    Second hand custom rigs come up fairly regularly and sell for about half their build cost. Worth checking out if something ticks the boxes.

    Don't forget most people will shoot as well with a $300 lanber, but when you miss with a Beretta dt 11 it looks more stylish.

    I just screenshot photos before uploading them. Does this remove all location data?

    I have an original Charlton (the 'stick & string machine gun') in my collection. They are hand-made and fitted but when properly set up are surprisingly nice to shoot on semi-auto. Full-auto is a...

    I am, I guess, your average recreational shooter of rabbits and other small game. I own 22lr (x2), 17HMR and 223rem. As Mintie pointed out, different situations call for different approaches. Last...

    I share my DPT 22 can with my 17hmr, it's the mag setup so it quietens it right down.

    You will shoot the 22 way more due to price difference in the ammo.
