    Army Awards NGWS to Sig.

    thinking this is one big boondogle not so good rifle and an unproven cartridge if memory serves they wanted a round at 3000 fps that would penetrate the new body armor by Sigs own numbers this thing won't do it especially out of a short barrel with a suppressor what a waste of tax payer money...

    recommendation for a new 308 long range bolt action

    I'm sure your right about Bergara but I personally don't know anyone who owns one non of the local gun shops have one in stock so that's a blind alley for me Tikka on the other hand is a known rifle I know people who own them I've shot them there in the stores there owned by Sako and Beretta so...

    recommendation for a new 308 long range bolt action

    so feeling the need for a new bolt gun really would prefer another Remmy 700 with a 26" barrel and 1 in 10 twist but they don't make 1 anymore called them to see if they would rebarrel a 243 700 that I rarely ever shoot they were not interested called Hart to have them rebarrel but it's a...

    New cartridge for US military

    well lets see too powerful the FN Fal was carried by a whole lot of people for a lot of years and is still being used around the world so maybe the US Army should just man up I have my doubts that the 556 will penatrate armore at long range better than the 762 be that as it may an unproven case...

    New cartridge for US military

    well never cared for the 556 any way but if memory serves the 7.62 will defeat body armor pretty well and we and NATO probably have billions and billions of it on hand it doesn't need a special case and will get the job done seems to me that would be the most cost effective way to go buy a new...
