    Mid range scope for AR-15

    Just got an AR-15 for my mid range shooting fun...it didn't come with any sights so I need to get a scope. I'm looking for a variable mid power (1-4x, 2-7x, anything close) scope for under $350. I don't really want a plain hunting scope, I want something with bullet compensation and maybe...

    Why does McCain have a C+ from the NRA?

    I've found that McCain has a C+ rating from the NRA, but I can't find why...He opposed the assault weapons ban, and supports the 2nd amendment as a individual right. The only negative thing I can find is the McCain-Feingold law, which has to do with campaigning, not gun ownership. So, why...

    Standard contour barrel, how many shots before heat takes a toll? (.30-06)

    I really love shooting at the range, but I don't have a dedicated target rifle. Instead, I use my hunting rifle (Remington 700 SPS DM .30-06) with a standard contour barrel that gets hot quick. POI changes slightly after the first cold bore shot, and gets increasingly off as the barrel heats...

    Hey guys, I finally got a decent pistol, a M&P 9. Now I need a holster for it, but there are so many different types and price ranges (I don't even know where to start). I don't want to spend a ton on a holster, but I want it to be quality. This will primarily be used to carry when hunting...

    Bedding a remington 700 sps...how much to bed?

    I'll be bedding my remington 700 sps dm (.30-06) very soon. I've never done this before, but I am confident that I will be able to tackle this. My only concern is where to bed other than the action. This is not a bull barrel, its not a super thin barrel either, its just the normal barrel that...

    Bedding a injection molded stock

    I want to bed my remington 700 sps to help accuracy and consistent POI after first shot. The problem is the the stock is injection molded. I know it would be best to just get an aftermarket, fiberglass stock, but I'd like to keep this one. My question concerns the hollow areas in the stock...

    Free floating Rem 700 SPS...is the stock too flimsy?

    I just ordered some bedding compound from brownells and figured I'd free-float my barrel while I was at it, but this stock seems really flimsy, should I do it? Also, there are two bumps at the end of the stock (closest to muzzle) designed to make the stock and barrel touch, why are these put...

    How easy to conceal? (M&P 9, XD 9, CZ P-01

    I'm considering these three pistols (M&P 9, XD 9, and CZ P-01) and wondering from those of you with CCW experience how they compare in easiness to conceal. The CZ is smaller than the others but seems "taller" from the top of the muzzle to the bottom of the rail. The M&P seems to have a very...

    I've read differing opinions on the accuracy of the XD 9 (service or tactical), some say its one of the least accurate pistols they've ever had, other say its very accurate. I was wondering what the general consensus was on this? What size groups are you XD shooters getting at 25 yards?

    How much more powerful is the .40 over the 9mm?

    After looking at several auloaders, 9mm, .40, and .45 are by far the most common. I had decided on 9mm, but the more I think about it, the more unsure I am about the decision. I'm wondering if the 9mm will be enough stopping power for whatever I may run into. That being said, I'm not willing...
