    AR Barrel Length

    I know there are a lot of AR owners out here, so I thought I'd seek help (Hey, my wife always tells me to seek help, so...) . I just can't decide what barrel length to get on my AR15, 16" or 20". What are the advantages or disadvantages of the different lengths? Does the 16" heat up faster...

    Action vs. Accuracy Question

    For plinking and punching paper (or shooting steel) out to 300 yards, and some Varmint shooting up to Coyote size. Which would you choose, and why? I'm being corrupted, I'm starting to lean toward a .308... :evil: Thanks, Slick

    M44 shooting WAY left

    Help! Finally finished refinishing my M44's stock and took it to the range. It's shooting about 6-8" left (at 50 yards!). I shot it with the bayonet folded, and have heard that may make a difference. (???) I can see that the front sight has been pushed left quite a bit already, so I think...

    Picking out a bolt action for the "spring thaw" :D Which to choose, the Remington 700 ADL, or a Savage like the 10GX or 11FX? Probably in .243, maybe .308. Hey, there's another question, .243 or .308 and why... Primary uses, targets and varmints. Thanks, Slick

    SKS Accuracy

    Hi again, I'm thinking about picking up a Norinco SKS, and I have a couple of questions. 1) How is the accuracy of these rifles? What size groups can I expect at 100 yds, assuming I do my part. I sold my mini-14 because it couldn't put more than 2 shots in the same 4" circle, without...

    CETME or...

    Help! Tough decision ahead! :confused: I've been looking at three different inexpensive rifles, and wonder which is the most reliable and accurate. Also, how does the particular cartridge each fires compare to the others (.308 vs. 7.62X39) regarding shootability. I've never fired either...
