    NRA involvment in Tactical Rifle competition

    Re: NRA involvment in Tactical Rifle competition I see no reason why the tact shooters could not shoot the same COF in XTC as everyone else. All shooters would need to be able to handle and fire their rifles in XTC. Yes, that means standing and rapids. Sadly, other than NRA Sporting...

    Hunting & Fishing NC Coyote hunting during deer bow-season

    Re: NC Coyote hunting during deer bow-season Groundhogs are also open season during the "non-firearm" bow seasons. While I have never been tangled up with a warden, I have hunted for groundhogs a lot during bow seasons.

    223 w/ 80g A-Max - how short can I go?

    Re: 223 w/ 80g A-Max - how short can I go? 24, Should not have a problem getting 2500fps with the 80gr in a 18-20" bolt gun. Service Rifle shooters can get it with Reloder 15 and 2520 is a powder to consider, too.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Revolver---BFR?? Ruger??

    Re: Hunting Revolver---BFR?? Ruger?? I would go with the Ruger Bisley. Rugers are generally good, basic revolvers. They are not the most accurate, but they are very reliable. They balance well and shoot well. The trigger might use a little work. The 45 Colt in a Ruger can be a handful...

    6.5's and 7mm's?

    Re: 6.5's and 7mm's? My 0.02 of a dollar.....take advantage of the long action with a 6.5x55mm or .280 Improved if you want the extra velocity/bullet weight/recoil. The .280 Improved can be an extremely impressive round when loaded with the right powder. The 6.5x55 offers excellent...

    Suppressors Resale of a Desert Eagle .357?

    Re: Resale of a Desert Eagle .357? bm11, Another optinion here, but similar. On the auction sites, used Desert Eagles (DE) usually sell for $800 plus. Some will go for $1000 plus. Something I learned with DE is they can be sensitive to the powder used in a load to function. The gas volume...

    6.5x47 vs 6.5x55

    Re: 6.5x47 vs 6.5x55 I have shot both of them a good bit. The 6.5x55mm Norwegian Krag is far more popular because it is chambered in so many more rifles. The 6.5x55 is extremely versatile but it will not fit into a Remington short action. To me, that is main downside of the round. It can...

    6.5L vs. 6.5C vs. .260?

    Re: 6.5L vs. 6.5C vs. .260? Reloder 15 and a 27 inch barrel. It is a hot load, e.g. CCI 450 primer flow, but that is where it shot the best. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Goin'Hot</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Oly, what's your bbl length and...

    6.5L vs. 6.5C vs. .260?

    Re: 6.5L vs. 6.5C vs. .260? To me, the CM is not worth trying. The brass is vastly inferior to the Lapua and not as economical as the .260Rem. I went with the 6.5x47mm and have been very happy with it. It hurt, but I originally purchased 500 pieces of brass and thus far, I am still...

    affordable accurate semi-auto recommendations?

    Re: affordable accurate semi-auto recommendations? An AR-15 with a White Oak upper (1-8" twist) upper makes for a good, accurate, reasonably affordable rifle. It is good well beyond 600m.

    Hunting & Fishing Sheep/mountain rifle - caliber and stock?

    6.5X55 or 30.06 Ackley Improved?

    Re: 6.5X55 or 30.06 Ackley Improved? A 6.5x55mm is far more pleasant to shoot than a .30-'06 in a bolt gun. To me, the added recoil is not worth the return of greater energy. 6.5x55s are impressively accurate, feed like a dream, provide all the energy one needs for a deer hunting rifle...

    Hunting & Fishing Handgunning!

    Re: Handgunning! The 7mm-08 is an amazing round in a well built handcannon. My XP100 in 7-08 used to be the most dependable gun I had beyond 300 yds. It still impresses me out to 500m but it stings after a while. misguided, you are a tougher guy than me if you are shooting a 7-08 out of an...

    Which Reticle for RF?

    Re: Which Reticle for RF? I prefer the same reticle for rimfire and centerfire rifles unless it is a pure offhand rifle (silhouette). Dots are great for the field especially when the dot is about the same size as group the rifle shoots. Unlike many, I hate the Leupold and other's duplex...
