      WTB: Fugly/Beat up/Busted 870

      I have $80 cash for a bare bones 12ga 870; 2.75" chamber, non ribbed barrel. Will stretch to $100 if the bore is in good condition. Busted/missing stock or forend, faded/scratched/rusted finish, dings, dents, whatever else is fine. Just needs to have a working safety and function (doesn't...

      The real benefits of barrel fluting

      It allows manufacturers to charge an additional $50-$100 for a marginal improvement over a similarly weighted un-fluted barrel! :D In seriousness, weight reduction is the practical improvement, but I think there is also a large number of buyers that find it more aesthetically pleasing and are...

      Optic for 2 and 3 gun competition?

      Depends on what class you want to shoot in and what kind of budget you are working with. If money isn't an issue, Leopold is always a good investment. Vortex is good too, slightly less expensive. I use a Burris MTAC that was pretty reasonable when I caught it on sale and it fills my needs so far.

      nickel plated cases

      It has its intended purposes (corrosion resistance, slicker surface for more reliable ejection, etc) but I mainly use it to identify my 45-70 loads at a glance. The lighter deer loads get brass, the heavier ones for hogs get nickel. I use it occasionally in pistol calibers too because I can...

      New medal for drone pilots outranks Bronze Star

      Medals have been losing their meaning for a long time now. If a finance troop can get a bronze star for processing one of the bin laden raiders travel voucher, this kind of development doesn't particularly shock me. Doesn't lessen the disappointment any, though.

      Raytheon Company has software it believes can predict YOUR future actions

      They designed about half of the software I work with on a daily basis. If their predictions of the future are anything like their other products, they will be delivered two to three years behind schedule, require monthly service updates and be 97% over the contracted budget.

      Chris Kyle

      There's no explaining the things PTSD will make some people do. Going off the news story, I would venture that something about the range (smell, sound, image, whatever) pushed him beyond what he was prepared for. As much as I would love to uncover a government conspiracy, I think this is simply...

      leverguns? .45-70? .30-30?

      Both Winchester and Marlin are great brands. If you have the shoulder for a 45-70, it cannot be beat; however, the 30-30 is more versatile in regards to factory ammo and reloading components. I personally opted for the 45-70 because there are hogs in the woods around here (if there's one thing I...

      The Raid: Redemption (Movie)

      Good movie, bit on the brutal side. The redemption part of the name weirded me out and made me think it was a sequel to something (spent a week looking around for "The Raid" before realizing it didn't exist), but otherwise no complaints. It's subtitled, but they aren't really necessary most of...

      Cheers for LaRue?

      Think it will work out for them. Last I heard, they're backordered out the whazoo anyway so they have nothing to lose by being a bit more selective in their clientele.

      .223 REM Reloading Powder

      H335 is a good all around choice. For heavy bullets and faster twists (75gr+ out of a 1/8 or 1/7) I switch to benchmark or varget, but that's usually only for longer ranges.

      AR15 double trigger....

      Nice. Paintball gun designers have been using double triggers for decades, I'm surprised it took this long for the concept to find its way into something with a bit more punch.
