    Shooting Range Near a Well

    Ok thanks for all the feedback, seems like it definitely is something I should consider. I at a minimum will shoot in the back yard, a good distance away from the well and maybe look into building a bullet trap as well just to be safe. Definitely wouldn't want to contaminate my drinking water.

    Shooting Range Near a Well

    I just moved into a new house and as it is right along side a mountain with nothing but trees above me I plan on having a shooting range here. I am trying to plan out the location and I could either do it in my front yard (ideal) where I could probably get 50-75 yards or my back yard where I...

    California mag ban reversal 14 Aug 2020

    So my question with people saying this stay is still in effect is how constitutionally is it still in effect? The constitution lists the powers we the people grant to the gov't so when now there have been 2 rulings saying it is unconstitutional wouldn't that mean the gov't never had the power...

    JP enterprises captive buffer spring question

    It shouldn't be an issue but JP makes spring sets so you can change out the spring to a lighter one if necessary.

    Advice on a trade? AR10 plus upper, or BCM/Spikes build

    If it was me I would probably take the Aero .308. Seems like between the rifle and extra upper it may be worth slightly more than the BCM/spikes build and I also don't have a .308 AR. Both rifles would be good options though so I would say since the it is two different platforms/calibers your...

    Which Stripped Lower and Why?

    It depends on my budget and what I want to accomplish with the build. A more standard build the cheap Anderson is the way I would go but if I had a big budget and wanted a nice rifle I would go for a billet in the style I like. The lower would probably be the last piece I would spend extra money...

    Long Range .22lr?

    Those people most likely use what is commonly referred to as standard velocity ammo. It is typically between 1000 and 1100 fps so it is subsonic but if you have the CCI quiet which is like 700 fps that might be a bit slower than you would want for long range .22. I would recommend picking up a...

    Building bolt gun from scratch: questions

    I voted Savage as being the easiest and cheapest because it is with the barrel nut system. However, I wouldn't personally choose it as my base mostly because they don't really have any great aftermarket triggers for them. They also don't have near the amount of chassis options if you are looking...

    How does Leupold VX-Freedom compare?

    Based on the price it looks to be an upgraded VX-1 since it is in the same price range. Just like when they went from Vx-II to VX-2 which got VX-III glass this is probably the VX-1 with VX-2 glass. Both the VX-1 and VX-2 series of scopes are shown to be discontinued on the website so this would...

    Gunsmith "Rule"?

    This gunsmith and some of you have never shot a real nice rifle. Anschutz less expensive match 64 action comes with a 6 oz trigger and their more expensive match 54 action comes with a trigger adjustable down to about 2 oz. Jewell triggers for centerfire rifles such as the Remington 700 are...

    Which part or your trigger finger do you use and why?

    Use whatever part allows you to pull the trigger straight back on that particular gun. How is a 6'5" man with long fingers supposed to use the same part of his finger as a woman who is 5' and has small fingers? They can't so use whatever part of your finger allows you to pull straight back on...

    Which 1911?

    I voted for the S&w because from my limited experience with one colt and one s&w e series the e series has a much better trigger, better finish, and just felt all around smoother

    What 22LR for best accuracy?

    Online you can still find Wolf ammo which is very good. As to other recommendations for cheaper serious stuff CCI standard is good. For better but not Eley Tenex price range there are many good options- RWS target rifle, Wolf match target or match extra, Eley target, Eley Club, SK standard plus...

    Leupold American Marksman 3-9x40 $149.99 + free shipping

    In the Question and answer section on Cabelas website somebody asked where in fit compared to a vx-1. The cabelas response was that it was part of the vx-1 line but is a Cabelas exclusive. Looking at the specs it appears like it is basically a vx-1 with a LR windplex reticle so it should be...

    Opinion's on Hawke scopes?

    I just got a Hawke vantage 6-24 that came with and anshutz I just bought used. Was only out with it once but the scope seemed decent. Was more focused on evaluating and testing the rifle though so will focus more on the scope next time. Seemed pretty clear and bright though and was able to get a...

    How many of you test factory ammo ?

    For cheaper ammo I don't really bother testing before getting a larger amount. For rounds and guns I want more accuracy out of I definitely test before bulk purchase.

    Assume I know nothing about AR15s...

    If the sproing bothers you like it did me I would recommend going a little above your $500 budget and putting a JP silent captured spring in to get rid of that sproing. It is very nice.

    is leupold worth it?

    I agree, I think those gold rings do add a real nice touch to the look of the scope and rifle. Another reason to pick a Leupold.

    Making a gun from scratch

    Tark and Jim, here is a good video going over a bunch of laws regarding home builds by another member of this forum that should clear up some of your questions. Listening to the whole thing will be beneficial to any gun owner but if you know about NFA rules his non-NFA discussion about home...

    What would you think of a high school shooting team?

    I was on my high schools rifle team that I just graduated from last year. We shot at private range but competed at one range that I think was public. Pretty much you will need a range that will be shut down completely for just the team to practice for it to work well so it wouldn't matter much...
