    Can a SOCOM 16 Stop a Bear Attack?

    In Hawaii they hunt wild hogs with a knife. Not quite like a hogzilla in Arkansas but they can reach close to 300 lbs. and crossbow hunts are also common.

    Can a SOCOM 16 Stop a Bear Attack?

    I understand what you are saying but this discussion was a technical discussion of what caliber / cartridge would be capable of bringing down a bear and my point is that .308 is capable not whether or not a person has the stones to stand and deliver a shot on target. My only point is that the...

    Can a SOCOM 16 Stop a Bear Attack?

    I have seen a Ranger cull an African Elephant herd using an FAL in .308. One shot, one Elephant. I am pretty sure it will take down any bear.

    Dettelbach resigns

    It does not matter who Trump appoints to the BATFE, because Sponge Bob Square Pants would know more about the subject matter and do a better job than Dettlebach.

    Wayne LaPierre pays 4 million

    I have been a NRA member since 1980 or so and am a Life Patriot Benefactor level, so I put some serious money into that organization. I am also a Certified Pistol and Rifle Instructor. They call me pretty often including today, but I have not given them money for many years now. I now give...

    Springfield SA-35 vs. Springfield 1911 Operator

    I own a SA TRP Operator .45 and have owned several Browning High Powers in the past. I even owned one BHP that was heavily customized by Austin Behlert and I would still rather have the TRP Operator. The TRP OPerator is a very nice 1911, maybe a little shy of the Wilson CQB Elite that I...

    Picked up a Springfield Armory XDM 40 cal today

    I took the XDM to the range today and it shot pretty true after pushing in the new sights. I did not need to make any adjustments at all. I brought the new sight pusher along but I was glad I did not need to use it, there was this cold, wet, white stuff all over the place.

    Wayne LaPierre pays 4 million

    Unfortunately, his job was to be a politician in a way or at least influence them, but it seems that he may not have done much of that.

    Is it possible to narrow the baseplates you have with a file or dremel tool?

    Picked up a Springfield Armory XDM 40 cal today

    The other day I got some Trjicon iron sights in and then had to wait a day to receive the sight pusher tool that I ordered. I purchased the Bravex model from Amazon for $70. It worked pretty well but the rear sight was a bear to finish and I had to break out some needle files and clean up the...

    New rifle on the way - I just ordered an M1A from SA.

    I ended up using a scope that I already owned. Leupold Mk3 6-18X56. I had already bought the SA scope mount. I will try to get out for some range time when it, hopefully, warms up a little bit.

    Picked up a Springfield Armory XDM 40 cal today

    That pistol is a Sportsman's Warehouse Exclusive and is still in stock for $640. If you don't have a Sportsman's Warehouse near you they will send it to your local FFL Dealer. I like this pistol a lot. When I bought it it came with 6 magazines and a shoulder bag, but I am not sure if it still...

    Picked up a Springfield Armory XDM 40 cal today

    It's not perfect, but pretty good. I will clean it and take it to the range to check it out soon. I figured with the two sights it was a pretty good buy and I already had 6 extra magazines for it. It was less expensive than the ones on Gun Broker.

    Picked up a Springfield Armory XDM 40 cal today

    .40 S&W is also a favorite of mine. I reload it and shoot it a lot. I also have an H&K P30L, and H&K USP and a SA XD all in 40. My Son has the USP so I am not likely to get it back and I may sell the XD although it would bring so little that it's probably better to keep it.

    Picked up a Springfield Armory XDM 40 cal today

    I had one of these about 8 years ago before moving to Hawaii and sold it prior to the move. I regretted that sale so I have been kind of hoping one would pop up used somewhere and today was the day. I went into the local Sportsman's Warehouse and this was in there for $469 with the original...

    Dettelbach resigns

    Especially in the case of Dettlebach there is no reason to keep him in his job as BATFE director since he knows so little about the subject matter. He might as well leave now since he would surely be replaced shortly. And if he is lucky that opening at the local Big M Steakhouse might still...

    Now he can go back to his regular job as the fry man at McDonalds.
