Totally agree! A 7 or 8 shot .327 scandium frame revolver would be awesome!

32 caliber revolvers should be far more popular than they are. 32 magnum is an excellent cartridge. More rounds in a same-sized cylinder along with low recoil and impressive ballistics. What’s not to like?!?! The selection in double action revolvers is just so limited.

Fellas, I really am liking this little CZ Bren 2 Ms
It's super handy with that 8" barrel. Can fold into a backpack, would also make a fantastic truck or jeep gun. Talk about firepower in a small format.
Folded she is 19 and 3/4 inches. My original 805 Bren with 11" barrel folded is 23 and 1/8 inches.

Finally was able to get a brace for this Bren 2 Ms
It's an A3 Tactical straight extension brace with a Tailhook Mod 1c. Very solid. Very nice.

It sure passes the eye test. I'd bet it's pretty loud. I made the mistake of shooting AR carbines ( before M4's) with 11 inch barrel and had a pistol myself ( Bushmaster) with I forget how many inch barrel at the range without hearing protection. The short barrel AR's were the most painful to shoot of everything I experienced without ear plugs.

My cousin is now a retired Green Beret and he has always sworn by his CZ pistols. He had a CZ (?) 380 for his wife and a CZ 75 9mm for himself. He also had a real FN made FAL he bought in Europe. He could have had anything within reason but stuck with the reliable and well proven models. In fact back then the CZ's were very popular with the Rangers and Green Berets assigned to southern Germany back during the cold war late 70's and early to middle 80's.

Thanks Joe!
Ya know, I'm gonna try and shoot it this weekend.
I really wanted a brace before I shot her.
That's really cool info about CZ's!
Good gracious, that FN FAL is really cool though.
I would love to see one.

Hey Paul, what scopes you got on your deer rifles? I’m finally thinking I need to upgrade my old scope on my .270 this year. I’m looking at Leupold or Vortex.

Josh I think you would LOVE that Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16×44 - it's even a first focal plane scope
The sportsman's guide has one and they have that awesome 4 pay plan. Heck it's only $349 anyways. But, what you get is just amazing. Now, I'm assuming you want variable power instead of a fixed. I would too of it was an ffp scope. That way your gtg on any magnification. Seriously, that's a HELLUVA lot a scope for the money. You can use it to deer hunt and anything else. And Vortex warranty is just like Leupold's - cannot bear it man. Hope that helps!

My Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x50 was great until it wasn't.
After 4 years of jouncing across rough pastures as my truck gun
on my Ruger American Compact .243
and some great one shot kills on coyote
it just suddenly would no longer hold zero.
Vortex replaced it, no questions asked.
Have not gotten around to zeroing or shooting the replacement one yet.

Man, how can ya beat that? That's awesome.
And, if I'm not mistaken, the Diamondback is a step up from the Crossfire ? I think it is anyways.
I've had their Viper but, always wanted that Razor. Those Razors are pricey.
But, the heck of it is, a Diamondback or Crossfire is way more than enough for most people imo.

Crossfire II was only about $220. Least expensive Vortex I know of.
The 50mm bell made me have to switch from low to medium height rings.
I like to mount scopes as low as possible.
