    I don't completely understand the need for collapsible stocks

    "one rifle is going to be shared by family members" happens a lot, especially when families are willing to put almost $1OOO into a quality ar15 rig, and you still want everyone even the up-and-coming operatoddlers to be able to enjoy shooting sports and the no- recoil design. i personally know...

    What is your "nearly perfect" cartridge?

    my .02 would be a .243 for what you've listed, but i concur w/ previous statements that a .308 can do anything if you ever go for larger game.

    sendero "special" model ?

    I can't find any information on this "special" model, only the new sf II dominates the internet searches I can perform... and I'm interested in buying one from a guy locally. Can someone please tell me if the barrel length is adequate to take advantage of 7mm magnum? Is it a good model? If it...

    Savage Hog Hunter vs...

    to echo others: my factory stock was crap, the rest of the rifle is as good as anything else savage makes. Mine in .308 will eat up any bullet 150 grain or higher and seems to love the 180grain hornady. It's a great rifle.

    embarrassed for my home state

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2633150/American-police-forces-benefit-millions-dollars-military-weapons-proof-vehicles-armed-forces-leave-Iraq-Afghanistan.html I am unspeakably thankful that my home state is served by such progressive law enforcement professionals. Especially in the...

    Rifle for my daughter....

    another vote for the savage My 5 year old loves hers, and I went w/ the savage because it had all the same features as the cricket with the one advantage of the feed ramp. When I was a kid I had the marlin, which like the cricket didn't have a feed ramp and was terrible to reload. I couldn't...

    will 50 cal really punch through concrete?

    1HK, a .50bmg FMJ single shot will go through crappy middle- east solid-concrete block walls (even the "good" iranian concrete which is their version of "contractor grade"), rip across a 20' room, and go through the other side like the kool-aid man's pissed- off little brother. Not much fun for...

    Locktite on Base screws?

    I missed a pig because my base came loose; when I got into it to find out why I realized that, in a hurry, I had selected a cheap scope base made from aluminum w/ aluminum screws... :( Learn from my fail. First off, I had forgotten the loctite. Second, I believe the thermal differences between...

    Looking to pick out a first centerfire rifle

    With those criteria, I'd start w/ either a ar15... You should be able to pick up a used one for about $800. Large calibers like [.458 socom] for hunting will come later as an easy addition to a trigger group and shouldering feel you're already used to. If you want a bolt gun, I would think a...

    .458 socom

    158gr SWC for 35 Remington?

    i made a cheap practice round for my .35 rem 760 (and a couple of my friends) using 158 cast lead RN bullets, and 11 grains of H110. They're accurate to about 65 yards before the rate of twist makes them suddenly shoot a "pattern" instead of a tight group. No recoil, low noise, fun to shoot. YMMV

    ar accesories what is practical, what is ridiculous?

    you can probably find a light- profile barrel used one for $800 that will save you quite a bit of time. If you're looking to just build one for the fun of it, then have at it.

    Campsite security

    portable motion detectors are veerry easy to rig up w/ some basic hardware store parts, accessorize w/ lights & audible alarms to your preference, limit range and field of view w/ strips of clear and solid tape as necessary for each location. There are some battery-powered modules available from...

    Why does any ammo work in military sniper rifles?

    CSC_saint pretty much nailed it; that was the best we could do for a lot of our units; de-linked 240b ammo and build-your-own mounts for the m14s. Still were a nice addition to our usual M4 "needlers" though. Snipers miss, adjust fire, and hit w/ the 2nd shot pretty often. The longest shot the...

    45-70 as "200 yard limit?" Uh,... ???

    The reasonable, ethical kill zone on a whitetail is about a 6" circle, especially using a 400gr 458 cal bullet. The ballistic curve on the hornady factory 325 load puts the difference between 200 and 225 yards right at 6", so you'd miss all to hell and gone of the kill zone if you were off in...

    45-70 as "200 yard limit?" Uh,... ???

    SO, we're all in agreement that the 45/70 will kill whatever it hits at double the original "200 yard limit" on the post, and now we'll argue bitterly about who is capable of doing what over the internet, and who can ethically produce what result... the "if you got proficient enough..." part of...

    45-70 as "200 yard limit?" Uh,... ???

    "and unless you shoot a LOT and know exactly what the wind speed is, what range you are shooting and and that animal is standing completely" UH- why would you take a shot if you DIDN'T know those things??!?!
