    Savage 11 Lady Hunter

    I was thinking about picking one of these up in .308 for my 4'10" 98lb girlfriend. She absolutely loves hunting, kind of bloodthirsty actually haha, but my M1A is a little too big and heavy for her, length of pull and front end weight mostly. She just can't get comfortable with it without a rest...

    .45 ACP max muzzle energy?

    Saw another post and I was curious, what .45 ACP loads deliver the most ft-lbs at the muzzle of a 5" bbl? Most for FMJ? For JHP/Vmax/Other defensive rounds? Thanks, y'all have a good one, Merry Christmas!

    Anti Gun Hipocrisy

    Chicago gun grabber who has supported anti concealed carry measures and "assault weapons" bans is caught attempting to carry a .25 ACP Beretta through O'Hare security. Guess gun control to seems really nice to some folks when they're the only ones allowed to have them...

    Mossy 590, longer replacement barrel?

    I bought a 20" 590A1 with the ghost rings last year, looking to do some turkey/dove/quail/duck hunting and I am too cheap to buy a totally new shotgun. Is there a longer barrel out there for it that I can swap out? Will it take 500 barrels?

    Federal 165gr Trophy Bonded .308

    Picked up a box at Bass Pro cause the boolets looked purdy :D... Anyone used it? Last year I ran Hornady Superformance 165gr SST, I killed a big GA 11 point but he ran about 40 yds before he dropped. I am gonna be using it this weekend and I'm just curious if it's all looks or if it actually...

    Cheap EOTech Magnifiers

    I've noticed that there are some manufacturerers of cheap holo sight magnifiers. I'm a firm believer in getting what you pay for but at the same time, I want a magnifier and I can't afford to drop $400 on one. Anyone know the drawbacks to the cheap ones?

    ACR Basic Resale Value

    Bought one a year ago and I've decided it really doesn't tickle my pickle, it doesn't really do anything that my AK and M1A don't do separately. It's got a few minor dings and some brass marks near the ejection port. It has about 500rds through it. What could I reasonably expect to get for it on...

    M1A EBR build

    Hey all, my first post in quite some time. I am looking into modernizing my M1A and I've almost got it all figured out... But not quite. After thoroughly researching all my options I've decided to go with a VLTOR stock. Everything else was either too heavy (McMillan, JAE, Sage) complicated...

    Best 3 point AR/M16 sling

    The one I was issued was a POS, I need something that would be comfortable, able to be set up for a left handed shooter, and good with armor on; money is no object, suggestions? Not limited to 3 points but one points are a no go, I'm too short to have a full size M16 with a 1-point. I bought...

    M249 SAW: Your Experiences

    Looking for anyone, civilian or military, who has had some time behind the weapon. Feel free to share your experiences. I'll go first, So far I've put about 600 rounds through it, 500 being at last month's drill in Ft. Knox. The SAW next to me was finicky the whole day, heard a lot of "GUN...

    6-o-clock Carry, input?

    I've just recently started carrying and because of poor concealment offered by the shoddy holster (and my normal daily attire) I had just laying around I started off carrying at the 6:00 position with the grip pointing to my right. This because it offered the best concealment I could find...

    Best IWB belt/holster

    Just turned 21 Saturday so I plan to start carrying my PT1911 with a rail (no opinions on Taurus please). I need a holster that will conceal it, preferably in hot or cold weather. I am about 5'7" and 150lbs. I really liked the Crossbreed Supertuck but on the drop down menu it lists "1911 WITH...

    Tips for hogs (NW GA)

    This will be my first season hunting hog, or really anything for that matter. For now the only places I have to go are WMA's. I plan on using my M1A with 150gr Federal Powershok and/or 150gr Hornady SST. Hopefully my buddy who hunts deer but has never hunted hog will be able to go with me...

    New M1A Scout + pics. Tips? Suggestions?

    Not crazy about the looks of the stainless CMI mag, I'm getting a regular parkerized/matte/whatever one in the future. Proably a CMI but I may go out on a limb and try a T57. Who makes the best 5 round mag? I've heard they can be a pain to pry out but I want to hunt with this rifle this season...

    SAR2 and Mojo Sight issues

    I've had a Mojo peep sight on my AK (5.45x39) for a while now and at first I sighted it in at 25yds with 70gr Wolf, no problems. About 2 years later (now) I tried to re zero for 52gr CommieSurp this at 50yds and ran into a problem. Windage was spot on, but no matter what I did with the sight's...

    Herter's .308

    Anybody used this stuff? I'm pondering buying 1k rounds from Cabela's online for the M1A I just put on layaway but I'm not sure how well it would function. Anyone have experience with steel cased ammo in M1As?

    Point me in the right direction

    I don't really know a whole lot about competitive shooting but I want to get a little more dynamic with shooting as a hobby. I've had a little (minimal) CQB training with the Marine Corps (Shooting Tables 2, 3, and 4 plus MOUT) in the last 3 months or so and I figure I can use that as a good...

    I.D. This BPS?

    My grandfather has this 10 ga BPS, most of which I know are meant to be turkey and duck guns. This one seems to have been designed more like a defense type model. Barrel length is around 18" and it came stock with ghost ring sights. This gun is a TANK, weighs as much too but recoil is actually...

    Which Middle/High end 1911?

    I kind of regret posting another "What should I get" thread but I'll admit I don't know too much about the differences in any of these guns so I want to know any pros, cons, good or bad experiences, or caveats that yall might have had with them. I've moved away from getting a revolver because...
