After watching that video. I want to buy a AR

Agreed that you should look into a 5.56/.223 AR-15. That is what they were natively designed for. That is standard issue for the military as well, and we shot them from as far as 500yds with the standard sights (no scope) with pretty decent accuracy.

I'm building an 18/20" Stainless barrel varmint style AR-15. I personally went to Bill's and bought a stripped lower ($120 I think), as that is the only thing you need a Permit to buy. Everything else I will be buying online and will slowly assemble it over time.

I've found a lot of good deals at www.MidwayUSA.com on fully assembled AR's, or separately assembled uppers and lowers.

I've seen one of those bumpfire stocks in action. It was almost comical how poorly it worked. Almost. If you want to bumpfire for fun, learn how to do it and screw around on the range. I would never put one of those piece of shit stocks on a rifle I might actually have to use to defend myself.

lmao, I couldn't agree more!

Picked up a new carry pistol for my "Black Friday" deal.

Ruger LCP .380 - I am very happy with how it feels in the fobus holster. Definitely different than my Glock 23. Overall it feels like a solid weapon and for the price, the quality is great.

I went shooting with my .40 XD and my dad's .22's this weekend (wish we could have shot with the M1A too, but didn't have a big enough area). I think I'm going to start rifle target shooting more, it was more fun than I thought. I was initially thinking of going with a .223 or similar a couple months ago, but I figured since I'm just target shooting in the 50-100yd range a .22 will work just fine. The gun is half the price and the ammo is ridiculous cheap in comparison.

I took the AQT (army qualification test, a basic timed rifle shooting skill evaluator) for the first time and I did pretty well, but I'm hoping to improve my accuracy and speed with practice. I shot both my dad's semi auto and his old bolt action, and I actually like the bolt action better. Even though most accuracy events are timed, I was able to get all 10 shots off within a minute with a bolt action.

Does anyone have any opinions on what brand .22 plinker to get? The old bolt action was a Remmington and the new semi auto was a CZ 512, both seemed pretty nice. I was hoping to get a thumb hole stock, and really like the way the Savage Mark II BTV looks (plus it has the nicer trigger and barrel), but haven't ever shot one before. Only looking to spend in the $300 range, maybe a bit more if it comes with a scope.
