Since you brought it up and are apparently qualified to answer:

If someone was interested in adding an extended range long gun to their collection without breaking the bank, what would be your suggestion? Are the Palmetto options decent in quality and accuracy? .308, 6.5C, or 7.62? 18" or 20"? Are Vortex optics a good bang for the buck?

You will never go wrong with a Remington 700 in .308 or 7MMmag, decent optics and learning to read the wind gets you to 1000 meters easy with either.

Palmetto is decent (and I strongly considered getting one). I went with the SIG 716i Tread after much debate.

Vortex is great, I have quite a few (4 or 5) or their sights. I’ll probably end up picking up another for the Sig

I really would like to start doing some 500-1000 learning/practice.

So from now on all firearms sold will come with the equivalent of a “ contents may be hot “ disclaimer and a red letter, bold font , tag saying .. we do not condone , promote or encourage , any illegal actions anyone may take using our products .

Tennessee should pass a law refusing to recognize any lawsuit verdict in another state against domestic gun manufacturers with an exception for actual defective operation. Something like that.

And let me clarify my previous post and say I’m not for banning all guns like I said I own 4. But we gotta do something about the war weapons and Ak-47’s. I don’t need a AK and grenade to turkey and squirrel hunt lol

I own multiple AR-15s. I know people who own ARs and AKs. Then have never broken the law nor have their guns ever shot another human. See here is where the problem starts. It’s got nothing to do with need. Do I need 2 ARs? No. Do I need any of my other 8 firearms that I own? No.

You know why I have them? Because I want them. I like to shoot guns. My wife and I and our friends have a little gin club we like to call it. One of our friends owns a lot of land and we get together and have shooting competitions. Why should our access to ARs and AKs be limited?

Also, nobody can dictate what another person feels is a necessary way to defend his/her loved ones. The government nor you, can dictate that an AR-15 is an unnecessary self defense weapon for me and my family. Not your family, not your choice. And let’s stop with the war weapons crap.

Can your shoot up a parade or church with a shotgun and 38 special and kill a few people? Absolutely you can but you can kill so much more and at a more effective rate with an assault rifle and you can have terrible aim too. So it’s no surprise all the nut job mass shooters are opting for the assault rifles.

Define assault rifle

8 firearms?

Rookie
I’ve got 9 Browning A5 variants and that’s not even half of my shotguns.

I too like shooting. It’s fun. It’s a great stress reliever.
Like yoga meditation where you get to blow **** up.

Why do you need them? I have a .38 special and a .22 pistol along with two shotguns and I’m very comfortable with the size of my D I mean I don’t need some fun guns to overcompensate lol. Civilians like you don’t need them. Are you fighting a war? Is it that bad where you live that you need your war rifles and LDS guns I mean I’m just curious with you ammosexuals. They need to be banned and I’m sticking to my guns on that.

Do you know the difference between an AK 47 and an AK 74?
