So there I was watching Saving Private Ryan and im like...I need a Springfield 1903a3. May be the next buy gun wise.
M1 Garand first.
Get it from the CMP.
I've looked at all those. I will not buy or trust Keltec or Taurus, and the bodyguard .380 would be at the top of my list if it didn't have a safety and an exposed hammer. As for the LCP, it's sold out everywhere locally.
The shop I worked at had at least 25 LCP in stock at a time, with and without crimson trace/Laser lyte from factory.
I agree its the best, the bodyguard is more solid and has real sights, but they're still too small to use and its a point and shoot belly gun. I hate the laser activation on the BG380.
why do rounds do this? i notiiced a had a few in my box of tulane (sp?) russian ammo from wal mart...
what would you recommend as far as a scope (what do you use for 100 yards?), or bigger mags?
also, what would a bipod run me, and are they easily detachable?
thanks
I must be lucky, but I only shoot shitty ammo and NEVER have FTF/FTE in my AR, Glock, XD, 1911...
Harris bipods are by far the nicest but you will pay for it. I have one and love it. I would get the 6 inch closed that goes to 9 inch fully extended, you wont need any bigger and any smaller wont let you shoot from a bench with a 30rd mag in because the mag will hit.
For a scope, 3-9x40 is the all around BEST mag choice, notice how I said all around. If you're trying to shoot 100 yards and see the holes, youll probably have to go bigger, but you should have a nice spotting scope for that on a NICE tripod next to you.
Redfield has GREAT glass, its a less expensive Leupold. If you can, VX3 Leupold 3-9x40 is great as well. Don't get a 50 objective, its too big and a bitch to mount low on most firearms.
I personally think that Leupold is the best for the money, but I have shot the Nikon Pro staff, buckmark and Mark AR series and they're great as well.
I also bought a $50 scope from cabelas, comes with a lifetime warranty, and shot the shit out of it (it held zero and was clear) then when it broke a few months later I returned it for a new one. I've done that twice and still only spent $50.
It comes down to being relative to what you personally can afford and what you put into the rifle.
I'm confident that at 50-100 yards, with my rifle, I could shoot just as well with a Truglo 3-9x40 as I could with a Nightforce 9-18x50.
I forgot about rings, buy nice rings no matter what, I believe they're equally as important if not more important as the scope, if it doesn't hold well its probably the rings failure, not the glass.
Rant over.
