    Question of scope quality- Leupold

    I've put my Leupold Mark 4 through.... a lot. It's a fantastic tool - extremely reliable, repeatable, and very high quality. I'd buy another if I were in the market, without hesitation. I used customer service once and they were very thorough, completely checked out the scope and repairing...

    Cycling round too often making it short

    For my Sig 229 extraction becomes unreliable with this method of chambering. I've also had problems with extraction when manually putting a round in the chamber, then releasing the slide from full lock. Extraction with a normally chanbered round is fine. If you're going to try this method...

    CNN Oppinion Piece: Gun Control is not the Answer

    LZ Granderson has an op/ed piece in CNN that is one of the most (if not the most) reasoned, reasonable, thoughtful and IMHO correct points of view on the issue. To summarize, he says that as long as we keep making the debate about guns, the problem will never be solved...

    leica crf1000 vs. vortex ranger 1000 ???

    Whether this matters to you or not, you will likely be able to sell the Leica for much closer to the price that you paid for it, as compared to the Vortex, years from now. It's even possible that you could get more. BTW - where did you find a Leica CRF 1000 for (I'm extrapolating) $380? I...

    Received Some Back Order Stuff

    That's not bad - I ordered about 10 Pmags in mid-November (from Botach) and they didn't arrive until yesterday. But they arrived. :)

    Building A Long Rifle Range

    For long-range rifles there will be little difference between 50 and 400 yards. Personally, I would put targets at every 100 yards. If that's excessive, I'd emphasize targets beyond 400 yards, or even beyond 600 yards. 2KYDS

    My first confrontation

    If you want to "get over it" - meaning recover from the physiological and psychological effect of what you had to do, you should talk with someone about the event. The more you talk about it the more you should be able to recover from the emotional impact. Not talking about it could preserve...

    Ever successfully persuaded an anti?

    Couple more points - you will get a lot further if you don't judge, at all, their positions. You can disagree, fundamentally and absolutely, but that doesn't mean you don't respect their right to hold and voice a different opinion. That right is as fundamental a part of our republic as the...

    “Gun violence”

    The language makes it easier to focus discussion on the "gun" part of "gun violence," since we all know we can't fix the "violence" part of it. :scrutiny: Sarcasm aside, it's a good debate tactic. The language steers people away from solutions that don't address the "gun" aspect because if...

    Ever successfully persuaded an anti?

    Yes, a number of times. My approach is to ask a lot of questions - why do they believe that, where does that belief come from, what about variations on that. Many (most?) people don't have well-constructed belief systems and when you start working through the discrepencies and inconsistencies...

    Concealed Firearm Permit vs. Brady Background Check in Nevada

    I have never waited for a rifle, shotgun or handgun in NV. Is this waiting period a Las Vegas/Clark County requirement? My purchases have been in Douglas County and I'm good to go as soon as the NICS clears (and yes I have to pay for that).

    Long Range Shooting class?

    Their long range rifle classes don't include exercise (they even break out the trailer to haul students from the classroom to the range). their sniper courses are a scaled down version of us army sniper training - far more than just shooting. the fitness test is over quickly and I'll...

    Straw Purchase?

    This is where it may genuinely make a difference as to whether it is a married or unmarried couple. Either person has legal claim to the money - it's irrelevant who earned it. Example: Wife earns a paycheck, husband doesn't. Husband and wife go to LGS, wife points out a gun, husband fills...

    no brainer kiss nfa trust thoughts

    The consensus - actually the only advice you're receiving - is to hire an attorney. You seem intent on doing this yourself, and that's your right. I've certainly dabbled in areas of law far outside my expertise, knowing that if I screwed up I'd face the consequences. That's only ever meant...

    no brainer kiss nfa trust thoughts

    Kimbershot - what you suggest, that you can read the statutes and therefore should be able to craft a trust according to that, is a nice idea but there is at least one issue with that. The issue is that a very great amount of what makes a trust valid (or invalid) is not what is in the statute...

    I designed a gun that never runs out of bullets...

    There is some good advice in this thread; not all, but some. With respect to a couple of your comments: If your concept is sufficiently new and you've captured that well enough in your PPA, then manufacturing changes or other design tweaks should not be outside the scope of a patent issued...
