I would like you guys to sound off on what is a good/great FAL scope mount. I have an metric pattern FAL, and would like to mount an optic on it. Thanks John L

Guys, I want to know which ones have been decent for you all. I know that I will get top quality from Leica and Swarovski, but I would rather find one that costs @$300. I want to know the pros and cons of the ones that you guys own and if you wished you wouldv'e gone with another brand or...

I got a hold of some 7.62x39 Plastic Core ammo from a friend. I pulled and cut up a bullet. It has a copper + ferrous material jacket ( it sticks to a magnet. ) It weighs 61.6 grains. The core is a hard plastic. The headstamp says "04" and "75" on it. The steel case is a charcoal color...

Thanks, guys. 26" for legal minimum length, and so I am well within the bounds. john l

What is the minimum overall legal length of a rifle? ......would like to cut down a 22 stock for a child shooter and still be within the law. thanks, john l

Zak, My question for you is What are the shotguns that you see most of at the big 3 gun competitions lately- like the past 2 years?? I suppose that there are a lot of Rem 1100s out there, but what is your opinion about the Winchester X2s? I would imagine that the 1100s dominate the "open"...

I shoot my Bulgarian AK in local 3 gun about once or twice a year. I take my AK camping with me and it is a way to stay "in tune" with the gun. I really don't want to take my $1600 AR with all the bling out to the mountains. That said, I think of your original question, why or why not, and...

My wife and I finished shooting a local match yesterday. I go all the time, but she comes out maybe once a year. Last year she missed going, and this year she mentioned wanting to go and off we went. The challenge is finding a babysitter on a Saturday. Her quote, " I LIKE shooting steel"...

Thanks, Zak. Because of your recent review of the MGM, it made me think about prioritizing which match to go to first, as money and time are important considerations. I think that I will plan on prioritizing the RM3 gun at the top of my list for next year, and Superstition Mtn looks like a...

Bill 223, thanks, that is exactly what I wanted to know Helmut, that link didn't work. I'll try again. thanks, john l

Zak, I appreciate your reviews regarding the big 3 gun matches. I would like to go to at least one big one in 2006. I have a few questions for you: Would you write a couple paragraphs on what you thought of 1) the Rocky Mtn 3 gun and give me a link to their website 2)What you thought of...

Antibubba, you are correct, sir. The magic truely ends when a lot of these hotties open their pie hole. john L

Did some accuracy testing last october with my Bully ak. Wolf 122 gr fmj. and Wolf 122 HP seemed to group about the same with a little tighter group with the 122 fmj. ( I shoot 10-shot groups at 100 yards using a front rest and taking all the time I need ) This will be my normal load for...

Spiff You are misguided, my fine friend. Jessica is all that and the proverbial bag of chips. John L

I have a bugarian AK. Over 1600 rounds thru it. Last year I shot a group with Wolf 122 gr HP at 300 yards that was 12" diameter. Surprised me pleasantly that it was that good. Correia: I will bet you $50 that you cannot shoot a 5 inch group at 200 yards. Lee-Kay range anytime. 5-shot...
