    Ruger Carbine

    Got one in a trade deal. Never would have bought one (I dont think) but now that I have it I love it. Very sturdy... heavier than expected. Put a MI rail on, MRO, and it is a joy to shoot. I would get more utility out of it in a more potent cartridge... but as it sits I can blast away my cheap...

    I think I want a .223 bolt gun. Which one?

    CZ 527. I just picked up a varmint model and love the way it balances. The barrel isn't super heavy and the otherwise light and small aspects of the rifle keep it relatively light. But they also make a slimmer barrel profile in the "american" model which might be what you are looking for. I...

    Scout rifle proliferation

    Yes that is what I was referring to. As opposed to assuming that in generic terms, the hypothetical semiauto vs bolt guns in questions are not defective or improperly modified. I only had a problem with the position of semiautomatic rifles in general being MORE SAFE than bolt action. If bolt...

    Scout rifle proliferation

    Cherry picking known manufacturer defects to claim semiautomatic rifles are more safe than bolt action rifles is a stretch. In one case, the rifle once fired cannot be made to fire again unless the user intentionally ejects the spent case and loads a new round. In the other, after being fired...

    Scout rifle proliferation

    I will always prefer a bolt action to a semi auto. Cant really say why.... reliability..simplicity, safety... no special magazines... less likely to aimlessly blast through ammo. If my AR's were worth anything I would likely have sold them all by now.

    Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle...anybody have one?

    Luke- I believe it was a lipseys exclusive at the time. Had it 3 or 4 years now. Amd6547- I agree and have recently picked up a predator 6.5grendel(AR style mag) which is a fun little rifle. Not really a direct comparison here, wish they would sell them with iron sights!

    Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle...anybody have one?

    I have had one for a few years and really like it for what it is. A little heavy, but definitely has that "solid" feel in every way. Sweet shooter, very accurate but I always kept a fixed 4x scope on it for deer season which was a great little package. Never tried the forward scope setup...

    Best hunting gun for deer with medium recoil

    Just picked up a used Ruger American Predator 6.5 grendel, takes AR mags and with the heavy barrel is not particularly light. Have not shot it yet, but I imagine it will recoil much like a .223. Nice little gun should be loads of fun!

    Best hunting gun for deer with medium recoil

    This year was my first hunting with a 6.5 Creedmoor in a very lightweight rifle. My biggest motivation in the move was to reduce recoil and I am very happy with the cartridge and the decision overall. I shot better this year than I ever have, enjoyed practicing in the off season more and felt...

    2018 Hunting Picture Thread

    Last chance for me, season is now over. . by edapp posted Jan 2, 2019 at 4:28 PM Picked off two does at about 175 yards through the fog and mist. White spot at the end of the food plot is one. Larger of the two was about 110 lbs, which is quite big around here. Weird season. It has been warm...

    What age for first time shooting a gun?

    My son (pictured fishing in my avatar) started shooting his .22lr at 4 years old. He has always been mature for his age (could fish independently at 2, and pay attention the whole time!) He showed significant interest, and has always enjoyed it. He begs to go, takes it very seriously, and always...

    Good deal on Leupold VX-3i 3.5-10x40, Duplex

    Picked this scope up last week (arrived today) on ebay for $231. Dealer had a 15% off sale and ebay had a 15% off coupon on top. Have no need for the scope, but could not pass it up at that price! Luke post a picture of that GSR, you might talk me into mounting it on mine!

    2019 Rifle Goals?

    I would really like to hold one, but even if they were offered in the US my odds of finding one locally would be near zero. No one around here seems to be on the CZ train... Regardless I will probably own one in either the american, varmint, or MTR offerings at some point. Only thing holding...

    2019 Rifle Goals?

    I want to sell a handful of rifles I never use, and shoot my Barrett FC 6.5 CM as much as possible. I would like to pick up a bolt action 6.5 Grendel. Still haven't decided which, and will probably wait for a new option. If the CZ 527 MTR is released here I may not be able to resist. Looks...

    Fiocchi Momentum rifle, any experiences or hearsay?

    I handled one in a store a few months back. It was OK, to me, nothing real special. Was like an oversized tikka? There are so many well regarded budget rifles now that I cant say it stood out to me in any way other than the action seemed larger than necessary.
