    Budget Shotgun

    Hey Folks, I shot sporting clays for the first time over the weekend and I'm hooked. I used a Beretta Silver Pigeon and it was a great gun but I'm looking for something in a much lower budget. I'm looking more for an o/u or a semi-auto and was wondering what a good entry level gun would be. It...

    Magpul American vs Boyds At One Stock

    I have a Ruger American Predator in 223 and I'm looking to put a new stock on it. The two stocks I'm looking at are the Boyd's At One stock and Magpul American. From everything I've read so far both meet my needs of a stock for a target rifle. Does anyone have experience with both brands...

    New Ruger Pistol Caliber Carbine?

    I saw this link earlier this morning and read some info on it. Looks like a built up 10/22 takedown and you can get mag wells for a variety of mags not just Ruger. The link now gives a 404 error. Does anyone know if this thing is real or just vaporware? Most AR style pistol calibers are a...

    Scope power for 200 - 300 yards

    I have a Ruger American Predator in 223 with a Nikon Prostaff 3 - 9 power and its working very well for me at 100 yards. My range will be opening up a 200 - 300 yard range in the next year or so and I was wondering if 3 - 9 is enough for the longer distances or if I'll need a more powerful...

    .223 / 5.56 barrel length for a bolt action

    Ok I've got an AR that works fine but I don't have any magnified glass on it just a red dot and I'd like to have a dedicated gun to shoot longer range.

    Multi Zero Red Dot?

    I don't know if they exist, if they are even possible or this is just a dumba$$ question. Does a red dot exist where you can change the reticle and have each reticle zeroed at a different distance? The red dot I have now and really like on my AR (Lucid HD7) has 4 reticles and all of them...

    New AR Pistol Grip

    I've had my M&P 15 for over a year and get out monthly to shoot and have never had an issue with the stock grip it came with until I attended a carbine class last week. I found by the end of the day my hand was cramping up and the small ledge on the front of the grip became a nuisance. So that...

    Whatever happened to Hornady Steelcase?

    Like the title asked what happened? A while back there was some discussion about it. Everytime I'd try to order the stuff in .223 it was always out of stock. Did it not sell well so they discontinued it? Was it a case where they couldn't make money on it becasue brass case ammo came back...

    Painted Front Sight?

    This may be a really stupid question but does anyone paint their front sight on an AR? I'm having problems picking up the front sight quickly (it's a generic square post) and thought maybe painting the top white or a day glo color might help. I've looked at fiber optic front sights but...

    What is an average range day

    I'm just curious as to what an average range day is for everyone here. Time at range, guns shot, round count and the like. I try and get to the range once a month but if I had the time and money would be there much more often. Generally I'm up early grab a something to eat from a drive...

    AR Optics for a Noob

    OK Folks, I'm sure this has gone around on various occassions but here is my dilemma, I've recently taken the carry handle off of my S&W 15 and then added a Magpul Pro MBUS and I am now looking for a sight to add on to it. In a perfect world I'd buy something like an ACOG or HAMR and be...

    CZ P 09 Range Report

    I had a chance to get the P 09 to the range over the weekend. Gun is a stock model no modifications as yet. I left the decocker on and have not yet repalced it with the manual safety option. Did a quick field strip to see if it shipped with any gunk in it but it was prety clean but still did...

Near the end of our excursion my wife asked me if what gun I might want if for a gift at some...

    No love for S & W?

    OK, so I have an S & W M & P 15 and to date the gun has worked great. The only drawback is I don't get to shoot it enough. I've had the gun for about a year and it's my first venture into the AR platform so I'm still learning about the weapon and trying to become proficient with it, which...

    CNN has a balanced report on an AR - 15

    Well this is about as balanced as CNN has gotten so far. If anyone asks you why you need an AR - 15 just say Hog Hunting. This piece is actually not bad and shows one of the many legal uses of an AR. I was wonderign how he paid for all his high tech gear then heard he brings paying...
