    RIP RC Model sad news

    A comforting notion to his family might be that over 350 people who likely never met him in person took time to send their best wishes, and remembrances of the helpful insight he offered. That is huge; it is a part of the spirit that makes America such a special place, and to know that there are...

    9mm ammo "come a long way"

    Skribs, that is EXACTLY how I evaluate what given load I may use.

    S&W 625-3 new to me

    You have done very well! The more I fire our 625, the smoother it gets.

    Ruger SR 762 opinions

    I have had occasion to put a bit over three hundred rounds down-range, mostly from field positions from two examples. Both functioned 100% and seemed to be very accurate. If I were in the market for an AR-type .308 semi, it would be my first choice.

    California question

    Yea, I remember well the zip codes when I grew up there in the SFV. Sure has changed over the last fifty years.

    California question

    That is a very good summation of the ammunition situation. I have friends who have no problems, and yet they live within city limits of Los Angeles. Others I know in local neighborhoods only a few miles from them can't get much. Go figure. L.A. is so spread out, so expect anything, none of...

    For all the frugal buyers out there.

    Jrdolall, Thank you for the tip. I will look for same next time I walk through our local discount store. I do a fair bit of night shooting with various electronics, so that may help. However, like burrhead advised, I keep only the best in our weapons when they go back on the grab-&-go rack...

    CZ-527 7.62x39mm?

    I like mine so much I am considering a second for my kids. Mine shoots very well, about 1inch at 100 yards with our reloads. I like the iron sights, they are very simple. The bolt works very smoothly, and ejection is robust. The factory trigger is excellent, no creep at all, and even lighter...

    Scout Rifles

    We now own three (3) GSR's, the latest with stainless action and synthetic stock. For our uses on the ranch, they have turned out to be the best jeep gun yet, being very rugged and reliable. I much prefer using an EIR optic, two of the examples using the Leupold 1.5X5 EIR Scout with Firedot...

    Savage Scout 7.62x39 info needed

    Interesting, as my 527 shoots Wolf just fine; I too had a large stock of it, and bought the 527 to shoot it up.

    Savage Scout 7.62x39 info needed

    Can't say much about the savage, other than the examples I own in other calibers are all very decent rifles. I can say that the CZ 527 in 7.62X39 is a very well made little rifle that is very accurate with many types of surplus, ball, and modern hunting ammunition I have tried in it. While not...

    Strange Tula Ammo!

    I've been shooting bi-metal stuff from an Oberndorf HK-91 for years, no issues....ever. It just keeps going, with an annual cleaning if we even remember.

    Ruger Precision Rifle...

    We will wait until the dust out here in the desert settles a bit, but if it is any bit nearly as rugged as our GSR's, at that price I will leave one out in the observation post.

    "Goofy finger" shooting a DA as a SA.

    The only important thing to remember is to use proper and safe gun handling.

    How much junk do you drag to the range?

    Way too much. Portable heavy-duty bench, pop-up shade, ground stakes w/hammer, ground tarp, prone mats, two folding tables, chairs, wash station with an extra ten gallons H2O, wind flag, radios, range finders, chrono, marking stakes, steel targets of several types, cardboard targets & stands if...

    My G3A3 Battle Rifle

    I have been seeing magazines for as little as $2.00, surplus, but at that price, load them up, and throw away when empty!

    Which M1A Should I get?

    Spend the money $$, and get a rifle by Smith Enterprises. They sell their own M1A/M14 receivers and barrels, and most all accessories. If you have a GI rifle or receiver, they offer the Crazy Horse conversion package; it will be the last M1A platform weapon you ever need to buy.

    PTR-91 vs M1A?

    I own both (original Hk) and M1A, and can say that while the HK (or it's clone) is less $$ than the M1A, it is ergonomically inferior, recoils harder, and is genarally not as accurate. While magazines and spare parts for the HK are cheap, I don't believe either is more reliable under adverse...

    7.62x39mm gel test: TulAmmo 124 gr soft point

    I would not hesitate to use that ammunition for social purposes.
