You know you are truly a shooting enthusiast when you can sit through a whole nut-n-fancy video and then watch another

I hope hickenlooper does the right thing. My brother and I would much rather move to CO than TX next year.

lol. It can be a little tedious to watch his videos but he really thinks things through before he puts out a vid. He's 95% accurate and he gets on a lot of guns. i sit through a lot of those types of reviewers just to get aggreeing and opposing perspectives and re-evaluate my thoughts as solid or weak.

My fav is hickok45. Second fav would be MR.ColionNoir, followed by fateofdestinee and faliaphotography.

But I do watch nutnfancy if the topic interests me.

We know so many people in CO too. My half-brother's step sister lives there and I have cousins. But there is no sunset clause in these bills. meaning it would require active legislation to overturn them, rather than letting them expire.

Also, on topic, Crimson Trace laser grips still for sale yall.

I'll have to try and check it out. I never use youtube because I'm always on my phone and I'm impatient.

OK, the aimpoint pro came in stock at $380 so I jumped on it.

Somebody please take my credit card away. Between furniture and guns I'm about to go broke.

Similar problem.

ND is working on passing a bill that will allow CC to be carried in schools and churches

^Very nice!!!

I decided to join the 300 BLK craze. Surefire 7.62RC SOCOM is going to get Form4 paperwork filled out later this week, and I am trying to source an 8.2-10.2" upper in 300 BLK in the configuration I want (Rail, QPQ or chrome-lined hammer forged barrel.)

I like it a lot. Keeping the magnified optic for the next build. Think I'm gonna do a .308...or maybe something bigger.

I found a 30 acre chunk of hunting land I'm seriously looking at, too..

Sounds awesome. With 30 acres I'd be looking at the next rifle to be a bolt action sniper in 30.06 or 338 lapua etc...

Browning has a new rifle that would make an excellent platform to be modified for those long range shots.

That is sick-looking.

I'm actually leaning towards .308 for a couple of reasons. I'd really love to be able to run a .338 Lapua, but with how cheap I am I'd never shoot the stupid thing.

Also, sold my 1911 today. Dude that bought it has some great plans for it which is how I justified it to myself...
