I recently acquired an AR15 and now have a red dot scope on it. During fitting and initial sighting in the house with a bore sighting tool, I discovered my 62-year old eyes no longer want to focus well on the scope/dot in the customary location near the rear of the top rail. I tried a variety of positions from all the way back to all the way forward on the top rail. Low and behold; I can see the dot much more clearly and have much quicker target acquisition with it all the way forward on the top rail. I’m also going to try a riser to see if getting it a bit higher will help, just don’t have

pooolingmyignrance; that's why I agreed with you; I posted the rest as there seemed to be others who were a bit confused.

A layer of fabric protecting their ignorant eyes. It is worth mentioning though that under Texas law unlicensed carry in to a place that sales alcohol is a FELONY. Not that robbing them for it isn't already true statement; however, with a CHL it is perfectly legal unless the business derives 51% or more of it's income from alcohol sales for consumption on the premises. (PC ss46.035(1). Then it is "no firearms allowed". This DOES NOT apply to liquor stores or Walmarts because they are not selling for consumption on the premises. It also does not apply to restaurants like Chilies,

The only $1000+ firearm I would currently consider is the Noreen 30.06 Long Range Assassin with 22" barrel. They list around 1900. My Saiga 410 will approach $1K by the time I do a tactical conversion on it. I got it just before the import ban for 750 including two 15rnd magazines. Otherwise; 1000 is out of my budget.

why would you think we dont do that as it is? I'm hoping you do, if so, post em up here to give others the chance to share your positive thoughts on guns and military style weapons nationwide. I firmly believe a movement called "a rifle behind every blade of grass" needs to become an Internet viral onslaught the likes of which has never been seen before. Write everyone we/you know with thoughts of making certain we retain quite possibly the greatest deterrent ever. If we, as staunch believers in the second amendment, work diligently enough we have a chance of insuring the rifle behind

probably all valid points guys but rather than stating the obvious negatives about gun grabbing liberals here where 99.99% agree with you, why not share the importance of retaining second amendment rights in places where people need to be enlightened?

A few of my thoughts on the second amendment our politicians need to push to insure we are allowed to retain the right to own any type of firearm we choose. Do the bleeding hearts liberal gun grabbing Democrats simply not get it? The right to bear arms is in the second amendment, not to give us unlimited choices of weapons to use for hunting, but for one very simple reason. It gives us the ability to defend our country against a tyrannical government and in the event of an invading army. The guys who wrote it knew the day might come when we need a deterrent greater than any other, so they mad

now now, don't be to hard on the French; afterall they do have that huge warehouse full of firearms for sale. You can't miss it; the sign above the door reads, "military issue weapons for sale, never fired and only dropped once."

I can see your point. the only item that could stand a bit of correction is the "towel for a hat" part. Upon closer examination, the material is actually much lighter weight than a towel--more like a sheet in fact. Hence they should be called sheet-heads, not towel or rag heads.

As partial as I am to where I live now, (45 miles north of Amarillo, Tx) I would rather retire in or around Santa Fe, NM. Problem there is state income tax and very high cost of housing but I think the gun laws are similar to Tx. (not certain of that though). On the up side of SF, very nice climate for all but a few months in the middle of winter. It has great golf courses, rivers, lakes, skiing, hunting, great scenery all around and is chocked full of twisty roads for raising the grin factor on a motorcycle. But for me, I will likely retire right here in the Panhandle as my wife refuses t

A former co-worker of mine had one that he used to take prairie dog shooting. He was a retired Army Ranger who had been through sniper training among other things during his career. He would reload his own and when we went out to shoot, he took a spotter's scope windage and drop charts. I would spot for him and then watch as he consistently hit 9 out of 10 dogs at 400+ yards. The 22-250 carries the name "the varminter" for good reason. You might want to check your local (state) regulations on using that caliber on deer. Some states won't allow less than 25cal on deer. Enjoy it, th

40 years ago I owned a 700BDL in 30.06 that I shot 3/4" groups with at 200 yards at the range. Don't know what your "long range" needs are, but that's pretty deadly with a 130gr fmj hollow point. A few years after I sold it to my uncle, he took an elk he had stalked for nearly 2 hours at about 300 yards with a 168gr match-king boat tail hollow point that I loaded for him. He was one of those guys who never shot from a blind; always stalked his prey and shot off-hand. Remington 700s are accurate shooters to be sure.

If anyone can find the news clip; look for the one where Katy Couric interviewed the Marine sniper several years ago. Couric: so--what to you feel when you pull the trigger on your rifle with someone in the crosshairs. Marine: (without any hesitation). recoil maam. end of interview--hehehe

been there. November 2010; I had an acute attack that landed me in the ER followed by five days on IV antibiotics to the tune of 9,000 miligrams/day. The endocrinologist who was treating me said he had a general surgeon on standby in the event my colon ruptured and contaminated my core. That's the part that kills; as quickly as 24 hours and even with immediate surgery you may not survive. I feel for your brother; when he said intense pain--believe it. I passed out three times in the ER from the intense pain. It was 10 times worse than the 20 years of back pain I endured before having

I'm very happy with my Taurus PT111 Millennium G2.

Not a price I am willing to pay, but damnit if I don't like this rifle! I sort of have the same attitude; but if overtime keeps up and the market doesn't go south, I could see getting one in a year or two. I've read a lot of internet articles as well as the manufacturer's info and the Noreens look to be very high quality items with extreme accuracy as their primary calling card.

If you are wanting a 30.06 that will "reach out and touch someone, you might want to take a look at the Noreen long range assassin in 30.06 here: http://onlylongrange.com/bn36-long-range-assassin/

capture? hell no--nuke him, so we take out as many of his collegues as possible.

really? after reading the article linked to and being able to see multiple videos on the Internet about the myths of stopping power, some of you still believe a larger caliber would have made a difference? Wow---just---wow.

I found it interesting that the author of the article, Clarrisa Wilson cannot even get the proper terminology; "files to be charged?" What the hell, aren't journalist supposed to have an education and informed knowledge of the subject they are writing about?

Young Frankenstein -- Gene Wilder - Marty Feldman "I'm quite a skilled surgeon, I could do something about that hump" - "what hump?" "werewolf?" - "there wolf, there castle" "damn your eyes" - "to late" Marty Feldman "suit yourself, I'm easy" "walk this way master" "Abbey normal, I think" Gene Wilder & Teri Garr "wow, what knockers" - "Oh, thank you doctor"

I ran across this on a website called Sport-touring.net (STN). With all of the suggestions flying for AZ-DAVE to consider a sport bike, I felt a great need to steer him in another direction for his own safety regardless of how quickly he might learn to ride. There are some great points here from a long time sport bike rider with a lot of common sense (no it's not me-I got my first sport bike at age 60 in September) but this guy has some great thoughts on the subject. AZ-DAVE, please, please, please; take the time to read this posting from STN and stay away from those types of bikes that

1650 rounds of 9mm 147gr for $200 doing the math, that's ~$6.06/ box of 50.
