    Hunting with an AR?

    Since there was no question in that, there isn't a thing to answer. But I do think it is great when people begin things they don't understand with "I don't understand", it is appreciated. Having shot hundreds of pigs over the past 20+ years, there are often reasons, some stated previously on...

    Hunting with an AR?

    Maybe read the post again... Just say'in. Also, TTSX in a high shoulder will indeed destroy meat, but a deer can't run off if its front 2 legs don't work. I have watched a few try to run away with just their hind legs and their front 2 in the dirt - it didn't end well or take long to resolve...

    Hunting with an AR?

    If you hunt in a place where everything has thorns or stingers or fangs, your math changes a bit on how you hunt. Where I hunt, brush is very thick and an animal that runs 100 yards might not be recovered - or might be but you'll spend a week finding/dislodging cactus needles... I hunt both...

    Texas Heli hog hunt

    The short answer is "it depends." Hogs are nasty, nasty animals, often infested with fleas and ticks. And the bigger they get, the nastier they are. The only ones I have ever retrieved for eating are babies, they are delicious, if properly handled and prepared. I know hunters that have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best Micro Red Dot

    That has not been my experience, but eyes and opinions vary. Maybe I run my red dots brighter than you would prefer; and I am good with that…

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best Micro Red Dot

    I was a big fan of the Shield RMS, till I figured out that putting a bright light on the gun washes out the red dot entirely. And since it is an auto-adjust brightness (no manual adjust), you can have dot OR light, but not both at the same time. Or you can get a pussy of a gun light, then the...

    First time prairie dog hunting

    SWFA does not make sexy scopes, but they make very very effective scopes!

    Any 1911 aficionados here?

    To be clear, when Kimber originally started making 1911s, they were awesome - and not expensive. The gen1 custom shop guns are great, I still have one and it has been flawless. Kimber did exactly what Leupold did: build brand name and loyalty, flush quality down the drain and keep the price...

    First time prairie dog hunting

    It sounds like I need a 223 bolt gun… and maybe an old barber’s chair…

    First time prairie dog hunting

    Have one, was considering taking. Are there many shots inside 100 yards? I was wondering if 17 or 22LR. Why take a 22 air rifle if I can take a 22LR in super and sub - is a learning experience.

    First time prairie dog hunting

    As the topic says, first time. I've read a bit, but it tends to come from either the centerfire crowd or the air rifle crowd - am more interested in those that hunt and put less emphasis on the specific tool. My plan is a few workhorse ARs in 556 and a 22 air rifle and a 243AI for long, long...

    Texas Heli hog hunt

    If you are a civilian who has never spent time in rotary air, it is awesome. If you are a vet that has spent time in helos, is still fun, but not quite the experience of the POGs. I don't know the Corpus area, but have done this several times in the Laredo area. Some guys do this as a money...

    New 2024 MPVO Options

    And no washout. For its purposes, I can handle whatever reticle, but if it washes out completely when dealing with normal lighting conditions, hard pass. We not at SHOT appreciate the updates.

    Tangent theta ....ZCO.....Night Force ATACR.....

    Barska is in every discussion, just floating around in the background, like a turd that won't flush. I own both, I like both; once you reach a certain investment level, it is all based on small preferences. I don't shoot competition, so it comes down to best in lighting conditions and...

    NV and Thermal bridged

    The best way I have found to describe this in a meaningful way is thusly: grab 2 iphones with earbuds. Put in one earbud per phone and start a song on one - then start the same song on the other, such that they play a fraction of a second off time. If you can do that for a few hours and be...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    That's exactly what I was thinking! I saw it as a kid and now don't want to watch it again. Because maybe - like mom's cooking - it really sucked but I just didn't know it then...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    This is exactly what I have done with mine. Mine sits on a 8.6 blackout bolt gun in an American Rifle chassis with a forward optics platform. It works very well for me. My distances are not excessive, so it usually stays between 1.5-6 or so, but 10 shouldn't be a problem. As with All March...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM338-TI

    If it is a good price (and the "good price" includes the muzzle device), I'd jump on it. These "which suppressor" conversations are almost always about application, 338 cans, not so much. (If you are planning to run it on an 8.6blackout with an 8" barrel, please correct me here because it...
