    Savage Base/Rings Question

    I think I'm slowly coming around! Sounds like a call to Ken on Monday is in order! Do you have an idea what his turnaround time on in-stock items is? I.e, if he gets the order on Monday morning, will the order go out that day? I'm eager as this coming Friday starts this school year's...

    Savage Base/Rings Question

    Yes, the choice really comes down to something like Ken's stuff or Warne (same $$ range) and the Burris tactical rings. I've budgeted for this set up for about a year - it's my annual use of the "I love me gun fund," and I'd rather go with the rings/base I won't regret (for any reason, real...

    Savage Base/Rings Question

    Ok, this is where Adam shows his ignorance.. . What do I get out of a 15 or 20 MOA base? I had assumed that it gave me another 20 MOA of adjustment for zeroing purposes (although I wasn't sure how this was accomplished). Feel free to explain as technically as possible. I'm a dolt, but I...

    Savage Base/Rings Question

    I was looking at Warne rings/bases as well. So, here's the next question - what does the Warne set up have to recommend it over the Farrell and vice versa? Thanks! Adam

    Savage Base/Rings Question

    Forgive my ignorance. . . . . .but what does CS mean? Would you recommend the 20 MOA Farrel base? Also, which Farrell rings would you suggest? Thanks again, Adam

    Savage Base/Rings Question

    Hello! I am about to become the proud owner of a brand spanking new Savage 10 FCP (.308, 24" barrel, H-S Precision stock, detachable box magazine). I plan to top it with a Burris Black Diamond 6-24X with the mil-dot reticle. I am currently at a crossroads with respect to a base and...

    Single action RAP 401?

    The RAP 401 and 440 are direct clones of the Astra A-75 made by Republic Arms of South Africa. The Springfield Armory Firecat *IS* an Astra A-70 made by Astra, in Guernica, Spain. And I've sold about a half a dozen RAP 401's and in each case, the feedback from the purchaser was that Astra...

    Old Glocks still going?

    My first handgun, in 1992, (or was it 1993?) was a Glock 21, and I paid $500 for it, retail. I put 100 - 200 rounds a week through that sucker, week in and week out. The gun probably has about 7K rounds through it. I never had a bobble. Not one stinking failure. When I did my job, it did...

    Single action RAP 401?

    It's not a single action RAP. The Springfield Armory "Firecat" is nothing more than the Astra A-70, produced by Astra in Spain for Springfield Armory. Kinda like the XD is nothing more than the HS-2000 produced by IM Metal of Ozalj, Croatia. The big difference is price - both pistols...

    new RAP 401 !

    I don't know about the state specific drop tests, but the RAP series are among the only small imports to have passed the NIJ requirements. I love my 440, as much as I did when working on the article for CRUFFLER.COM - if I can answer any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. By the way...

    40 rd AR-15 mags

    I applaud your efforts and your ability. But isn't that a little like "The M1911 is a great gun, as soon as you polish and throat the feed ramp, replace the trigger, hone the sear, and fit a new grip safety?"

    40 rd AR-15 mags

    There are four types of reliable, high capacity M16 magazines (other than the Beta C-Mag): The 30 round USGI The 20 round USGI Thermolds Orlites . . . with the last two being somewhat less desirable from a reliabilty perspective. The 40's are cheap, imprecise stamped steel...

    What's the difference between luger and parabellum?

    You don't really want to start the whole "7.62x51mm NATO Does Not Equal .308 Winchester" thread, do you? Suffice it to say that the two are not the same.

    What's the difference between luger and parabellum?

    Well .. .. it's like this. .. . . How many of you can say that you PROUDLY own a Benelli B80?

    Suggestions for a ladie's rifle or carbine?

    So I guess there are "Asian person's guns" and "Hispanic person's guns" too?

    Which of these three would you choose?

    Have you considered landmines?

    Suggestions for a ladie's rifle or carbine?

    There's no such thing as a "Lady's Rifle or Carbine." That's a marketing ploy. I've known women who had no problem shouldering .300 Winchester Magnum boltguns and I've known men who thought that the recoil sensation from a 7.62x39mm AK was too much. It sounds like rather than a "lady"...
