    If you could only have one hunting rifle what would it be ???

    Sorry, but if you bait a bear out of season on public land and shoot it in the head with an under powered rifle without having a tag or even a hunting license, it's called poaching.

    If you could only have one hunting rifle what would it be ???

    I wouldn't want to defend myself with a 22 against a bear, but all this stuff in the Interwebs about how low powered bullets will just bounce of a bear's skull is nonsense. A 22lr will pierce a 1,000lb Brown bear's skull at the right angle. People don't want to believe that an animal that...

    If you could only have one hunting rifle what would it be ???

    Depends on the situation. If we're not talking about a survival situation, and this is just a gun I keep around the house to go hunting with, it's a pump 12 gauge shotgun with a smooth more slug barrel. You can hunt anything from big game, to small critters, to waterfowl with said setup. If...

    Need advice on gun to buy...

    Read the post you originally responded to. Now read your response to that post. Go back and read the first post again and think. Next read read the second post you responded to. Repeat steps 2 &3. Think about it some more. I'm starting to find a lot of other other gun owners more annoying than...

    Need advice on gun to buy...

    Meh, I grew up in the 80s in a minority-majority neighborhood. Crime for me is miniscule compared to when and where I grew up. Crime in general in the United States is at incredibly low levels compared to the Past, but mass media driven sensationalism keeps us living in fear as if crime is...

    Need advice on gun to buy...

    I've been carrying a pistol on me for almost 20 years now, and in that time my carry guns have gotten smaller and smaller as time went on. Once you realize that the chances of an average civilian getting into a gun fight comparable to a 1980's Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie is less likely...

    Are holographic sights prone to a halo effect in low light?

    I know that when my eyes are tired I have a bit of trouble focusing on standard sites these days. Maybe it is my eyes and not the site? My wife is blind as a bat. I'll have the neighbor kid take a look.

    Are holographic sights prone to a halo effect in low light?

    I've used these lights before, but this is the first one that I have ever owned. I'm unable to not get a halo effect to some degree indoors regardless of light setting. It's much more pronounced when set at the highest level than it is on 1, but unless I'll outdoors, there is somewhat of a halo...

    Are holographic sights prone to a halo effect in low light?

    I just received a holographic sight in a trade. It's not an expensive one. It costs about $90 new. It seems like there is a quite a halo effect unless the sight is outside in full light. Is this normal, or is this sight just junk? I was thinking about putting it one of my 22s.

    Taurus Tracker questions.

    I inherited a ruger single six that has had so many rounds out through it that the rifling is almost shot out. Ruger makes the best 22 revolvers on Earth IMO. I can't imagine there double action 22 revolvers not being beasts as well.

    Meaningful dialogue with "antis"

    This is a ridiculous post of the highest order. I'm a mentor to my nephew who is now competing in professional MMA. While I have been in a few street fights as a kid and I wrestled in HS, I would never attempt to coach him on the sport. Being a mentor to someone isn't the same as having the...

    Purchase my first AR yesterday.

    I'm still learning with ARs, but my buddy that does professional smith work, said something very similar to this.

    Purchase my first AR yesterday.

    I purchased a factory Colt A2 handle sight last night. I decided to keep my rifle as organic as possible, and the factory sight had everything that I was looking for. In hindsight, if knew now then what I know now, I would not have purchased a flattop, but having the ability to throw a high...

    Meaningful dialogue with "antis"

    Talking about anything gun related with people that don't own guns is like talking guitars with people that don't play guitar. The big difference is that people that don't play music usually don't try to tell me what guitars and amps I should or should not be able to own. They will at least...

    Where to store ammunition in an apartment

    Because large amounts of ammo is worth lots of money and extremely easy to liquidate. I keep my ammo inside my safe for that reason. I have about $3,000 worth of ammo in my safe. I have an alarm system and security cameras with two way communication that alerts my phone when I'm not home...

    Purchase my first AR yesterday.

    I have decided to go with a standard carry handle type sight. Been looking at RRA stuff this morning, but I also have seen quite a few like new Used Colt factory carry handles on Ebay as well. Am I getting anything more as far as quality goes with an RRA carry handle over the factory Colt...
