I received one these Konus spotting scopes for Christmas: http://www.opticsplanet.com/konus-konuspot-20-60x100-spotting-scope.html I couldn't afford a good Kowa or high end Leupold and after a lot of good reviews from other users I settled on the 20-60x100. Good clarity and focus plus, I have no problems finding my AR-15 .223 groups on paper at 200 yards. You will need a very good tripod as this is a heavy scope with a lot of glass.

"A friend of mine told me that Saiga 12 break during 3 gun competitions and Vepr 12 are stronger and last longer. Is that true ?" Well, I just used my Saiga 12 in the Remington Versa Max Challenge shotgun match this past weekend and it was purchased new in 2001. All internal parts are original except for the trigger control group and it's used in approximately 8-12+ matches per year including but not limited to the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-gun, Ft. Benning 3-gun, Carolina Tactical invitational 3-gun, NC Recon 3-gun, USPSA Area 6 3-Gun, 2010 Pan-Am Shotgun Championship, Tas

The previous posts here about the MRAPs being costly to maintain are absolutely correct. After assisting our unit's understrength Alpha shop in keeping up-armored Humvees and MTVRs during my last deployment, I can attest that you just don't order parts for specialty military vehicles like these from the local NAPA or Advance Auto parts and maintenance isn't performed by the mechanics at Pep Boys. The local governments will eventually have to justify the significant operation costs or these vehicles will rapidly become "hangar queens" and quietly rust away on the back lot of some municipal mo

Distal, please x-ray a Glock pistol when you have time. I still get an occasional "pistol that cannot be detected by x-ray" from people I work with.

I severely doubt the cancellation of a lame tv show had anything to do with membership here.

I've got an Aussie Shepherd as well and have the Bamboo brand collar on him with built in leash: http://www.mypetsavings.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/13deals.png

Someone records it on video and it gets turned into yet another reality tv show on Discovery Channel.

"None of the different schemes to do this have worked." My original Jeric LRBHO kit works very well and my reload times have definitely improved during 3-gun stages as I feel the bolt lock back after firing, prompting an instinctive mag change. Plus I don't have to fight a closed bolt with a full magazine or download by one round to get the mag to seat.

My favorite cigars have been the Romeo y Julieta, Macanudo and Onyx. Onyx was a lower cost, very mild cigar until Cigar Aficionado rated them in the top ten years ago and the price skyrocketed.

Rapid magazine changes can be accomplished with the AUG/ STG556 with some practice: And "weakhand" shooting can be done:

IF, the delrin brake holds together under the first few rounds then it may not stand up to the long term gas erosion along the ports. I have an older Royal Arms aluminum compensator on my Saiga-12 and it's ports show definite signs of cutting by gas erosion after several hundred rounds of bird, buck and slugs.

This from Military.com on unlawful orders: "I was only following orders," has been unsuccessfully used as a legal defense in hundreds of cases (probably most notably by Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg tribunals following World War II). The defense didn't work for them, nor has it worked in hundreds of cases since. The first recorded case of a United States Military officer using the "I was only following orders" defense dates back to 1799. During the War with France, Congress passed a law making it permissible to seize ships bound to any French Port. However, when President John Adams wro

Years ago, a friend bought several rounds of 12 ga. flechette rounds at a gun show and we proceeded to pattern the rounds at a private range. At approximately 40 yards, almost half of the flechettes hit the paper sideways and several were bent into a letter "J" going through the paper target. Not very impressive to say the least.
