It's a light, fun little carbine for casual shooting. They're surprisingly accurate and very comfortable to shoot. The various rails offer mounting points for sights, bipods, or whatever else you like. Depending on the ammo you shoot (I use CCI Blazer a lot), you'll have to clean it more or...

Nice setup. How do you like the Reflex sight? I've been toying with the idea of picking one up, but it doesn't seem to be a very popular optical sight in comparison to Aimpoints, EoTechs and the like. The no-batteries appeals to me, and I like that it's a simple, no-frills kind of utilitarian...

Anything? Blaser LRS2 .300 WM AI AWM .338 LM Sig Sauer SG551 5.56x45MM AK-105 5.45x39MM Colt Delta Elite 10MM Sig Sauer P226ST 10MM Benelli M4 12Ga

How about an FN Trilux scope designed for the FAL? Cheaperthandirt.com has them with a replacement reciever cover for mounting for around $250 or so.

Aren't things over .50 Class III/NFA/DD type things that "normal" civvies aren't allowed to own?

That's pretty much what I thought. So, most likely then, I'll go for a Vepr K in 7.62x39. Just gotta save some money for it. I have to lament though, I seem to have some odd fascination with the 5.45x39 round. Maybe after I have the 7.62 all ready to go, then I can go out and find a cheap 74...

If the SHTF, and you were compelled to go on the run (be it from commies, zombies, mutants, whatever) what kind of AK variant would you pick? I'm looking for an AK for fun (and I suppose, given the question a bit of security on the side) and don't know really what to get. I was looking at a...

What about the ZM Weapons LR-300? Isn't that a gas piston operated AR variant? Why the HK416 when such systems already exist in production?

GunGoBoom, we would have considered a combo .410/.22 survival rifle, but I'm going to assume it's a safe bet that neither would do much other than to infuriate a large predatory animal. That's why the heavier calibers have made an appearance here. What are the differences between .444 Marlin...

My brother's recently completed all his coursework and certifications to become an outdoor educator (e.g. NOLS). The line of work he's entering is going to put him out, way out in the backcountry, in various locations all over the country. Mountains, East and West, most likely. In short, he...

So I've had a 22 for a long time now, and it's a lot of fun, but I'm looking to step up to a more "serious" all around rifle for pretty much everything, including target shooting, HD, SHTF, maybe some small varmints, etc. Given the popularity of the AR-15/M4 platform, I figured that'd be a good...

Ruger Mark II, 5.5" Blued Bull Barrel is going to be mine really soon, I can't wait, thanks for the help. (Out of curiosity though, why was your Ruger a "complete waste of money?" Care to elaborate?)

Actually, according to Ruger's website, starting with 2004, the Mark II models are drilled & tapped and come with a weaver scope rail as well, so the qhole question of optics, red-dots, etc, looks like a non issue. The loaded chamber indicator as a safety hazard on the Mark III really turns me...

Seems like a Mark II might be a better buy if the magazine-disconnect safety is an annoyance, and the loaded chamber indicator is unsafe. I'm sure we can get used to a heel magazine release. Assuming they both shoot the same, then the cheaper price and more spartan arrangement of the Mark II...

My family's due to be CCW-approved any day now, and since Christmas is almost right around the corner, we've been thinking that a .22LR autoloader, a Ruger Mark II/III would be a nice "communal" gift. Since it'll be our first pistol, and its *probably* only going to get used at the range or on...

Does anyone have anything to say about the Hammerli/Sig Trailside pistols? Some people were shooting them at the range yesterday and they looked like they were really happy with them, kept touting how accurate, comfortable, and well balanced they were. I can get a Mark III 5 1/2" Bull for...

I've heard lots of good things about the Rugers, what's the difference between the Mark II and Mark III series? Anything I should be particularly aware of before buying one? I liked the way the Mark II I tried shot, and it felt rock-solid in my hands. I also tried one of the S&W .22LR...

Hello everyone, I've just started out shooting and am new to the boards here. After my second range day out with my father and Walther G22, we've become interested in not only shooting rifles, but also in taking a look at some pistols as well. The range we shoot at offers a pistol safety...
