Yep. Just to keep this in line with the subject matter of firearms, that aforementioned beast of a rifle has an effective range of 1.1 miles (1,800 meters)!!

Something like that - one of my mates used to shoot for the Scottish Commonwealth squad, and I remember him saying owning a firearm - even a small-bore competition piece - was a complete nightmare

I think a fellow member M5Rick knows all about this.

Is it the Dragunov that’s the Russian equivalent, or is that a smaller bore weapon? I remember seeing that in “American Sniper” - another awesome film.

Try telling that to rabbits & crows. Fortunately we don’t get anything as pestilential as coyotes here. Even the foxes are semi-tame round our way

Barrett M82 is chambered in .50BMG and the Dragonov is Chambered in 7.62x54r. The .50BMG is a much larger round with a longer effective range. So I wouldn't consider them equivalent. You can just walk into a gun shop and purchase an M82 btw. There is one for sale at my local shop for roughly $10k.

Firearms in the hands of citizens is the only reason the U.S. has some semblance of a democracy/republic and freedom.

My SHTF firearms are always ready to go. This country is anything but stable right now. The world isn't stable either.
I just picked up a plate carrier & plates as well. Better to have it and not need it... |

I am not sure I agree, It depends what BMW you have whether that analogy works or not, and then the person could jump out the way and you trash your BMW even if it is a 320d. You have then not achieved your goal and out of pocket by a 320d

I prefer the Holosun red dots because the right model comes with solar power and shake awake. You grab the gun and it is on and I don't have to fiddle around with the batteries. On one gun I have an ATN IR scope and I can't stand it. I swear the batteries go dead on that while I am just walking across the farm. As far as scopes go, it really depends on what you are mounting it on and what are you using it for. You can drop thousands of dollars quickly on scopes. I have a Daniel Defense with a Vortex 1-8 Strike Eagle mounted on it. The DD is .556 and a 16" barrel. That makes for a nice combination. If you check gundeals.com you can usually find the Vortex with the mount for less than $400. |

Swiss Apple Store Culture
Anybody ever seen this? From the looks of the blue shirt clad folks in the background, I'd say the Swiss are cool with open carry in the Apple Store..
