  Why was he typing in RANDOM bold sentences and words? IT MAKES it hard to read and just comes off as STUPID.

  I proofread my posts for readability most of the time and I'LL EVEN GO BACK AND EDIT THEM IF I find a mistake.

  Speaking personally, I forgo the break. Get a great scope and bipod.

  I shoot a .308 to test me and to learn to shoot because of it's mediocre ballistics.

  I don't want to mitigate the recoil because I'm trying to learn how to drive a rifle through the recoil.

  Found a listing for an Anschutz 2002.

  This is the easy highest quality route without charging tanks.

  http://targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54983

  Daisy Avanti in another listing $250 but it is bottom instead of side cocking.
  Bottom cocking = no bipod.
  Position shooting only without an accessory rail.

  @curt1521
  Do you have a hot wire foam cutter? If not and you didn't want to make your own, just send me a message and I can probably help you out. I've done quite a few and would argue they look & work a lot better than some of the electric knife butcher jobs I've seen out there.

  I do not have one. I sent you a message!

  Mine arrived this afternoon. I am currently using up some yellow card stock that has something printed on the back...but bright yellow is torture on the eyes. I'm looking forward to the softer tone.

  Thats why archery targets are yellow blue red. The yellow is meant to force your eye away, making it harder to shoot a bullseye.

  Here's the correct way to clean your AR15 if your interested at all. Obviously cleaning your weapon and making sure it is functioning effectively is one of the keys to safety in gun handling.

  I'm a shooter. I have 2,000 bullets cast for my 45-70 Sharps 1874 and we're going to Raton to shoot in the nationals this July. I have 1,200 bullets cast for my Falling Block Works .32-40 and my club is shooting three big schuetzen matches this year. There's a case of new Tenex and the Verein begins shooting again at the end of this month. I'm going to shoot at least half the monthly Pistol Cartridge Lever Action silhouette matches this year. There's enough powder, primers, annealed fireformed brass and I don't like to fish. BTW, if you cast without a PID controlling your pot, you are working too hard. I got one for Christmas and every bullet is a keeper now.

  @rhyno

  The PRS is the one I was looking at a few months ago. I never ordered one and have since lost interest...but if I bought another sling it would be a TAB PRS with cobra buckles and flush cups. It looks like a very well thought out sling.

  "There's some type of reciprocity so if you're issued a concealed weapons permit in another state, as long as there's that agreement between the states, then you're allowed to carry concealed in a different state," said Clemens.

  "some type of reciprocity?" Why does that strike me as so ridiculously ignorant of a cop to say?

  Innovation is good. The benefits are not always immediate and not always direct. New ideas are constantly shunned these days, and that sucks.

  I say, the more innovation the better. If it's not perfect, someone else might have a better idea because of it!

  It's been an interesting couple of weeks for AB.

  Shooting a crappy gun is frustrating.

  More frustrating then shooting a great gun crappy.

  When I know it's me, it's fairly easy to fix.

  When I feel like I do everything right and the results are crap it's beyond frustrating.

  Everyone is welcome to post on the Range report thread and everyone is invited to join in the monthly Challenge. You do not need to be participating in the monthly challenge to post your pictures and you are encouraged to jump in at anytime.
  It may not be possible to shoot a firearm daily; however the option is there to shoot pellet or bb rifles or pistols. Set up a short range in your house, garage, apartment or your backyard and commit to shoot daily. Get out to a range or hunt when the opportunity arises.
  Have fun and post your pictures!
