Good post! Been pondering :chin: (read - scheming how to sell the idea to my wife) one of those fancy Carbon Composite barrels from ABS and wonder what your thoughts are..or if any have used them with a degree of success. Besides the fact it would cost an arm an leg. If they are as good as they say,...

Can't say I have ever had these issues with mine. But for what its worth if there is any credence to this would like others to know about it. Went to the Remington site and didn't find any press release that mentioned it. Maybe CNBC just bashing firearms again or ? Remington Under Fire: A CNBC Inves...

Glad you recovered it. Once your older you will understand. It wasn't if it could be done. Its if it should be done. Eskimos reportedly have used 22 mags and 222 to shoot polar bears in the right circumstances. I would pass on that also. Most would agree the 204 and was developed for small thin skin...

Money talks. Watched "Food Inc." a while back. Those who haven't seen it may find it thought provoking. They showed the impact shoppers have on large corporations. Even Wal-Mart started stocking organic foods when they realized they were missing out on $. ( Wasn't from them suddenly gettin...

Just when I started to cool down, ran across more info on http://www.shootingwire.com/ The following is a snapshot of the article. The Politics of Credit The Warne Scope Mounts Company of Oregon was doing business - the manufacture of scope mounts and components thereof. While in the process of doin...

Ran across this article on http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/ . Not sure where to post such topics or if you'd rather not get something started. Seems they have established themselves as another bank that needs to be put out of business IMHO. Kinda aggravates me, thought I would just throw it out ...

Seems to me... :chin: now I may be all washed up...but by the looks of that data the 21 inch barrel has the lowest fps spread. Thought the best length would be one most consistent. My rule of thumb leaned to 21 inch barrels for short case and 23 for long case length cartridges. Lot of other factors ...

Man that's a nice set-up. Have a bad case of gun envy here. Noticed a while ago it takes a 200 yard group to get the proper scope settings..least for me. Seems I am forever one click off. Yea, I know, that's probably what the kids think too. Wondered where the 100 yard rule of thumb for groups came ...

Thanks for the help with the pic Buglemintoday. :D Hope I'm not violating rules by throwing a bunch of info in here. :( All you moderator types feel free to toss this in the recycle bin or move it if needed. (kinda new to all this posting on the internet forums stuff) As for the accessories. Well it...

Well, now lets see if this photo comes thru....

I have to agree with you there. The Burris AR-P.E.P.R. scope mount looks nice. Had a set of lower mounts on it that drove me nuts when I would pull it up. Would prefer the scope lower and more drop in the stock. Not sure why the disparity is built in. Figure the flat tops should have a different sto...

So what are his thoughts on it? Seems like it would be a good bear gun. For close up stuff anyway. With all those guns I would have a heck of a time picking which one to shoot every time I headed out the door. Have enough trouble as it is. Did you get a chance to shoot it?

Thought this was interesting. Would spur plenty to talk about around the camp fire. Not much in the way of a varmint gun, err ahh, then again that would depend on what kind of varmints a person was hunting. :D Heck of a bear gun though! http://www.military.com/entertainment/outdoor-guide/ar-hunting/...
