I have the P-300 on one of my ARs, though I am not entirely sold on the BDC it is a good scope for the money and I have gotten used to the BDC enough to be able to hunt with it if I so choose.  The P-223 is virtually the same scope and some 300Blk owners have stated that they see no difference in the BDC.  I used a one piece millet scope ring base out of walmart for roughly $35 and it holds it just fine.

While she might have a defense considering the PC portion, she did bring a gun into a non-gun zone and should be prosecuted if the court rules there was sufficient probable cause.  I will not say whether or not I may or may not of done the same thing but if I were ever to be caught in such circumstances I would expect to be charged as well, but I too would fight it if I had any defense whatsoever.    On the PC part of it, I don't believe there is sufficient cause to search her.  I don't use facebook and don't post on any social sites except boards like this.  But if I happened to post a picture of say a homemade can with "MADE in TN" stamped on it, I would not BTW, or of me shooting a FA AR on the range I would not expect to receive a visit from any federal workers because of it even if my AR looks identical to the one on the video. 

I want to enter this field and have been looking at different models of handguns and different calibers but they have mostly felt a bit big for my medium hands.  I have fired a few large calibers and some of the round pistol grip types have wanted to rotate upwards in my hand.  I have narrowed the field a bit, the T/C Encore/Contender seems like it could be a good start, and can be barreled to shoot some of my current calibers so that's a plus.  Also like the Ruger Blackhawk and Ruger Super Blackhawk.  I have been looking at these for quite some time, but I just can't get around how expensive these guns are, many above the $1k mark, just can't see this when many of my rifles have been half that, so it makes me wait for a good deal to come along.    So my questions are: who here hunts with a hand gun, what make/model and how much do you have in it?

If I remember correctly, Remington settled a few, but no jury awards.  Don't get me wrong, I dislike Remington's business practices.  They rolled out a new caliber, the 300Blk with a bait and switch round which was supposed to be an affordable plinking round at around $12 to $14 a box but used some qc excuse to stop producing the round at that price point.  But I have to say that their 700 line has received a bad rap, if you follow a few simple rules you should never get anyone hurt or killed.  If your weapon is loaded, you never point it at anything you don't want a hole in.  At most an AD should go down range into a berm or possibly into the woods if you are hunting.  I could see a lawsuit from someone getting shot in the woodline from and AD, but you know how unlucky you would have to be?   The truth is that many companies will settle out of court due to the fact that it is cheaper for them in the long run.  Many see this and will file a suit because even if it was mainly their fault they stand a good chance of getting money out of it and lawyers will do the legal work with no out of pocket fees because they know that same thing.  if there are enough law suits a recall can be cheaper in the long run, even though there is nothing technically wrong with the product. If you talk to many walker trigger owners, there are not many that will send it back to Remington, that says a lot for that trigger.  I will gladly trade my x mark for a Walker, even though I have no problems with the x mark I like the Walkers ease of adjustability.   Look up on YouTube, their are many videos showing how to adjust the trigger properly but once you get in there you have to take responsibility for the fact that you have modified the trigger beyond what the factory meant it to be at and any repercussions should be on you.  If you buy a used rifle, its up to you to do your do diligence to make sure it is in tip top shape when you take it out shooting.  If you are unsure of the proper trigger setting, take it to a smith or return it to the manufacturer to make sure; that goes for any make or model.  Same goes for all these ARs we love to build, there are a few things that can make the rifle unsafe and its not the manufacturers fault for any modifications you make. 

I like my 700, though many complain about the x mark trigger I never had any issues with it.  I have also used many civilian and military 700 with the Walker trigger without a hitch, even with a few of them having their triggers lightened.  I thing Remington is just trying to get out of all these legal battles with this recall.  Whether the 700 is at fault or not, its still expensive to defend in court.  You guys see this?    Remington's Response to CNBC Under Fire: http://youtu.be/B_KVS1hIbQg  

My sincere condolences for your loss Dave.  You and yours will be in my thoughts during these trying times.

According to the article I read, they will reimburse you if you have already replaced the walker trigger, which is the target of the new recall. Mine was sent in for the x mark recall, but I would be happy to trade it for a walker trigger if anyone is interested :)

Unless you shoot an AR with just irons, all your firearms will be the same, no nose to charging handle.  In basic was the only time I actually did it that way, since I hunted I was used to getting a good sight picture and an M16 is nothing compared to a 30/06.

I find that putting your nose on the charging handle is unnecessary when dealing with optics.  Just a good solid shoulder pocket and a decent cheek weld will be enough.  The reason the nose to the charging handle was taught, was because in basic many had not fired rifles in their life and it was an easy reference for the iron sights.    BTW I have two scopes with the BDC reticle, not in love with the reticle it takes up too much target and field of view.  But the scopes work great, I have a P-300 on the 300Blk rifle, and another (can't recall which) on my .223., I use an ap called strelok which replaces Nikon's Spot on, makes adjusting POA a breeze.

Just ordered a box, it said in stock.  We'll see if they ship.

I thought I had, but its a .45 http://clarksville.craigslist.org/spo/4789270548.html

I don't use it unless I need to upload a pic, but I dont like the feed either. I would rather it come up with a list.

Welcome to the site; never shot there, I usually shoot on my property but on occasion I shoot on post when I don't want to spook the deer and I need to zero something.

I hope you didn't lower it because you didn't serve; no need to. The military is not for everyone, and we need to have the homefront supported as well. At Rural King I was getting some fencing supplies and after I paid she said, next time you should ask for the military discount. I asked if she could just adjust it and she said no, ok I left. Couple days later I went for something else and was given the discount, a day after I went again and the cashier tells me they don't let new cashiers give a discount; Crazy place. A few places only give it to active duty, not retirees, it don't bother me either way. It usually doesn't amount to much, at least not enough to make a big deal about it, or lie to get it.

Had to look that one up, must be one of them $10 words I hear about. :huh:   Yea, many people seem to embellish their stories a bit, some more than others.  I blame the fishermen.

May not be flash, my tablet is an android and doesn't support all flash.  And it only happens on some vids and not others.    Yea, I got there just after the 3rd ID got there.  The Rangers have to go through Airborne School and Ranger Indoctrination Program (RIP) before they actually go through Ranger School for the tab.  Failing one or the other can get you washed out, along with other disciplinary reasons.  Of course Airborne School is also something that some units can send you to even though the unit itself is not Airborne, its mainly an additional skill type school not a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS).  As Riggers, we must be Airborne qualified before we go to our Advanced Individual Training (AIT) and we must stay on status or lose our MOS.  When stationed at Ft Bragg I was detailed out to Corp EDRE, which had us at Ft Stewart to activate the bases 18 hour deployment sequence at least once a year, sometimes twice.  That was where I first experienced a close encounter with the local alligators and swine.

I agree, I used mine for years. It is accurate but it is sensitive to airflow. I finally got an electronic one about three years ago when midsouth put them on sale. I think the electronic one is better since it has more features and has a tare funtion so you are not limited to the pan it comes with. But the lee one is good to start with if you dont want to spend alot right away.

I get the same thing on some of the videos, you on a tablet? I am on a samsung galaxy 10.1. Oh, and the Regiment is headquartered at Ft Benning, GA along with its 3rd Bn. I was stationed at HAAF, GA., technically assigned to the 3rd Infantry but supported and deployed with the 1st Rangers. Once I got assigned to Ft Campbell I supported all three BNs. Oh and so nobody gets the wrong idea, I was a Parachute Rigger, not Infantry.

If you have a choice, I would use bolts.  While Lags will work for a bit, MDF will sooner or later loosen up, specially with the humidity.  I would get you one of these: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/113651/lee-bench-plate-kit?cm_vc=ProductFinding So if and when you want to get another single press or other reloading component you can rotate them in and out easily.  The extra holes will allow you to use lag screws and distribute the stress out better than the presses 4 holes.  

Ok, I agree with the car part but there is a reason they pay the aircrew more to stay on than us to get off.  No such thing as a perfectly good airplane, remember going up is optional, going down is mandatory.

Just go to Harbor freight, much cheaper and almost as good. I have their 5lb brass tumbler and it works great. They also have a wet rotary tumbler if you decide to go with ss pins.

I will give this vet a pass, I dont know that I could of done much better in his situation. When you have friends die in combat, and you have this POS and many like him take their accolades for a measly 10% off their purchases and other monetary gains just pisses me off. While I was in uniform, and still, I would have people say "Thank you for your Service" and on a few occasions buy me my lunch before I could protest. I am always polite about it and acknowledge their thanks. But deep inside I kind of feel like poop, because I am home and many of my friends are not. And yes, I still shed a tear at Taps. These guys deserve much worse treatment!

Makes sense, this is an 80s model. I do have the powder measure, and it mounts on all my 3 die sets, its the FCD that is missing. But I mount it on my single stage for rifle rounds that I have one for. I get real good accuracy and performance out of all my pistol rounds without the FCD so probably ain't going to get one for those.

   I still think the warden was mistaken, according to this: http://www.tn.gov/twra/checkinplaceholder.html It all says that the app is sufficient, and then you only have to show proof while transporting the deer. Once it gets to your house and you have processed it, your done. If you leave it at a processor, then you have to leave them a copy to show if needed.

Well...I think I can add a third, maybe. After looking at the vid, it looks and acts differently than mine. Here is my old workhorse: Like it shows, mine is a three hole but maybe a classic too, just can't tell. They sell a four hole conversion but I have mostly 3 die sets so not looking to give myself the excuse to buy the missing 4th die and all new 4-hole turrets on all my sets.
