  1. I picked up a Remy 700 sps Tactical and I need suggestions on decent glass. I don't plan on competing but I'd like to be able to play out to 600 and hunt with the rifle too. I've never done any long range shooting and I want to learn how to use a mildot reticle (I think). I know the mantra is buy once, cry once but I'm not gonna spend a lot on this project. I really want to spend less than $500.

    I really like Burris Black Diamond line of scopes. They also have a lifetime warranty.

  2. The only hinderance I can see is that some piston ARs are bulkier than others. I think POF pistons are a little bulkier than the LWRC or LMT pistons.

    Otherwise I don't really see a hinderance, I don't really see an advantage either. If you are doing it for sponsorship, then you should go for it. What type of piston AR are you thinking of running?

  3. "Some of the older lots of 262 had cannelured bullets."

    Two versions of the round have been procured to date. Initial production runs, designated Mark 262 Mod 0, lacked a cannelure. Subsequent production, designated Mk 262 Mod 1, added a cannelure to the bullet to improve seating in the cartridge case.

    Definitely Sierra.

  4. You can get two rifles for the cost of an M1A or AR-10.

    If you do a little shopping, and are not afraid to build an AR, one can be had for 750. As for a hunting rifle, Tikka's can be had for 500 bucks. Bringing your total to 1250. I think street price for the M1A and the AR-10 is around this price.

    I vaguely remember CMMG having some bargain ARs, or maybe it was Buds Gun Shop.

  5. Pharmacist--the current degree is PharmD. You can enter this program right out of high school, and it typically takes 6 years straight. Average starting pay is 100K.

    Engineering--One of the biggest engineering related fields will be Nuclear. Good alternatives include of civil and mechanical.

    Software engineer/computer programmer--although many of these positions have shipped overseas, there is still a need for them in the US. Someone has to be able to evaluate overseas work product. Many companies are still hiring US based programmers.

    I am in favor of military experience, but I think it definitely should be done once a bachelors degree has been obtained. Again, police and fire are also attractive, but a bachelors degree prior to that is really important as well.

    BidDave and Jake also have very good points.

  6. This is interesting because two distributors appear to have all versions of the Glock 20 in stock. Davidsons and Bill Hicks Co. Maybe you should ask your dealer to order from one of the aforementioned. Or, you can visit the Davidsons website (www.galleryofguns.com) and order it yourself with shipment to a local dealer.

    Good luck with your purchase. I am currently trying to convince myself that I DO NOT need another Glock.

  7. I think the limcat website is permanently down. It has been down for the past year. You might want to check with Speed Shooters in California. They usually have a limcat in stock, and can probably put you into contact with Limcat.

    I have some experience with the SVI custom shop. I have an open and limited pistol from them. I highly recommend them. Their guns are quite nice and their customer service is excellent!!!
