I don't have a traditional hunting rifle at this time. I've had traditional hunting rifles in the past, all bolt-actions which have been just ok. But there's just some things I don't like about bolt actions I'll discuss later. I would like it in a large enough caliber to use on moose or elk and...

I returned from A'stan in March and was blessed with a job offer from a company in WA. I was just curious as to the differences in the "gun culture" between the two states. I have a CCW in TN, I imagine it is not transferrable. TN has some good hunting, but I hear its even better in WA.

They say the first step on the road to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Just when you think you have things figured out, when you think you have your bases covered, you see or hear something that throws everything out of whack and you end up starting over from scratch. Well my...

Well, this rifle has certainly piqued my interest. It apparently takes standard AK magazines. Seems expensive for what it is though and upper and lower are both proprietary. Hmmm, all the problems with 7.62x39 on standard AR lowers appear to be addressed here, this thing is built from the...

I recommended a 6.8 caliber Mini-14 to a friend who was looking hard at a Mini-14. He said he couldn't find the Mini-14 in 6.8, when I went to their website I couldn't find the Ruger Mini-14 in 6.8spc either. They offer an upper for their SR-556 in 6.8spc. Just wondering.

I don't just like the .308win, I love it. I also like the reliability of military rifles chambered in that round. What I have discovered about the .308 is that to get the most out of the cartridge the rifle should be scoped. The .308 is capable of reaching out there and magnification helps...

I stumbled upon Leupold's new line of VX-6 rifle scopes here http://www.opticsplanet.net/leupold-vx-6-riflescopes.html It isn't listed on Leupolds web site yet, but I think I need the 1-6x24mm illuminated German #4 scope :cool:

Just wondering if any of you have gone to 20-round AK magazines, either exclusively or for certain circumstances. I bought several Hungarian 20-round magazines and fully intend to use them exclusively with my AK and lose the 30-rounders. They are shorter and lighter than the typical...

I'm just curious to see what THAT gun is for most of you. I mean the one that you just shoot so well, the one that just feels good, points good, the one you don't have to try to be good with, you just are. The one that always makes you look good in front of people when you shoot it, the one that...

I've been wondering what would be the better option for my RRA LAR-8. I've been looking pretty hard at Leupolds new line of VX-R scopes, they're illuminated dot and the model I've been considering is the 4-12X50 with 30mm tubes, they're running about $650 on SWFA. The other option, which I...

I've been looking at carbines in .45acp and got to wondering at what point does barrel length start to inhibit the velocity of the .45acp cartridge. I think the Tommy gun barrel length was 10.5" (?), was that the optimal length before barrel friction started to slow it down? The H&K UMP .45acp...

I had been thinking about a pistol calibered carbine again lately and saw how few and far between they are anymore. If Marlin were to offer their Camp 45 again I'd order one right now. Then I got to thinking of how neat it'd be if they could just use their model 60 and "upgrade" it to shoot the...

I find it hard to believe there isn't enough of a market out there for a reputable gun manufacturer to not make a 5-shot 3, 4 or 5" bbl revolver in .45acp. I know Taurus had one out for a short while the 455(?). I don't believe I've ever seen one like that from S&W though or any other "quality"...

I bought a RRA LAR-6 a while back and ordered it with the 6-position collapsable stock and thought it looked cool and all and it was functional. I actually set it for the position that fit me the best and leave it there. There is a little wobble to it. Then I bought a LAR-8 with the fixed stock...

Alright, here's the deal, you have moments to get out of your house because of some impending disaster, the power is out and there's no water pressure in your house, you've already heard reports of looting and roaming gangs in nearby neighborhoods. You have these three rifles to choose from, a...

I finally broke down and bought an Aimpoint Micro H-1 micro-dot for the SLR-95 to replace the larger CompC3 I had mounted on the Ultimak rail. This a neat little red dot sight, if it's as durable as the regular sized red dots it's going to be very hard to beat and well worth the money. This has...

Well, it's tax refund time and a new rifle is in order. As I thought I knew what I wanted, when it comes down to laying the cash down on the table, reality sets in and the alternatives you've disregarded get renewed interest. I had thought I had my mind made up on an M1A Scout Squad as I already...

For some reason I want yet another rifle. I have a scoped M1A rifle, I consider it my long range field gun. I have an SLR-95 with red dot, I consider it my short range shtf gun. I have an M1 Garand which I consider my eotwawki living in caves gun. I have the trusty 870 shotty for my short range...

Alright here's another "which one" thread. I've pretty much had my heart set on a Robarms XCR in 6.8spc for awhile now, but as I took my scoped M1A out of the safe tonight to re-acquaint myself with it again, I had an "epiphany". My reasons for even considering another rifle is to fill the...

I've done a search on C-More sights but haven't found much information here or on the internet. Does anyone have any experience with these red dot sights? I've seen them on the FN P90's before and they look compact and durable and apparently come in various dot sizes. So if anyone has any info...
