    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why Not an XD?

    Comparing Sig, Springfield, CZ, Glock, etc. is like comparing Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc. They all make pretty amazing products, they all have minor pros/cons but they're not really a big deal.. There really is no bad choice in this tier of handguns. A bad choice would be High Point or Taurus...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why Not an XD?

    I used to have a XD9 Subcompact, and a XD45 Compact. I shot a few thousand rounds through each and never had a single failure (brass cased ammo). Both were more accurate than I could shoot. For me the only negative was the high bore height, but it's not a big deal. Honestly I don't think there's...

    Scar 20 flash hider removal

    I good heat gun or torch should be plenty to soften the thread locker. Red hot would be too much. I don't know what they use, but I know Rocksett can be removed by soaking it in water overnight. I'd try that first if it was me...

    Where's everybody staying and when is everyone arriving? I fly into Spokane Friday morning, but haven't booked rooms or a rental car yet.

    Advanced Marksmanship Heresy! Todd Hodnett says bubble level is essential!

    The level will diagnose the symptom, but it won't fix the underlying problem, much the same way as a thermometer will indicate you have a 102* fever, but does nothing to help you get better...

    Say goodbye to DPMS and Bushmaster

    It's sad the couldn't stay relevant - but it's the beauty of a free market.

    Suppressors The Zero POI Bolt Action .30 Suppressor

    If you never take your can off you never have a POI shift. It's a non-issue. You will sometimes see a very small MV increase, but it's usually so minor it's not worth mentioning.

    140 eldm vs 147 eldm. Which one?

    My rifle (6.5CM) likes 147's and at long range the the higher BC makes up for the loss in MV for me anyway. My rifle also likes the American Gunner 140gr BTHP and that's my go-to practice ammo for <800 yards. Beyond that they get a little too inconsistent. FWIW I've never personally had any...

    How much money for quality binoculars

    $300-$500 will get you good binos, $1000-$1200 will get you better binos, $2000 will get you the best binos. My current set of binos is a pair of 10x Burris Droptines. They're pretty decent glass for the price.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FNX

    It's a solid combat style pistol. It's not perfect and not as refined as a competition pistol, but it's accurate and reliable. I like how you really don't need to buy anything else for it - comes with 3 mags, tritium sights, optic ready, carry bag, threaded barrel, etc It's ready to roll without...

    Range Report UPDATE! FIXED! Anyone else have horrendous results with the new prime 130' 6.5cm ?

    FWIW my AI AT in 6.5CM doesn't like Prime either. I used to own a Gen 1 RPR 6.5CM and it would cloverleaf Prime ammo.

    PRS Talk Stage ideas for local match

    I am usually the first one to say "life's not fair", and I realize I fall well outside the average, but for guys like me with 20/100 vision in one eye, this type of stage is pretty unrealistic. I was shooting in a small match once and was doing pretty well for myself, probably 3rd or 4th place...

    If you could only own 1 gun for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    An accurate 14.5" suppressed AR15, with a Vortex 1-10x, and a ton of 77gr Mk262 ammo. Short and light enough for urban use, and can reach out to 800m in a pinch. Versatile enough for hunting and combat applications.
