    Optics for general purpose carbine

    So. After hours and hours of reading reviews, YouTube, and responses here, I ordered a Holosun 510c Green. From Holosun: "The HS510C is an open reflex optical sight designed for rifle and carbine applications. Features include Holosun’s Super LED with up to 50k hours battery life, Multi-Reticle...

    Optics for general purpose carbine

    I agree with you. I am just very ignorant about dot scopes. The concept makes sense to me, I don't know which of the three types will work better for me, and I wouldn't mind getting it right without buying 5 dot sights figuring it out.

    Optics for general purpose carbine

    I have a 590 close at hand while in bed. My first choice for 50 feet and under encounters. This carbine I'm putting together is for when I feel I need to venture outside. I have 4.5 acres. Police / Sheriff's dept. pick and choose what property crimes they respond to, and local courts have...

    Optics for general purpose carbine

    I have a 189 series Mini 30. Gun is heading to the gunsmith for trigger tuning, upgraded springs, and barrel strut. I live on the edge of civilization, pavement and streetlights, but a quarter mile from nearest neighbors. I have a good mix of firearms, but since I was burglarized a year ago, I...

    Thoughts on picking my first gun.

    My approach would be a little different from the OP's, and echos some of what has been suggested. A .22 Rimfire, suitable for Appleseed participation. Appleseed will teach you to shoot. Once you have that skill and exposure to other shooters, rifle selection will come to you intuitively.

    Need scope recommendation

    Technology isn't all that advanced over the past 35 years. Prices followed suit. Finding optics that reliably withstand recoil in the $100.00 purchase range will be challenging. It isn't uncommon to have more invested in a scope than you do in the rifle. The redeeming part is that scopes are...

    Moving to Herndon/DC area. CCW info please!

    Jolly Rogers All it takes is an unscheduled car wreck on the beltway to find yourself on a detour taking you into places that could have you facing felony charges. More than one person has crossed Chain Bridge not aware that no mans land lie on the other side.

    Calling All Snubs!

    Damn. Do you have a list of topics that are acceptable? BTW. Is seeking out newcomers and crapping in their threads a Frat House kind of thing, or do you do this just for your own amusement?

    Bad gun deal!!

    Mnrivrat seems to me to have the best suggestion. Patience and persistence may pay off or may not. You can continue trying to assign blame, or focus on finding some resolve. Please keep us informed if you pursue some resolve. If a claim was paid by an insurance company, the firearm would be the...

I will try to find more info when I get home. I used to have a mental illness that manifested itself in the...
