Re: The Gun Thread
 

I'm not going to shoot at 100yds very often, maybe a couple times a year. The reason I gave that number was just for max distance. The events I want to attend are usually shot at a closer range (25-50yds) with simulated small targets for longer ranges.

I was looking briefly at the 22 WMR, hadn't really considered a 17 HMR before. I know ammo is more, but how much more? I guess I could do some research to find out how much, the gun price is basically identical between the different rounds. The main reason for going with .22LR was mostly for convenience when I'm shooting with others.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Good .17HMR ammo is 10-12$ for 50rds vs. good 22LR which is 5-7$ for 100rds

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I had the opportunity to fart around with one of the smith and wesson m&p 15-22's, and it def was a fun little .22. AR feel (not identical, but they designed it to operate similar to an AR), and go for around $300, I have seen a few lightly used ones for around that. The one cool thing about those, is accessories are easily added, just like an AR, and of course the cheap ammo cost. I wouldn't mind getting one just to shoot for fun, but talked myself into getting something a little bigger.

Right, 13" drop if you hold the barrel at 90*. Since nobody does this, you won't have 13" drop. Even that chart, indicated by "path in." shows 4.74" of drop when zeroed at 59 yards.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

That's true. And if you zero it at 100 yards then there's zero drop!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Yes but shooting the gun level yields the 13" drop at 100 the yards. But when you site in your gun at 100 yards you are aiming 13" above the target, thus no drop but anything less then 100I yards will be high.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

... Which would be why you zero for 50 and you'll be ~4" low at 0 and ~4" high at 100.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

haha ZING!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

So you do understand the chart. I am not a big gun guy, there for I sit this one out.

Put together my lower tonight, a Spikes receiver and parts kit. Saving up to purchase a PSA upper next paycheck, should be able to start shooting next year.

Re: The Gun Thread

Re: The Gun Thread

Was digging through one of my old hard drives for good pics for my Iraq tattoo and found this:

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Mmmmm.....god damnit Kevin. I've been eyeing up saigas lately, and that thing makes me want one bad. You and Jordan the tuner are bad influences haha.

I'll be buying something fun sometime soon. Going to get an AR15, and either a pistol (glock most likely), or maybe one of those keltec ksg shotguns...they look sort of fun :)

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Hot Round! :lol:


Doooo It! You can find Saiga 12's without the side rail for $499 from time to time again

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Also looking at starting up a NFA trust (Neither new CLEO in Anoka Co. will sign form 1's)

I can check if the lawyer will do a group deal if anyone's interested?

Re: The Gun Thread
 

DAs and judges are also considered CLEOs if you have any friends in high places.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Also CLEO sign offs will be going away hopefully within a year if you're not in a rush.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Yep, they can sign off too but I'm sick of having to wait on them for every fun purchase.

The only way the Cleo sign off is going to dissapear is when you can no longer own title II weapons :lol:
