Looking for a versatile new EDC and am intrigued by these two. I am a fan of Kershaw and own a Tanto blur w/serrations, but I want a good plain edge and would like to try the S30v. I like the blade shape, price and feel of the Blur. Assisted open is cool, but it has the potential to make...

Found a package deal today putting both of these rifles at the exact same price including some kind of cheap scope (Simmons or Bushnell, I believe). Looking at them in .270 or 30-06. Which of these two would provide the best out of the box accuracy? Which would be lighter? The Savage does...

Anyone using the .270 as an all around cartridge? I know the best all around hunting cartridge title typically goes to the 30-06, but there seems to be a group of .270 fans that believe it is as good or better than the 30-06 on everything all the way up to elk. I really have never felt...

To me the advantages of the Ruger are Ruger's support should any problems be had, a good price on a proven design and an attractive design. The cons are how the traditional 1911 fits my hand without being bobbed (bobbed fits great) and the finicky nature that some 1911's can have. Also, I am...

I think most of us are aware of the proposals mentioned, but it is worth noting that Obama does seem to be considering action on guns now. I wonder if he will wait for a second term, or if he feels he won't be re-elected if he would push something now? Fox News Story

Fox news article City councilman Mendelson has no business writing gun policies for the city. Only one FFL is effectively a gun ban.

I know that there are a lot of possible variations in materials and finishes to make this question difficult to answer, but assuming a quality combat style rifle and components to milspec, what is the average lifespan of the majority of the components in an ar15? I hear alot about barrel life...

I have seen a few mounts that look promising, but was wondering if anyone is running their AR this way, or have the standard handguards given way to quad rails and Magpul MOE's? Is it really worth swapping out the original handguards to go with something like a MOE or quadrail if that is all...

Radio station owner in Colorado has had his CCW removed for threatening speech. Details here: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/16/radio-station-owners-concealed-weapons-permit-revoked-dispute-mlk-editorial/ Thoughts?

I would like to hear from MOE handguard users about their satisfaction with the product and whether or not they use them with rails. Also, what length gas system? I see pics of them with good reviews but almost never see them with rails and rail accessories attached. I would like to know how...

What are your recommendations for an accurate plinking load for 1:7 twist chrome lined barrels? Best loads for hunting would be nice as well!

When cleaning your guns, which do you use and why?

With a midlength gas system, which would you prefer, and why? The Magpul MOE weighs in at a touch under 9 oz's, and the DD rails seem to come in at 11 oz's plus. If you have pics, post 'em up with your opinions!

Have a chance to pick up a Spikes with the painted logo for around $800. It is a mid-length gas system on a Spike's lower. It seems to be pretty decent quality and everything is properly staked, m4 ramps, f marked front sight base, etc. The BCG is an M16 unit but didn't seem quite as well...

Who owns one? I have seen the Spikes Punisher lower and the Magpul China Doll, but I know there are a bunch of them out there. Would be nice to get a pic thread of all the different kinds out there, and specifically any owned by THR members. Some interesting designs I am sure.

My current favorite in the AR market is the Daniel Defense line, but I know there are a lot of folks that feel that Noveske is the best complete AR on the market. They certainly look to be great guns and the barrels seem above standard, but what is it that makes them so desirable? Are they...

I am looking for a good quality accurate steel handgun in .40. I love the looks of the CZ 75b and love the way it fits my hand, but am hearing of lot's of reliability issues in .40. I have also heard that CZ's customer service is poor. Are there any other good alternatives out there, or is...

Defensive rifle? Varminting? Match shooting? Plinking? The Rock River thread got me wondering about the "chart", and how it applies to AR 15 owners. It is generally (certainly not always) assumed that when someone asks about buying an AR, they are looking for a defensive type rifle, so more...

In the AR platform, which caliber is the best for longer distances and accuracy? Is the 6.5 Grendel all they say it is? Is it worth getting a more obscure caliber in the AR 15, or is it better to just abandon the AR 15 platform altogether and go to the AR 10? How about some of the other...

Curious how many of AR owners on THR have swapped out their factory BCG's for aftermarket BCG's, and what the general consensus is on exotic BCG finishes? Young Manufacturing, Fail Zero, Spikes Tactical all offer some sort of hard chrome or non-lubricant surface treatments. Even BCM offers...
