    New Car / Small Trunk

    I've been thinking about buying a new car, something on the sportier side. The one question I have is this --> [Note: I live in New Jersey] What if the trunk of the car is too small to carry a rifle case? Can I then put the rifle in the back seat assuming it was locked in a hardside...

    Sig Sauer Top Rail via Bottom Rail

    I've been looking for a way to try out some red dot type sights on my Sig P226 for a while now, and while I liked the Leupold Deltapoint, I did not want to have to push out my night sights to install it. I also wondered about the longevity of the zero of something that was going to be 'shocked'...

    Leupold Delta Point

    http://www.leupold.com/tactical/products/scopes/deltapoint-reflex-sights/deltapoint-reflex-sight/ So, I'm intrigued by this... with one of the '10' provided mounting plates, does that mean I'd have to pop out my existing rear sight on my Sig P226 or my 1911 to be able to mount this thing...

    Do you prefer Swiveling or Non-Swiveling Bipods on you rifle?

    Subject says it all. My first bi-pod was a swiveler (an OEM branded 'pod to go with my Walther G22), but my issue with it is that it has no tension whatsoever, so it feels like the rifle just bobbles around and I have to expend effort just to keep the rifle level. My next bi-pod was a Harris...

    Sunshades on a scope -- leave 'em on or off?

    So, I got my first fancy schmancy scope (as opposed to a plain jane scope) and it came with a substantial length sunshade (~4"-5"). Is there any reason TO leave it on the scope, all the time? Any reason NOT to do so? Does it lower performance of the scope in any way or is it just a nuisance...

    Help on understanding RING heights.

    So, I plan to buy a fancy schmancy scope to be used on my AR-15 platform rifles. Assuming I am mounting this scope on an utterly flat rail, how do I go about figuring the lowest ring height I will need? I never see any mention of actual SIZE other than interior diameter. Are...

    Bored... wondering what to buy or upgrade next.

    Title says it all... For some background, I already have: Sig226 in 9mm, 1911, LWRC M6A3 in 6.8 (i.e. piston AR), S&W 500 (scoped), Benelli SuperSport 12ga, Walther G22, Browning Buckmark 22LR (with mini red dot). I can't decide if my next purchase should be: (1) Bolt action rifle & scope...

    CCW & School "Zones"

    Question for those that carry frequently: Do you do anything special when you approach a school? (on foot or passing by in a car) Is there not commonly a law just about everywhere related to concealed carry within XX feet of a school? For example, I believe I've often read about 1000 feet as...

    Sight options for a 1911 with no rails...

    So, having very much enjoyed (1) a scope on my S&W500 and (2) a mini-red dot on my Browning Buckmark 22LR, I find myself less enthused when shooting my Kimber 1911-style 45 (5" barrel) with its plain ole' irons (well, actually, it has a 3 dot tritium night sight setup). I do have crimson trace...

    Is the scope a problem or my eyesight?

    So, on my little 22LR rifle (Walther G22), I have a simple, Walther-branded 3x-9x scope that came with it in a package deal. My question is as follows... when I zoom in to about 7x, the reticle in its entirety seems almost doubled... is this a result of it being a likely cheap-o scope or is...

    New Jersey -- what is 'registered'?

    I'm a bit confused about the rules here in NJ and what guns (if any) are effectively registered with the state. Assume I acquired my FPID in NJ as a Jersey resident. I then go and buy several new long guns, from a store in NJ. I know when I buy them, I fill out a form and they run a NICs...

    King, NC declares state of emergency due to weather -- restricts gun rights

    Story link: King, NC declares state of emergency due to weather -- restricts gun rights Relevant item: And this is done in the name of safety for the citizenry. While it is not shocking to me that gun & ammo sales get restricted during declared states of emergency (not that I agree with that...

    NYPD releasing names of permit requestees???

    I came across this WSJ BLOG STORY and was struck by the comment below: **edit: note that they seem to be continually 'correcting' this story, as is mentioned now above the first paragraph in the story -- very shadey** Exactly when can they name names? I found this disturbing that it...

    Savage // Stevens 512 Gold Wing 20ga

    A relative of mine is interested in a 20ga O/U shotgun. He's looking for opinions on the Savage distributed Stevens 512 Gold Wing. I don't know enough to help him on that, but figured someone on here may have a feel for it. He has a 12ga Benelli Black Eagle already that he hunts birds with...

    Looking for a mini Red Dot for my 22LR

    So, as the title suggests, I'm looking for a mini Red Dot for my Browning Buckmark 22LR. Now, it already has a rail across the full length of the top of the frame (& barrel), but I noticed that the grooves aren't as deep as they are on either my S&W 500 or my AR-15 style rifle. Both of the...

    My brass, sold to a reloader, a legal risk?

    Perhaps this is in the very unlikely category, but it's a question that's been nagging me... I shoot 200-400 rounds every time I go to my local indoor range. I do not collect the brass, but the range does. They sell it to reloaders. My question is this: to what extent do my fingerprints...
