First the necessary disclaimer; AR rifles are "centerfire", and folks can and do fire it "benchrest". So, please, those guys that have a disdain for black rifles, please have patience with those few of us that use them for precision shooting, and resist telling me to go to a weekend warrior...

I hope I never move to a town so small that I haven't any other source for a firearms purchase. I don't know where some of you live or how your Walmart looks, but I can't think of a store that I'm more embarrassed to be seen in. To me, Walmart is a reminder of everything that's gone wrong with...

Whether it's the word from a friend, gunshop salesman, or a neighbor claiming to be a relative of Ma Barker; When it comes to your personaL defense, don't just take any ONE persons word for it. Spend some time and do the homework to find compilations of test data that can be found right here on...

The downside is that this is one more really UGLY looking device to add to my tons of equipment that I cart back and forth from the car to the bench. The rudimentary folks at the range give me a look when they see me rolling all my stuff up the ramp, and must think I'm the son of a bag-lady...

In a way, when you pull through the first stage of a Jewel, the second stage becomes the actual trigger. I just recently increased the first stage pull up from about 2 lbs to about 3 lbs, and the second stage to one pound. Now when I pull through the first stage, I have to be very careful to...

Home Depot refers to this orange string as "Orange Neon". And unlike my laser gadget, this can actually be seen at 100 yards in bright daylight! :cool: You simply clamp it to your bench and then walk the string out to the target where you can lay it loose on the ground or stake it with a screw...

I third Vern's recommendation.

The issue is being able to spot the laser in bright daylight at 100 yards. Nothing other then a 50mw strenghth green laser can be seen under those conditions. My standard 5mw red laser works fine on shaded targets out at 100 yards, but NOT on targets that are in day light. The standard 5mw...

Naaaaa.....I think you would have a heck of a time trying to visually locate that speck of light that is sitting inside a tube from 100 yards away. There's also only so much time allowed during relays at my public firing range, before I end up being the only clown out there that is holding up...

I don't engage in organized competition, but I seek the same kind of pinpoint accuracy you guys do. When I use to load at the range I simply brought along an oversized cardboard box that was open on one side. The beeezier it was, the further back I pushed my 10-10 scale deeper into the box. It...

In case anybody cares to know about the practical use and working aspects of the available green lasers out there; I ran two different threads elsewhere in the black-rifle websights asking about it. There are forums there that delve exclusvely into laser equipment used for tactical applications...

Thanks Vern for the warning....and what surprise to read your comment; I had ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE that this is something that is not unique. And here I am thinking that I came up with an ingenious device that I invented all by myself. As they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention", and so I...

Does anybody own a green laser pointer, who can tell me if the laser is bright enough to be seen on a white paper target in broad daylight at 100 yards? LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT I BUILT: I built a red laser device that I can mount on my spotting-scope stand and use at the public firing range to...

Thanks Mike....tempting, but the hour each way and 6 gallons of gas would be impractical. I'll wait around a bit with this thread and maybe somebody more local might respond. Appreciate it anyway. As far as availability in stores..... it's difficult finding gunshops that even stock reloading...

I need 4 ounces to 1lb of Vihtavuori N140 powder and I'd be happy to pay you what it's worth. (ie; $30 an lb) I can't see paying $30 a can for it, +$25 hazmat, + $15 shipping just to fire off 15 to 20 test rounds at the range. All I ask is that the powder is still good and you show up with it in...

Yes, gentlemen..... I consider paying by US Post Office Money Order to be at best marginal protection....as they are a huge governmental entity. I'm not sure how well they would pursue nominal thefts like this without you helping to provide essential information on the perp. If you don't know...

Nice flowers, luscious greenery, and good beer. But most important, I didn't see you with a wife and family; so where's those hot Brazil type babes in the skimpy bikinis?!!! Outa season? ;)

Thank goodness you're only out $60 if all recourse fails. While $60 is not tiny like say $6, or $16, it's also not $160 or $600 that you got burned for. If you're like me, you should be able to sleep at night and chalk this up as yet another one of life's episodes that seasons and makes us...

I'd really love to compare the mil-dot 4.5-30X Bushnell Elite 6500 scope to my new Burris Black Diamond mil-dot 8x-32x scope which is still new in the box. I have a 1" x 10" board mounted on my camera tripod which I rigged up to be able to place any two scopes side by side for a careful...
