I'm looking at mounting a scope conventionally (not forward). Intended uses are target shooting, possibly deer/hog hunting and generally using the rifle to do things my 556 carbine cannot. I'm looking for 2-3 suggestions for a mount and scope. I'm not asking for what's "best". I don't...

I'm considering 308 semi auto rifles. How about the FNAR? Advantages over the other options? Other options are M1A, PTR and FAL.

I'm trying to figure out how to best set up the sling on an 870. This is the 870 without extension. I see they offer a magazine cap sling adapter, but this seems less than ideal. I like the sling loop plate I see offered. However, I am also considering a plate on the other side for a...

I'm really into buying the "classics" or "standards". I don't mean old guns, or "back in the good old days" guns. For instance, to me, the 10/22 is the standard 22LR rifle. I like others perfectly well such as the Marlin 60, but to me, they all are compared to a 10/22. Shotguns, it's...

I can't decide between a red dot with magnifier and a 1-4x scope. I don't want to spend to a lot. Looking at Primary Arms or Bushnell red dot and Primary Arms magnifier. For a scope I've been considering the Nikon M223 1-4x and similar ones by Burris, Leupold and Weaver. I am...

Also to complicate this... Need to run a light on the right hand side or below due to sling mount on left side.

I finally figured out a very comfortable and concealable gun/holster/clothing combination. It's very well concealed. But I am concerned about the possibility of a gun grab from behind. I'm carrying in the 4 o'clock position. I try to maintain good situational awareness and keep my head on...

Looking for something that will give an absolute cowitness.

I'd like iron sights. I'm fine with a blued finish or whatever cheap flat black finishes are offered. 308, bolt action, with a scope. Go. How much am I looking to spend? As little as possible, but still end up with a quality "weapon system".

Looking at the Streamlight TLR 1 to move between a pistol shotgun and rifle. Yes I'm trying to stay on the cheap. Was pretty set on this until I handled the TLR 1 HP. Is the TLR1 typically enough for most rifle and shotgun purposes or do you prefer the TLR1 HP?

Would like to get a quality light that I can switch between a pistol, shotgun and carbine. Suggestions? I like the Streamlight TLR-1, but want to compare to other options as well.

Fixed front post, 16" barrel, flat top. Decided I'd like a 1-4X scope/mount and a back up iron sight for an M4. I see a lot of good options out there. Burris, Leupold, Millet, Nikon, not sure where to begin. I want it to be a true 1X on the low end, illumination would be nice but not...

Looking to put some sort of optic on an AR. Removable carry handle, fixed front sight post. I want to leave the front sight post so please don't suggest I switch it out. I am looking at the following options. Option 1. Typical red dot setup on flat top, co-witness w front sight...

Narrowing down my optic choice for an M4. Don't need top of the line but don't want junk. What works well at a decent price?

I've looked at the blackhawk/knoxx, not impressed. I am impressed with the Mesa tactical/Endine hydraulic setup. However, it's expensive. The above pic is of a Phoenix Kicklite setup for an 870. If you have info/experience on this, please let me know. Looking to stick with the bead...

Upcoming carbine IDPA match... was advised I could shoot this pistol only. I've only shot a few regular IDPA pistol matches. What should I expect shooting the carbine course with only a pistol?

Im not new to the M16/AR15 world...but I don't know much about all of add ons and configurations. When buying parts do you stick with one brand? Im looking to get: -Pop up rear sight -Small scope. Either 3 or 4x or something similar. -"Riser" mount for the scope for a flat top upper...

All other things being equal...are fixed scopes more sturdy/reliable than variable scopes?

Yes, I have sour grapes for not buying the various cheap AKs I looked at years ago, for around $250-$300 (if I recall correctly) or the Bulgarian ones for $500. Seeing WASRs now going for nearly $500, I had to ask myself, "at what point are these guns no longer worth the money?" Of course...

What are your preferred self defense sights?
