    Top ten annoying gun things

    1. Politicians 2. Gun ranges that treat met like a 5 year old, taking written tests and such before letting me get a lane. 3. The constant 'no, stop asking already' look I get when trying to find .22lr ammunition. (Unless you put up a sign which says you're out, I'm going to ask.) 4. Trying to...

    .22lr MEGATHREAD

    Bill's sporting goods near me for a big shipment of 22 yesterday afternoon. Federal auto match 325rds are $27 after tax. They also have 100rd ct CCI 22 shorts, and a fancy Aguilla 22 that runs >1700fps.

    .22lr MEGATHREAD

    Grabbed 3 boxes of 50rds subsonic thunderbolt from Bass Pro in Broken Arrow for $4/box. And another 2 boxes of Aguilla HV at $4.50/box at Academy Sports. Academy had plenty of 22 but with a 2 box limit and a price of $5+ for most boxes, I won't be buying from them again. Even Bass Pro was more...

    .22lr MEGATHREAD

    I know, but hard to pass on any bulk. I used to shoot 500+rds per month, but haven't been able to maintain it. So I take what I can when I think it reasonable. Just packed 2k rds for 10 days in Tennessee, and will have to replace that.

    .22lr MEGATHREAD

    Grabbed a Federal target 325 pack the other day from a local gun shop, slightly overpriced but still less than $.10/rd. Haven't scored any from Wal-Mart since they only put it out at 7am which does agree with second shift schedule.

    Which would you rather?

    I picked up a Sig Mosquito for my first 22 training pistol it's picky on ammo. It only shoots standard or sub sonic when suppressed, but regular range ammo has to be high velocity. Otherwise does just fine. I ended up buying one for my dad although he much rather would have had a Smith and...

    .22lr MEGATHREAD

    Picked up 150rds of Federal Lightning 40gr RN for $8 at th local Wal-Mart day before yesterday. First time I've gotten .22 from there since Christmas when I nabbed 1500rds of Remington golden bullets for $88.

    FBI; Shot placement is everything in a gunfight

    Seems applicable. Think of how many other LEO's have encountered a need to take down drug enhanced evil-doers. I'm not saying the .40 is underpowered, but remember it was originally designed as a low velocity 10mm round which was shrunk to eliminate empty case space and fit into medium frame...

    Rifle for my daughter....

    I guess that I've gotten my 10/22s cleaned up and a solid target rifle, I forget that out of the box they leave plenty to be desired, which is also a big part of the huge aftermarket selection. That probably has something to do with why I barely shot my first one for the first 3 years I had it...

    Rock Island Armory 10/22 Carbine

    Having had several Armscor 22LR rounds with casing failures, it will be a LONG time before I trust anything bearing their name. Why bother with a copycat when you can get the real thing again at Walmart for a little more? What's that extra $25-40 for something that has a damn near faultless...

    Rifle for my daughter....

    I'm going to cast another vote for the CZ. It's used at Boy Scout camps nationwide, and was the first gun I ever shot. If it can stand up to the abuse for a few years of Boy Scouts beating up on it then it's more than adequate for a family firearm. The Savage doesn't sound like a bad choice...

    I enjoy shooting 22lr much more than any other caliber.

    .22 is certainly an enjoyable round. It has its limits, but its still a blast to shoot. I learned to shoot as a young Boy Scout with bolt action .22. Now teaching new shooters, I always pulls out a poor Sig Mosquito with a high round count. Of my dozen or so firearms, I've ended up with half as...

    Do you bring a long gun when you travel?

    When flying I'm lucky to check a pistol, never bother with long gun. Being a former bag thrower had something to do with that though. When driving I only take one when going to an area where I'm going to get a good chance to shoot it (like parents ranch), but not for self defense, no.

    Most aesthetically pleasing handgun in each caliber

    Here's what I'm partial to: 22 Volquartsen Scorpion 6" black with compensator 380 Not a fan of many here, but Ruger LCP 9mm hard call, but I've always been partial to HK USP/P30/P2000 look 38, Colt Python Target 357, 6" stainless Ruger Blackhawk 45, hard to argue with a nice...
