    Zimmerman / Don West (co-council) Interview

    To anyone interested, I just got this info from Massad Ayoob's newsletter. There has just been posted (and I just downloaded) a 2-hr. interview with George Zimmerman and Don West (co-counsel). This interview was presented 2-16 at a MAG-40 class, and offers evidence the mainstream media did not...

    Splatterburst brand adhesive targets one of my new favorites

    Screwed up and went to the range a few days ago without checking the wind - it was like shooting in a tornado. I spent way too much time catching and worrying about stuff blowing off the bench, and the wind blew my stapled targets off the boards (good thing I carried some adhesive targets). I...

    Suggestions for a quality tan optic needed

    Probably a mistake, but I had a deal on an ISSC MK22 fall in my lap, so it's on the way. The rifle is tan, and I'm looking for a quality optic in tan or possibly FDE. Having a tough time finding something - think I might be leaning towards a red dot, but scope not out of the question. Seems...

    Air gun scope (preferably illuminated reticle)

    Got my first air gun (for squirrel control) on the way - need suggestions for a replacement scope, preferably with an illuminated dot (maybe not the entire reticle). While the dot is not illuminated, I'm currently using the Nikon Prostaff Target EFR 3-9x40 as my baseline. Suggestions...

    Pellet rifle suggestion for squirrel control

    I've got a "squirrel problem" with my bird feeders - I've been pestering them with a CO2 BB pistol, but need something more accurate and apparently more lethal (the only way you're going to keep them from a food source). Someone loaned me a Beeman R1 in .177 to try, but I can't hit a darn...

    Ozark Ordnance or Freedom Munitions 300 Blackout?

    What's the verdict...Ozark Ordnance or Freedom Munitions AFA 300 Blackout ammo? Got a can in NFA jail - gathering everything else for 300 Blackout - particularly interested in subsonic suitable for varmints, and possibly hunting deer - not having any luck in that area. I did order some of the...

    Savage MKII FV-SR longer rail needed

    I recently purchased a Savage MKII FV-SR on which I mounted one of the new ATN X-Sight II HD NV scopes. Problem is the OEM rail on the FV-SR is not long enough at the rear for me to mount the scope for proper eye relief. Contacted Savage with no luck - they referred me to Evolution Gun...

    Good IR flashlight?

    Think I'm getting ready to take a stab at a poor man's night optic - waiting for the ATN X-Sight II to be released this month. I'm looking for a good, decent looking higher power IR light than is included with the scope. I almost like Streamlight's IR SuperTac, but I have the SuperTac X LED...

    Interesting new SIG Sauer scopes coming

    Was watching one of the gun shows on the tube yesterday and saw a quick blurb on the new SIG Sauer line of scopes coming out. A lot of interesting looking stuff, especially for those of us that desire a FFP reticle. It looks like a number of the scopes can be had either FFP or SFP - your...

    WSET (ABC Lynchburg, VA) Town Hall on guns tonight!

    You may want to set your DVR’s, but it can also be live streamed at the link below: Tonight from 7pm to 8pm on channel 13 (WSET, ABC Lynchburg) there will be a program on gun violence (not just violence, mind you!). There seems to be some confusion on the length of the show – don’t know if...

    The Cost and Consequences of Gun Control Policy Analysis

    Was just listening to Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk podcast – he had Dave Kopel on and was discussing his most recent policy analysis paper, “The Cost and Consequences of Gun Control”. Sounds interesting, and Tom kept him over as he was interested in his paper. You can read online and download...

    College looking for help on faculty (and student?) CC

    A fellow shooter informed me there is an exploratory committee at a local college that is studying the possibility of allowing (promoting?) faculty CCing. The chairman of the committee supports gun rights & CC, and is a supporter of students being allowed to do so, especially since the campus...

    Best ballistic app?

    Suggestions wanted on the best ballistic app out there! First time smartphone / tablet owner, and am looking for first hand users of various apps. I've got the Nikon Spot-On app as I have a few Nikon scopes, but am looking at bigger / better apps. Being able to use 22 instead of...

    GUN PORN! (Yes, it’s out there)!

    The below is from a group e-mail I sent out to my little group of "gunnies"... I was listening to the Armed America Radio podcast the other day and they were ROTFL (as was I) about an Atlanta TV station that went “underground” to visit various stores in search of “gun porn”! The fellow at...

    Gun control advocate Andy Parker threatens Senator!

    From my neck o' the woods...Senator Bill Stanley reports threat by gun control advocate Andy Parker (father of the WDBJ / Roanoke VA reporter killed). I'm trying to give this guy a bit of a break as his daughter was just murdered, but I think he's about used up all my good will... From the...

    NRA Freedom's Safest Place National Campaign

    Kudos to the NRA for running some of the best commercials I’ve seen in a while (pass them on to your friends / anti-2nd Amendment folks)! Excellent PR from a cross section of Americans – hey, these people look a lot like me - nothing like “gun nuts” as King Michael and his ilk try to portray...

    The official Trijicon MRO thread!?

    Didn't see any threads or posts on the just released Trijicon MRO, so I figured I'd start an "official" thread for discussion / reports, etc. of all things good or bad. I'm interested, but probably won't really consider buying until someone (preferably Bobro) makes a QD mount for it. I...
