One of my favorite scopes is an old simmons 6.5-20x40 that I paid like $120 for many years ago. It unfortunately lacks target turrets or a moa reticle, which kind of limits its utility, but otherwise I can't really tell any difference between it and some of the $500-1000 varmint scopes I've...
I've had $50 scopes and $2000 scopes and I guess I am just not an optics snob. Setting a target to spend on anything is stupid to me. I shop for quality and features, not trying to meet some arbitrary dollar figure that the internet thinks is appropriate. I certainly understand if you only...
Just to clarify, are you saying you get a 5-8 grain increase in H20 case capacity after fireforming X39 brass, or when using fireformed 6mm ppc brass compared to standard X39 brass? A 14-22% gain in case capacity just from blowing out the shoulder seams a lot.
If you were going any shorter than 16" I personally would get a 300 blackout instead. I have a 10.5" 7.62x39 and a 300 blackout sbr also and the muzzle blast on the 7.62x39 one is ridiculous. That is kind of what I was going for with it though. The shorter and shorter the barrel, the smaller...
There is one person who I don't think gets nearly enough credit for in the M1 carbine. John Garand. Yes I know that he didn't actually work on the carbine, but the carbine is basically a shrunken and simplified M1 garand. For some reason though its always discussed as if Winchester or...
I've always thought that the perfect round for the M1 carbine would have been 300 blackout. A 110 grain spitzer at about 2400 fps would have been a nice bump in effective range and power, and I bet it would have made the m1 carbine a more accurate and reliable weapon to boot. If they had done...
The biggest benefit for me would be the recoil reduction without the obnoxious muzzle blast of a muzzle brake. I like short compact rifles so I tend not to use them much on rifles. Mainly just on pistol caliber SBR's and 22's
I agree, I will take a well used glock over a new one any day. Someone else has already put in the expense of breaking it in for me. When I put together polymer 80's or even PSA Daggers I buy used glock triggers off ebay. They are way nicer than any of the new trigger parts kits I've tried...
I like the point he made about becoming proficient with a 40 makes you a more proficient shooter when you go back to 9mm because it instills some technique around grip and recoil control that you might not realize you are missing if you only shoot 9mm. I believe that is true. Besides for that...
I had one for awhile and really liked it. Was much better to shoot than my model 69 was. I was skeptical that the ports would do anything because of the way they counterbore the end of the barrel but it really does tame it down, and I didn't notice it to be any louder.
I would be carrying the same thing I always do but it would stay concealed because the situation you describe has not escalated to the point where I would even consider shooting someone's dog.
I recently got this Lithgow LA102 in 308 and put a Burris 2-10x42 veracity on it with a set of talley ring mounts. I have about $1500 total into it. I would put the remaining budget toward a suppressor.
Very cool. I have a contender pistol chambered in a cartridge I call 308 max, which is a 357 maximum case run through a 300 ham’r sizing die. I want to do a carbine with a 357 mag case necked down to 22 cal. In a shortened 221 die
This is something I was talking about in another thread about the 45-410 chambered guns. The Taurus judge needs to be rifled in order to be legal to sell. If it was smooth bore it would be classified as an “any other weapon” rather than as a handgun. They should just rifle them with a very...
