Help building an AR-15...
This is true, however, if you did buy the tools for your first build, then your second one is cheaper. And it gets habit forming to build them. I've built two complete so far, and an upper for a friend, and two more complete builds are on tap in the near future. Never had so much fun and sense... -

Browning A bolt 300 Win Mag
I have a Savage 111 in .300WinMag. So far I've only shot Remington 180g CoreLokt out of it. No problems, quite accurate. Seems to me with the power available a 180g bullet is the way to go. -

45 degree off set mounts with mbus
Understand your dilemma, but my fix was simpler and cheaper. Since they are essentially back up sights, I went with something cheap that works and holds zero, metal sights that were already equipped with an offset mount. Got them off Amazon (yeah, I know, but they do work and look good)... -

Newbie question
Welcome to the forum! I shoot long guns left handed, and hand guns either handed although my preference with them is right handed. I'm very fortunate in that I can actually make either eye the dominate one. Don't know why, but it's always been that way for me. But I've never felt comfortable... -

Nikon Nikoplex Scopes
My preference is to get the most performance for the lowest price. Not made of money, ya know? But Nikon is the brand of scope I use, and the Prostaff's are my choice. I've got one on all 7 rifles I own. My Ruger American's (.308 & .243) both sport the 3-9x40 Prostaff, and I am very pleased with... -

Help building an AR-15...
Your group of guys were correct. I did the same. Started out with a DPMS Oracle 5.56. No complaints as a shooter, was totally reliable and ate everything I fed into it. Took my first AR15 hog with it. Neck shot, and he fell after 5 steps, DRT. But it has a very light barrel, and I wanted it for... -

458 socom or 300 blackout
Are you sure price per round isn't an issue? I looked into this also, and the deciding factor was cost of ammo, and availability. .458SOCOM sells at roughly $3 a round. Too much for my tastes, although I loved the idea of an AR chambered for it. Basically a .45-70 in an AR platform. .300BLK ammo... -

AK vs SKS
I owned a Yugo SKS. A fine gun, proven hog killer. A bit heavy, and the balance is muzzle heavy. But fairly accurate given the round it uses isn't particularly accurate itself. I modded it to a degree to make it more ergonomical for me. Removed the bayonet and grenade launcher sight system... -

What makes this Black Rain Ordnance rifle NY compliant?
Yep, it's dumb, and only a liberal politician could come up with such a thought, but it's the lack of a pistol grip that makes the gun, as a semi auto, legal in NY. But someone just came out with a pump action AR, and it IS legal in NY with the pistol grip, and it has one. Go figure. -

BCG Advice
I boiled down Speedracer's comments to this. Says it all IMO. I put the PSA top of the line Mil-Spec in mine, never a problem. And it was a really good price. -

want an accurate 750+ yard hunting rifle
For that range, and the energy required for the game your after, the .300WinMag should do well by you. And you will need a really fine long range scope (high power variable), and you will spend a bunch of money on it. And no going cheap on the ammo. It has to be consistent to be accurate. No...
