    Black bear intruder....advice....

    I do not think you need to be an "expert" to fire few shots at very short distance at a problem bear (and she can definitely take the recoil of a 336) if you catch him in the act of destroying your property...I totally agree on asking advice to the relevant authorities and I believe she did that...

We just came back from vacation this week and when we got our dogs back she told us they have a trouble black bear in the area...she recently started to...

    Any fellow Seattlelites?? We need to fight this proposed city legislation.

    Our newly elected Mayor is already busy trying to craft gun control legislation.....the proposal is to force homeowners to lock up all guns in the house (and holding them accountable if an unlocked gun gets stolen from your own house and used in a crime). The Mayor said that "all stakeholders...

    Firefield scopes....as good as Centerpoint at that price range??

    Please answer if you have direct experience (or if you know personally someone that did) with them, I do not need pointless, generic comments like "Chinese scopes are crap", "you get what you pay for", "cheap scopes are useless". These scopes seem to have the features (external turrets, zero...

    Centerpoint scopes lost features....suggestion for alternatives as good in that price range??

    I had a nice conversation with a Crosman service rep (Crosman own the Centerpoint brand) and basically told me that Crosman was no longer able to provide that scope features at the price points required by Walmart...either they had to lower quality or take features out.....so according to this...

    Centerpoint scopes lost features....suggestion for alternatives as good in that price range??

    Mine are all in perfect conditions, all features work (and they are nice to have). That is the reason why I was asking specifically about that Centerpoint model....I'm afraid they may have lost not only features but also quality...I saw cheap scopes literally self-destructing or being awful...

    Centerpoint scopes lost features....suggestion for alternatives as good in that price range??

    I agree...people dissing them and putting them in the same category of Tasco, BSA, etc...they have no idea of what they are talking about...they were inexpensive but not "cheap"...my 5 Centerpoints are still running strong (they are all on centerfire rifles, one on a 338 Win Mag another on a...

    Centerpoint scopes lost features....suggestion for alternatives as good in that price range??

    It is basically the hex bolt that allows you to reset the zero on the turrets.

    Centerpoint scopes lost features....suggestion for alternatives as good in that price range??

    I own quite few of the "traditional" Centerpoint Adventure class scopes sold at Walmart (the 4-16 40 ones) for 70 bucks. Unbeatable features and good quality for the money (mine are all perfect). The last one I bought was probably 4-5 years ago. I just purchased a bolt action 22 and when I went...

    Low-End .22 Rifles

    My experience is that modern inexpensive rifles (22 and otherwise) are generally extremely accurate.

    Sccy?

    If the people at SCCY did their homework right and use decent materials, I would not call it a "Saturday Night Special" simply because at least they copied a pistol that actually works well.....

    Sccy?

    Sorry but I would not put Kel-Tec and SCCY in the same sentence....at all... Kel-Tec is a successful and well established firearm company with a wide range of offering and capable of designing innovative products.....SCCY is nothing more than a mom and pop shop producing basically a copy of a...

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    Exactly....many think that striker fired pistols are "newer" and the best things since sliced bread.

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    Never say never....and the DA/SA platform still enjoys widespread LE/Military use int eh world.

    What is a "DA/SA transition"?

    I never got what the problem is with the first DA shot.....as striker fired fans love to say..."it is about training", "it is a software issue not a hardware issue"...so train on that DA pull..... I never had any problem landing my rounds where I wanted them to at typical SD engagement...

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    I do not understand the worry about safeties and decockers in DA/SA pistols. I do not need to use the safety to carry most of DA/SA guns. One in the pipe, decocked is all you need. It's funny that the defenders of striker fired pistol talk about "lack of training" to defend the shortcomings of...
