    Sidearms & Scatterguns Possible to identify a pre 2005 Sig P226?

    I've never been a Sig guy but I find myself wanting to add a P226 to the safe. I'm not interested in debating the merits of the new vs old sigs. I want to find a pre Cohen P226 with a rail. Is this a unicorn? Is there a way to identify the DOM by looking at the serial #? Any specific...

    100,000 registered members, thanks to all who contribute

    Thank you! Unfortunately I have very little to contribute to the site, no mil/leo bakground etc - I'm just a guy who likes to shoot. I have learned so so much that has been instrumental in my evolution as a hobbyist from the various contributors to the forum who have "been there and done...

    Invited to be a Freemason

    Don't believe the "Freemasonry is a cult" junk. It is a fraternal organization (not completely dissimilar to the frats at your local college). No they don't throw keggers or toga parties, but they are both private men's organizations. Its about brotherhood, charity and social events. Loads...

    Which state is the most conducive to long range shooting?

    You could do it with as little as 100 acres (well in theory you could do it on a single acre but a property of the correct dimensions does not exist (1210 yd long x 4 yd wide)), but that is assuming that the property is a properly shaped rectangle and your range spans from one corner to the...

    Hornady modified case in .260- like trying to find a hen's tooth!

    Try opticsplanet.com, it doesn't say "out of stock" and allows you to add it to your cart, but don't get your hopes too high, I have no idea if their site uses real time inventory management.

    New Custom Build Cost Analysis

    Manners mini chassis is made for the Rem 700. Granted I haven't really kept up with it but I don't think they've released one for savage actions yet.

    Rifle Scopes It's about time Burris gets in the game! UPDATED 1-8-14

    Good god there is way too much butt hurt in here over some scopes that haven't even hit the market. I'm glad to see more options; lets wait to bash or praise them until they're actually in consumers' hands, all this speculation is silly. For those of you going to SHOT, I would like to hear why...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell ERS parallax range

    I've searched to see if this was covered elsewhere but couldn't find it. There was a recent thread where a user mentioned that the XRS model is only able to focus down to 75 yards. Is this the case with the ERS model as well?

    Need an answer? was it bulls*** or true?

    What is it that you are trying to say here? In no caliber will a bullet climb above the bore axis once it leaves the barrel.

    Long Range Rifle Options

    I went with a FN SPR, here's why: 1. .308, old standby, capable of great accuracy, lots of good components available for reloading, extremely high quality factory ammo is easier to find than other calibers. I thought about going with a 6.5 caliber but that is basically committing to loading...

    22 Trainers?

    I have a savage mkii tr in .22. I like it and it is pretty darn accurate. That being said after spending some time with it, I'm not a fan of the soft wood stock and am planning on a manners stock in the spring. If I had gone with the 455 pt that wouldn't be an issue. The savage is fine and I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thoughts on sig 226 Elite

    The 226 is now available in an SAO version. I had previously not been a fan of sigs (or any other da/sa gun for that matter) solely due to the trigger configuration. Since I learned about the 226 Elite SAO a couple weeks ago I have been considering picking one up. Personally I'm a 1911 fan...

    What .22 LR Ammo is Showing Up These Days???

    Haven't seen any at normal prices until very recently. My local Cabelas had mini mags, limit 1 box ($9/100rnd box), and just today my local walmart had winchester super-x 37gr, limit 3 boxes ($6/100rnd box). One of the LGS has had some bulk 22 for a while, but the price is too high for me -...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 - what would you spend $1000 - 2000 on if you had the cash

    For close to $1k, I'd pick a Colt In the middle of your range, Dan Wesson is my 1st choice, but I like my springer too so the Trp would be a close 2nd At the top of the range, a Baer or used Ed Brown Why? Because I've owned all of them at some point and they've all been 100% for me. I've...
