Of course didn't stop me from getting the AR15, but somehow I knew that was a must have!

Next stop, NC permit, then I'm going to try and pick one up on holiday special.

Next to the PPQ and the VP9, the Glock G19/17 is a pretty sad puppy.

454 Casull in a Taurus? If you were going to go that route, I'd go with a Ruger Super Blackhawk instead. Ruger's been building rock solid 'thumb busters' for decades.

Nice. I've read lots of good things about the Lapua, it does tend to be a bit pricey on the factory ammo side. I'd love to have a good bolt gun in 338 Lapua or 50 BMG; it's just hard to find places to shoot them here in Kansas. Not many ranges with a mile of clear space, especially near the city.

yea ammo is pretty pricy for it, im going to be reloading it myself.

I hear ya on the range part lol my grandfathers has 80 acres that we hunt/shoot/sight guns in on and the portion im shooting this at, is around 490-500 yards ( buddy did a range find on it)

its also pretty heavy ( 18 pounds with the scope exc)

its hard for me to find any LEFT handed guns anywhere lol and the ones I do find I want, are in right, and I have to " special order " them upping the price lol

this is the one im ordering.

Going indoors tomorrow. Snow forcasted. Gonna sight in my KPOS pistol carbine conversion. Inside of it is a Glock 17. My 700 Remy is at the gunsmith being modded and massaged. Just got a CSA VZ58 and I'm pimping it out. Changed the furniture, waiting on a brake and butt stock and more mags. Btw, it eats 7.62x39. And....I have a new semi .308 "Modern Hunter" being made. Should be ready in February.

The ammo safe is down to under 5k rounds.....gotta stock up!
