    personal preferance on trigger squeeze

    My personal preference has evolved from 4 decades of 'Target' shooting (and plenty of hunting). I WILL NOT use a 'Hair Trigger' on anything. I went that route when I was younger on advice from the 'Professionals'. Spent a fortune in trigger jobs that ruined parts and made my firearms unsafe to...

    Orientation of Butler Creek (or similar) lens caps on scopes ... I don't get it!

    I was hoping the 'Internet Experts' could answer a few of these since several claim to have Special Forces training and work with Special Forces and military Operators every day... Think I'll hold out for a while, just to see if anyone really has the credentials they claim, or it's all...

    What is the hardest common rifle caliber to get a hold of right now?

    Around here (Southern Central Indiana), American made .223 is a Myth, and 'Import'. .223 is scarce and EXPENSIVE! 7.62x39mm is around, but it's 'Import' and it's EXPENSIVE... American made .308 is not quite as scarce as .223 is, but you can't find common producers, it's all 'Black Hills' or...

    Best 7.62x39? SKS vs. AK other options in 7.62.39?

    RUGER MINI 30 is probably the most reliable of the 'Alternatives', And I have an AR-15 that uses AK mags/drums and fires 7.62x39mm... Does that count?

    Another arms ban

    Looks like someone is trying to feed the frenzy for guns/ammo that is going on... Now that it's starting to let up, someone has to scream 'THE SKY IS FALLING!

    7.62x39mm for $275/1000 rds....

    Still can't buy a box of .223 or .308/.30-06 at Wal-Mart yet! Since all the companies have cranked up production to '11', I wonder what QUALITY some of this ammo is going to be? US makers have the double whammy of trying to produce for the US Military AND satisfy the 'Idiot Market' buying...

    why are Swarovski Riflescopes so expensive?

    Schmidt & Bender is a fine optic, no argument there. The government also is buying up all the Leupold 'Tactical' optics it can get it's hands on, And all the NightForce optics it can get it's hands on... (I listen to the guys crank about supply at the guns shows a lot...) See, we have a...

    Full-auto blackmarket?

    I was injured on the 'Job' (Military) and got sent to Ft. Knox so I could be close to the Medical Specialist that worked in Louisville, Ky. Part of the 'Work Therapy' was spending two days a week working for the Patton Museum... I couldn't figure out why an EOD/Armorer would be needed at a...

    why are Swarovski Riflescopes so expensive?

    OK, you are taking that wrong... Taken out of context. The point I was making is all of the better optics makers can produce optics that outstrip the capabilities of the human eye... As my eyes get older, and progressively worse for fine shooting, The more I rely on optics for my...

    If you had to choose one caliber to hunt all North American game which do you choose?

    .223, if you get close enough, have full auto, and have a 100 round drum with a 40mm grenade launcher under the barrel! ;)

    Orientation of Butler Creek (or similar) lens caps on scopes ... I don't get it!

    EDIT... Just for arguments sake, I punched in Unertl Scope into Google and came up with this site first thing... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M40_rifle Is that 'Source' enough for you or am I still an 'Idiot'?... --------------------------------------------------- Want sources, ask...

    Didn't say he wasn't making the 'Best' of what he has, Said he has the WRONG hardware for that particular set up... If it's an active duty troop that is knocking down badguys, MORE POWER TO HIM IF HE'S USING A SLING SHOT & DIRTY BABY DIAPERS! If it's one of those Private contractors that...

    Orientation of Butler Creek (or similar) lens caps on scopes ... I don't get it!

    Snipers don't. The Accurized and optics equipped M-14 is called an M-21. M-21 isn't the most ACCURATE 'Sniper' rifle, But is is capable of rapid semi-auto fire and can accept large capacity magazines (something a 'Sniper' has no need for and just gets in the way). This would be an M-21...

    Orientation of Butler Creek (or similar) lens caps on scopes ... I don't get it!

    PSYOPSPEC... So just HOW do you keep the caps at '12:00' with the older Unertl & Lyman scopes that had range/parallax adjustment on the objective bell? Do you adjust the the caps before or after you twist on the objective bell for parallax adjustment? How do you orient those caps when you...

    Orientation of Butler Creek (or similar) lens caps on scopes ... I don't get it!

    Only an IDIOT would do that in a combat zone! An actual SNIPER/counter sniper wouldn't do that... You are just as dead if someone BEHIND you sees your 'Smily Face' when it flips up as you would be if the guy in front of you see your smiley face when it moves and flashes... The picture you...

    Orientation of Butler Creek (or similar) lens caps on scopes ... I don't get it!

    Maybe it's the 19 years I've been out of the military... Or the differences between "Then" equipment and "Now" equipment... BUT! Until you have laid on the ground for 18 hours staring through a spotting or rifle scope, you REALLY can't appreciate being able to have BOTH eyes open...

    So I messed with a SCAR today.....

    I didn't see the big deal when we fired them at the SHOT show either. The guys were going on and on about how GREAT they were, but I just didn't get it... No more accurate than an AR or any other 5.56 service rifle, and they had some ODD ways of doing things I didn't see why...

    All-Around .308 Round

    Horniday is accurate, but don't expect it to bring game down! I shot clean through coyote without bullet expanding. I shot whitetail and the bullet didn't expand enough to tear things up, if the deer hadn't lost both lungs and heart to a .30 caliber hole, it wouldn't have when down and then...

    Is the A2 Ar-15 obsolete?

    WOW! Lots of guys reading too many magazines! The primary change to the 'A-2' was for the 3 shot burst so barrel overheating wasn't a problem like it was on the A-1. Barrel overheating and ammo wasting is a problem to this day, but the 3 shot trigger is going the way of the Edsel...
