    Illinois legislature passes concealed carry bill w/veto-proof bi-partisan vote

    Long over due. I'm sure the politicians in Chicago are fuming and since the word's "shall not be infringed." aren't lately in their vocabulary, they're be conniving to come up with all kinds of limitations. Meanwhile the bodies will keep stacking up in the morgue until they go after the gangs.

    Poll...How many rounds of .223 do you keep on hand.......

    I keep between 500-1000 around and replace after each range trip whatever gets fired.

    Range trip PSA M4A1- Savage- Rossi- Marlin rifles

    Originally the game plan was to have both optics sitting on top of the receiver. But if I wanted the keep the BUIS that was not possible. So the rear optic sits on an Aimpoint Twist Mount which locks into the rail. It's position allows access and use of the BUIS. Here's one point, where...

    Range trip PSA M4A1- Savage- Rossi- Marlin rifles

    I went by Palmetto State Armory today had had a discussion with a couple of their armorers. They suggested moving the 3X Magnifier back to the original configuration back to the original position, away from the BUIS, closer to the Aimpoint to maximize effectiveness. Whatever...

    Range trip PSA M4A1- Savage- Rossi- Marlin rifles

    LOL....Shop around you never know what you can run into. You're talking Big Bucks now a Savage 111 long range hunter in 308 starts around a $1,000, before talking scopes. You jack up the calibers and start adding muzzle brakes and it's $3,000. I've never hunted moose or elks just deer, bears...

    Range trip PSA M4A1- Savage- Rossi- Marlin rifles

    To each his own. Both Aimpoints will not fit on the receiver using an Aimpoint Twist mount base. I've seen various combinations using different mounts. I'll check out moving the 3x Over the BUIS next range trip and see how that works. The distance between the optics doesn't seem to make too...

    Range trip PSA M4A1- Savage- Rossi- Marlin rifles

    Loads of fun. The 3x Magnifier is something else. But, changing bolts from 5.56mm to .22LR is easy work. I like to wipe them clean and start over when changing. A close up picture. This thing works and saves a few bucks. The PSA Carbine was the pick of the day. Put the optics on and...

    Range trip PSA M4A1- Savage- Rossi- Marlin rifles

    Yesterday afternoon I drove out of town to an outdoor range. Great blue sky weather, about 85 degree temperatures. It was Saturday and the Skeet Range was packed when I got there at 2 p.m. On the Rifle Range, there were four serious types, 35 to 40 year old guys there shooting various types of...

    Memorial Day

    I was talking to a couple of Veterans who work in a Gun Shop in Chapin Friday. A young fellow and lady who had both done two tours in our current wars, each. It wasn't about war stories or any of that. It was about adjusting to society and surviving the "afterwards" part of just plain old...

    Remington model 12B Gallery Special

    LOL. I haven't fired a 22 Short round since around the late 60's so I 'd be a bit confused myself. Check out Photobucket. That's what a lot of people use (including myself) to upload and reduce their photo in size. I Private Messaged you a link where you can wade through it with some helpful...
