IMO it all depends on the role of the rifle . If you are getting a range toy or hunting stick to poke at pasture poodles or shoot a hog in the butt once in a while then the PSA level rifle makes a whole lot of sense and I confess to having a couple . However If you want a rifle for duty or...

I like the loopy a bit better for my ar and the way i use it . I went with the 1.25x4 Hog model as a hunting/defense friendly reticle .

In your letter offer to buy him a cup of coffee or drink or meal and discuss the possibility of hunting his land in person . Include your phone number for him to contact you should he choose . He may or may not call but you extended a friendly hand with the offer of a drink or meal to...

IMO .. If you are not finding guns priced where you want them to be then your idea of " reasonable " might just be skewed a bit . There have always been outlier high prices and low prices in the gun market . However when " everything " is priced to high to suit you then it most likely isn't...

Talking about a bit more money than that for even an entry level one , but were i to " invest " in a firearm today just for the gain in value it would be a NFA item specifically a machinegun . Since they closed the registry in 86 iirc the prices have skyrocketed .

I prefer the term " affordable firearms " Junk just sounds so prejudicial LOL .

Glad it met your expectations .

The last guys on my place from Missouri did a bit over a thousand rounds each in two days shooting . I don't know where in Eastern Colorado your hunting and the dog population is spotty depending on exact area but thats somewhat a benchmark of whats possible . Edited to correct to Eastern CO...

Well Dave I guess we have a bit different opinion of what an average shooter is capable of . Its all good . Gentlemen and form users can occasionally disagree on many subjects LOL

Covelo . Sounds like you have a * real * Sheriff out there .. someone to be cherished by the entire community . And another Congrats on the Sobriety along with best wishes for your new rifle .

Peak Glad i could help . I think it will make a fine little rifle as long as a person remembers it is what it is .. and entry or budget level rifle that may well not be all that refined as far as finish goes .

I have no interest in the Ruger American either , however I can sure see it for the budget limited folks or in a limited use role . The op was in part about the accuracy of the platform and that I could speak to at least from one completely stock sample. The rifle didn't interest me enough to...

A few weeks ago a fella who is writing an article that is to be out this fall brought one to my ranch range . His premise was to make a 1,000 yard rifle for $1,000 . He shot a sub moa group with hornady factory ammo at 1,000 yards . Factory ammo , Stock rifle , in fact had never had a round...

I saw the .17 hornet on dogs for the first time last weekend , It may well be the best all around dog caliber i have seen .

The 17 hmr is a great pdog caliber until the wind gets up or you get out past 300 or so for the average shooter i see . Last weekend a fella brought a .17 hornet out to shoot my dogs ... I was real impressed with it .
