Learning the hard way - Break apart carbines

[PO2Hammer]

PO2, respectfully have to disagree, never noticed anything strange with the PC9's recoil, and the bolt weight in the forend makes good use of space. And the gun is hell for stout; it should tolerate a buttstroke that would break other types, and even has a bolt lock that keeps the bolt from bouncing open.
It's typical Bill Ruger stuff; overengineered.

It was very stout, very reliable. The mag release was better.
And I could live without the takedown feature, prefer a folder.
Really had wood for the Cz Scorpion, but the prices for that have gone wild.
Still very satisfied with the new Ruger.
The accuracy is outstanding and it’s nice being able to use Glock mags, and the price was right. (come on down)

Have a Scorp, didn't realize they had gone crazy expensive. The 16" with a folding stock makes a lot of sense. Mine has run like a (often dirty) clock, on my handloads and Blazer Brass. The only issue has been the feed lips on the early, amber mags; feed lip cracks that CZ won't warranty.
Yeah, standardizing on magazine makes all the sense in the world; with the ever present threat of another mag ban.

Just me- I was taught to only adjust
a telescopic sight in one direction
at a time, usually the elevation for
me. If there's a problem, and you're
moving windage and elevation both,
you'll have a harder time figuring out
which one is the problem child.
I'm a set-it-and-forget-it shooter,
so that may not be relevant for the
twisty-this-way-and-that-way folks

Ranger, I sometimes violate that rule, but I always check results. And I always give the optic a couple light taps with the screwdriver butt after an adjustment.
