Tell me about it, I so loved this optic but I'll have to make due with my Strike Eagle for the time being.

Pound cake was the M&M equivalent back in the day, I don't think they put it in MRE's anymore.

I remember when I was a kid (early 90's) my grandfather would bring me MRE's from the Air National Guard base where he worked. These were the old ones in the dark brown bag with such delicacies as potatoes au gratin, chicken ala king, and the sawdust bar. I may have been one of the few kids in...

What factory mags are you using? Most factory AR's are shipping with either an aluminum magazine or a Magpul PMAG, which are third party products.

Magazines are disposable items, I would have at least several more on hand.

PMAG's, Okay Industries, and Lancer 20 rounders.

I'm not aware of any laws on the books that specifically prohibit using the image of a politician as a target, that would go against the First Amendment. Ranges may prohibit their use but you won't get arrested for it.

Something else that I thought about was 9 gauge multi-purpose wire. You can find this at some hardware stores, sometimes back in the section with fencing materials if they don't have it with the other wire. I've used this stuff to make clay pigeon holders, hooks to hold gear, all kinds of...

For those of you that like to shoot precision .22LR I made these targets to practice with. I call them 50/50 targets because you'll need a box of 50 rounds and a 50 yard range.

I make good with as many of the RO's that I can and some of them really are good friends. I see it as a wise thing to do because if they know I'm not a douche then it gives me a little more freedom of movement to shoot and develop skills.

The multicolored 3/4" dots you find in office supplies make great target stickies. You get a ton of them in the pack and I carry them in my range bag in case I need to make a zero target real quick or just make a well defined point of aim.

Sometimes I'm at the range to actually get something accomplished and some days I'm there to just have some fun. When I'm there to work, I try to concentrate on that and don't chat much because it's taking up time that I need to shoot, take notes, and evaluate what I'm working on. If I'm...

Severely being the aperture is to one extreme side or the other. 8 clicks of windage adjustment is barely 1/4 of the full travel to one side or the other, not much really.

I've shot the M4/AR15 platform for the better part of 20 years in military and civilian life and I've never, ever had one that shot POA/POI with the rear sights set in the middle. The windage knob is there for just such occasions, it's only a problem if you are severely to one side or the...

I stick with what works for me, with all the wonder solvents out there I've stuck with Shooter's Choice bore cleaner, Break Free CLP, and Gunslick Foaming Bore Cleaner. They haven't let me down over the years and I don't see any reason to switch really. For bench cleaning I use Dewey one piece...

So you were talking about feeling the advantages at just 100 yards and truth be told a sling can be useful at just about any distance, especially if you have to take an accurate shot. I shoot 2-gun matches locally and one of the rules is that you have to have a sling on the rifle and the rifle...

Ok, so talking about carbine slings and set up a little bit... I use push button QD swivels on just about all of my slings and at the rear I always mount it on the outboard side (right) with the front connected to the left side of the handguard. Where it's connected along the handguard depends...

I wanted to follow up on the above with some traditional shooting positions that I use more often than not. Sitting I can't do the traditional Indian-style sitting position with a rifle so I use two variations: A spread legs sitting and a crossed ankles sitting position. I use crossed ankles...

A while back I wrote an article regarding slings and I'd like to spread the knowledge here too. Everyone is going to have their preference for different brands and types of slings but for the most part a lot of the techniques are cross compatible it will just come down to practice. Sling...
