    CZ P-07/09 compared to the CZ 75

    So i've held a 75 and dry fired one. Never actually fired one but it was one of the most comfortable handguns i've ever held next to a high power. Usually i hate DA/SA pulls. Our SW 6906 as well as the SIGs i've held and fired i can't stand. It's not the double action that's the problem. It's...

    CZ 75 grip vs BHP Grip.

    So i have yet to hold a full size CZ 75. I did hold a compact version which fit my medium sized hands very very well, though it was a little undersized. Also held a full size BHP and it might be the most comfortable handgun i've held to date. More so than a 1911 or an M&P of which i both love...

    First Impressions of my Leupy MK6.

    Since we don't really have an optics section and this is going on a bolt rifle i figured i'd share my initial impression of this scope. Picked up a Mark 6 3-18x44mm at a phenomenal price that i couldn't resist. It's Mil/Mil, locking turrets, zero stop, 34mm main tube, has a TMR reticle, and...

    Truing an action with a factory barrel, not worth it?

    Currently my setup is my 700 5R bedded in a MCM A5, with APA RTG, and bolt knob. With my handloads it really is a great shooter. That said this is my main rifle and i want to rebarrel to 6.5 CM. I also want a shorty .308, as a semi truck gun and dedicated medium range hunting rig. So i picked up...

    Effect of loads that are too hot?

    Here's the load 45.5gr Varget Nosler Brass Hornady 178Gr BTHP Fed 210m Primers COL 2.860 So when i grouped these in low temps the best group i got was 45.5, which i accidently loaded from the get go (max is 45.2gr). That said i saw no pressure signs at the time or maybe i wrote down 45.5 when...

    Old Man Still has it.

    Well i've been hunting hard for about three weeks for a 140ish class 8-point at one of our spots. He goes out the first time since his heart cath (no blockage whatsoever :)) 15 minutes before dark and bags this. Now honestly i might have passed him up, let him grow some. Though he is a nice size...

    Anyone use Shims for Ops Inc Brake & Collar

    Was installing the brake and it stops on the crush washer with a full rotation and a fourth of a turn left. Ops Inc's max specs are no more than 450 degrees torque (i assume that would be approaching) but recommends 90 degrees (1/4th a turn). Problem is with the crush washer it lines up like...

    Hunting mature whitetail.

    So I've deer hunted all my life but not as serious as this. I've killed small decent bucks plenty of does. For the first time I want a high class deer so to speak a nice 140ish mature buck. I've been hunting one of our secluded bean fields that butts up to 8000 acres of CRP. We have three bucks...

    Berger VLD hunting performance?

    How's everyone's performance with these? Were shooting 105gr hunting VLDs @ 2700fps out of our youth model .243. Dad and I both have shot two does in the past couple of days. Found the one i shot the night i shot it and his that he shot the day before the same night. His was shot at 300yds mine...

    Got the rifle back from APA.

    IMR 4350 temperature sensitivity?

    Running 105gr Hunting VLDs over 40gr of IMR 4350 in our youth model 18.5" .243 @ 2700fps. Makes a hell of a 600yd hunting rig ;). Anyhow just got around to loading again, we initially zeroed in 50F weather, at the end of last winter. Shot in 80F and my initial shot at 100yds was spot on, but a...

    Shipping my rifle off for the first time, finding a box?

    This was supposed to be done two weeks ago but i left it at home (school started) and my parents couldn't get a big enough box to fit my storm case, and there wasn't a UPS location around home that we could send it through. So i brought it back to starkville with me, being there is a UPS...

    Friend is asking me advice about a 1911 he won a bid on. Thoughts?

    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=302266529 Everything seems ok assuming a competent smith worked on it. The slide fast fire system would shy me away from it, i'm not wild about it. IDK, price isn't bad for a loaded model, with a little work done to it. here's the...

    GAP 10 Most Accurate AR 10 type rifle? Maybe so. (1/2 MOA @ 1000yds)

    Just saw that Tyler posted this. Its by far the most accurate 7.62 AR i've seen. Gotta get one. Though Tyler is an excellent shot and it's almost always the indian over the arrow, it's extremely impressive to see it do that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxGmusWYATE&feature=g-u-u

    CZ 75 owners how do you like yours?

    Just curious about the 75s, i have a friend that runs one in production uspsa. I've never handled one but read/heard the grip is like that of a 1911, in that it is just a very good feeling gun. Also how's the double/single action trigger pull? I have one handgun that's Double/single (SW 6906)...

    Good belt and mag pouches for USPSA

    Started shooting three weeks ago, with my M&P 40 and got a fobus mag pouch to hold me over but, the mags aren't spaced properly enough to get a full grip on them. My index finger only grips the vertical length of the mag about halfway. This causes the top end to not be as steady and it causes me...
