that I roll my own. I believe my .308 has fired 1 factory round and it was because I was just shooting a...

Not worried about recoil. Would 7mm wsm be a better round?
