    That picture was bigger than I figured on, apologies!

    Heinlein and Librarians

    I'm also a huge RAH fan, "Farnham's Freehold" was his TEOTWAKI book (and the source of my nom de guerre) and pretty good. I read Starship Troopers in about 6th grade (and 7th, and 8th, and college, and a half a hundred times since) because A. it has kickass space launched nuke launching powered...

    Which would you buy?

    Spent a year at Futenma at MAG-36, just had to give you my condolences. :neener: Miss the diving at Maeda and Zampa and the Air Force girls at Okuma :evil: but that's about it. On topic, the CZs are beautiful, accurate, reliable, comfortable to shoot all day, and in your price range, any...

    AR-15 Rifling; 1x7 vs 1x9

    Just to be a chucklehead (as a Marine, you'll understand ;) ), 1x8 is a possibility too. Mine shoots 77 grain and 62 grain well, not sure about the superlight bullets, ain't tried any.

    "Pistol/Handgun/Firearm" vs "Weapon"

    I got my squirrel gun, and my deer gun, and my zombie gun, and those are the terms I'll use when BS'ing with friends, but I'll generally use the more accurate descriptors of pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, etc when talking about them with most folks. Either to avoid the "you don't know what...

    How about savage 308?

    I love mine, shoots sub-MOA groups at 100 yards, takes deer/hogs/'yotes, and didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

    Best .308 Bolt action, current production?

    Geno, those are some good looking rifles, love 'em! I'm a fan of the Savage 10FP, too, maybe not as pretty as some, but it shoots extremely well, and as has been mentioned, even after you've upgraded the stock (pretty much mandatory, unless you get the Accustock) you're still under $1000.

    Case for takedown?

    Does this count? :D I'd think a mid-size Pelican or Storm case (though pricey) might be nice to try out. A little extra room for a couple boxes of ammo, binoculars, spotting scope...

    Building my first AR. HELP!!!

    I've also used Bravo Company and GTI, and I'll suggest Rainier Arms as well, they've done really well by me. For my first build (20" A2), I went with Del-Ton and after some initial break-in problems, that rifle has run very well.

    NUMBERS: AK vs AR. How many do you own?

    1 x AK 3 x AR

    Which rifle? .308 only though

    I have to recommend the Savage 10FP in .308, throw a Bell & Carlson Medalist or Choate stock on it, and you're done. No muzzle brake and unfortunately no detachable magazine, but it really will be a tack driver. Plus it's cheap enough you can get some really nice glass. Might not fit your...

    My salute to all Vietnam Vets who fought

    Thank you, veterans. In boot camp, we learned about Khe Sanh and Hue (yes, they still teach us those lessons learned), and I've since read about the Au Shau, and never have I been as proud to claim brotherhood with any group of men as I am to claim my time as a United States Marine. You done...

    Gun Pictures

    First, 84B20, thank you for your service, and thank you for those amazing pictures. Second, I'm not much of a photographer, but I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to figure out lighting, the flash washes things out, and when I use external lights, I end up with weird shadows. Thought these...

    Which Springfield M1A?

    This is what I did, got two synthetics from Fred for not much, Krylon'd em up, and now I can beat them up chasing pigs and coyotes. I also prefer the synthetic's wrist, the wood stock that came on mine isn't as comfortable to shoot for me, too fat (the stock, not me...well, me too).

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    Dunno if it's clever... I'm working up loads for my AR-15, and wanted to have the information a little more organized than I usually do, so I photo-chopped and scanned a bit this morning, and here's what I came up with. Just putting it up here in case anyone else needs such a thing. All...

    question for reloaders??

    I reload .308 for my bolt action, 7.5 Swiss, and SOME .223 on a single stage Lee press, and have no problem with it. Fitting the round to the rifle is worth that time for me. I also reload .45 ACP and 9mm on a Dillon 550, and when I was shooting far more IPSC, the cost savings was fairly...

    Why Is Your Favorite Rifle...Your Favorite?

    Shadow Man, yes, that is a PRI free float tube, and a PRI gas block. With all the ARMS iron on there, I can appreciate the lighter tube since I'm not hanging lights and laser designators and whatnot on it. As she sits, she's still at least as heavy as my M1A. I'm planning on getting the Ops...
