I agree with DeepSouth's comment. My assessment after many years of shooting deer with shotguns with slugs, rifles, and arrows is that they do not know they have just been shot through the heart, lungs, liver or major arteries so they don't just lay down and wait to die. They are animals and...

Thanks for the responses. I plan on testing this theory soon on my own socom but I was hoping that the overheating stories were myth. I have been considering removing the scout mount and adding a traditional scope mount and a putting the eotech or other optic there. Good mounts seem to be in...

Does anyone have any first hand experience with mounting an Eotech on a Socom 16? I have read in other forums about heat transfer affecting the functioning of the Eotech. From what I have read it always seems that somebody knows someone or somebodies cousin has a friend who ruined his Eotech...

Thanks for info Glockman19, I need to do more homework with regard to the CCW. Was not aware of the 6 month wait. Aaryq: I was thinking only 1 gun to keep things simple. Nearly certain I will be returning to MI after assignment is over. I may be overthinking (worrying) about what I...

Alright I know this discussion is as old as the hills but I am kind of faced with actually making this decision. If I had to chose one gun what would it be? Here is my situation. There is a very strong possibility that I may be relocating to California on a new work assignment that could...

I did replace the front sight with the one that came in the set. I also adjusted the rear ring completely down into the base until it bottomed. I finally hit paper when I aimed at the bottom of the target to see if I was overshooting the target. I am more than a little suprised that my...

Anyone out there have any experience with the XS Sight Systems Ghost ring aperture set for the Marlin 336? I bought a set and mounted it on my Marlin 336. I ran out to the range today and had not-so-good results. Even with the rear aperature bottomed out, the rifle was shooting close...

I carry mine in an Uncle Mikes-in the waistband holster in the inside chest pocket of my suit. Stoked with Remingtion 357 Magnum Golden Sabers.

I have shot a few boxes of the Buffalo Bore 38+P 158 LSWCHP out of my Ruger GP100 4" and my SP101 2-1/4". I think that this load is optimum for a personal defense loading. The recoil in the GP was very manageable allowing for quick follow up shots. Out of the SP the recoil was definitely...

I have a serious bug for an M1A, not sure if I should get the Scout or Socom 16. My main concerns are what I have been reading about muzzle blast from the 16 incher and reliability issues from SA overall. Can anybody offer any first hand impressions of muzzle blast compared to the 18...

P89cajun, One more option that you have is to get the barrel back bored but leave a portion of the barrel at the muzzle at its current dimension. Back boring increases the diameter of the barrel and doing so will create some choke. However, just as Lee Lapin stated, your costs may run...

Classic Lib, Like most have already said, with a good smoothbore, you can get some decent groups at a 100 yards, 4-5" groups. A rifled barrel with some of the high end sabot rounds will definitely get you more range and sometimes better accuracy. I used to own a fully rifled barrel...

The 1918 Influenza was all to real. Ignoring or denying the possibility of another outbreak will not make it go away. Just think how modern air travel will speed up the spread of the this nasty virus. Your guess is as good as any for how this could play if the H5N1 mutates to a human...

Thanks for the updates on controlled feed or push feed Legionnaire. Some talk as if this is a critical feature. Back to the original question / post. An interesting rifle to me is the Ruger M77 International in 308...

Can someone confirm whether the model 7 is a controlled round feed? and should this matter to me? I am also considering a 7. What are the drawbacks compared to a 700 in the same caliber of 308?

It sounds to me that in your opening post you are talking about that class of rifle that does is it all. You even admit that this particular rifle is called many different names. However, I would rather discuss the heart of your original post because it is more fun. Let's call it the...

If you are really inclined to do it yourself, then you will need only two items. First use a hacksaw to cut barrel to length. Second, you will need "Shotgun Barrel Facer" from Brownells. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/productdetail.aspx?p=5171 Make sure you get the properly...

Putting two words together like "scout" and "rifle" does not give anyone absolute control over what those two words together might mean. Most of us know what Cooper thinks a scout rifle is by his definition and what he has so widely written about. And I would bet that most of have a slightly...

I love the concept of the scout rifle. The Steyr scout however is just not to my liking, and its way too expensive for my budget. A scout rifle project is a great idea HeadlessTG, keep us updated. Wouldn't you want detachable mags instead of stripper clips? Building a scout rifle to...

300 to 500 yards seems to push the boundry of defensive force. You would probably be better off concealing yourself in the immediate surroundings of your home and just observe bad guys at that distance. If you are like most people, you will probably be alone so taking on a group of armed...
