I first labeled this a "range report" but realized halfway through that it was more appropriately labeled a "range narrative." If you are looking for the short and sweet version, here it is: fired 100 rounds total, had three mag snags all with a gen 1 magazine. The rifle itself and the updated...

Hey all, Found the NcStar Reflex Sight (D4B) on Amazon for $33.22 shipped. Seems like a good deal from cursory searching, what do you guys think?

Belt, Wasn't trying to be cheeky, I wasn't all that sure that NcStar was made in China. So it was more a sincere question. Cheers! :D -Squires

lol. Good point.

I knew the NcStar would make an appearance! However given that he said that he didn't want "China Made" products, doesn't that eliminate the NcStar?

I have no experience and I'm sure someone who does will come in a be more thorough but I can tell you just by trolling the forums over the past week+ that you are likely to get a recommendation of a primary arms 4x scope found here. On an aside, since so many scope questions are asked maybe it...

Razor, Ouch man! That sucks. Hope you get yours back soon and it fires flawlessly... so fun when it does. Cheers! -Squires

Hey all, Justed wanted to post a quick note to let you know that my 15-22 arrived today. I ordered it through a local gun dealer that I met awhile back. He doesn't have a storefront or employees, he got his FFL twenty some years ago so that he and his friends could get guns cheap. Anyway, he...

Thanks! Just the sort of thing I was looking for. I never would've thought to bring gloves (never had a rifle with a rail system before) and wouldn 't have known what type of gloves either. Also, what else (other than a rug remnant) do people bring to lay on while shooting prone. I'm not sure...

When you guys say "Mag Snag", do mean when the round loads incorrectly, nose tip up? Or something else? I did a search this time, honest :D ... but there were something like 20 threads and over a hundred pages to read through so I thought I'd just ask. -Squires

Thanks Zerocool! I read your posts linked above and they were extremely informative. It sounds like a real blast (pun intended... ouch) ;) Anyway, barring something unforeseen (Read: God's Sovereignty) then I will be there in April. And I am REALLY looking forward to it. On a side note, I'll...

Phil, Thanks! I should've searched BEFORE I posted. It was late and I was tired. Again, sorry. -Squires

Hey all, There is an Appleseed event being hosted at my local range this upcoming weekend and one weekend in April. I've got no formal training on marksmanship and think that this would be a blast (if the wife [who happens to be 5 mo. pregnant with our third child] will let me leave the house...

Belt, Just out of curiousity (sp?), where in TN are you? -Squires

I had the same question (minus the 15 mags and having an extra 15-22... but other than that ;) ) and I think if you look under the 'instructional videos' post there is a link to a video labeled "New Spec" or some such and will probably answer some of your questions. Hope this helps!
