    Yep, I r dumb.(range woe)

    Last weekend I took the scoped 10/22 to the steel plinking lane, knowing it needed to be sighted in because it had a new base. I shot it a few times, adjusted the turrets, and started pinging steel at 25 yards. One more adjustment ought to do it, so I rotated a turret...and the whole scope...

    Yep, I r dumb.(range woe)

    A few years ago I decided I'd try my hand at IDPA. The first time I was holstered up and then realized I have left ALL my magazines at home. The second time I forgot the keys to unlock my guns :banghead: 45 minutes -in each direction- of time AND gas wasted! :D

    What's the part number of the Remington .38Spl +P 158gr LSWCHP

    You know, the load everyone raves about for .38 snubbies. Is it the R38S12 or the R38S14? And if I could trouble you for the best/cheapest/most consistently stocked store to purchase from?

    7.62 FMJ surplus in .308 Rifle

    While not having an extraordinary ammount of experience with it, I have shot Lake City surplus 7.62NATO in my Savage 12BVSS with decent luck. Because it's "war" ammo designed for rat-a-tat-tat accuracy, I bought it for plinking and I shoot match ammo and XM118LR (175gr at 2580fps) for target...

    .44 Magnum in ballistic gelatin

    I'd say it hits just a wee bit harder than a bitch. That's just hearsay, not personal experience :neener:

    Are the gun safety rules flawed ?

    AD/NDs are only possible if one of the rules are broken. Revising the rules won't change the fact that a discharge was caused by gross negligence and inadherence to a rule. For instance: Murder is against the law. Someone kills a man, the rule is not at fault. Adding another rule won't change...

    A photo and target of my pretty Savage beast

    I have no idea how much it weighs, but I got rid of my free weights and now I benchpress this bad boy :cool: I would like to reload, but I don't think it's practical in my apartment. That a lot of cubic feet to invest in a press, tumbler, cleaners, lubes, tools, gauges, dies, etc...

    "Odd" Gun Stores That Sell Nothing

    Cosmoline, if you did that by memory I am impressed :D However, you forgot to incorporate the owner's name and the fact that the shoppe is so clean, certainly uncontaminated by guns. ;) I love the sketch so much my cat is named Wensleydale.:o

    H&K USP Compact .40 Issues

    I put Meps on my USP9C and my groups are just as bad as ever :D But honestly the gun ought to shoot like a laser. Try to qualify the problem. Is it your shooting style or the gun? Let a few people shoot it. Try different ammo. Shoot it in different moods on different days. Even if the...

    need help on what 9mm to get

    The two things that matter the most: that it "fit" you, and that it be reliable. My HK USP Compact 9mm is the most reliable handgun I've encountered and certainly is heads, shoulders, and beltline above my SIG P220ST and S&W 1911 in terms of reliability. It's not the easiest for me to shoot...

    savage 308 hunting rifle

    Also for rangerruck: That's a 12BVSS (short action .308, heavy fluted barrel, stainless everything). I had it in the rain and besides the scope mounts getting surface rust, the only issue was a little discoloration beneath the trigger guard. Seems to punch holes well considering my lack of...

    A photo and target of my pretty Savage beast

    It's a 12BVSS .308 with the AccuTrigger and apparently the even newer Phoenix magazine system. Sitting on top is a Ken Farrell 20MOA base, Burris Signature Zee Rings, and a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40mm. Excuse the crappy groups, I'm not too experienced in distance shooting. I hope to...

    want .45 with certin criteria...want feedback

    The SA XD45 or reconsider the HK USP 45. I am positively in love with the HK USPs because my USP9c hasn't had a failure in over 5000 rounds. I can't say that about my P220ST, SW1911 or P7M8. Hell, I can't even say that about my SKS or 870!! But if you can't get over whatever you don't like about...

    Happy 10FP Owner!! (Pic intensive)

    Falconeer, when you get a Medalist/Tactical/Varmint stock from B&C takes some photos and let me know what you think. I'm torn between it and the Savage Shooters Stock Varmint/Tactical. Those are some damn nice groups. I hope my 12BVSS will print like that :) I've only sighted it in, but it did...

    parked 870P effectiveness?

    I have an 870Exp. I want to buy an 870P.

    Thinking about getting a handgun......

    cbmyers you should absorb some info here first before jumping into a gun. First, it's very unlikely that you will find an effective, reliable gun of any type for $150. Even the $89 military surplus rifles at Big 5 will tip the scale at $150 once you've gotten a cleaning kit and a sufficient...
