His message was lost in his theatrics then. If he is truly knowledgeable he would not have needed to put on that Oscar worthy performance. He lost credibility with that if he indeed had any.

Reminds me of the writer's reaction to shooting an AR-15 for the first time. The story is behind a paywall but you can google it. Probably most here are aware of it: https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/06/triggered-political-journo-says-shooting-ar-15-for-the-first-time-felt-like-a-meteor/

I have never had a feeding issue. I just wish mine had a grooved reciever.

A 512 or 513 is not as accurate as the base level guns I see every month at our NRL22 matches. I own a 512. I love shooting it. It is not as accurate as my Tikka T1X I use for NRL22.

I shoot NRL22 at Oakdale Gun Club in MN. I am still pretty bad at the game but it is still a ton of fun. We are lucky because we frequently have some of the top shooters in the nation and world shooting NRL22 at our club. It is the most inviting group of shooters you will encounter. At any...

And they are swayed just by the wording of a ballot initiative. The wording of one law trying to outlaw "trophy" cat hunting would outlaw GPS or training collars on the dogs. The way it is worded though gives the impression that all training collars would be outlawed so even those used on upland...

There will be a ballot initiative in Colorado seeking to ban "trophy hunting" of cat species. https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/tough-way-to-go-out-mountain-lion-attack.355809/ It is just a step toward banning hunting. Biologists and game agencies should manage wildlife and not...

There are a few types of moleskin or adhesive backed camo fabric tape. Useful for quieting things down and keeping things like buckles quiet and also giving you a bit better purchase and warmth on hard cold objects.

Same way you would bore sight any other rifle. You can use a laser boresighter. You can take the upper off or hinge it down so you can sight through the barrel and adjust the scope to the point the barrel is aiming at.

Sometimes the mistake is not knowing our limitations. I was out with a buddy and he was trying to set the iron sights on a .357 lever action. It came to the point when I told him something was wrong with the sight on his brand new carbine. He told me that I was wrong, packed up, and went home...

I see guys saying if they are so high at 50 or 100 they will be dead on at another distance. Similar to your comment about the 1 shot zero not being one shot in reality do these guys then take that rifle and shoot it at that distance to verify?

Yep, I have been asked numerous times. Everyone thinks I have the answer to the shortages but I will never understand why we have so many small rifle and small pistol but not large rifle. Is it hoarders or something else. Is it related to the fires at the plants I have heard about. Is it the...

It is a name for it. Not reality. I understand you need to validate your zero with subsequent shots.

You and everyone else is looking for them. I have a good personal stash of them. Not great. Just good. I believe we will not ship primers nor powder. We do not put them on hold or take requests to set them aside when they come in. I will look tonight when I get there but I am sure the...

I work at an outdoor retailer. I also RSO at my club. I have a laser that has a magnet on the end with circles etched in. You use the circles to align with the end of the barrel after you stick it on. We sell newer versions that have a pilot that will work for most any chambering. The laser I...
