    Who'd win?

    I guess in the US you guys dont have zero to hero programmes. We have them over here where for example, I applied for but wasnt successful, but my best buddy got it, for ice hockey. For 8 months my buddy trained with the national team. He spent every minute of his weekends in the ice-rink where...

    Who'd win?

    I know people love to hear/see the skilled underdog beat the rich weekend shooter with all the latest gear. But I wonder how this actually translates into the real world. I think it would make a great documentary if any of you gentlemen are in that line of work. Basically. Im talking. Take...

    Terrified of squib loads

    I was going to post this in pistols but figured Id post here instead since it applies to semi-rifles and full autos (and possibly even bolt action if your're not paying attention to what your doing) I have always been conscious of shooting fast with a semi pistol incase of a squib load...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol with most interchangable calibers...

    Id love a glock, but a glock starts life as a centerfire.... so thats gonna cost a lot of $$$ on tax every year :( It needs to start life as a 22lr and then buy the slides seperately to keep my wallet (and missus) happy.

    5.56 brass any good for 223

    Just asking this for a friend. He works in law enforcement and could get up to 200 once fired cases of 5.56 every week. I know there is a difference between the 5.56 and .223 case, but given the right powder load, would it be possible to make these work?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol with most interchangable calibers...

    Due to work Im about to move to a new country of crap gun laws and as such I have to pay yearly fees and taxes and get a licence for every gun I own. And if its a centerfire damn Im gonna get raped on legal fees. But on the plus side I can have as many uppers/different calibers I want so long as...

    Let the panic SELLING begin!

    I dont mean to keep asking the same question over and over..... but why are people suddenly selling up now? Whats changed? on a side note: I would have presumed that the average joe who bought guns and bullets in a panic will just hold onto them when the bubble bursts. I mean 1000 rounds of...

    Let the panic SELLING begin!

    Forgive the ignorance, I must have been under a rock the past few weeks or so.... but whats changed? Why are people suddenly selling? Has Obama given up on his plans for a ban? Glad its over anyway. This USA $hit-storm was starting to have an impact over here in Europe. Yesterday for the first...

    Sure dont make 'em like this anymore!

    I knew they found this just up from my house about a year or two ago. I just didnt realise they made a video and put it on youtube. Amazing. And heres us on here freaking out when we see the slightest speck of dirt on our rifles.

    So hard to find reliable electronic scales.

    I looked at this already. It seemed like a promising scale but the reviews arent great (17 reviews and 7 of them of under 2 stars). Amazon.com: My Weigh GemPro 250 Compact Jewelry Scale: Office Products

    So hard to find reliable electronic scales.

    Wow that RCBS 10-10 is quite the scale alright. I never even heard of it before but reading the reviews Im starting to second guess about going digital. If I could get a digital scales with those kinda reviews Id be sold. I have a lyman pro 500 at the minute. From the week I got it I was having...

    So hard to find reliable electronic scales.

    No matter what scales (electronic here folks) I look at there always seems to be a lot of people saying (amongst all the glowing reviews) that the scale is crap. Wont hold its zero, stopped working after a few months, even the replacement one broke etc. And Im not talking about el cheapo walmart...

    Night Vision Recommend me a good NV scope.

    Im on a budget of about $1000. Will be using it to shoot rabbits out to 100 yards. Will hopefully be putting it onto my .223 with picatinny rail with a vortex viper. Any recommendations.

    Building a backstop

    Im building a backstop for my 22lr rifle. I shoot at exactly 100 meters. And 99.99999% of the time Im shooting subsonics. Maybe once every 3 or 4 years I might use a few mags of some federal bulk ammo (which is supersonic). So whats the best way to build up a backstop. I reckon at 100 meters...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger Mark 3... Ruger 22/45... is there much difference between the two??

    For what its worth, Im considering the 22/45 target. And then probably replace the barrel with a pac lite tactical. But Im open to suggestions.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger Mark 3... Ruger 22/45... is there much difference between the two??

    Everyone talks about the mark 3 being one of the best .22lrs out there but you never really hear anything about the 22/45. Is there that much of a difference between the two?

    Is this a bad move? Tikka Remmy?

    So any opinions at all on swopping the tikka for the remmy..?? Is it a bad move..?? EDIT: Just saw that post Hogtooth5r. Im not sure if its too good to be true. I mean my gun cost 2K new. But his Remmy cost slightly under 1K but then the chassis was just over 1K, so I suppose financially its...
