They came out at the time when Marlins were dirt cheap and left the market just before Marlins became a hot commodity. Unfortunate timing. If they would have stuck it out till the remington bankruptcy and maybe made a 45-70 as well they probably would have sold a bunch of them. My opinion on...

I know what you mean, but this made me chuckle.

I'm saying if I pick up a rilfe with no scope on it yet and look, I can generally tell if the comb is high enough or not. If my line of sight is less than an inch above the top of the receiver I'm either going to need a cheek riser or a different stock.

No but I may buy a chevy silverado instead of an f150 if my knees hit the dash with the seat all the way to the rear in the f150.

Sure, but if I get in car A and the seat is so far forward that I know I'll have to drill new holes in the floor and move the seat back, and car B is able to adjust the seat to where I'm comfortable, then that's going to be 1 point for car B. Car A is going to have something else going for it...

I can usually tell just by picking it up and looking down the rifle with no scope on it. If I look down it and my eye is at iron sight height I know right there it’s not going to work for me.

Ruger doesn't seam to like selling parts. I bet they will want the whole rifle back, but they will pay for shipping.

Being well versed in both will make you a better all around marksman. I think this is especially true in handguns. I used to be a pretty big trigger snob but as I got into collecting older rifles and handguns and AR's with sub optimal triggers I taught myself better trigger technique, and now...

I have not finished it but I have a Bauska action, stock, barrel blank, reamer, dies, and brass to build a 550 magnum. https://470mbogo.wordpress.com/big-bore-compendium/550-magnum/ I was originally going to do a 505 gibbs, but I figured this way if I run into someone that says they have a 50...

I am interested in doing a 7mm SAW, but it offers so little difference between 6.5cm and 308 that I can't justify putting money or time to the idea until I wear out my 2 6.5cm barrels. I can't think of a compelling reason for a 7cm.

The top of my list for stuff I want but don't need is a nice big bore double rifle. I have come to terms with the fact that I'll never be able to afford one due to the other hobbies competing for my interest so I am slowly putting together a 550 magnum bolt rifle.

One of my favorite scopes is an old simmons 6.5-20x40 that I paid like $120 for many years ago. It unfortunately lacks target turrets or a moa reticle, which kind of limits its utility, but otherwise I can't really tell any difference between it and some of the $500-1000 varmint scopes I've...

I've had $50 scopes and $2000 scopes and I guess I am just not an optics snob. Setting a target to spend on anything is stupid to me. I shop for quality and features, not trying to meet some arbitrary dollar figure that the internet thinks is appropriate. I certainly understand if you only...

Just to clarify, are you saying you get a 5-8 grain increase in H20 case capacity after fireforming X39 brass, or when using fireformed 6mm ppc brass compared to standard X39 brass? A 14-22% gain in case capacity just from blowing out the shoulder seams a lot.

If you were going any shorter than 16" I personally would get a 300 blackout instead. I have a 10.5" 7.62x39 and a 300 blackout sbr also and the muzzle blast on the 7.62x39 one is ridiculous. That is kind of what I was going for with it though. The shorter and shorter the barrel, the smaller...

There is one person who I don't think gets nearly enough credit for in the M1 carbine. John Garand. Yes I know that he didn't actually work on the carbine, but the carbine is basically a shrunken and simplified M1 garand. For some reason though its always discussed as if Winchester or...

I've always thought that the perfect round for the M1 carbine would have been 300 blackout. A 110 grain spitzer at about 2400 fps would have been a nice bump in effective range and power, and I bet it would have made the m1 carbine a more accurate and reliable weapon to boot. If they had done...

The biggest benefit for me would be the recoil reduction without the obnoxious muzzle blast of a muzzle brake. I like short compact rifles so I tend not to use them much on rifles. Mainly just on pistol caliber SBR's and 22's

Love them. LC9s pro in a pocket holster is my most common carry. When I belt carry its a ruger max 9 with an LC9s slide on it.

No personal experience but apparently I'm not allowed to like it. I found out on the internet.
