    Scope mount for longer-range AR10

    Steiner and Burris are the same company so not surprising although I like both branded scopes. I used ADM when weight is not important - I think they are a good value. I just bought a Nightforce and it is much lighter and seems to be of high quality - although they are not quick detach. I...

    POF .308 with 16” barrel

    Interesting article you may have seen - this was obviously studied way past what a hunter or enthusiast would do. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/socom-sniper-rifle-6-5mm-creedmoor-conversion/#:~:text=SOCOM%20formally%20adopted%20the%206.5,in%20either%20caliber%2C%E2%80%9D%20as%20Soldier "The...

    POF .308 with 16” barrel

    I have a POF 16.5 308 and I wanted more velocity for Elk so I bought a POF 20 in barrel from CFL Gun and Tactical and had is swapped out - they even did it for me - it also needed a different rod. I am getting 2578 with factory ELD X 178's with the longer barrel - I was really surprised how much...

    Looking for a good AR hog gun.

    Beautiful Rifle - Which model is the suppressor? I looked on their website and there only appears to be a 5.56 in that size. Also do you find it accurate - meaning able to keep up with the rifle's accuracy of 1 MOA or better?

    Looking for a good AR hog gun.

    I plan on going some time in the near future to Texas to hunt the little devils. I spoke to a friend that hunts them in the hill country all the time and he recommended a 6.8 SPC as is already stated here. I have a 2.5 - 10 x 56 on mine so as to give maximum light in case I do not get rent a...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    Paladin300 - Great Post - THANK YOU - this sort of well reasoned, fact based, "open discourse" was exactly why I posted my original post - I am also proud to be an American, believe we are the greatest nation on earth and even believe we are the only nation capable of policing the world and it...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    I had a Sako 85 300 WSM and my son had a Browning A-Bolt 7Mag - we were set up on our daypacks resting on rocks and we had been there for hours so the guns were very stable. Both shooting Nosler Partitions. Yes - I was very happy - all the time at the range - practicing paid off.

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    The King Soopers tragedy hit close to home as it is 1 mile from my son's college apartment and he usually shops there on Monday's - fortunately he was with me that night - It got me thinking about my position on an A/R ban - I have several in addition...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    First and only post in the Bear Pit - many will be glad 1. I love America, I love my guns, know how to use them, practice often, just not combat and believe in my 2nd amendment rights 2. There are probably some ex military or special forces on here and I thank you for serving - my cousin was a...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    I spent time in the Hindu Kush in remote Pakistan and also the tribal areas in 1993 - it was quite an experience.

    Am I incorrect in thinking an SBR is the same as an AR pistol

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    Thanks for the nice response I never thought the shot was unethical but perhaps you are right - each one had all three shots we fired in them. We had been freezing for 4 days in 20 degrees from before dawn to after sunset - and these were the only animals we saw - our very experienced guide had...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    I agree on McVeigh and in fact questioned one of my non gun friends just this morning that we cannot outlaw fertilizer. I also almost bought an SBR in 6.8 SPC - I love that round - I would have gotten a 12 in barrel - I am just struggling with what is starting to be a common practice - mass...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    Thanks Chrome - valuable input - I actually shoot quite a bit, am very accurate with my STI 9mm which would be the preferred home defense tool for me. I also have a CC permit, but typically do not carry although am considering it lately. I also box light middleweight although obviously that...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    I believe I was arguing for AR ownership, " I have always argued that picking on AR's is stupid" and against selling guns to mentally deranged people that have extreme violence convictions and questioning short barrel AR's purpose - I absolutely do not want the government to come take my toys...

    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    The King Soopers tragedy hit close to home as it is 1 mile from my son's college apartment and he usually shops there on Monday's - fortunately he was with me that night - It got me thinking about my position on an A/R ban - I have several in addition to my bolt guns. I wonder what would happen...

    Best Silencer Value for POF 6.8 SPC

    I may have measured the threads wrong and it is 5/8 x 24 in which case the problem does not exist. The manual does not state the thread numbers. It is a POF - and after searching old for-sale postings I see they state the thread as 5/8 - 24 in the CFL page that must be cached somewhere. They...

    Best Silencer Value for POF 6.8 SPC

    I just discovered I cannot use my ThunderBeast Ultra 9 cans (I have 2) on my POF piston 6.8 SPC since it has 1/2 x 28 threads and TB does not offer a threaded brake for these cans in that thread. I picked TB Ultra 9's because they are extremely accurate and I do not need high rates of fire. I...
