I would hesitate to put anything less than a Zeiss or a Steiner on that honey. Beautiful rifle.

My "go-to" scope brand though is Leupold. I wait 'til Midway puts one on sale in a range I can use.

my little brother recommended the viper, he has a few of them. i'm a leupold guy myself... love the carl zeiss lenses too. gotta find the mounts at a more reasonable price. the rifle is drilled and tapped, but 300$ for a couple ounces of machined steel is hurting my scope budget big time, lol.

If that's the actual gun, I don't think I'd change a thing. I definitely wouldn't put a 50mm objective scope on it, but that's just my aesthetic sensibilities

it's as close as i could find, but mine is prettier... damn near new condition. i'll get some pix up tonight. going to be shooting from 250-350 yards, and at dusk, so the 50mm will come in handy. damn fine shooting rifle, iron sights are dead nuts at 80 yards. 115gr, 2700fps ballistic tips from georgia arms. i plan on dropping the big ten point i've been feeding for two years and never shot at, lol. then this sweet machine will get a bath and massage before going in the safe to hibernate...

i definitely get the rolls royce analogy... she's almost too good to be true :bigjoint::hump::blsmoke:

my total gun count is 37, a lot of those being black powder revolvers and rifles. My current carry around gun is a Sig P320 9mm, prior to that I normally carried a Uberti SAA in single action. I do have a couple of actual antiques in that number, most notably 3 S & W breaktop .38's from the 1880-1890 period, a Hopkins & allen .32 breaktop from the same era, and a percussion long rifle that is a family heirloom from 1815. Came with my mom's family from Pendleton County, West Virginia, an original Evick rifle. And of course I have an AR. I'm retired Army, if they ever really need to, they have the option of recalling me. Odds of that happening, you probably won't have a country any more if it comes to that, lol!

from the CMP site today RE: 1911's

To all CMP constituents:

The CMP Board of Directors has discussed at length how the sales of 1911s would be handled, if the CMP were to ever receive them from the United States Army.

Some preliminary decisions:

1. Decisions concerning the grade and pricing of the 1911s will not be made until inspection has occurred of a substantial quantity which will take an estimated 150 days post receipt.

2. All laws pertaining to the sale of 1911s by CMP will be strictly obeyed.

3. Potential purchasers will have to provide to CMP a new set of documents exhibiting: 1) proof of U.S. Citizenship, 2) proof of membership in a CMP affiliated club, 3) proof of participation in a marksmanship activity, 4) a new form 2A with notary, 5) successful completion of a NICS background check, 6) a signed copy of the 01 Federal Firearms License in which the 1911 will be transferred to.

4. The CMP customer will be required to complete a form 4473 in person and successfully complete another NICS check by the recipient FFL holder before the pistol can be transferred.

5. Qualified CMP customer will only be allowed to purchase one 1911 per calendar year.

6. No 1911s available in the CMP stores, or on line, only mail order sales.

7. CMP will set the date in which it will accept orders for the 1911s. The date will be posted to the world.

8. Orders will only be accepted via mail order delivery.

9. Orders will only be accepted post marked on the date or after, no early orders.

10. Once CMP receives 10,000 orders, customer names will be loaded into the Random Number Generator.

11. The Random Number Generator will provide a list of names in sequence order through a random picking process to CMP.

12. Customers will be contacted in the sequence provided by the Random Number Generator.

13. When the customer is contacted a list of 1911 grades and pricing options that are available will be offered for selection of one.

14. As CMP proceeds down the sequenced list less grade and pricing options will be available. Again, this done completely random.

Howa is good for the money. Don't spend a whole lot on it. But the barrel is pretty true.

so if you had a choice of 2 identical AR's: one 223/5.56 vs 300B you'd take the blackout?
Click to expand...
good question, and i suppose the right answer is, depends.

i like 223 because its cheaper and easier to reload, but i like 300 because of ballistics.

what's your goal for purchasing/building, hunting? plinking? zombie protection?
