I’m not - Why would you bother when you can walk in with an AR15?

Criminals have their reasons and preferred methods. Some like guns, some like arson……and some would rather inject people in clubs with HIV infected needles. People who want to harm, will harm.

Scratch that. I spoke to soon.

Back to guns….


….What's everybody preferred brand for long range scopes? Mine are all Sig Sauer scopes and they use high quality glass from Japan. I've heard the glass in Swarovski scopes is really clear.

I went with Arken Optics on a friend’s recommendation for the 308 precision rifle

I want to try the Vortex stuff next. I didn’t know Swarovski made scopes until very recently

I've heard great things about Vortex's higher end scopes. They definitely punch above their weight for the price point(s) they compete in.

PSA seems to have regular sales on their Strike Eagle models.

How do you like your Sig rifle scopes? I just know of their red dots

I went with this one Sightron SIII 6-24x50mm Rifle Scope on my bolt action .338 Lapua.

Not super high end, but it has worked quite well for me.

I really like them. They are well built and the glass/red dots/reticles are nice. I purchased them from SWFA.com back in 2016.

I want a .338 Lapua so bad. It's all that's missing from my personal armory. Any pics of yours? I've never tried the Sightron, so that may be something I look into. What scopes were on your duty rifles?

I just picked up a Vortex Razor Gen II-E for a Noveske rifle I also just picked up. I haven't had the opportunity to get to the range with it yet but playing around with it, it's a quality piece for the price (~$1400). The glass is crystal clear and distortion-free (to my eye at least) and the illumination is oh so crisp.

I need to get a throw lever on it though as the magnification ring, although smooth as butter, requires just a bit more torque.

Couple all that with Vortex's reputation for service and I'm a happy camper.

if by duty rifles, I just had a standard M4, with the standard issue scope. I was an officer by the time I retired from the USMC, and not in MARSOC, or other SF types, so I didn't get anything special.

Love my .338, but shooting is basically shooting 5 dollar bills...

It's a Savage Arms BA110 Stealth, chambered in .338 Lapua. I put a pic of it somewhere in this thread, a few years back.

Speaking of Glock's ,... I have MASSIVE (NOT) hands and it's difficult for me to reach the trigger on my G26 and Gen 4 Glocks aren't on the PRK roster. I've seen a few videos on how to reduce the backstrap, but I'm uncomfortable basically destroying the grip.

Anyone seen these videos and what are your thoughts. THANKS!

I haven't had a lot of experience with Glocks. Can you link us to a video?

And no-one who can suggest the scale of “mass stabbings” is in any way equivalent to the number of mass shootings can be taken seriously.

Just going to leave you this: hope you’re all dreadfully proud of your “rights”

I could recommend the Maven RS.4 for daytime, when sun drops or light locations are varying there are better ones.
But since I gave up long range shooting those things aren't my first focus.

I have several Glocks. I can't say I have experienced your issue and in fact I own a G26 and it is really small for me. But I have slightly large hands (makes playing guitar easier ). But I do know a better place to learn all things Glock called glocktalk.com.

A quick perusal found a couple places that will do this kind of stuff professionally. Not sure how long you would be without your gun and maybe spending an additional $185 on an inexpensive gun isn't appealing but here is a link to one such gunsmith doing this work.

Boresight is another good option. Their work is impeccable.

Like the last time people virtue signaled by "turning in their ARs" in the news, I decided I'm going to buy 2 to replace them. Started with this Sig MCX Virtus.

That brings me to 4 MCX variants!

Whoa, same color as your socks. That is proper accessorizing.

What happens when you change socks?

Buy another one that matches.
