Barms

One thing we didn't discuss about a quality semi of OU vs an off the shelf Moss 500 with a longer barrel for the sport is wear and tear. I'm no veteran but you think about one day in trap is at least 100 shells down the pipe. Do that a bunch of times in a summer and your round count is very high. I bet my used Beretta 391 won't need a repair before a new Moss 500 would at serious high round count. I vote for used semi vs new pump

Jag you are in Mahwah? Just go up to Thunder Mt several times and rent their pumps for trap. After 5 or 6 times if you love it and want to shoot skeet or sporting then you can think about a semi or OU.

Where do I know that creepy GTFO guy from. Was he in a viral video years ago ?

Wish there was a way to only open new ranges in towns where the politicians are supportive of 2A. What a joke it would be if a range developer passed on a location because the Trenton voter was an anti. Or maybe you would want it the opposite? Put the range right in the Antis home town?

Survey: Do you pull with both fingers grabbing both sides like a claw? Or just "swipe" one side like pulling a peg back? Very curious. I've seen videos endorsing the one side grab, as it's a faster motion, but I'm clueless in real drills scenarios.

Im OCD about seeing: Marshall Law And "could of" instead of "could have".. "I could of bought more ammo..". Ughhhh But alas. Auto correct perpetuates it more I guess.

Who would win a battle? Honey badger or Spartan?

The genius of your choice is you need only one holster for both.

Why so much dislike for pull throughs?

Yes. This is what I've done the last two times. And i get good groups, but I certainly didn't "see" the red bullseye. Just guesstimated the center point and pull trigger Thanks to all who've replied to my multiple questions about this topic.

You can see a dime sized red dot from 75 yards away?!?! I know I'm sounding like a broken record here but I'm finding this remarkable. So in other words if I'm holding a playing card in my hand from 75 yards away you guys can tell me if the card is red or black suited? Why am I amazed by this? 75 yards away? Again I'm not doubting groupings. I can group, I'm just saying I'm holding the same spot but frankly I'm guessing the spot. Bit I'm certainly not seeing a dime size red bullseye. EDIT: wait. Is the above pics with irons or the ACOG? My comments were for irons only

From 200 you can actually put the plate as your sight target? You can SEE the plate from 200? Or is your sight something bigger like a table or frame the plate is on and you know where to put your front post in relation to the bigger items to hit the plates? I started a thread a couple weeks ago about this when ibrea about guys accuracy with irons. I'm telling I can't sight a playing card at 50 yards In other words if the 8 inch plate was hanging in space at 200 yards you could locate it and nail it at 200 with irons?

If you have a lower at your house just take the pistol grip off and keep it at work until the upper is compliant

Sunday morning at 7 am I saw an infomercial for Henry lever rifles. I was not dreaming. I don't recall the channel.

Been on route 3 for two hours.

Enough of this hypothetical. Please respond with actual recollection of being asked "got any weapons in the car?". Or anybody who actually said "that is not relevant to my traffic stop is it?" when they asked where you coming from. Has nobody been pulled over lately and asked such questions? I've never been asked either. I suppose it's my resemblance to Mr DiCaprio.

Great thread.

Smith and Wesson and Ruger stocks are at all time highs. "Peace and Love...Peace and Love..." Ba Ba Booey...

Great info above. Okay so for scope what "numbers" magnification is adequate for very close up under 100yards? In other words in asking not what's the best magnification. I'm asking what's the lowest I can use for the above. Best bang for the buck?

If this has been discussed in another thread please direct me. I'm interested in seeing how accurate my rifle is. Or actually let me rephrase how "consistent" my budget rifle build is. But obviously I can't see if I'm able to put bullets in the same hole from 50 or 100 away without magnification (you need to see the hole right?). I didn't build the rifle for this but I am curious. I know you pros are laughing when I say 50 or 100 but if I can tack drive them from that range I'd be happy. So with that in mind should I try a scope or would RDS magnifier be adequate? Here's my thoughts: this is not about fast target acquisition, id be shooting from a bench. I'm really just looking for advice on inexpensive entry level magnification. I know nothing about scopes, what the numbers mean, what "eye relief" means, etc. Again, this is really about just seeing the limits of my rifle as opposed to a real yearning for precision distance shooting. Like if it was possible for me to rent a scope for a day i would.

So update on me. Did about 100 rounds in batches of 5 rounds per mag this weekend. So that's like 20 mag changes. Zero failures and zero inadvertent drops on no mag in. Felt great. Think I got my 50 yard irons zeroed. Next up first time with the RDS. Really wish i could borrow a scope. I'm curious to see if my rifle could put them in the same hole on purpose, not luck.

I can't believe i always thought the bullets rose because of rifling or something. Now all this zeroing stuff is making sense to me

Not sure why my iPad won't paste the trajectory chart above. But I was at the 50yd range today working on my zero and I have this question. How come on these trajectory charts the bullet starts at MINUS 2 inches? Is that because my bore is two inches below my sights? Also, in some of those chart I've seen they show a figure of a barrel, and that barrel is tilted up. Is my barrel actually tilting up slightly when looking down my sights? When I see trajectory charts with bullet rising I just assumed it was a ballistic thing, is it because the barrel is up? Like gor example below shows the barrel up: http://aesirtraining.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Trajectory.jpg

Okay so all great replies. So check this out. One reply above asked if it was a Stag LPK? It is!! That's remarkable info about the size of the catch. Next, I'm okay with the bolt releasing on a smacked it makes sense if you let off the tension it would do that, duh I should have known that. I will take a picture of the catch up against the bolt an you guys can tell me if it's holding good enough. Thanks!

I wont say it's a gas issue yet because all of the above I'm doing dry firing with snap caps. 1 out of 8 times as I was testing functioning on an empty mag the bolt would not hold back. (but perhaps my hand was just not yanking it back enough). So then when it did hold back and i would drop the mag and as I'm going to push a new one up BAMM it would release withou me pushing the release. It's almost as if the catch was very very weak. An inadvertent release concerns me. It's not good if i have an open bolt and i reach for new mag and the bolt drops I then have to drop the mag to pull the bolt back again. That can't be normal. So that's why I'm asking how "sensitive" your rifle is to bumping it will the catch release if you smack your rifle.
