    Florida sheriff tees off anti-war couple

    I'm going to have to strongly disagree. There are plenty of other ways to support the troops. It can be something as easy as letting them know they are appreciated; I've talked to many and any and all asked have expressed their thanks and gratitude. It could be something more like...

    Florida sheriff tees off anti-war couple

    I've not seen the shirt but I've heard the phrase plenty of times. I've never made the jump from the phrase to the 2nd Amendment. I've always looked at it as a "support the troops" comment. **Edit, and I also think the lady is off her rocker...

    Housesitter/Petsitter and leaving your guns at home

    We always use a family member or a close friend who lives right around the corner. I know they are familiar with firearms in general and are familiar with what I own so I'm not worried about them. That said, anything left behind is locked up while we are gone. When we are out of town we just...

    Florida guns in cars

    Nice to see it happen, unfortunate it only applies to CCW holders. Still doesn't do my wife any good...she works at a hospital.

    Traffic stop w/ a CCW/CPL/CHL

    Never personally, but I've had friends stopped while carrying. Some got tickets, some didn't. Some had their firearm(s) secured, some did not. The best was a friend stopped while carrying his new (at the time) KelTec P3AT. He mentioned it to the cop (no duty to inform here) and they got...

    Mil dot scope

    +1 on the Super Sniper. I have the SS10x42M (10x, side parallax knob) on my 700LTR and love it. If you don't mind a fixed power I think you will be more than impressed with the value you'll get out of a Super Sniper. http://www.swfa.com/c-231-super-sniper-rifle-scopes.aspx

    Anybody Ever Been Kicked By a Mule?

    I had to laugh when I read the initial post and I've also got to agree with the post quoted above. I've been kicked by a horse (and cow-kicked, stomped, bitten and otherwise abused by them) and I wouldn't want to willingly feel that again.

    Best "Affordable" (under $300) Distance scope (max 1000 yards) with a min of 18 power

    I'd recommend the Super Sniper line of scopes if you aren't opposed to a fixed power scope. I've got the 10x on my rifle, but they also have a 16x and 20x. Etched glass reticle and designed to handle .50BMG recoil for $299. They are available through www.SWFA.com but their site seems to be...

    I almost had to shoot. Home invasion. Car robbery. Mall fight.

    I always liked how one of my instructors put it... It's better, easier, and cheaper to avoid a violent situation than try and extricate ones self from one. I've yet to have a situation where I felt I was going to need my firearm, but I have had some encounters when I was younger that had the...

    PSA: Writing pro-gun letters, school reports, etc.

    Very nice point. I've often read letters submitted to editors that have made me cringe. Aside from using proper grammar, spelling and basic writing techniques what you write can be just as important. Pick a few key points you wish to make and do so clearly and concisely. Know your...

    best factory 308 round

    I've been using Black Hills 175gn and find it to be really nice and consistent. The price ain't bad either and I had it in a couple of days. Just be sure to check stock... he sells a lot but does get it back in quickly.

    night time gun pictures

    Some of a friend that we took a while back at our hunting camp...out messing around in a dried up wet weather pond one night... I'm not sure where the other pics went, those are all I could find.

    Quality optics $200 - $275?

    Super Sniper line from www.SWFA.com I'll have to go along with the others who mentioned them already. I have the SS10X42M on my LTR and love it. The scopes are all fixed power and come in 10X, 16X and 20X with mil dot reticles and target turrets that can be rezero'd. At $24 more than...

    precision rifle optics

    If you want Leopold, look at the Mark 4s. They would probably suit your needs pretty well and fit with the overall theme of the rifle you are putting together.

    Precision rifle n00b question

    Check out the Super Sniper line of scopes offered by www.SWFA.com . They are really surprising for a $299 scope. They offer a 10X, 16X and 20X scope. They also offer a 10X with side parallax adjustment for $399. Read some of the reviews...while I've not read of anyone pulling off their $1200...
