That leads me to my next question. What is an affordable quality .308 case for reloading since they will get chewed up? I have bolt guns to shoot at quantico but all in calibers that the range does not accept. So that is why I am trying to squeeze as much long distance fun as I can get out of my sem...

Thanks for all the good information guys. I know the PTR will not be giving me bolt action groups. The 40mm advice is great because I was maybe thinking of a 50mm. I know the Silver Bear is not quality ammo. But I do want to shoot that right off the bat until I am on paper and I'm dialing it in then...

If you had $10,000 to invest your single most reliable firearm investment would be to join the Civilian Marksmanship Program and buy (12) M1Garands. The good ones start at $625 up to about $1,500 for a collector gun. You are only allowed to buy 12 a year. You could shoot them for 10 years and at the...

I guess to me more specific I will only be shooting targets at 300 yards, at Quantico. I will not be taking long shots at game. I am really just trying to hit the range and put my shots as close to the bulls eye as my rifle, eye, and scope will allow. I like they way my 9x looks at 100yrds but does ...

I hope to do some distance shooting in the near future down in Quantico. I have never shot at distances over 100yrds. I have a 3-9x on my .303 Brit Enfield and a 4x scope on my Mossberg slug. Both work fine at my distances. But how much power do I need to shoot at 300 yards? I will be using an 18&qu...

This post makes me think of something I have always wanted to do in my old hot rod C10. I have always wanted to weld in a lockable shotgun holder/bracket like cop cruiser used to have, and maybe still do.

Certain military surplus guns are a great investment. Depending on how long you can sit on them. An SKS rifle used to cost $79, 16 years ago. They now sell for $279-$350. 16 years ago you could buy them by the crate. M1 carbines used to cost maybe $15 after shipping to your front door and they now s...

let me know if you have one.

He made the transaction very easy. Thanks

It is a way of capturing more money but still being able to advertise your guns at a lower price. For example if the shop dropped every price in the store by $30 and started adding on a $30 fee then they were ethical. If they just decided they needed more profit and added a $30 fee but still adverti...

I have bought some rare single shot shotguns for cheap. Winchester 37s and the Old Remingtons. But the best pawn shop buys I have had were a pre64 Marlin I picked up for $200 2 years ago. I have no clue what they were thinking. All the rest of their guns were normal price but that lever action was j...

Is this the winning post????

C&R holders can sell guns, but they are forbidden to be in the business of dealing guns, as noted above. Thus, buying a gun to sell it right away would probably be considered dealing, especially since you're offering a C&R holder payment for the service. Call Nova Armament, they had a coupl...

Any follow up, Mike? Did the warden at Phelps say he had ever seen wild pigs there?

I am eager to get some bushy tails. Anyone in the NoVA area have a trip planned?

No matter how many types of guns I own, shooting anything with a .22lr somehow takes the cake. My Ruger 10/22 has been my loyalist friend for the past 18 years. The only time it ever let me down was when i tried using a cheap plastic ram-line 50rnd mag.

Man, something about the taste of pork and the idea of seeing a big wild pig in the woods makes me want to sight in my rifle...

Nice rifle! It looks awesome.

You can have him go to websites like gander mt. where he can search by finish "stainless" or "silver".

I agree with Bill, for some, my post might be bad advise. I carelessly assume that everyone is like me when in fact some aren't. I know how my guns shoot with anything from trash range re-loaded garbage to the cor-bons and maxed out custom reloads but in a CC situation I know what I am working with....
