    How not to talk to the police.

    On another Media Report it said he had shot the Girl 7 times before executing her with what he called "a good finishing shot". When he dragged them into another room he placed them on a tarp, maybe de didn't want blood on his concrete (pretty convenient hey). No one is arguing that he didn't...

    Marlin Levers still suffering from QC issues?

    DON'T buy a new Marlin sight unseen I just bought my second new 1895SBL a couple of weeks ago. First one was a 2009/10 model (I think) and this new one is a Marlin made in the old factory but Remington owned just before they moved. I know the shop owner really well so he let me look through the...

    25-06 rem vs 243 win

    Which would I get 243 or 25-06? If you handload neither, I would get a 260rem;)

    Does the 7mm-08 Hurt 260 Rem. Sales?

    It probably does hurt the 260 sales a little but IMO unlike the 7mm08 the 260 is a handloaders round (if you want at least a little variety as there is not much in the way of factory offerings). Most who own the 260 sing its praises and again IMO the 260 is at the top for a medium game round...

    reloading start up

    Hey Lost Sheep Look I agree with what you said about buying a reloading kit (I didn't buy one either but I knew how to reload and what I wanted and needed). The reason I stated get the Lee Reloading Kit was in the OP he stated "Can I buy a Reloading Press for $30. I said only get the kit if...

    reloading start up

    You pretty much said you didn't want to read anything. Let me ask how do you plan on reloading safely without reading any reloading books (by watching YouTube)? LOL If you want to get into reloading without spending much money then a "Reloading Kit" is the way to go. Even if you have some...

    reloading start up

    No offence but with an attitude like that I recommend you dont even think about reloading and just keep buying cheap factory ammo. I cant speak for everyone on this forum but before I reload a new recipe I have never done before I look to at least a few different reloading manuals. If you dont...

    I'm baffled - why does this happen?

    I find alot of people (myself included) can shoot better with a Bipod then Bags. Like Stack said I think it has to do with being able to load up the Bipod with pressure before you take the shot and I think this makes things more repeatable (is that even a word) when you shoot. Edit: Yep its a...

    got my first tikka

    Love me Tikka T3's (I have 5 of them). Without a doubt the best value for money rifle on the market (those finns know how to build a rifle). I see you said you liked the trigger of the T3 over the Vanguard S11. We dont have the S11's in the country yet, so what is the trigger like on the S11...

    Should I get rid of it?

    I doubt you would have had any trouble with the Tikka shooting to its accuracy guarantee (1" (Sub MOA) 3 shot groups @ 100 yards with hunting ammo. If it's a Varmint model with the heavy barrel then the guarantee is with 5 shots). If you are not happy just sell it and buy a Tikka. I also had...

    Taking Back the Infantry Half-Kilometer: A critique.

    Wanat was a joke in that some idiot commander put there FOB smack bang in the middle of a valley surrounded by highground with only 49 US and 24 ANA soldiers protecting it. They also gave them surveillance and air support (Drones) but took them away to fly a "higher priority mission" leaving...

    Getting a Premium rifle,scope combo for my son.

    Just get your son a Sako 85 IMHO the Quality, Consistency and Accuracy of the Sako's is better then the Cooper and Kimber. I have heard of a number of Coopers and Kimber that have had to be returned to the factory multipul times to get defects fixed also the Accuracy Guarantee of the Sako's is...

    Varmint rifle or hunting rifle?

    Skip the Savage and Remington and get yourself a Tikka T3 in a light sporter barrel (Lite, Hunter, Laminated) or a heavy barrel (Varmint, Super Varmint) in 243 or 22-250. IMHO the fit, finish, trigger ect are alot better on the Tikka's then the Savage or Remington (and even the Ruger) and all...

    .270 or .308?

    I dont know how you got the 308 has alot more recoil then the 270. From experiance shooting the same gun Tikka T3 Lite the 308 with 150 grain ammo has about the same kick as a 270 shooting a 130 grain bullet (I couldn't tell the difference). Sure the 270 shoots a little flatter then the 308 but...

    Taking Back the Infantry Half-Kilometer: A critique.

    I read that about 6 months ago, all 72 pages (I think) of it. See what they recommend the 223 be replaced by the 6.5Gren or the 6.8SPC and they even mention the Piston uppers (cant remember exactly what they said but I think it was the piston upper may be more reliable in a desert enviroment...

    Ring question for high power rifle shooters

    Get yourself some (American made) steel Warne rings. I have used just about every brand of ring on the market and IMHO for the money the Warnes cant be beat. The part number for the Warne rings that suit a CZ 550 (19mm Dovetail) are Part Number 1B = medium rings 2B = high rings You just need...

    Coyotes In Semi-Rural Area -- Which Caliber & Bullet Type?

    If you want to buy and use a 17rem you might as well use your 223. Theirs at least a few problems with that (buying and using a 17rem). 1. the 17rem is going to probably be louder then your 223 2. you have to buy another gun and ammo (which you don't want to do) 3. by all accounts the 17 cals...

    Best 30.06 hunting rifle for under $400.

    What JMR40 said IMO if you want a good cheap rifle about the best bang for your buck will be the Marlin XL7(long action) or XS7(short action), next best (again IMO) would have to be Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard, but it weights more. I don't think many people have seen them but the best value...
