    What .308 BA would you buy if you had a $2000 budget for gun and optic?

    Threaded barrel for suppressor use. Weight not more than 8 pounds before scope. 22 barrel or less. Stock can be either or. Probably synthetic since I want to shoot for fun as well, although I’m not married to synthetic only. 1/10 twist rate to reload numerous bullets. Ha. Not specific at all.

    What .308 BA would you buy if you had a $2000 budget for gun and optic?

    I owned a Bergara .223 barrel years ago for a Thompson Center that I had but I really know nothing about the brand other than they are, what, Spanish manufacturing? Not that I'm against that. The only .308 I ever owned was a SPS Tactical years ago but I like variety so I will check out the...

    What .308 BA would you buy if you had a $2000 budget for gun and optic?

    Looking to possibly spend up to $2000 on a .308 BA rifle with optic. I am looking for a hunting rifle that's accurate and fun to shoot off the bench. I hand load and already have the dies and some .308 brass. Owned .308s in the past and already own .223, 6.5 Creed, 30-30, and .264 Win Mag...

    Question for Beretta Bobcat 21A 22LR owners.

    Just picked up a Beretta 21A Bobcat. So far I have only tried two types of amm0, CCI quiet and Stingers. The stingers worked good, only one stovetop out of 30 so far, and the quiet wouldn't eject at all, including with a suppressor that should have aided ejection but nope. At any rate, what...

    SW 586 accuracy with 38 special

    I might take this advice. Most, but not all, of my 38s have been factory while all of my 357 are hand loads. I have plenty of TG Powder, assuming you mean Titegroup.

    SW 586 accuracy with 38 special

    I noticed that my 6" 586 loves 357 Mag, especially hot hand loads, but does not seem to like 38 Special. The accuracy with 158 and 124 is superb, 2 inch from 25 yards and 4 inch at 40--thats great for me, but it can't hit the broadside of a barn with any 38 Special. I'm ok with this since I...

    A S&W as an investment?

    The only firearms that can really qualify as "investments" are transferable MGs. Those have risen considerably over the past 40 years, all well over 200 %, but if you want to play in the pre 86 MG world you are looking at $8500 plus to get started with baseline Reisings, Sten Tubes or MACs...

    586 gas in the face

    Ok so I think it is the Caldwell rest. Must be deflecting off the padding. Didn't notice any blowback when standing.

    586 gas in the face

    It very well may be. I will not be able to get to the range until Monday, but I will check it out.

    586 gas in the face

    No. Dead center, to the naked eye.
