    Several break ins just blocks from my house...

    What should I do? We have an alarm system and were using it now. Locking doors and windows. Guns are in a safe locked, ammo locked seperately from firearms so using them isnt an option for home defence. Suggestions? Thanks

    Stupid question about Milliradian dots

    On the Super Sniper scopes, The 16x scope. What happens with the mil dots? The reticle is cut differently for the different magnification. So they have a different reticle for the 10x, the 16x and the 20x right? If not this equation Target size in yards X 1,000 Divided by # of mil dots needed...

    Wait....aren't bi-pods bad then?

    Ive always heard you aren't supposed to shoot of a solid surface because the rifle will vibrate away from the hard surface, leading to a mispaced shot.

    Whats so good about savage rifles?

    Ive read up on them, and I cant seem to find WHY a savage is so accurate. I understand how the triggerworks and all that jazz, but how does this "dual pillar bedding" work, and how does the bolt work in terms of accuracy. Why is savage so much cheaper, yet able to produce accurate groups out of...

    diff in .308/7.62x51 and .223/5.56x45

    wiki states and I assume the same is correct for .223 remington/5.56x45NATO Sooo..... Im assuming that every aspect of the .223 remington/5.56x45NATO are the same except for the casing thicknedd. Does the 5.56 have thicker walls due to the higher loading pressure the Military requires? Im also...
