    New from Iowa

    Thanks for the tip. We haven't lived there in 50 years. But one could make new friends in time.

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    My bear protection rifle in Alaska was my Marlin 1895 45-70 and S&W M29.

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    I like my shotgun. But the reality is I don't shoot them much anymore. Plus I don't reload for them even though I have the presses and the shells are pretty expensive. I'd rather have a suppressor for my AR. Touching off an AR inside isn't anything my ears can deal with after my stint in the Army.

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    I can see both sides of the argument. It gets tiresome dealing with people. Especially those that don't take into consideration that certain areas might have characteristics that they need to deal with. And of course in certain circumstances we could have more grace to deal with people and...

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    It's been something I've considered for years. I sold off some rifles to help with bills. I'll sell some more to take care of other bills. And then get serious and sell off the rest and keep only what I'll use, plus a couple of ones with sentimental value. then one good LPVO, a LR scope, and a...

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    I need to sell off some rifles that never get used for better optics and a suppressor.

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    That would fit in the truck gun category. Not humping much. Basically a rifle of opportunity. You're running around and something pops up while you're out and about. A quick day pack with your essentials augments this.

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    It's supposed to be. Better glass and no big knob on the side.

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    Yeah I was pretty amazed at their response. Worst off was a friend that worked there got caught in the middle. Well they lost a lot of business because of that. It was their own doing. I gave them every opportunity to make it good. All they needed to do was swap out a locking shoulder. And they...

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    I'm interested on how the new PA GLx 1X prism will turn out. Pretty much the eye relief of a red dot. It's it's an etched reticle them there will always be some sort of a dot even without illumination.

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    I agree for close in (for me) nothing beats a dot. But my truck gun 20" AR has an MPVO for coyotes. My 16" will have a dot, maybe LPVO with offset dot.

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    I will admit most weren't that accurate. 2 moa was probably the norm. The smith that built mine assembled with a "tight chamber". One problem is when you turn off the gas it'll lock up the spent round tight in the chamber. And when I say "locked up" I mean get out the hammer. Now I didn't ask...

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    Mine shot as good as my Armalite AR10, about 3/4 moa with my 168gr SMK handloads. The gong wasn't that big maybe 2-3 moa, you couldn't drive up to it at that time. Mine is an Imbel receiver built with a STG-58 kit that I picked out from hundreds of kits at Federal Ordinance. They gave me free...

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    Yup see that would of been the polite thing to do. Or taken turns shooting. Or just dealt with it because it's a shooting range and loud noises happen there. I'm going to snag some extra foam plugs from work. I'd gladly give them to someone if it makes their shooting experience better.

    Finding lands giving me fits.

    I have to somewhat agree. Seating to the lands is just a reference point. But like Hecouldgoalltheway says you could back off 0.010 from max mag length and try from there. If you're going to run from the mag then that makes the most sense anyways. I've gotten even VLD bullets to shoot sub .5 moa...

    Welcome from Eastern Oregon. You're probably getting ready for shooting chucks and yotes :)
