Firearm BS thread

Thanks for taking the time to spell that out for me. Definitely sounds like for higher end rifle rounds reloading is the way to go.

 

Anyone have one of these im thinking about putting one on my 308. I have a athlon optics 8-34x56 on there now. It works but not the best for my purposes.

 

MQQSE! Hope you are well my friend. Been an account or two.

 

Likewise for you and yours.
EDIT: And we are.

 

IIRC Vortex did a "1000 yards for $1000" advert/feature piece with a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creed and a 4-16 Diamondback Tactical. If the glass is comparable to my SWFA it'll be a sufficient entry-level rig, but if you're upgrading I'd go up a price class to the $700-$1000 category, the glass is very good in that tier.

 

No experience with it, I looked at one for my 10-22 build but never pulled the trigger.
I will say that there is a significant improvement in glass quality when you go to the viper series even if you give up FFP. It’s part of the reason that my Viper HS-T 4-16 is on my 10-22

 

These new gun owners are going to get someone hurt.

I just hate to give up ffp. I love ffp for hunting when i don't have time to dial dope i can just use holdover at any magnification

 

My plan as well. However, I am considering keeping a lifesize cutout of a person in the opposite corner of the room to draw the attacker's attention and/or fire away from my wife and I as we hide (oops...I mean "seek concealment") behind our bed. Despite the fact that the Lord has blessed me with a choice of firearms, I have chosen my Vaquero 45 Long Colt and handloads I worked up as my weapon of choice. My wife still prefers her Glock 19, although I am talking her into using her Bearcat. As far as cut outs, I am leaning toward:

 

Did you use the "special" loads for Rugers and TC only?
You can load those puppies up hotter than a 44mag with good brass

 

I love loading for Rugers for that very reason. I still get giddy whenever I see "Ruger Only" printed in reloading manuals.

 

For the most part, 45LC loads are pretty low velocity, but they hit like a lead turkey.

 

At least the trigger is covered......

 

Yes that is a plus

 

Been looking at the Canik TP9 Elite SC. Reviews are positive. Anyone have 1st person experience?

 

I have so many questions.
