    BSA Sweet 17 on a .223?

    I'm not looking to put a new scope on it, just wondering since the scope is calibrated for .17 what the difference will be when I shoot the .223. We sighted it in at 100 yds and got it dead on but I'm wondering what it will do if I switch to 200, etc.

    BSA Sweet 17 on a .223?

    I know it sounds silly, but I want to leave this scope on. I went with him and bought the mount, helped him mount it and the did all the shooting while we sighted it in. It's kind of a reminder of some "quality time". It's wonderfully accurate, and a great shooter.

    BSA Sweet 17 on a .223?

    I just picked up a "like new" Remington 700 SPS .223 from my granddad. It's in beautiful shape and has a BSA Sweet 17 scope on it. I know it's a shooter as I helped him sight it in when he bought it last year. My question is, what's the difference it the "Sweet 17" scope and the "Sweet 223"...

    Tell Me About The Bloopers You Had While Carrying

    My wife and I left the house one morning, and I had my Taurus PT145 in my Smartcarry, as I always do. Went to Midas to have some work done on my truck, was there a few minutes, then my in-laws picked us up and we went out to breakfast at a buffet. Made 3 trips thru the line (it was good and I...

    HI Point Firearms what does anyone know about these

    If you ask a Hi-Point owner (such as myself) they'll tell you they love them and they are the best bargain going. I have a C9 pistol and 995 carbine and love them both. Don't expect it to be something it's not (i.e. concealed carry weapon, match shooter, etc...) and you'll be fine. If you...

    Where to Ask Before Bringing a Gun into a Home

    "Do you get a lot of "Home Invasions" ab4ka? I'm not saying that it's not better to be safe than sorry. Just that there's pros and cons to everything in life. Sometime we take our chances. We take chances every time we get into an automobile. Yet, we still get in a car. Even though you have a...

    Where to Ask Before Bringing a Gun into a Home

    asking permission I never tell anyone when I'm carrying (which is anytime I leave the house). My wife knows I'm always armed and she knows to keep her mouth shut. If someone should somehow find out I'm carrying (which would be awfully difficult since I use a Smartcarry) and not like it, I...

    colt python

    I have a Nickel plated Python, 6" barrel, and it is by far the best shooter I own. It also has a story behind it...it couldn't have been too long after I met the girl that later became my wife 15 years ago when her dad broke out his Python and showed it to me. 3 or 4 years ago we were at (now)...

    concealment for a large man

    Another Smartcarry recommendation I'm a big guy myself (that's putting it politely) with a large spare tire (we're talking full size monster mudder) and the Smartcarry was the answer for me. It rides right under my spare and carries just fine. I've had mine for about a year and a half and...

    Phoenix arms .22 pistol

    Phoenix Arms HP22 I had one of these and it actually shot quite well, but it had a problem with the trigger not resetting now and then. I eventually just sold it, as I wouldn't carry it concealed, and I wanted something larger for plinking. I had the long and short barrels for it, and it...

    recoil pad needed

    I use the Shooterpad (www.shooterpads.com, also available from Brownell's) and it works great for me. It is slip-on gel pad with a neoprene sleeve and comes with addition thin pads that can be put inside. It works really well.

    Rock Island Armory 1911...any good??

    I've got the standard Rock Island "GI" pistol and I love it. I've had it for a little over a year with no problems at all. It eats everything I've put thru it. I'd love to have a Taurus 1911, I'd also like to have the RIA Tactical. If I had both of them in front of me with money to only buy...

    New Taurus Pistol

    When I first saw this, it reminded me of a full size version of my PT145 Mil-Pro.

    why everyone loves glock handguns so much?

    I don't like them. I don't like the grip angle, and (I'm probably about to open a can of worms) I don't like any semi-auto that doesn't have a manual safety. I love my Taurus PT145, and I think a 1911 is the classic gun. If I could only own one pistol (not talking revolvers), it would be a 1911.

    Kel Tec .32s and .380s?

    I've had a P32 for about 4 years now and it has been completely reliable. It was my primary concealed carry weapon until I got my Taurus PT145 a year and a half ago. I still carry the Kel-Tec a lot, primarily if I'm just making a quick trip somewhere...it's easier to throw in my pocket (in a...

    Do you top off for CCW?

    Yes, for two reasons... 1. If I have should have to use it, I want all the firepower I can. 2. If I have should have to use it, I don't want to have to rack the slide, just draw, sweep the safety off and fire.

    CZ-52 problems

    I used to have a CZ-52 (that I wish I still had) that I never had any problems with...I wonder if the rollers may be going bad on you? I always kept mine well lubricated with a healthy dose of "Slide Glide" and it worked fine. Bad ammo (I don't remember what I had but it was awful...every...
