I’m going to get into long guns soon or just guns with 3 points of contact in general.

Whenever it comes to the conversation of barrel length, the main points/arguments I always see being made are about effectiveness at range. Shorts barrels suck blah blah.

My question is, what barrel lengths are peoples default, and how far of a defensive shot do you think you’ll actually HAVE to take as a civilian? How far do you NEED a rifle caliber to be useful out to?

I hear people say a gun is useless/bad because of its ballistics at an absurd range like 400-800 yards. Could this be LARP? Or just personal preference?

Seems like a lot of FFLs are running deals for them for under $2k, especially in 5.56. Were they just not selling, having issues or is a Gen 2 maybe about to drop?

Was offered it in a trade

Hi-Point CF380.
Never thought they were legal in my state cause of the Saturday Night Special law… so when I saw one at LGS for the first time ever I decided yolo

Foxtrot mike products, Mike-102 16f, side fold rifle. Picked this up on Friday, attached the afg from Magpull, random vertical grip, budget red dot. Went to the range Sunday, had a blast. Love the side fold, barrel quality, overall compactness, full top rail, index tab handguard, 7 sided M-lok, forward charging handle, and ejection port cover. The safety is left and right handed, polymer lever. Magazine well accepts ak556 magazines, they recommend AC unity, and circle 10 (some others may fit). Really want the slap mod handgaurd, makes the forward charging handle into something like the MP5 or G3 bolt lock back.

Friend brought a Sub2000, he said the Mike-102 recoil may be less than his Keltec. Went through about 150 rounds. This rifle is rad, love the controls, the feel, the low recoil, the adjustable side folding stock, love it. 10 out of ten would buy another.

Does it hold up compared to the 2 most reliable pistols on the market?

I just got my new Ruger 10/22 and took it to the range today to try it out. I'm loving it, but I noticed it shoots a bit high and to the right, using CCI standar velocity 40gr and also RWS club 40gr. I'm shooting at a target 50m away (almost 55 yards for my American brothers, I'm from Spain) with iron sights and just putting the gun over a table, no bipod or anything.

My question is how do I zero my iron sights (I heard that 20 yards is the best), since I'm somewhat new to this kind of rifles. Thank you in advance and any suggestions are welcomed.

By the way, I also bought a 25 magazine, the BX-25. I heard mixed opinions about it's reliability, but I will see when they arrive.

It's a pistol. That also holds 50 rounds...

This thing shoots amazing, 200 rounds of various grains after a quick lube out of the box..no problem so far.

Shoots fast and flat.

Hi, so my boyfriend's birthday is coming up and he recently bought his first gun (Glock 48... I think?). If it's not obvious I know next to nothing about guns but they are something he's really into, he's going to school for forensics and criminal justice so guns are just part of his day to day. I'm not comfortable buying ammo or new modifications for the gun bc I don't know much but I want to get him something he can use. Any ideas are helpful, I've been looking at a range bags and ammo boxes but I'm not sure how helpful those are, please give any feedback! Thank you

Building my own ought six, interested in what you guys are running. Primarily hunting black bear in the pnw, but I’ll have a spike elk tag in my pocket as well. Curious to see what you all think/run.

Mossberg Mavericks are going for $250+ these days. Would y’all recommend any particular brand sub $250 or should I just go used?

Thanks!

Just curious—which of these two reticles do you guys prefer: the clean circle-dot or the one with cross marks? I’m leaning toward the cross-marked one because my eyes seem to pick it up more easily, but that may just be personal preference. Is there any practical difference between them?

Just inherited this. Did some research and……with these markings, very very interesting

I’m looking to get rid of this old Mossberg but I don’t know what it’s worth. I haven’t seen many exactly like this one and I’m not completely sure what is at the end of the barrel. Please help!

Still havent decided on the pistol grip and would like to perhaps stain or paint the upper handguard to match. Threw a CV Life bipod on the front for a mockup of placement but I intend to put a Harris bipod in its place.

Probably going to eventually put a 308 brake in place of the flash hider but for now it will work to sight it (and be slightly less obnoxious indoors).
