.17 HMR only works on Tannerite at ranges closer than 100 yards. I've never had a failure with a .223
GREAT STUFF!
Watermelons are the only way to go with big bore revolvers though...
I bought the Stag. ZERO regrets. The varmints don't care how much you spend.
(Put good glass on it and don't feed it Wolf ammo no matter what you choose)
It's not the wrist, it's the web between your thumb and index finger. :-)
Heavy bullets at 900-1400 fps are milder than the sub 450gr slugs launched at 1400-2000fps.
Rock and roll!
What are you trying to say?
The San Francisco PD has done exactly that and the primarily Hispanic/Latino and Asian recruits are indeed physically more diminutive on average.
I found no ethnically pejorative tone or content in Mr. Quinn's article. Perhaps you should turn your sensitivity meter...
Cool.
The cost and complexity required to motivate a bullet accurately at those ranges is impressive but it seems that the next step beyond .408 range would be an electromagnetically propelled projectile. 10,000 meters per second takes a little edge off windage effects. :-)
I bought a Stag model 6 'precision varminter' for ~ $1000 for the complete rifle.
Comes with a 0.5 MOA factory guarantee and a 2 stage trigger. Heavy (they're not kidding!) barrel and free float handguard.
I topped it with a Nikon Monarch 5-20 scope and a nice harris bipod and I have a gun...
Appears to be designated marksman training. DM's carry those, while the rest of a squad will have M4s and a SAW sometimes. No reason to believe it's a service wide change.
I researched and looked around at the exact same class of optics and settled on the Monarch. Longest eye relief was a big plus. Best optical clarity IMHO. (YES, over the Leupold according to my eyes) Nothing against the Bushnell 4200, the Nikon was just better at the price point.
Leupold...
How many of these opinions are based on first hand experience vs. anecdotes?
X frames are too big but a Ruger isn't?
My John Ross 5" 500 weighs ~6oz more than a 2.5" .480 Ruger. Most of that is barrel.
Long barrels and compensators are recommended?
I've been shooting bullets from...
Shooting well is more important than shooting big. That said, I'm a proponent of challenging your personal shooting skills.
Take your buddy to a range and make him rent a 500 and record his shooting performance. If he's happy with the cost of feeding and owning the mighty X frame then a...
As long as it meets the standard checkout req's then you should gleefully exchange your pale green paper for it and then skip to your car, whistling a happy tune.
