    My Old school Parker Hale

    Nobody Important (seriously). Anyway, to answer your question about my friend with the P&H. He was a tolerable marksman. Always managed to put venison in the freezer during 'deer season'. Used a 7 mm Mauser that I had previously turned into a sniper rig, glass bedded, tuned trigger, fire lapped...

    My Old school Parker Hale

    Parker and Hale have always build great weapons. Trouble is they are 'shooter' weapons. You must be a skilled marksman to use one. They are not for the novice. Had a friend, just had to own a P&H, found a 'Safari Grade' in .308, in a pawn shop for a good price. Either it was too much gun or he...

    Is this cheating? Or lazy? Or insulting?

    Have read everything I can find on this system. Basic was over $20,000. Lot of money just to go shooting. Contacted the owner of Tracking Point, I am a better than average long distance marksman. Ask if I could shoot against his system, offered my bonafides to prove my abilities, so far haven't...

    Reasons for you taking bolt-action over semi-auto?

    For a sniper, you would think turn-bolt and 99% of the time you might be right. They are more reliable (less moving parts) as someone pointed out. But, say, you have just sanctioned your target, your staying concealed because someone is glassing for you. You move, you're probably dead. Bad guy...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    Shot 1st generation Glocks. Wasn't impressed. Perhaps the later generations have overcome the problems of 1st gen., but there are much better auto-loaders, 1911 A-1 comes to mind. All auto-loaders will eventually malfunction. 1911 A-1 does it less often than most, and gets the job done. Does...

    Teaching the kids about gun control

    My Dad started me out at 6 with a 12 gauge double barrel shot gun. First barrel beat hell out of me. Got up fired second. Never have been recoil sensitive, but not the best way to introduce a kid to shooting. He carried and hunted with that 12 gauge since he was 8 yrs. Elmer Keith, father of...

    Baggy Pants, & White Over Size Tees

    DarnYankeeUSMC, Dress code does matter, especially when applying for a job. Have seen young people dressed as described apply for jobs, then become angry when denied job. Learned this along time ago: Dress appropriately for the job that you are applying for. A business suit is right for an...

    Hunting & Fishing Why can't we have nice things?

    Go to these peoples' home, you will probably see the same or much worse in and a round their houses. If they haven't the decency to keep public areas clean, how much worse their private spaces?

    left eye doninant question

    To all 'left eye dominate', I feel for you. Didn't even know the term when I entered the Army. Just shot the way I knew how. Some 'brilliant' DI, taped my left eye to make me shoot right handed. Finally, told my platoon Sgt.,that I stood a better chance of hitting the target by throwing my...

    Is Uncle Sam buying up all the 22lr ammo??

    Back in the late 50's early 60's, the US Army in their infinite stupidity designed a M-22. Identical to the M-14 except it shot .22 cal. ammo. One the worst mistakes they ever made. Young kids with no or little shooting experience trained on the M-22's, when the got the M-14's firing 308's, it...

    .308 suggestions

    Cobracutter, great shot. Can't stand the gentle push of the .308, perhaps a pellet gun of some such would be more suitable.

    Pribor-3B assault rifle

    WOW! Must have been asleep when this toy came into being. Thought I'd seen all the 'Com Bloc' weapons. Too sweet, would love to get my hands on on, just to shoot. Anyone know where one can be had?

    Maggie’s Your Other Hobbies?

    dmike. If you're reading. It is Tracking Point. My bad in saying Aim Point. Must of had my head up my ---. Any way, do a search 'Smart Rifle'. It will (should) get you all the info you need. Sorry about the screw up.

    Fieldcraft What do snipers keep in the drag bag?

    Drag bags are fairly a fairly recent thing. A good back pack will carry almost everything you need. Drag bags are just extra baggage ( pun intended ) when you have to move fast and stay low. This does happen quite often. If you must use one, then: personalize to suit you needs. Perhaps a spotter...

    Fieldcraft bdu's

    clc33, bdus can be had at almost any 'Army Surplus' store. Some have the real deal, some have new versions of the original, some have both. Used can be $10-$15. New $35-$45. Still much cheaper than some of the tactical clothes that are being sold for $75-$100 and more. Some, if not most will...

    tactical pants

    Go 'Old School" w/Jungle Fatigues If you're still looking. Try your nearest 'Army Surplus' dealer. Most have new and used Jungle Fatigues. Come in 'rip-stop' nylon or 'rip-stop' cotton. Cotton is best. Cool light weight, plenty of room. Rip-stop factor keeps them from unraveling if torn...

    308 win for 1 mile shot

    Tempest 455. Hate to disappoint but the man is alive and well at last counting. Call it good luck, a hard head or what ever. He lived to go hunting again. Too, I am not saying that the 308 is an inadequate round, just the opposite. It is in fact an excellent round. I have used it quiet...

    Fieldcraft ACU Camouflage pattern really that bad?

    Papa Zero Three, have read the research. Boooring! I keep abreast of such things, why? Cammo is interesting. It is developed for a specific region and (sometimes) country. Worked a place (won't say where) the local cammo consisted of brown(ish), green, black leaf designs with bright red flowers...
