    Scope for AR in 300 Blackout

    I have the Leupold VX-2 Ultralight 3x-9x 33mm LR Duplex which weighs 8.8 ounces on my 223 and my 300 BO. I had a Burris Fullfield II 4.5x-14x 42mm Ballistic Plex on my 223 for a while but that scope weighs 18 ounces. Both scope manufactures make great optics with good glass in them. Burris makes...

    Oldest M2 machine gun that was still in service

    Heck of a weapon and service life Got to train with/shoot an M2 back in 2004 in preparation for a deployment to Mosul, Iraq that didn't happen. As an Air Force Fire Fighter it was just amazing to get to train on some of the Army toys. I'm glad to see that they are planning on keeping the M2...

    Sierra bullet factory

    I have not toured the Starline plant even though it is right next door. Most of the time when I'm in Sedalia and I stop in at Sierra I'm on a bit of a time crunch. They do have some great people working at Sierra.

    Sierra bullet factory

    Heading south on 65 coming in on the North end of Sedalia the first stop light you get to if you turn left and go past the bottling company and take another left you'll be right there at the door to the seconds store of Sierra.

    Sierra bullet factory

    I live 30 miles from the Sierra Factory and even in the spring when they run their pistol bullets, it's hard to get factory second pistol bullets and I'm not sure why. Every time I'm in there it seems that they don't have something I want/need and so I just get more of what I really don't need...

    Calculating Twist Rate with Sabot?

    45 Cal .452 225 gr FTX® (45 Colt) This is the bullet I shoot, using sabots and two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets, from a CVA Staghorn Magnum 24" barrel .50 caliber with a rate of twist of 1 in 32", topped with a fixed 4X Simmons scope. I have never recovered a bullet that I shot deer with. I've shot...

I've got a Burris 2-7 scout scope mounted forward of the receiver and shooting from a rest on a bench @ 100 yards can chew out the middle 2" area of bulls-eye...

    point of impact

    My friend's granddaughter deer hunts with my Armalite M15A4 .223 Remington rifle. We've spent numerous hours on the range with her and that rifle. At 100 yards it is dead on and she can keep an entire 10 round magazine of Sierra 65 grain Gameking bullets inside of a chewing tobacco can. Just...

    Cross-draw: when is it okay?

    For hunting Like edmo01, I carry my 6" Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum in a cross-draw rig when I'm deer hunting in Missouri. Not only does it keep the handgun available for draws with either hand when carrying a slung rifle on strong side shoulder and keeps the rifle from banging on the revolvers...

    This is what the Missouri Regulations state..."It is illegal to leave or abandon commonly edible portions of game." Not exactly certain who decides what is "commonly edible"...me or the game warden? The state regulation does not elaborate. :confused:
