    What's your favorite 3 milsurp rifles to shoot and why ?

    In no particular order. M1A, M1 Garand, Swiss K31. Basic handloads for my Mosin was an eye opener showing the gun to be more accurate than I thought it would be. I really enjoy all my surplus guns.

    Ammo Manufacturers: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    I tried one box of 9mm 115gr. WWB and had a primer blow out on a S&W 469. It blew back and and a piece jammed the firing pin. I think it is pretty hot causing the primer to blow like that. Have heard a few other people complain of similar issues. That is the only ammo line I have ever had...

    Latest visit to Cabela's.

    I worked at a BP for a year. The people they hire for the hunting department is mostly pathetic. While I was there they hired an 18 year old kid to work the gun counter. They hired people that really had NO basic knowledge of firearms and put them behind the counter. I would often be brought...

    How long, or ever, since you took a firearms safety course?

    Washington has exceeded the lunacy of California. No requirement here (yet). I took my hunter safety class in 1993 maybe. I renew my CCW every 2 years so there is that 4 hour class I have to go to.

    I won't own a gun that won't function with any ammo I feed it

    I don't own a gun that doesn't function absolutely reliably on factory ammo. I must be lucky. My M1, M1A, AR's, 2 9mm handguns and a Springfield 1911. My AR's are one factory gun, one PSA upper, one I built fully with a BHW barrel. I reload 10-11 rifle calibers but the semi-auto stuff all works...

    Tim Cook won't remove NRA channel from Apple TV

    It sounds like they are supporting the First amendment without coming out and saying it. O'm okay with it but I don't see it lasting.

    Will AR15 still be popular in California?

    I made mine featureless for $40. $6 for a thread protector, $8 for a std mag release, 50 cents for some roll pins and $25 for a hammerhead grip. We've already got it figured out.

    Is there any fire hazard to target shooting?

    Simple friction from a rock can cause cause copper fragments to become hot enough to cause fires so you aren't all together safe thinking lead or copper won't start a fire. Keep a shovel with you at the range so you don't have to try and stamp out a small start.

    Shooting Steel With Rifle

    The only hole I put in 3/8" was from a 7.65 x 53 round from a 91 Mauser. This was ammo that reloaded by someone else. I have too many hits to count with 30-06, 7.62 Russian and .308. I actually hit it once with a .338 Lapua. I actually wore one out. It started to get fatigue cracks around the...

    Is there any fire hazard to target shooting?

    A study by the USFS showed that the primary cause is fragments heated by friction from striking rocks or steel plates. I was surprised that copper would do it proving their point that is is super heated metal not necessarily sparks from steel jackets or cores.

    Remington 783

    I have a 783 in .223. It shoots very well and is decently built. The trigger is similar to the accutrigger on Savage and broke cleanly at 3.5# right out of the box. The bolt is fairly smooth. The stock rattles, I put some old gun case foam in it to quiet it down some. I shot an axis with the...

    Ruger American Ranch Issues

    Have you tried this suppressor on a known perfectly functioning rifle? Is there a back pressure issue causing problems. Don't know suppressors so just throwing oddball stuff out. Send it back to Ruger with your ammo and suppressor for them to test as a group.

    Triggers on hunting rifles, how do you like em...

    3.5 on my Tikka out of the box. 3 on a Sears 53 (push feed Model 70) breaks like glass I set that one up. Rem 783, 3.5 out of the box. A few rifles all set at 3.5. A Rem 700P set to break like glass a 2. I don't like a field gun you're walking around with to be less than 3, 3.5 unless it's a...
