    I have ~1,000 rounds through my PPS M1 and have enjoyed it quite a bit. It has been accurate enough for me and has only had 1 malfunction when I first took it to the range. I haven't shot the other...

    I think the best coffee that I've made myself was in an insulated French press, where I controlled the temperature and ground my own beans (not a burr grinder though). While it was good coffee, the...

    Any thoughts on a bolt action in 17 hmr? Although the ammo is about 2x as expensive as 22LR, it does have at least twice the range.

    I bought my kid a 15-22, but since he is only 2 years old, I'll...

    The CSAT standards were pretty much driving my rifle range sessions. I just ran each one until I could meet the standard a few times in a row and then called it a day.

    I'm almost to that conclusion on the bolt gun, and fortunately I don't have too many $$ sunk into 6.8 since I decided to spend some money on parts that could go in any direction (223/300blk/6.8/etc).

    I have been on the road to 6.8 for a while now, and this thread has me reconsidering that decision.

    My purpose was un-suppressed use in a 16" barrel (i.e., 300BLK was ruled out as a result) for...

    I don't think 6.5G has anywhere near the market support that 6.8SPC or 300BLK has, not to mention ammo availability. Sure you can find the stuff, but options are much more limited than they are with...

    My 2007 Chevy Silverado burns oil and apparently the amount it burns is within the limits of acceptability for GM. That is the first vehicle I've owned that burned oil (out of 9 vehicles).

    Is there any significant difference between those and the TCI models (made by Sordin)? They claim "Environmental standards and performance exceed Supreme and Pro-X", but who knows.
