    AR Optics-What is yours and why?

    Vortex strikefire on my ar. It works great and serves the purpose for range and shooting at the farm. I wanted good quality and good value.

    Assault wep bans and spare parts in the future?

    So say they pass a ban on assault weapons. Down the road if I need a new bolt or a barrel etc would it still be illegal to obtain those parts? I'm hoping it doesn't come to that but I was planning on building my brother a AR for college graduation so couldn't decide if I should order some...

    1911 newb, need advice

    I've owned a taurus and Smith and Wesson 1911. Both were good shooting guns but the Smith was a major step above in quality and a absolute tack driver. Whatever you do get the one you want the first time around. I learned that lesson the hard way. I paid less then 1k for both of them and...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Has she shot a 1911 in both 9mm and 45? I won both and my fiance hates the 9mm but loves the 45.....go figure. That said the only 9mm 1911 I've had experience with is the taurus and that's not what you want for ccw down the road.

    I need a 1911 to compete with a friend's Springer trophy match..

    The Taurus really can shoot but like mentioned earlier its hit or miss and if its a miss you get to send it back to brazil. My Taurus shot low for about 400-500 rounds and once it was broken in it was a good shooter. Nothing like my SW1911 but def a good shooter. Match grade barrel and...

    1911 bug got me again

    hah yeah, my phone doesn't have macro mode but I figured I'd put it up anyway since it wasn't blocking the gun. On another note I took it shooting at the range today and she wanted to shoot it (she has a SR9c). She fell in love with it and told me she would gladly accept the gun as a wedding...

    What is considered "good groupings" for handguns?

    practice practice practice. The more you shoot the better. Your most likely jerking because your prob anticipating the recoil. As for the shakes I just try and breath evenly. When I was first getting into handguns my biggest prob was anticipating the recoil (I started with a 357 mag)...

    I need a 1911 to compete with a friend's Springer trophy match..

    I just picked up a older smith 108284 unfired for under 1k and at 15 yards it was dead on. Trigger is fantastic and slide to frame fit it nice and tight. Only issue I can find is the safety issue that others have mentioned with SW 1911's that its slightly mushy and not a positive click. From...

    1911 bug got me again

    Got to shoot it yesterday. It's now the best shooting gun I own. Trigger is smooth at just under 4lbs. I'm so pleased with it. I started out at 15 yards and it's dead on. Test fire date was 4/19/2007 in Springfield Ma.

    Best of the Low End 1911's and Why?

    I have Taurus 1911 in 9mm as well and while they get a bad wrap sometimes my trigger pull is as you describe and the gun is more accurate then I am.

    .30-06 search

    Looked at the Tikka? I was searching for a 30-06 a few months back and finally settled on a tikka t3 lite stainless with a synthetic stock. The gun has a crisp trigger and very smooth bolt and very accurate. It's also light and since its stainless I'm not worried about it when hunting in...
