Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone here into firearms?

Nothing says "Look at me!" more than a .50AE Desert Eagle in a small indoor range.

That's the response when you fire off a S&W 460. Still to date the most powerful handgun I've ever shot.

The 460 is definitely an attention getter as is it's brother the S&W 500. Both The 460 and 500 are crazy rounds but they are not fun to shoot. Did get to shoot a S&W 500 once, it was really cool but never again.

The Desert Eagle is a lot of fun. I could shoot it all day but my bank account couldn't. The second round I ever shot out of my DE was in to a water melon at about 15ft. The watermelon was there one moment and gone the next.

To date the most unpleasant thing I've shot is still my S&W AirLite PD .357 snubbie. The pistol weighs 11 oz. .357 Mag personal defense ammo out of that is brutal. Your hand goes numb after three shots.

Just about anything out of a snubbie is brutal....

I got it as a good carry piece for summer months, and realized I had made a huge mistake the first time I pulled the trigger.

I wish I still had mine in .38. I believe I traded it for a S&W Model 10 with a 3" heavy barrel.

What'd that run ya? I found an FNH .308 20" bull barrel Police Rifle with picatinny rail for $2,300. Awesome setup. Just not sure I want to spend that much when i know a $1k Remmington SPS will do the job just fine.

Or a Savage 10 FCP-SR 20" in .308 like mine for $650. So far I have replaced the scope rail with a Badger Ordnance 20 MOA scope rail ($150) because the BO one has a recoil lug, is made out of steel, and has a 20 MOA cant which the stock rail didn't. Also added a kydex adjustable cheek rest ($38) and Atlas bipod rail ($20). The scope is Nightforce NXS Compact 2.5-10x 42mm ($1940) mounted with Nightforce 30mm Ultralite Rings ($165).

I paid $260 for my Savage MKII FV-SR in 22LR. The stock is a Boyd's MKII Black Pro Varmint Stock (formally Tacticool Stock) with Bottom Metal Deluxe Kit from DPI Inc. ($175). The scope is a Bushnell Rimfire Optics 3-9 X 40 ($113) mounted with Vortex rings ($19).
