    I think it is time for a bolt rifle again

    For bench rest games, 223 and 308 give you the biggest variety of loads for plinking, accuracy, etc. I love 270, but it's expensive to shoot and most of the ammo is geared toward hunters. For whatever reason, it never caught on with the accuracy crowd. If you're planning to handload, pick...

    Whats your caliber footprint?

    Rifles: .22 .223 .270 .308 .50 Pistols: .45ACP .380 Shotguns: 12ga I have multiple guns, and intend to buy more, but I do not intend to add any more rifle calibers. The only handgun caliber I will add is .44 magnum/special soon. I intend to buy both revolvers and lever...

    Army sees urgent need for M14s in Iraq & Afghanistan

    Not if you were in the Navy. Many US Rifles, .30 caliber, M1 are barreled for the shorter .308 - including mine.

    Questions about Rifles for Appleseed

    I shot the entire 2 days with my .308 Garand. It was definitely not overkill. If you can afford to shoot a real centerfire rifle for the event, do it. A 10/22 is fine for cost savings, but if you're doing it because you're afraid it's too much gun, don't. There is no need for any size...

    CCW in a Post Office?

    It already HAS BEEN upheld in court. No one needs to be a "test case." It has already been done, and the conviction was upheld. District court opinion is here Excerpt:

    FALs in the Vegas area

    It's a crowded, expensive range, but The Gun Store on Tropicana has FALs (and almost everything else under the sun). It's on Trop between Maryland Pkwy and UNLV on the north side of the street.

    I met my first pro-gun LEO, a very good experience!

    I know a number of officers and detectives who are "pro gun" in the same sense txgho1911 mentioned. They're "pro" CCW, background checks, gun licensing and registration, mandatory training, lautenberg bans, etc. And none of them have a problem with the LEO/non-LEO discrepancies in...

    The Big Heller Decision Discussion Thread - AFFIRMED 2ND AS INDIVIDUAL RIGHT

    My point exactly. This is better than it could have gone, but is not the monumental victory many seem to believe.

    The Big Heller Decision Discussion Thread - AFFIRMED 2ND AS INDIVIDUAL RIGHT

    This may still leave the door open to another AWB. Scalia says: This is very similar to Obama-speak about particularly "dangerous" weapons. The antis have largely won the fight in the court of public opinion on portraying civilian versions of AKs and ARs as especially dangerous or...

    The Big Heller Decision Discussion Thread - AFFIRMED 2ND AS INDIVIDUAL RIGHT

    Actually, Scalia sold us down the river on NFA items. There's almost zero chance of getting rid of the machine gun registration ban now. It also leaves open the ability for Congress to ban *anything* new as long as they do it early enough that the guns don't become "common." Kiss your 50...

    Best State For Gun Rights

    The people who keep saying Florida surprise me. One of only 6 states in the country with NO open carry right? And that's a "best state for gun rights?" Look at the Brady Bunch's state repotr card and any state with a D- or F is going to be pretty good. Off the top of my head... Montana...

    My 5 year old son has cancer :(

    My wife and I shared prayers and tears for your boy and your family last night. As a father of 4, I cannot imagine the heartache you must struggle with every day. Our prayers will continue to be with you all for comfort and healing. Thank you for sharing your struggle with the forum, and...

    Will You Fire The Next Shot Heard ’Round the World?

    Each Appleseed may be slightly different based on the range facilities available. While I understand that the plan is generally for 25yd reduced target work on day 1 and long range work on day 2, some ranges do not have longer facilities available, so both days may be spent at 25yds. Day 1...

    This liberal finally gets it.

    The only value left in the terms left/right, liberal/conservative or Democrat/republican is in their identification of the particular special interests most catered to by the statists bearing the moniker. The freedom-loving, personal liberty-respecting, let me live my life and I'll let you live...

    Who here has a single shot bolt action 22?

    I have a Remington Model 33 that was my granddad's, then my dad's. It has killed more woodpeckers than I could count. The elevator for the rear sight is long gone, but even with the sight sitting flush on the barrel, it will still shoot a group you can cover with a quarter at 25yds. Great...

    ak47 or Springfield M1A for SHTF

    Both The answer for me was both. In a Katrina-esque scenario, it seems that a carbine is definitely the way to go. We've decided on AR's in the M4gery configuration for that. On the longer range front, both for hunting and long range defense, I think something in 30 caliber makes a lot of...
