300blk
I’m thinking of getting a 300 blackout and suppressing it. Does anyone know if 300 blackout is good? I don’t know anyone that has one.

If I bought an AK-47 or AK74, what would its current price be? Because there are different prices everywhere.

What scope are you using with your Ruger Precision Rimfire ?
Hi folks, looking for advice on which scope to buy for my Ruger precision rimfire rifle. I would like to have a little bit of extra magnification so I can see the tiny bullet holes at hundred meters. Would love to hear what you are using. TIA

What makes the AR-15 so much deadlier and more powerful than any other semi-automatic rifle?

Isn't .223 considered a varmint round?

.22 LR insert for 7.62x54R ?
I have a double 16ga shotgun + 7.62x54R rifle combo.
Of course there are .22 LR inserts for the 16ga - but at the risk of sounding silly, how about the 7.62 ?
I understand there is only about 8/100” of an inch to work with, so I’m thinking probably not - but maybe someone has seen this. It would make the perfect squirrel hunting gun to backup my double 16ga with a .22LR for making occasional long shots.

Opinions on premium AR15s for special purpose
Howdy, long story short I have extreme weakness in my arms and hand and was curious about getting an AR15 for range target shooting. My preference is for light weight, light smooth trigger, light and oversized controls. Basically just something that's very comfortable and easy to use. I'd be shooting at 100m and 400m targets standing, at bench, and prone; mostly standing. I'm also looking for something with a lightweight suppressor and a length of around 14.5 inches without suppressor or 16 inch with. 55.6 ammo.
I won't say price no object but under $5000 is fine. I'm looking for premium quality and ease of use. Ideally something that's just fun to shoot and doesn't need a lot of maintenance or fiddling with. Will be for recreation.
I'll also get opinions from my local FFL and gun enthusiast friends but figured I'd see what Reddit has to say.
I have only shot a simple 22 so I have very little experience. I also have no brand loyalty and don't really care about mil spec or branding or non-tangibles.
I just want to be able to handle and shoot it easily without much trouble and accurately hit 100m and 400m with some minor scope adjustments. Suppressor is personal preference.
From my online research I got a short list of ideas:
- CK-Pro | Cobalt Kinetics
- DD4 V7 SLW RATTLECAN ARID LIMITED EDITION
- SR15 E3 Carbine MOD 2 M-LOK - Knight's Armament
- Battle-Light SYN-COR 5.56 NATO - Nemo Arms
I know there's other good brands for less but I don't mind paying a premium for a better experience for my situation. I also won't put a ton of rounds through it. Just an occasional range day for fun. So extreme durability isn't a main concern compared to comfort and enjoyment. Also don't require ambidextrous controls but it's fine if it has them.
Let me know what you think would work best and why. I looked at several other brands but found some issues with them like LMT being heavier overall than other options. No brand loyalty or brand avoidance. Starting fresh.

Winchester Model 70
Looking at new rifles. Always loved the look of the model 70s. Everyone says buy pre-64. What about them makes them so much more desirable?
I also noticed newer models are referencing “pre-64 action” and/or “pre-64 style controlled round feed with claw extractor.” Would that be as good or should I be looking for an old rifle?

Brand new .22 savage 64fxp has the bolt jamming. The ejection spring is catching on the face of the bolt.
I just bought it yesterday. It jammed after 3 shots. Kinda sucks.not sure what to do. I’ve read the magazine can jam while feeding in older models not this issue though. What do u do?

.270 Win vs 30-06 Spr
Hi all, I'm sure this debate has been brought up here before and will again, but I'm too lazy to find it 😁
I currently deer/coyote hunt with a bolt action 6.5 Grendel. It's a short, handy rifle that's great for both my home state of VT and the thick woods of western PA where I live now. I will definitely keep this rifle, but would like to pick up a new one for deer hunts in other places and some potential western hunts in the works. (Mule deer certainly, elk and pronghorn possibly.)
I've read so many stats and articles that my eyes may be permanently glazed over, but eventually narrowed my selection of cartridge down to .270 win and 30-06. My reasoning is basically every reason why anyone would pick one of the two: ammo available, cost, nostalgia, etc. However, I can't seem to make the final decision. I like the ammo versatility of the '06, but I think I would be more comfortable shooting for longer times on the range with the .270. I'm not particularly recoil sensitive, but no one likes a sore shoulder.
So, please, help me decide, or recommend other rounds you think are superior. Appreciate the feedback!

Blued or bare steel scope?
So, I've had this old Winchester Woodsmaster and I have a kinda crappy scope on it. And I have been thinking about replacing it. But I really want to match the finnish on the rifle, and I can't find any scopes that are not matte black. Would yall have any good recommendations or leads?

Browning Medallion 270 WN
Left handed, Bolt Action, purchased in 1998 for $1100.00 used from my brother and since then has not been used, it is in very good good condition and has Simmons 3X10 Scope. it is already been set to shoot Bullseye. I did try to sell it on Guns.com but their offer was far to low, any suggestion? I can send more photo id needed.

Decent low cost rifle sling
So I have to do a bulk purchase of about 15 rifle singles but can’t afford to do $75-$100 slings and at the same time don’t want to get cheap $12 Amazon slings.
Does anyone know of any decent quality 2 point quick detach slings in the $25-$40 range?

collapsible stock rattles/wobbles, does it matter or is it a way to fix it?
