Who here has guns?

[2cha]

Ruger GP 100 4" stainless

Benelli Super 90 12 ga. (super smooth, many 1000s rounds by me and I bought well used).
HK Red Lion 12 ga. (don't like, have put a few hundred thru, doesn't point well for me.)
Remington 1100 28 ga. (12 y.o. son uses for sporting clays, nice gun, heavy).

[ChrisM]

S&W 9, 357, 44
Glock 23, 36
Savage 17 hmr
WASR-10
Ruger 10/22, mkII, mkIII

[MountainManJim]

I assumed the pellet, airsoft and paint ball guns do not count for this survey.

[ozspyder]

I only have my competition guns as we aren't allowed to carry for any other reason in Oz except the LEOs of course:

CZ 75 SP01 Shadow
CZ Kadet
Feinwerkbau P44 air
Pardini Rapid 22
STI Edge

... and a couple coming :p G17 and another Edge :D for pimping !!!

[Jordan]

At home:

S&W Model 66 in .357 w/ 4 inch barrel
Sig 226 in .40
Kimber Custom II, stainless... .45 (as if that needed saying)
Browning BPS in 12 gauge
Ruger 10/22 (evidently, most of us have one of these laying around)
Alexandria Arms 30-06 (cheap Brazilian knockoff of a Rem 700... but it shoots straight and I love it)
Ruger Mk II in .22LR (another popular weapon in these parts it seems, but mine is the bull barreled variant so ha!)

And at work (I don't know if they count, since I am just borrowing them from the Army so to speak):

M4 Carbine
M21 (it's really just an old M14 dressed up in an EBR stock kit with a nice optic... but it drills holes in things out to 600 meters pretty consistently, so I like it.)

[Pneumothorax]

Sig P228 9mm
Automag II 22mag (yeah, what? why? It was my first purchase and there was a good review in one of the magazines...)

[dsmegst]

S&W M&P-15
Custom SPR AR-15
Rem 700 VTR
Ruger 10/22
Savage 93R17
Beretta CX4

Beretta 92G Compact (Custom)
Beretta 92G Elite II
Beretta Alley Cat
Browning Buckmark
Browning Buckmark Bullseye
S&W 351PD

I think that's all of 'em.

If they do, my birthdays are definitely outnumbered.

[markg]

Yep...

Glock 30
Glock 26
SIG P-229
S&W 640
Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag
Ruger GP-100 .357 Mag

Rock River AR-15
M1 Carbine
Ruger 10/22
Old bolt action .22, and single shot shotgun.

Yes, I know I need a new shotgun.

[SkullBouncer]

I'm into military arms, have a few in my collection but my 3rd IMI DE .50 AE custom is likely the most photogenic.

[2cha]

Does that beautiful beast come with a tripod too or do you just wear wrist braces? :)

[quattrokid73]

only one I need. many I want.

[2cha]

Browning Buckmark
Browning Buckmark Bullseye
.

What do you think of the Browning's? I'm in market for .22 auto--have a son who's 12) and wanted to get a Ruger MK, but I don't like all the crap on MKIII--loaded chamber indicator, mag safety--more moving parts = less lifespan + more maintenance. I've eyeballed the Buckmarks, but I've never fired one. Obviously, you like 'em. Will you share why?

[SkullBouncer]

Funny you should mention that.
Being nose heavy and gas op, the addition of the Leupold 2x scope and Weaver Rings do rather ideally suit this dude for longrange bench rest fire. With polygonal rifling and a 19":1 twist of the fifty round, this actually produces an element of torque underanticipated by inexperienced shooters.
7+1 capacity fully loaded.


Properly managed with the left over right hand-dominant push/pull combat grip, and less the scope, the weapon is accurate up to 200m. With almost a ton of muzzle energy (300 gr. JSP = 1860 lbs w/6" barrell) , the nose weight helps with firing freestanding, with the right foot fwd/oriented toward the target, the left foot 2-3' back, oriented perpendicular to the front.
**edit/addition: The elbows are locked and the recoil is absorbed by both shoulders.
Before fire, you would have your weight on the fwd foot of course, and really bear into the weapon. This will facilitate target acquisition at a moderate rate of fire.

Here's some amatuer youtube footage from two youngsters that really don't know what they're doing, haha... but this demonstrates what this fifty is capable of:

**edit/addition: The elbows are all but locked and the recoil is to be absorbed by both shoulders. The shooter's weight is of course on the forward foot. Before trigger pull, you really bear into the weapon to facilitate target acquisition at a moderate rate of fire.

Thanks for the tips, maybe I'll make the opportunity someday. All the youtubes were pretty funny (I skipped the "horrible injury" vids).

Ive bought and sold a few and have shot most, and this is what I have ended up with.
