I checked optics planet. It's $439 vs $248 for the Burris. For the budget conscious. I think the Burris won't disappoint.
I'm not expecting any serious work or shooting outside of 250 meters with my AK. When i get my 6.8 though, i'm throwing an 4x/ACOG on it.

Haha, I saw the new 'vette, liked what I saw, but am not buying another car until I have built a house. Probably pick up a CPO in 3-4 years. BTDT with the "new car" thing, now.

Apparently John Noveske died in a car accident on the 4th.

U can over pay for an AR or wait until everything cools down.

So I am going to buy another .40 S&W and am eyeing a Glock 22. I am also considering a Beretta because I am not overly fond of stiker fired handguns. Considering that I already have 4 H&K polymer pistols would anyone recommend a Beretta?

Here's a video message posted today from Sheri at Noveske about their participation at SHOT 2013. If you've ever dealt with Noveske Rifleworks, you've dealt with Sheri. She rocks, in the extreme.

WARNING: some might consider this mildly NSFW

List of Executive Orders relative to immediate implementation. Nothing radical here, the president elected to stay within the legal guidelines that executive action imposes. The meat of the issue of 2nd Amendment rights will be legislative, not executive.

Fight's back on, boys. Write your legislators to express your opinion. If you feel strongly about the 2nd Amendment, join the NRA or send them money. (I realize not everyone feels that the NRA is our best representative, but like it or not, they are at the tip of this particular arrow).

Don't forget to keep an eye on your state's legislative body.

Quote:

Executive Orders:

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.

Appears to be yet another Bank of America urban legend. Untrue.
