Well...since cold shot hasnt weighed in with further clarification, Im going to continue with my assumptions. Since its a 20" AR and he stated mid/long range I am going to make the assumption that he is looking for a little more precision than minute of man. Also since he specifically did not mention close range I am going to assume he is not looking to "multi roll" his rifle. In this catagory a Nighforce 2.5X10 is an excellent option. NJMike, this assumption is what drove me to disagree with the Acog selection in the TA33 catagory. The TA648 has limited usefullness in just about any catagory. Im not a fan of fixed power optics especially in maginifcations above 4x, their scope of usefullness is too narrow. But these of course are my own preferences... especially since I like to try to orient my rifles around 0 to 800 on platforms I use magnified optics on. Optics like the Meopta or the Trijicon TR24 are ok for games I guess. But I do not like that they have no holdover stadia or exposed dials to dial elevation. So when you want greater precision and a longer distance, its much harder with these scopes. Also there are very few optics in this catagory that have daylight usable illumination. An example of the optics that do are the S&B Short dot and the Elcan Specter DR.

NJ, the Op listed medium long range. I dont think the TA33 fits this role very well. As for the TA648, there MANY better choices out there at that price point!

Well it looks like some of the more "ill willed" comments have been edited out.

To bow and crack a slide it HAD to be a serious over charge or some wildly incorrect powder or both. This wont be an STI warr issue, I suspect PMC will be replacing his pistol.

Im suprised how many of you wanna hang the Biological son. I can tell you that if it where my Dad, I really wouldnt care, I'd be collectinf my property. The real lesson here is make sure your affairs are in order so those you want to get what you want them to have dont have to jump through hoops to do it.

Not a lawyer but... since he is the Bio son, his claim may be greater than hers. Time of aquisition may play into it. Maybe these were guns in the family for a long time, prior to the marraige passed down from father to son over generations.

Even if you are arrested there are limits for a warentless search of your vehicle abscent PC. This is usually confined to the Search Incident to Arrest which is your person and the area of the vehicle under your immediate control. BUT theres always a catch. Your car will now be impounded which means it will be "processed" at which point all items found in the vehicle will be inventoried....

You can be asked to do anything. There is a difference between being asked and being ordered.

Technically no. Neither.

My personal view on arrangements like this is that it is a clear sign of weak management. This would be clearly indicated if mgmnt came to you about the lapse in coverage. IF mgmnt went to the individuals on the approved roster as failure to show, THEN I would recant my statements. But the latter is hardly ever the case when company's make schedule changes the responsibility of the employees.

Why do such a poor job on something important enough to do well to help insure you stay out of the pokey.....or legal entanglement at a minimum.

Are you a class three FFL holder? Or do you live in a state that allows select fire weapons?

Does this mean I have to put away my crossbow attachment for my AR?

Jack, as a bird lover I truly appreciate these pictures. They are great! Heres my buddy thats on my shoulder 75% of the time im on the pc

To expand on your theory, if drag were being applied, all manor of bad things could result. My comments are only my small sample observations. But to me it would seem that the device HAS to open up the potential for reliability issues. Just my speculation absent an in depth look and fielding one.

Vlad, I can only speculate because I was really running my mental game for the stage and didnt want to be too distracted. But it looked like the action was bound in some way. And later overhearing some derogatory remarks directed at the bad and the fact he had no further issues with it removed. A quick search on bad lever issues resulted in a lot of hits. Might be worth researching if you want one.

No the problem was the lever. In both cases they yanked it and the rifles ran fine the rest of the course. I would rather run 1 second slower then have a device that could tie up my rifle.

Ray you just wish you were a man so you could join in!

Toss you can put whatever you want on your rifles, a miss is still a miss

Ben I hope I didnt give the impression I was directing anything your way, more at that report that came out claiming zero accuracy impact. Bolderdash I say As for the bad levers, Im not sure what the malf was, only that it somehow bound up the rifle in a string of fire. Seen it a couple times now. Didnt get to post mortem since I was usually on deck. Didnt care nough to chase down the person who had the trouble because honestly, the bad lever just looks like trouble to me.

I have never seen an accuwedge cause an issue. I have however seen bad levers take rifles out of commision on the line. Think about it this way, if there was no accuracy impact, why would the likes of LMT develop a proprietary process for the fitting of the LMT MWS uppers and lowers together? The fit on my MWS upper and lower was a bank vault. This was the same for my GAP AR10 that printed under 1.5 inches @ 300 yds. It was also true of the OBR I put 5 rounds through at 100 for a .346" group. So I think the seperation between absolute accuracy and practical accuracy needs to be made. I dont use an accuwedge for accuracy because frankly if the rifle needs it, its in the practical accuracy catagory so I use it just to take out the slop. But like I said mines lost NBD. If I get around to aquiring another one or find it in an old dried up dog turd, ill put it back in

I dont give a sh!t what the armalite report or whatever report says. I will never be convinced that the wobble has 0 impact on accuracy. Low impact on practicle accuracy maybe but no way its 0. At any rate, I actually like the accuwedge just to take up the slop in a loose gun. Doesnt hurt anything and takes away an annoyance/distraction. Had one on my desk but I think the dog got it!!!! I wasnt going to try and retrieve it

I have the "cheap" kowa. Mine was only in the $8/900 price range but a little light for 1k shooting.
