    Do you think the Garand is obsolete?

    It is not obsolete in the way that is will still kill people. However I wouldn't want an eight round magazine in a firefight. Also note that bolt actions are still around due the the inherent accurracy of the action the garand has no advantage in accurracy over the stoner design. The M14 is not...

    Ever wonder if gun magazines clean firearms before testing? My take.

    If I am looking for a reliabilty test. I want the gun to be unlubed and dirty b/c if it functions under those circumstances it will function cleaned and lubed. Too many guns are only tested under perfect conditions which don't exist to a guy walking in the rain, a cop walking the beat, or...

    Mosin rifles still everywhere, but the ammo......

    They can only ban mil surp ammo so Wolf and Brown Bear are safe b/c they are just cheap producers no different then Winchester if it was in Russia and had little to no quality control. Since all the real mil surp 7.62x39mm dried up long ago you don't have to worry about a lack of availablity in...

    Scope for a Ruger 10/22

    I picked up a Simmons 4-12x40mm at walmart for $60 that shoots great. Just don't get really cheap rings and your never lose your zero.

    10/22 w/can

    Great Rifle! First time I have ever seen a Leupold Mark 4 3.4x10 on a 10/22, but if you have that kind of glass laying around why not.

    best semi-auto 22?

    10/22 out of the box not that great, but put $200 (or more if you want a nice looking stock) into it and you have a super reliable tack driving .22 with 30 and 50 round magazine capacity. YOu can do anything to a 10/22 including making a pair of them into a mini gattling gun. You just can't get...

    Savage 10FP compared to Remington 700P (cost is NOT an issue)

    THe Savage isn't as pretty but it will shoot more accurately than a stock 700. 700s have more potential if you want to put 2 grand into it. The police snipers I know carry highly modified 700s but after all the mods the only original part is the action so I am not sure it can be called a 700. No...

    Scope Camo

    I just picked up a slightly used Savage 110fp. The problem is the guy had a custom camo paint job applied to the whole thing and I want to put my own glass on the rifle without it looking out of place. I am alittle hesitant to try to paint a scope I paid so much for. Does anyone know of a...

    Savage or CZ for .308 long range precision rifle

    Savage 110fp in .308 simply can not be beaten in the acurracy department anywhere in it's price range. The self adjustable trigger alone saves you the money a trigger job will cost. Also consider the ammo part of your budget .308 match is relatively cheap at $1 per round for black hills compared...

    Good all round rifle

    I was just over in Rock Hampton, Queensland for operation Tailsmen Saber. Austraila seems like a great country for hunting. I would go with a .308 for sure regardless of brand of rifle. I have seen how large Kangaroos can get and unless you want to chase after them I'd go with no less than .30...

    AR Advice Needed

    I'm going to be purchasing a M4 type of AR at the end of the month. I do not have the money to purchase a Colt, but I spent a great deal of time with my issued Colt in Iraq and loved it to death. I'm looking for a reliable quality AR (preferable one that will have no problem with cheaper ammo)...
