We are a little low on the No's people!

I do not blame the voters. My 2nd amendment incorporated rights should never be in the hands of the voters! I blame the legal system that contrives every way possible to deny me my rights!

Where he shoots to 1k may be a bit of a road trip for you as he is in Fla. NF is good glass. If I were going NF F1 it would be this one: http://nightforceoptics.com/beast As for 6.5 I think Creedmoor is the way to go in 6.5's if you don't reload. I agree with Jimmy's statements about the 6.5's ballistic advantages, BUT one may consider the other side of that coin. Are you trying to compete? You will still learn everything you need to with a 308 without needing to replace the barrel as frequently as you will on a 6.5. If the cost of a re-barrel is of no consequence to you, then 6.5 is likely the right choice. I like to think of barrel life in terms of ammo spend to bring it into perspective. 308 - conservatively 8000 rounds - $12,000 in ammo 6.5 - conservatively 1500 rounds - $2250 in ammo

1)Yes I believe the ejector is different.

Consider this notice on the future political climate in NJ post Christie.

My OBR was not broken in in any special way. It has shot a number of .5's for 5 rnds at 100. I have been through several high end rifles. None broken in. None ever exhibited an issue. My KAC was run hard at the onset. As in running it like an M4. It will match the OBR.

"Pin the stock so that it does not fold"....or collapse.

Im not the authority on toys but it was my understanding that the projectile had to be metal per the statute to be considered a firearm. Again laymans view but here is the differentiation, if you use a replica in an actual crime, then it gets treated as a real firearm. So if you took a blue gun, painted it black and robbed a bank, then you have a firearm violation. Anyone in the know please correct me if Im mistaken.

I think in the case of the RPR its a bit different. They have managed to bring a rifle to market that has a very high feature/functionality to cost ratio. In other words its a very, very good value. Frankly I think they underpriced it a bit.

I think its a voluntary buyout, not a trade in. Its probably cheaper vs Toyota having to rebuild an entire truck around a new frame.

I agree on CL. I also only really use custom barrels and have never had one really give me trouble yet. I actually tend to shoot a bunch of cheap rounds out of new barrels to burnish the barrel. I am admittedly a bad cleaner. So by the time I actually do, Im usually well past the point to notice a difference in fouling post break in.

These other states also have a much greater level of general firearms exposure I think. The Taboo of firearms in NJ is what helps create a lot of the common lack of ANY experience whatsoever. But fundamentally I have come to believe that the problem is that any restrictions will lead to contrivance, manipulation or further restriction. It doesn't turn into a problem for states that are pro gun, but it could! But what about states like here? Again, look at purchase permits and how out of bounds that is from the actual law. And it is done intentionally to dissuade purchases!

This is the advice I follow for precision barrels on a semi or bolt. http://www.bartleinbarrels.com/BreakInCleaning.htm

That actually may fit too. I thought it was odd how quickly he would accept breaking off contact with anyone that was posing a real challenge to him. It makes sense if he was looking for Cletus and a stupid quotable.

After observation and speculation I am of the opinion he was not LE. Indeed I believe he was an anti here to be an intentional irritant.

Interested.

And I was the bad guy for openly pushing back!

Another nod to the HK45.

Apparently the two most common occurrences were 1911 shooters that forgot to re engage the safety and forgot to take their finger out of the trigger guard. IIRC only bested by Sig shooters that forgot to decock and take their finger out of the trigger guard.

Good to know, thanks Jimmy. BTW you and Keith are having too much fun down there!!!!!

Reholster and forget to pull the finger out and decock or forget to put the safety on and reholster with a finger in a bad place, yes, both training issues. But they aren't holster specific errors. I agree with the premise that the Serpa brings about a greater possibility of error due to its design. I do not have a habit of exerting pressure in the trigger guard area. But I could easily see how if you had trouble unlocking it you could exert greater force trying to free it, especially if it was a bad scenario you were dealing with. This logically seems to me to create an inherent risk. Way back in the day before anyone raised these issues I played with one and came to these conclusions. The stuff presented now is just a confirmation of my thoughts on the topic.

Id definitely be up for it!

Roger that! A few years back a group here got fired up to go out there and everyone joined up and then everyone got super busy and no one went LOL. I intend to actually go to these places this year!!!

But I think that's the point. Enough observed issues to warrant it being banned from classes, agencies etc etc. I never used a retention holster in competition. Not sure why you would outside of some crazy aggressive 3 gun perhaps? I think most ND's generally happen on reholstering. At least that was my takeaway from all the ND data collected by Gunsight. Sig's and 1911's lead the pack. But the Serpa brings the afformentioned inherent possibility of the ND on the draw. Sweeney certainly has enough experience and training, yet we see him fall victim to the very thing he says doesn't happen. Look at the negligent shooting of a suspect that brought about the surefire lawsuit. They tried to sue surefire stating that it was their fault because the switch and trigger both can be operated by the trigger finger. But surefire was acutely aware of issues that arise from using your trigger finger to activate anything other than the trigger and their training and use expressly stated not to for the very reason the suspect got shot. Its just bad juju.

You ready to buy it? Its brand new! Just got the rings last month. Havent even torqued anything down yet. Im working on a deal on an AIAX in 6.5 but if you have any interest, Ill just go buy an AXMC instead! Save me the price of another scope!
