Just pulled the trigger (heh) and bought my first big boy rifle off gunbroker. A PTR-91 GIR. Guess I should probably find an FFL sometime today??

What's a good optic for a PTR 91? I've always thought eotech stuff was cool but I looked at the prices and gently caress that. $300 (or less preferably!) is about as high as I'd like to go unless it's absolutely worth spending more.

FastestGunAlive posted:What are you looking for in an optic? Trying to push the range? Mid-range? Up close? I dunno because I don't have an optic for mine, but what you're looking for willc hange the advice given Mid-to close range I'd say. Probably closer to mid.

The Rat posted:In that price range, for that kind of gun, I'd go with a Vortex Strike Eagle myself. Ordered one of these from Brownells last night with a cantilever mount included for $330 total, and free shipping. Pretty sweet deal.

The Rat posted:Let us know how you like it once you get it!  It seems pretty sweet! Haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet, or without it for that matter. I've never mounted a scope before, does this look about right or should it be farther forward? Still roomy enough to not interfere with the charging handle but if it has to go more than about one notch forward it might get a little cramped.

 Got the muzzle brake and wide handguard installed yesterday. Took it out and put 40 rounds through it. Tons of fun to shoot! I like the vortex strike eagle a lot, thanks for the recommendation guys.

FastestGunAlive posted:I always buy whatever is cheapest off gunbot and I've never had an issue with mine. Still quite accurate as well. I'm gonna be stealing your scope soon. I'm on the prowl for decently priced green furniture but I doubt that will ever happen OD green is really cheap from RobertRTG I think, not sure about tropical. The wide handguard is harder to find but Numrich arms has them in stock for $80. edit: Full OD green furniture set for $13 http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/G3-GERMAN-OD-GREEN-SURPLUS-STOCK-SET-25p2135.htm OD green wide style handguard for $80 https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/985470.htm Also I just realized the indoor range near my house doesn't allow ammo that attracts a magnet...like the 500 rounds I just bought  Maybe I can convince them it's ok since it's not actually steel cored? my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Feb 25, 2017 |

Diarrhea Elemental posted:If they're not dicks, just pulling the bullet out of the round should be good. It's a state owned range so I'm not particularly hopeful about them being flexible but the people I talked to there did seem very chill so we'll see I guess! There's not actually any reason that bimetal bullets would be worse for backstops than regular copper fmj right? Like the mild steel jacket isn't going to help it pierce more than copper and the magnet test is just to find steel cored bullets that might actually gently caress up the backstop?

madeintaipei posted:I seem to remember a Russian speaking goon translating a Soviet analysis on bear attacks in which a firearm was used (successfully or not). I think it was broken down by caliber of weapon used (a fairly useful metric in the USSR), how many rounds expended, and if the defense was "successful". The most used round, with the most rounds fired, was the 7.62x38Rmm Nagant cartridge. The M1895 revolver was by far the most common gun chambered in 7.62x38Rmm, with the military loading around as powerful as .32 H&R Magnum. I'm thinking of an old joke, "What did the Australian triple amputee have to say about great white sharks?" "Go for the eyes, mate, go for the eyes!" You can use a .22 if you just hit the bear in the eyes

Dead Reckoning posted:The absolute best was that one of the data points was a bear shot with 35 rounds of 7.62×25mm Tokarev. 35 is the exact number of rounds in a PPSh stick mag, and there aren't a lot of other firearms in that caliber. Someone was rolling around Siberia with a WWII SMG as an anti-bear weapon and mag dumped into a bear until it went click. Was it a success?

not caring here posted:Okay, so for some reason lately people have been packing some serious fuckin' artillery at the local indoor gun range and I'm looking for better hearing protection. I shoot .308 at the indoor 25 yard range and Howard Leight Impact Pros work great  They're bulkier than the sports but they also have the electronic passthrough and give pretty much the best protection I've seen from headphones. You could always wear earplugs under your headphones too.

Here's the noise reduction specs of the Impact Pros vs the Sordin Supreme Pros. I think rifles peak at ~1500hz? I'm a huge loving baby about loud noises hurting my ears and the Impact Pros seem perfectly adequate without doubling up even indoors. Although I suppose it's possible I'm somehow not noticing it not being enough. I've never had ringing in my ears or anything after shooting. The downside is they're relatively huge compared to most earmuffs.

Terrible Robot posted:When I lived in the country one of my favorite things to do was to get high as balls and go sit on my porch with the Howard-Leights cranked up. It was like being One with nature. Yeah mine cuts out during loud noises as advertised but with the volume at maximum you get super hearing when there's nothing loud enough to make it shut off.

You'll be sorry in 2024 when President Feinstein signs the National Firearms Act v2 that was pushed through congress because the old laws were being flagrantly bypassed! The law will restrict firearms more severely based on how fun or interesting they are.

Godholio posted:I mean because they're openly tying it to a bill. Laws don't have any effect until they...come into effect. Saying you're going to make X illegal on May 1st doesn't mean it's illegal to have/do X until the law passes AND comes into effect. If you know something is going to be illegal to posses in two weeks and you buy/obtain a bunch of them then you might be retarded but it's not an illegal act at that time.

Godholio posted:That's not what I'm saying. Ah my bad I didn't read the article and figured a local company had just decided to give them away as a "gently caress you" since they wouldn't be able to sell them anymore. (and after reading, that's really what it is minus the local part.) The legislature is the one doing the voting and they've already passed the bill so it's basically just a marketing stunt.
