I'vebeen following CAPANDBALL for awhile now and enjoyed his take on matters black and smokeless. I did not realize he was Lugosi's grandson.

There is no such thing as an inexpensive biathlon rifle. IIRC they start at $1300 and climb rapidly. However you could get them a decent supply of match grade ammo for a few hundred dollars. My suggestion would be to buy a few hundred of this type and a few hundred of this, and a few hundred of that...

Very nice pick up. I think I would also lean towards upgrading the scope and using as it is. Heck I might even invest a $100 and have the scope overhauled. Maybe.

Very nice …… Such a rifle has been on my wish list for a long time and I think it has risen to the top now.

That is a nice looking rifle. Look forward to hearing more about it at the range and in the field.

In my opinion if it’s for defense shotgun is best. Get everybody in one room and keep it pointed at the door no one can get in and you don’t miss. If it’s for going through the house to look for somebody or check out a noise you heard. Then I would agree that a pistol with the lasersight possibly f...

I believe there is something wrong there at the top.

P.S. Sounds like a winner of a general purpose, good for just about anything, sort of rifle. I hope it serves you well.

I always found a LOP of 12" give or take was most comfortable and in consulting that chart it seems I must be exactly right because it says so!

I heard Glock had some interest in the Hudson H9 …… but that might have nothing to do with this.

I'm no expert on these things but I have seen some local waterfowlers still using model 12s with heavy waterfowling barrels that were long …… maybe 32" or 34". They like them for the speed of making follow up shots.

I suppose old Gun Digest books would hold the answer for you.

I like short LOP also. this is why I like collapsible AR stocks, and I put on on my shotgun. Helps when going from tee shirt weather to winter coat weather.... I originally put the collapsible stock on the Mossberg 500 so my son when he was young could comfortably handle the shotgun during waterfow...

I confess that thought has gone through my mind as well. I've always liked a LOP on the short side. I can adjust to a real short lop but a long lop is always troublesome. In fact I've been known to swap butt stocks on my Marlin 336 rifles to a 'youth' stock before hunting season with the attendant u...

Neat …… for hunting, pest control or punching paper? .17, .20, or .22?

Fungo or hitting fungo is a fielding practice or warm up in baseball. A fungo bat is a lightweight bat used specifically to hit soft ground balls and easy loping flying balls.

militarily I think the metal storm concept is to replace land mines or air bursts with something more focused. I personally think these have some merit in NON LETHAL rubber or OC pellets.
