I can't be doing with that b
ks. I just accepted that handguns were banned and moved on.
I hated shooting revolvers even before the coat hanger/rifle length barrel era anyway, so not going anywhere near one of those ghastly contraptions...

t. But I enjoy handguns more than rifles red_slr said:
Muzzle loading fine too.
I have a 6 inch revolver in .357 and its classed as a muzzle loader.
Uses shotgun primers and green dot powder. You press the rounds into the cylinders.
Its a bit of a fiddle but shoots like a "real" revolver.
That's fine, I get my fix from 1911's so not much newer than what you guys have.I have a 6 inch revolver in .357 and its classed as a muzzle loader.

I do like ARs in FDE I must say. A guy at my club has one and when you see it against a black one it looks so much cooler, which is what its all about right 
My next one will be FDE.
FDE also reduces scary black rifle syndrome (SBRS), not to be confused with SBR. Which makes it easier to sell to the wife...My next one will be FDE.
Found a bargain on a new lightweight mountain rifle to carry up big hills looking for deer, tahr etc... Savage Mod.16 Lightweight Hunter in 308. I would have preferred the wooden version (which I have in 223 and its lovely) but this one popped up at a bargain price (handled but unfired shop display rifle for half the RRP) so I grabbed it, stainless will be pretty practical for the backcountry.
Once I throw a scope on (planning to swap the Bushnell Elite 3-9x40 from another rifle I'm intending to sell) I'll find out how it shoots, if its anything like my other Savages I won't have anything to complain about.

I've already got a second mortgage.
Actually - damn you /r/gundeals - I've been debating various red dots, but been afraid of finding that I've got astigmatism (funky enough glasses prescription for me not to be surprised if that's the case, though it's not shown itself yet) and it being a waste of money, so been dithering about red dots, HWS, or single power optics.
r/gundeals had the sig romeo 5 for ~$100 (20% off). They also had the vortex spitfire 1x prism scope on offer for $150 (normally $350). So after lots of wavering...I naturally bought both.
Gives me a budget red dot to play around with and potentially stick on a 10/22 if I ever get round to picking up one, and a prism scope in case my eyes really are that crap.
If both turn out to be crap, I'll go look at the Spitfire 3x if I want better magnification, and try an eotech in person if I feel flush (or go for the UH-1, depending if there's better deals).

I saw this one on Amazon and the reviews seem pretty good for a budget red dot.
