    Everyone's a frickin' firearm expert on the Internet

    Ever get as sick & tired as I do with all the "experts in their own mind" on all these gun forums. Christ, it's practically impossible these days to find any thread that isn't filled with Joe Blow comments or "facts" that aren't. Makes for finding truly worthwhile and factual information all...

    2.67" inch group at 1000 yds = amazing

    Read a remark on a recent post about a new owner of a Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter where someone had a real hard time believing the gun was capable of 3/4" groups at 100 yds. I made mention that's a pretty simple feat these days, and that 1000 yard competition commonly shows...

    Graffiti painter killed by homeowner - news story

    This is a horrible tragedy. Caught wind of this news story that happened yesterday locally here in the Minneapolis area at the local gun shop this morning. Don't get me wrong - I'm a firm believer in the right to carry and posses firearms for personal protection myself, but may it serve as a...

The rifle (Savage 12BVSS in .243 Win) will be used 90% of the time for target work - from 100 yds and to a lesser extent 600...

    Matte black or gloss black scope finish?

    Finally picked my scope, rings and base for a new rifle. Putting as much money into the scope as the gun itself, or about $600 each. Scope being a Leupold. So I'm figuring I'd best better understand why one might pick one finish over the other. Kinda' a goofy question, but figured I might...
