  1. Make sure you keep that thing pointed downrange. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen
  2. Todd, Don't worry about the nose of the bullets effecting accuracy. It is the back of any bullet that has the most effect. The back end is the last part that touches the crown of the barrel. Look at most hollow points how un even they are and yet most good brand h.p.'s will give very good accuracy. The back of hp's when made have a near perfect back end because of how they leave the mold. Long range rifle bullets almost always are hp's because of this process. Just for fun, mess up the nose of some known loads you use. See if they group any different than your normal ones. Have fun.
  3. It does not. Sorry, Thought you meant un-capped turrets.
  4. Why the hell would they have non capped turrets? Not many if any dial for 3gun type targets. Not good for barrel dumps in 3gun. I will stay with my 1x6 Vortex Razor.
  5. Sarge, it does not matter how you feel, or if you did it on purpose, if your weapon causes damage, it is your fault, and you where negligent. The only way for a weapon to cause damage to persons or property is for one or more of the cardinal rules of firearm safety to be violated. The argument that guns are subject to accidental discharge is flawed, guns do not go off by accident. Even the mechanical failures listed in this thread are not accidents, someone must first charge a weapon for it to be subject to a failure, and loading a weapon can only indicate an intent to discharge it. If it goes off because of mechanical failure or operator error makes no difference, it is still the responsibility of the user to control the weapon to avoid causing unwanted damages. Allowing a weapon that is under your control to point at a person or object that you do not wish to destroy is negligent, weapons do no not point themselves, they do nothing without input from the user, the responsibility must be placed on the user. If you feel that guns are subject to going off at random times and in random directions outside the control of the user, you would be just as negligent for operating a device that you knew to be a hazard. You can not undo a gunshot, if you are not willing to accept the full responsibility for each and every bullet then you should not control a firearm. RIGHT F___ING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. if it's USPSA, DQ per 10.4.5. i watched nils retrieve his shotgun at the 2015 mg nationals and blow a chunk of the table off. was dq'd and reinstated cause at the time there was no rule to cover it-but there is now. (MG 10.4.6) Sometimes it depends on who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If that is not un safe gun handling I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have to have a rule that if you blow the table apart it is a DQ? Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Now that's funny.What's funny? The fact that a smooth bore shotgun shooting a foster type slug is capable of shooting groups at 100 yds and be able to tell if it is an inch low. If true, that gun is one in a million.
  8. If it is rifle with a rail, take a straight edge like a 12" wooden ruler, or better yet a small torpedo level, place it on the rail in front of or behind the scope. If the scope is a variable, put it on it's lowest power. look through the scope. Level the cross hair or windage marks with the top of the straight edge. Works the best if you have the rifle in a rest or some sort of off the shoulder position. When using the bubble on a level I have found that a very slight reading of the bubble makes a lot of difference in the cant of the scope. Also most levels will read different from each other. I have had levels that read different when turned around so what way do you believe? Works for me.
  9. I guess that means you "helped" out one of those lonely mothers. Nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Sounds like a crown problem. I have had known barrels arrive with bad crowns. Cleaned them up and the problem went away.
  11. For me it gives me some feed back shooting steel challenge matches. Exactly. Waiting to hear the 'ding' is very slow. You should be calling your shots. Being 75 years old eliminates many things I used to do so I need all the feed back I can get. You young wipper snappers will know what I mean if you shoot long enough.
  12. Does the bolt have a extractor on both sides? I seem to remember that the original DPMS had two of them. I also remember that they had a problem going into battery and would blow out the extractor. I also remember they had a problem with the case not being supported. That also led to bad things happening.
  13. Thanks for the information, Now to choose.
  14. For me it gives me some feed back shooting steel challenge matches.
  15. Like it said, Looking for the best muffs to hear hits on steel. Need something better than my Howard Lieghts.
  16. Yea right, Move and leave family, friends, your job, your wife's job, the school your kids are in and everything you have ever known to put more shells in a shotgun. Or for any other reason for that matter. Not easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try it sometime
