Re: Next time someone compares Australia

Interesting article.. However, comparing Australia to the US in virtually any metric is dishonest, except land mass size. Approximately 90% of Australia is inhabited by Australian or European descendants. Most of the rest are Chinese or Indian [from wikipedia..]. There are 50% more African American...

Re: Next time someone compares Australia

its only our dishonest media thats spreading that nonsense and its getting parroted by folks who dont care to look up the truth. Completely agree. IMHO, this is the type of information that the NRA, GOA, ... needs to be pushing. Be on the offensive. Be non-PC and directly attribute most of our viol...

Re: Coward of Broward County

I think if he is assigned duty to a school, then it is his responsibility and duty to protect. That's his ASSIGNMENT. A random person on your beat? No duty to protect - I get that. However, in this case, how is that any different then armed security around one of our elites? Their JOB, and therefore...

Re: Bump Stock ban

Any semi auto rifle or pistol with recoil can be “bump fired” in either well trained hands or poorly trained hands. It’s the hands in between that can’t do it. 8) Bump stocks and pistol braces do not violate the letter of the law, but the way they are used probably violates the spirit of the law . ...

Re: Mystery Load Game... Worth pulling and reloading?

I use paint markers on the primers to indicate the load combination. Doesn't affect the primer and allows you to collect the brass later to check for flattened primers, etc.

But yeah, pull 'em, or just shoot them as is.. If they are going to be for plinkers anyways...

Re: ?Optic choice?

let's say that your red dot is 2MOA, and you put a 3x magnifier in front of it. Now you're at 6MOA. At 50 yards, that's 3" How will a magnifier change the MOA of a red dot and not change the MOA of the target? Both the dot and targets appearance in size will change at the same rate with the us...

Re: ?Optic choice?

Honest advice - Use a 1-4x or 1-6x scope. Your plans included hunting; let's say that your red dot is 2MOA, and you put a 3x magnifier in front of it. Now you're at 6MOA. At 50 yards, that's 3". That's certainly small enough to hit the 'kill zone', but ethically, you have to do everything in yo...

Re: so this whole florida shooting was 100% preventable, based on FBI statement

Here is what I am actively doing to anyone who takes up an anti-gun stance with me. I ask the following questions: 1) Why would you give the government MORE power when you clearly see that they cannot be 'trusted' with the power that they currently have - at the federal (2 phone tips), state (39 vis...

Re: SBR 300 BO

I don't have a specific question. My general question was spurned more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm just getting into the 300 BLK and trying to absorb all the information I can on it. I've read many posts on this forum, and the thing that I seem to see most often are posts from guys tha...
