Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

I'm looking at a Remington 597 heavy barrel to replace my SA-22. Anyone have any opinions on it? Good or bad.

I went shopping for gun safes at Cabela's and Tractor Supply Co. over the weekend. Cabela's put out a bunch of factory 2nds for $799.99, which is about $100 or $200 off the normal price. They all had minor scratches, dents, or paint blemishes. And TSC had a Winchester 24-gun for $699.99 that I had my eye on. To be honest, I thought the Winchester was nicer than some of the similar-sized brand new safes at Cabela's, let alone the factory 2nds. It even comes with a door organizer.
Well, the Winchester went on sale for $649.99, so I decided to jump on it. I had to get a raincheck since they didn't have any in the back. But I should be able to pick it up in the next week or two. It'll be my first safe. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/stor...4-gun-capacity |

Haven't shot one of the 597s, but the heavy-barrel model looks good - this article likes 'em, a lot of the responses are from folks who have a beef - see what you think. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...-heavy-barrel/

Pretty cool option for the 17 WSM(IF the semi-auto doesn't have issues like 17 HSM did).

This looks like a fun little gun in a .17HMR. Anyone own any Alexander arms?

The 10 round mag works best with only 8 rounds in it,no problems with the 30 round banana mag. that all being said, it shoots circles around my 10/22,& Henry001. They made them for awhile in 17hmr then recalled them. id still like one in HMR edit/ if i was gonna lay out cash for a heavy B I would go with the 22mag

IMO, it comes down to what feels best in your hand. I actually went in the local shop to buy a 19, but came out with an XD. It just felt better to me. I don't think I handled a Gen 4 though...not sure how much different the ergonomics are than the previous models.

It's a nice safe. A buddy of mine got his at TSC on a Black Friday Deal. He seems to like it. I liked the multiple locking points. I actually bought a Stack On brand gun safe on Black Friday from Wal-Mart. I paid about $100 less, and we both liked it better, minus the multiple locking points.

Yeah, I took my 10/22 to my Dad's the other day and we plinked for a while. I kind of cringed with every POP though, knowing how hard it is to find right now.
