"How to use your rifle scope as a rangefinder."
"Many American households have a scoped deer rifle in them. Common calibers are .30-06, .308, .270, .243, and a variety of sporterized military surplus rifles from around the world. All of these rifles are capable as being used for 'designated marksman' functions. Let us assume that the excrement has hit the rotary oscillator, and you are now in some sort of leadership role of a rag-tag group of people. You find that you have a few SKS and Kalashnikov variants, an AR-15 or two, and several scoped deer rifles. What to do from here." ... |

"Back in the day, when my mother said 'Don’t tip back that chair!' she meant it. As well she should; my teenage toches was parked on an honest-to-God Windsor chair. Truth be told, I grew up in a museum, surrounded by an endless parade of rare and beautiful objects. At first, it was African folk art: dark mysterious pieces that spoke of elemental emotion. Then American antiques: minimalistic masterpieces of unpretentious artistic aspiration. Then American crafts: compelling forms with exquisite colors and textures. While I developed an eye for beauty, the collecting bug never bit me. I can count on one hand the number of inanimate objects I’ve owned that captured my heart and thrilled my soul . . ." ... |

"To many shooters, hitting something from the 1,000 yard line is like putting a man on the moon. It can be done, but it takes a smart person, specialized gear, and a lot of money. Of the two happiest moments of my shooting career, one took place on the 1,000 yard line at USMC Base Quantico with the ArmaLite AR-50 ... And the happiness didn’t come from the fiddy cal, the happiness came from the distance. With .50 BMG being just a bit expensive I decided to set out on a mission to see if $500 would buy enough gun to get rounds the full 1,000 yards and actually hit something at that distance, putting long range joy within reach of the average American shooter." ... |

Last Thursday, we looked at what is emerging as apparently the 'best' excuse the 'gun control' lobby can conjure up in order to absolve the BATFE of guilt for this murderous monstrosity: that because the Senate has refused to confirm a permanent BATFE director, the agency is 'leaderless,' and thus cannot help lurching from one folly to the next." ... |

That the '70%' figure refers not to the total number of seized guns, but to the percentage of those submitted to, and successfully traced by, the [ATF], is generally ignored. The fact that according to the Mexican newspaper El Universal, fewer than a quarter of the recovered firearms were traced, meaning that fewer than 16% of the total number of recovered firearms can be traced to the U.S., is definitely ignored." ... |
