I was interested in getting an semi-auto rifle, probably AR platform. I know Robinson arms makes their XCR in 5.56/6.8spc/6.5g, but I was wondering who else makes one. I think its just a matter of a barrel and bolt change, but who else makes them. This can also include bolt guns (I think...

I saw an ad for a beretta 682 shotgun with Kolar subgauge tubes. I'm not familiar with these tubes, which were in 20, 28, and .410. What do these do? I tried to google this but all I saw were prices for these. So, I'm not sure what they do and how they are used/inserted??? Just trying to be...

I was looking for a spotting scope, not too big and around $400. I saw the Bushnell Excursion spotting scope (I like the folded light path design) and didn't want to spend $1200 for a Leupold. Anyone with opinions? I thought about straight/angled scopes, but thought a more compact design...

For those of you who like to shoot targets out to 600-800 yards, what type of spotting scope do you like to use? In the prone firing position, would an angled scope be a little awkward to use after the shot? Thinking about spending somewhere around $300-600. What do ya'all think/use?

Over at AR15.com they have a annual gathering which they call Oktoberblast (used to be called Gunstock). I went briefly last year. I'm thinking about going this year, hopefully they'll have the guy renting full-auto weapons. anyone going?

Went to the local gunshow yesterday and saw a Ruger Redhawk 357. I don't recall whether it was a 4" or 6" (thinking it was 6"), but it was one big sucker. It had been fired but everything seemed to be in good shape. Was this worth $650?

I was wondering what people thought of lightweight (aluminum, scandium) commander sized 1911's. How do they shoot, is the recoil bad, are they accurate? Does any one know of a range where they rent compact 45's (1911's, maybe sigs/HK's) in the Central Texas area, or perhaps Dallas (I go up...

I am shooting a 22lr (CZ 452) out to 100 yrds, but was thinking about shooting .308, taking a precision rifle class. What do you think about the FN SPR. I'm the kind of guy who buys once, doesn't like to trade, replace, or move up (at least not quickly).

I went to packing.org to see how many states my Texas CHL will be honored. Including Texas, I can carry a weapon in 25 states, thats half the country. There are also a number of states which Texas will recognize but don't yet have reciprocity but that might? come soon. Some people have...

They just opened a Cabela's in fort worth, tx, which would be about 2 hrs north of where I live. I looked at some of their gun prices, looked like MSRP on them. Is it worth a visit (will probably be in for the Dallas Market Show in about 2 weeks)? :confused:

I was looking thru the CDNN catalog and saw a nice looking price on the Weatherby Accumark in .308. Does anybody have an opinion on this? No specific purpose (not specific for hunting, target, etc), just was looking for something accurate.

Sometimes when going with friends at the range, sometimes bringing a variety of guns is enough. However, sometimes bringing the Delta Elite or the S&W 627 using the ammo with the biggest fireball is enough to bring a lot of grins and chuckles. :eek: :D What do you do to enhance your fun...

I was wondering whether you think gun ownership/sport is more popular or accepted now versus several years ago. I was thinking more states are passing concealed handgun license laws (shall issue) with many reciprocal aggreements. Gun sports/competitions are making into television including the...

I wanted to ask some of you what you thought of fiberoptic front sights on a shotgun to replace a gold bead. I was over at the Beretta Gallery Shop (in Dallas) and they had a Tru-Glo fiberoptic front sight (no tritium) for a Beretta 391. I have fiberoptic front sight on a couple of my pistols...

I was wondering for any central Texans (Temple, Belton) if there was any CHL classes you'd recommend. Ideally, it would have photo and fingerprinting available at the premises. The place I took the CHL course 4 years ago is out of business. Any leads? Thanx in advance.

Just a passing thought. I have an HK USPc 9mm that I hardly ever shoot. It is slightly chunky in my small hands and I have subsequently found single stacks to my liking. Would you consider getting rid of the HK for a Kimber Tac Pro 9mm, or maybe even an HK 2000k model? Once again, just...

I have an STI Trojan 5.0 9mm. I'm always interested in versatility, and so my question is "Is it possible to do a simple barrel switch to a 38super, yea or nay"? Appreciate any input. (BTW I'm finding I like shooting the Speer Gold Dot +P better than WWB. Seems to cycle the slide a bit...

I'll probably be in Washington DC in October but won't be renting a car (mostly attending a conference in Bethesda, MD). Was thinking about trying to get out to Fairfax, VA and visiting the NRA museum but won't have a car. Is there any way of getting out there without a car? Metrorail, etc...

For those out there with a 9mm 1911, do your regularly run 9mm +p ammo through it? With standard 9mm 115gr winchester white box, sometimes it seems the slide cycles slowly. Tried some Speer Gold Dot 124gr +p and it seemed to cycle a little faster. Will this do harm to the gun or wear out the...

I'm always looking for the newest stuff. Saw something about Sordin Supreme Pro Plus ear protection (noise attenuation - not clipping, can plus in electronics into them, ie. mobile phone). I already have Pro-ears, Tac7s, and Leightning (non-electronics). Looking for something which you can...
