A term I used to hear “cheek mirage.”

Note that the G17L does not have a competition home other than GSSF Competition. It does not fit the IDPA Box and is not on the USPSA Production approval list.

It has been long enough that prices paid are not relevant, but my first real trap gun was - still is - a Remington 1100TA. I also still have the Broadway I traded a seldom shot Superposed 20 for. It was well used and after a few seasons of doubles, I sent it to Arnold MO to be tightened up. A...

All I can contribute is that 3.2 gr W231 is in the low 700s with HBWC. I think you are really lobbing those BBWC from magnum brass.

30 inch. Iron sights? A smidgen more velocity? There is an additional charge for lengths longer than 26". Which is why I have a 28" Kreiger. They charge extra for 30".

So if yours are trouble free, what are the irons backing up? One friend has gone all optic, no iron sights on his pistols.

Old time hunters would stay in the woods a good while and live off the land. Small game loads for your big game rifle were a regular subject of the hunting and fishing magazines. Col. Townsend Whelen was a strong proponent. He used jacketed bullets so as to not have to deal with lead on...

Pardon me for protruding, but my only dot is on a .22. What are the factory or other iron sights for? Are you using them to "find" the dot? Are batteries running down a common fault? Or sights falling off? By many reports the screws are pretty cheesy.

If you like the gun, fine, but they are just recycling model names and you will not be getting the same specs.

Even Winchester had trouble making a 94 in .44 Magnum.

I had two tries at ”custom molded on the range” plugs. Neither was comfortable or quiet.

I have a Prochrono similar to armoredman's. It is an early model with wired remote control, which did not hold up even after factory repair. My FLG/ham radio operator said the connections were just cheap and nasty. It worked ok as a walk-down unit, if the range was unattended and I did not...

As said, you will have to push cartridges past the Charter spring loaded rimless extractors. How well does this work with a speed loader? Who will be hastily reloading a hideout gun like that? English and Continental gunmakers will sell you a double express rifle with that type of extractor...

Since I have the Garmin, the Labradar LX will just be something interesting to read about, but it will be a competitor in the market for those who haven't bought yet..

I have a Garmin and it does what I want done. But if I were just now shopping, I would wait until I saw what the LX was like.
