when you have large open fields, bolt action was plenty of firepower as you can shoot from a long range. in modern battle with urban terrain, the encounter is much closer and quicker, that's when you need the modern high volume weapons, such as assault rifle, for firepower.

huh? anything new about this clone?

Yeah, Tigr is a Dragunov, just with shorter barrel. The mechanism is the same. Here's how much Tigr is shorter, but it doesn't really change the accuracy, only the muzzle velocity.

I'm up here in WA state, so we have some woodland, and it seems .308 is most 1 hit knock down for games around here. As for the Winchester M70, it's a recent make, but it's a Classic model so it's got the controlled feed. It's a very nice rifle, feels more robust than the Remington. Thanks for...

Can .308Win do everything that .375H&H can do? I have a Winchester M70 in .375HH and also Remington 700 in .308. I'm trying to see if I could pair down to just 1 bolt hunting rifle, and that'll be 700 .308. So my question is if 308 can do everything 375 can do, or would I regret selling the...

just to play devils advocate. hindsight is 20/20. those guys gambled and lost. it could easily be that there's a new assault weapons ban after Obama took office, and those $1700 guns are now worth $2700.

Just got brand new Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 scope in trade. Optics look pretty decent to me, comes with ballistic plex reticle. I'm wondering what's the concensus on it. I plan to use it for .308 for medium range work, probably 200-500yd. If it's not worth using, then I might as well...

I'm curious if anyone has heard anything on what Colt plans to do to commemorate the 100th anniversary of 1911 pistol?

Yeah, if you look at it like a business, then you need FFL to "deal" in guns. In general as with anything, be that house, stock, gold or guns, if you can buy something when it's cheap, then you can probably keep or gain value on it. If you buy it while it's high, then you probably won't make any...

on the price, it's about $500 a piece for these. The Mk IV looks much newer, as if it's not carried much or the police officer never took his guns out of holster. The older one has more holster wear on it. There was a Two-Tone Combat Commander 9mm. I didn't get a look at it. Does anyone know if...

Thanks for the info. I bought these from Century directly, they had an odd lot and I got the last two. As for the Israeli story, there's actually a piece of paper with the gun, it's written in Hebrew. I had a neighbor look at it and translate for me, the paper was the police station firearm...

Hi all, I just got 2 Colt Combat Commanders in 9mm. They were imported by Century Arms, and from the tag info, they're Israeli Police issue. Does anyone have any info on the 9mm Combat Cmdr? I haven't seen one before, and it's pretty cool. What's more interesting is that the older one has...

Just wondering if anyone here shoots Winchester Safari .375 H&H. Is it a good magnum caliber for medium to large games? How's the recoil, ie. compared to .308? I've never fired .375 but I wonder if it's worth having over .308. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. From another member at Snipershide, it seems this was an uncatalogued dealer special from a few years ago, basically a long barrel version of LTR. The trigger doesn't have adjustment, but it is very crisp, might have been tuned already.

The Nikon scope is included in the $1200, which I originally though it's worth only $200 like a Buckmaster. Not being a bolt gun guy, that's why I thought it's a fair price for $1000 for the rifle+stock, and $200 for the scope, though I didn't have much money to spend anyway. I have always...

What are the new 30rd like? As good as their old LEO 20rd mags?

Thanks 1858, that's really good info you have there, I really appreciate it. I never thought about SS barrel being magnetic but this will definitely make more sense. That type of LTR type factory fluting is pretty rare on 26" Remington barrel, and this one is not 20" LTR barrel. How do you know...

I just got a new rifle. It's a .308 Remington 700 PSS on AICS 1.0 stock, and Nikon Tactical 2.5-10x44 scope. Do you have more info on whether this combination would make it a good medium range rifle? I'm wondering if it's enough glass for the gun, or maybe I can use a cheaper scope since I'm not...

Just wondering if one steel is better against throat erosion than another type?

How is that 16" bbl? Does it make the gun unbalanced?
