Thanks but that same price as on the manufacturer's website.

Unfortunately that's not the right one I've tried ordering that one twice on Amazon and they don't work - note there's a number difference in the model number on the link I provided.

he Leupold VX6 1-6 Multigun scope takes a specific throw lever:
http://www.mgmswitch...55sv-switchview
Apparently MGM is the only company that makes a throw lever for this scope. Anyone have a source to buy one of these OTHER than directly from MGM? They seem to be discounted quite a bit from many sources (like Amazon) but no one but MGM themselves seems to carry this specific model. Any help?

Very creative solutions guys!
The one problem I see (theoretically) with the orange cart solution is the muzzles of your rifle and shotgun aren't pointed at the ground like they are with the stroller solution.

Here is the progress so far. A razor knife, some Rustoleum, and a couple of beers later
Now I'm just waiting on Amazon to send my racks. 
Looking good!

Yep, it has a tray and a cupholder under the canopy. More pics to come in the next few days.
Cool! Good luck on the project!

Does CO allow for any trigger work/modification? Would my Apex trigger on the below gun be OK? If I load my 12 round magazines with 10 rounds, am I rules compliant?
No, the trigger change isn't authorized. (same rules as production). The rules allow internal modification but nothing that is visible from the outside.
In the name of all that's holy, WHY?!?!? Look, if you're trying to attract guys that carry guns with optics, you can bet the most of these guys (like myself) are going to have modified triggers. Understand that many, if not most of CCW folks who have an optic on their gun do NOT do so because they have poor eyesight. Most do it because they want the best possible tool money can buy in a life or death situation. If a guy is going to spend the jack for an optic, he'll spring for a better trigger too...
Oh well...maybe when the Sig P320 RX comes out and I pick one up, I'll reconsider trying USPSA...

Well, I got the project started today. I picked this up for $30Another great article. I've only shot one match so far and I already have a CL ad up looking for a stroller....
Let us know how that project turns out!
Looks nice! I can't tell because the canopy is in the way - cupholders?

John, thanks for the thoughts about the competition guns. I looked at Colt Competition's website and I don't see anything on their site talking about the new Gen 2 rifle. I did send them an email and asked about the rifle. I tried to find a YouTube video on the Gen 2 and there was nothing that I found. Very little information available on that rifle.My first recommendation is to buy the JP15. You will thank me later. If you really can't stretch the budget, buy a JP15 upper and throw it in a complete lower. As you have money, upgrade the trigger and stock. The JP15 as I would configure it is $2059. If you are military or LE you can trim that down further.
If JP would offer their discount to Certified NRA Instructors (as most manufacturers do) then I definitely would have gone with JP. But I ended up going with my 2nd choice, which is the Colt Competition CRP-18. They've made some nice changes in the 2016 model:
I'm really excited to get it (order placed, should be about 30 days). I'm sure eventually I'll change a few things on it, but it should provide a great place to start, and a nice upgrade from the Colt 6940P I'm currently using.
It seems like the do-it-yourself crowd just can't fathom why others don't build. There's many legitimate reasons as to why not to build (not the least of which being time) so why waste digital ink trying to convince someone to build? I don't get that.
Tell me more about that rail system. It looks like it is a modular rail. Are the mounting sections proprietary? It's not M-Lok, nor KeyMod. Love that the rifle comes standard with a G SSA-E for a trigger.
Official thank you for all of your help.
You are correct in that they don't have any information on the website yet don't know why.
Actually the hand guard is M-Lock per the spec sheet. They had to drop the G SSA-E in favor of a CMC trigger. Cited problems with unintended double fires.
I'll be doing a photo and video review of mine once I get it.

Because it's cheaper and you get a better overall rifle
But the buy off the rack guys/gals don't understand until they spend double the money to get their gear set up properly.
But try and grasp the concept that not everyone has the time, patience, or mechanical aptitude to build an AR. Some of us will gladly take a debatable incrementally lesser rifle for more money. If you have time, patience, or mechanical aptitude, good on you. Some of us struggle just to find time enough to shoot.
My gun smith charges $50 to put an upper together. I get the parts, he builds it to spec. I'm still money ahead.
Congratulations. Again a good and trusted gunsmith the charges below market rates is not a resource that everyone has in their hip pocket.

No docked tails on the Rotts anymore?
In the US (and Canada), yes. Most of the rest of the world follows the FCI standard which calls for a natural tail. Since the breed is from Germany, we raise them according to the FCI standard.
Egad! I've hijacked/drifted my own thread!

That is awesome. Great looking dog

Thanks. Too many expensive and time-consuming hobbies. [emoji849][emoji12]

Cool. I try and make it up there when I can. Great compact shooting area and the stages are different every time. I live down in Mason. Have you gone to the Clinton county farmers and sportsman association 3 gun match on Sundays? I think the next one is on the 10th

I haven't made it up to the CCFA match yet - I'm hoping to this year. I do IPO/Shutzhund with my Rottweiler Zeus and am typically at the club all day Sunday.

That range looks like The one north of Dayton. Is that a Miami valley steel shooters match?

It is indeed.

Very nice on my list for next year.

Good article. I purchased a used 3-wheel stroller from a store that carries used baby-related merchandise (nice, well-built one for $50). I ordered two brackets from Rugged Gear (they sell the mounting--butt stock brackets separately and they fit on most buggies). Basically remove unnecessary items and tweak some stuff and they work well.
Thank!
The Rugged Gear mounts look a little pricier ($15.00 more each) than the Kolpin grips. I don't supposed you've compared them? Do the Rugged Gear mounts offer any advantages for the extra money?

Good write up. I don't believe it's the first time I've seen it though. I've been doing research into range carts and your page came up in my search.
I'll be patient for a time and watch yard sales; that time of the year is coming for Maine. When I lose patience I'll probably either buy a range cart or buy a baby buggy. The quality of what you bought is good?
I first posted the article to my website on Friday, March 26th so perhaps you did your search in the last week? I made a couple of changes before posting it here today.
I certainly have no complaints about quality from either the jogging stroller or the grips/mounts which support the long guns. Everything looks like it will hold up a really long time. We'll see.

Good write up, thanks!
Much appreciated!

I tried the cart route but unfortunately the first match where I used it was very dusty and it left my guns exposed. By the end of the day my shotgun was not running as a result of all of the dust collected. The gun racks went back to Amazon and it picked up a bag instead so that my guns can be kept more out of the elements between stages.
Interesting. Where do you typically shoot? Your profile indicates you're from Springfield, VA - I wouldn't guess that a match in VA would be all that dusty. Sounds like more of a problem out West.
Now I'm just waiting on Amazon to send my racks. 
3GN Classification?
in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
Posted · Edited by RolexJohn
I'm trying to understand the Classification System.
I was under the impression you need to shoot a minimum number of qualifying matches to get a classification. But I know some shooters who have shot a lot of matches and are still listed as "unclassified." So I'm confused as to how one gets classified in 3GN? Thanks for any assistance.
