    3/8 dovetail scope mounts

    So I am trying to put a scope on my Mossberg 702 plinkster (semi auto 22) I have bought, and had to return about 2 different mounts now because they don't fit properly. Are 3/8" dovetail mounts really that rare?

    Selecting a holster (FNX)

    First let me say thank you for the great response that my "fullsize 9mm" poll got. I ended up with some fantastic information and insight on both the 92 fs and the cz 75.

    XD vs FNX

    So I had been wanting a hand gun (9mm) so bad that it hurt. A good trade came along and I got my hands on an XD (not the M) .45. I like the gun, feels decent in my hand but about the only gun I have to compare it to is the 92fs (which I loved) I have been to the range with it a few times and...

    .17 hm2

    I have been doing a bit of research on this round recently and it looks great on paper, but seems like few are using it.

    Why the long barrel

    I was reading a thread the other day about the Condor outback and its 20" barrels. Someone had said that it is not the length of the barrel that determines the spread it is all the choke.
