    Any real advantage using a 6.5 Creed over 243

    Up until the current ammo scare I saw more factory loadings in the store for 6.5 than .243.

    6.5 Grendel Semi-Auto Options: Please Help

    I build a 6.5 for similar reasons a few years ago. I'm very happy with my choice, and I went with an 18 inch barrel. It's not that you with loose much accuracy with the 16, just that for terminal ballistics and for 800 yards you want the extra velocity. I have an a bull barrel, but with a carbon...

    precision ar build help, what caliber

    I got one of the barrels from midwayusa which are branded AR-Stoner and rumored to be made by Saturn. There was a whole hullabaloo about a year ago about the chambers being out of spec but I bought mine this summer and it is good to go. It's probably not the very most accurate barrel but I have...

    How Many Guns Are Enough ?

    I have a handful and I've decided that I have enough for now. If I were to move to Alaska or something I'd probably get a couple more big bore firearms but as long as I'm here in the lower 48 I don't need any more.

    midway usa new shipping rates...

    USPS pays for an actual person to go past almost everyone's house in the country 6 days a week. If they have room for extra stuff it's cheaper for UPS to have USPS do the final delivery since they are already at the address. By not going to each final destination UPS makes their routes much...

    midway usa new shipping rates...

    It is for sure lower now. I payed $1.80 for shipping a $300+ order that was over 8 lbs all together (scope, bullets, odds and ends). Last week when I had the stuff in my cart the shipping was going to be like $17 or something.

    Running with an AR...how?

    Optimus has it right here. Just hold it with one hand right by where the upper and lower meet on the front. If you do this with your support hand you can get it up to a high ready very quickly.

    5.56x45 or .223 at long range

    In good conditions 600 meters is very doable on a stationary man sized target. Personally I wouldn't be too confident with irons at that range but with optics it's easy. When you get that far out it's hard to ID targets unless they have an unnaturally high amount of contrast. Vitals hits could...

    Building another AR, what caliber this time?

    I'd say either big-bore or Grendel would be good depending on if you shoot short or long ranges.

    Illinois Concealed Carry Classes

    -Yes -Yes ~125 for 8 hours -Did it with Illinois Gun Pros in Lombard, IL. Teacher Mike Bius. Overall I would rate the class 4/5. It was good but obviously improvements could have been made. We covered the law pretty well but I think more time should have gone into practical things also.

    geocaching targets

    I so want to live a cool state and do this right now. :( When I was in Colorado this summer there was tons of BLM land where you could shoot. When I went to the BLM office and asked for suggestions they pointed me to some informal ranges and basically said you could shoot wherever there was...

    DOJ Says UN Treaty Trumps US Constitution!

    You can see how they get it from Article VI sec 2. Bond v. US isn't all that much of a stretch, but I certainly agree that it opens the door for a lot of abuse. "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall...

    Transporting and storing targets

    If they are small they go in a folder or a USPS medium flat rate box. If they are big I put them under the top and bottom foam of my rifle case and then close it carefully. It works pretty well.
