If they meet in the fires of hell Kalashnikov has the advantage. If they are separated by a few hundred yards of clouds...Stoner has the upper hand.

It's worth three times the post...This man changed the world!

I'm going upstairs right now and have a shot of Vodka for him!

keyhole-ing ?? What's this? If I get bullets key hole-ing Something is wrong. And what's a hammer pair?

Thank You! At least I don't feel like I'm pissing in the wind.

300yd 5 stage course of fire prone

I shoot tactical with a long bull barrel and no brake. So that may be cheating. 5 shots a second? That's beyond the cyclic rate of an M16. If you mean 1 shot a second Into a 9" plate @ 50? That's totally doable. Now the problem is I don't own an AR without a brake. So you can say I'm FOS. Furnish me a crowned muzzle and I'll certainly try it and probably do it. Brakes only provide an advantage to the fastest shooters. Edit: I was wrong 5 shots a second X 60 seconds is 300 rds / minute. Which is only half of the cyclic rate of an M16. Still I would really like to see 5 shots/second with a semi.

I respectfully disagree. A muzzle brake on a 223 is of limited value as they jump around VERY little.

Well I'm a SISSY BOY. I'm shooting Florida with my old Super Black Hawk. The second one with AR and Nosler Partitions and the third with 16" barreled SKS. Depending on distance of opportunity the order may change.

Do it all Walker. That was really a horse pistol anyway.

Shooting the mouse guns we have ruins us for shooting real rifles. When I go from 223 to big bore I am VERY conscious of my shooting form.

Shoot small miss small. There's a difference between agonizing over a defensive shot and shooting center mass accurately. You'll never put all the shots in the save hole anyways. You just pick your center mass point and go to it until the treat is eliminated.

Chris and Your Geekness - I depends a lot on the action. Yes it feels like you have to pull the bolt a mile on a Springfield. But that's one of the sloppiest bolts you'll ever find (read loose). Shoot a good commercial action(and only speaking Mauser type) like a Sako or a FN and the bolt is a pleasure to throw on a long action. I have a FN Mauser in 30-06, very light rifle, 21" barrel that I use for a brush gun. Yes it has iron sights. It's quick sweet shooting and you don't notice the extra cartridge length. and 150gr bullets are close to 3000fps. Can't do that with a 308. Don't get me wrong I love the 308 cartridge, but I'm gay for 30-06.

Quiter! Sell it to me. I'll give you what you paid for it in 1972

Excellent advise! I have two Rugers and yeah it's tricky at times but they don't require very frequent cleanings either.

All valid points Vlad but not at those distances. I'd check the mounts for misalignment. Bore sighters save ammo.

WHAT Nick SAID!!!!!!!!!

Ruger Blackhawk OLD one 7.5" barrel off of bags @ 25yds. Full house 180gr Hornady XTP loads of W296.
