I own one of the Bushnells, an Aimpoint CompML3, and an Eotech 512 (and a few others). My favorite AR sight is the Eotech. Again... personal preference. There's no better sight picture than the Bushnell, but it doesn't look as cool on the rifle. The Eotech has a wide field of view, and that's a big deal to me.

Here's the deal, and it is personal choice. That optic is too long to leave room for a typical flip-up backup sight. Personally, I won't have a rifle that requires you to remove the optic to deploy the backup sight. You may not know the optic is dead until you're setting up for a shot. FWIW, the sight is marked with white dots. It ain't as crappy as it looks in the picture.

Well, if you're gonna shoot yourself, a .380 is probably one of the best choices

One of out TGO brothers did the same thing awhile back, just not in a public parking lot. Shot a hole in his britches, but didn't break the skin.

It's Ambien. I've taken it before. Give it to all of them. It either works, or it doesn't.

All he had to say was, "I was holstering my pistol, and shot myself". Bullet trajectory should make that obvious. Would that even require a police report? It's also possible that he didn't even require medical attention.

I let my friends handle my firearms.

Nice collection of stuff. Welcome to TGO!

Yeah. I was referring to the iron sights on top. Real different optic.

If it was my place, I would try some kind of "No Open Carry" sign first. It IS his place, and he gets to make the rules. Most likely, he will get the desired results. I would think that if he has to ask someone to leave for ANY reason (loud cursing, throwing mashed potatoes, scaring the sheeple with an exposed hogleg), the cops would come to his aid if the person didn't comply.

Yes.

Currently banned as well.

One of our lawyers may jump in and ask again... What damages?

Not a good idea. You just need to look around and see what they're bringing.

That's the beauty of a .243. You can use light varmint bullets, and get real close to a .204 Ruger, or go heavier and you're good for deer. A .243 is a necked down .308, so it has plenty of smoke behind it. It won't do everything, but it swings pretty wide. That's why I would stick with it instead of the 6.8 in a bolt gun.

In a 700, I would keep the .243. More flexible, and more power.

To each his own. Bushnell stole the idea from these folks... TA01NSN Trijicon ACOG 4x32 .223 Rifle Scope -

I have one too, but it never lived on a rifle very long. Sight picture thru the optic is GREAT. Dont know if I ever tried the irons, but think they're probably real prictical on a flat top AR. The sight is kinda big and heavy, but works real well. I just wound up going the aimpoint and eotech route before I got to shoot with it very much.

HUGE privacy issues there. The gov already knows I have guns. The TBI had my SSN memorized by last year.

That's the way I look at it. But, some folks are just dying to get hit on the head with a stick, whether they realize it or not.

Yep. The open carry debate is like the "should she shave it or not" debate. It goes on forever

And, I was worried that nobody would pick up the Mac torch after I dropped it. Carry on, my brother

The have the right to ask, but will lose ALL of my respect when they do.

If my doctor believes that that kind of information is useful to do their job, then I will realize that my doctor is an incompetent idiot, and change doctors. So... it doesn't really matter how I respond.

Duh. Meant lyman electronic scales are the least reliable. Get RCBS
