Competition shooter Kirsten Joy Weiss gives you some tips on how to avoid scoping yourself as there is really nothing that sours a new shooter faster than a good scope bite.

If you’ve ever gotten bit you can attest to just how much it sucks. With that in mind, review the above on how to fix the problem if you incur it and keep it in mind moving forward– especially when working with a friend or relative and their first optics.

FN’s Military Collector Series.

Chad with IV8888 shows off his M1A Loaded rifle, set up as a life and liberty DMR with some sweet Leupold glass and AAC suppressor.

Its not a review of the Springfield Armory M1A Loaded, as Chad’s gun has a host of aftermarket add-ons (Unitized gas system, Schuster adjustable gas plug, Sadlak NM spring guide, ARMS scope mount, duracoated stock, cheek riser, et. al), but you get a good idea of what you can do to up your M1A game to an approximation of a military designated marksman rifle.

And for reference, the optics are Leupold’s Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50mm FFP M5 and the en-quieter is a AAC SDN-6.

Milwaukee police on crowd control duty outside the GOP Presidential debate rushed into put out a burning American flag set on fire by protesters and showed the banner proper respect.

As noted by the MPD in a statement:

This evening brought thousands to downtown Milwaukee for the theater, basketball game and the debate. During one demonstration, a protester set an American Flag on fire.

Milwaukee Police Officers, seeing the burning flag in the crowd, immediately grabbed a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. The plume from the fire extinguisher prompted reports of tear gas being used. These reports were false.

The flag was taken to be inventoried for possible charges against the protester.

Milwaukee police officers later conducted a small, dignified ceremony to properly fold the flag before placing it on inventory.

For nearly two centuries, the United States has had a love affair with lever-action rifles. From Tom Mix and John Wayne to Tommie Lee Jones and Robert Duvall, the lever-gun is a staple of American culture and an iconic tool of brush hunters across the country. One of the most widely spread but often forgotten of these designs is the Savage 99.

Seven is a number that has felt right to humanity for a lot of things.  We have the seven days of the week, the seven deadly sins, the seven liberal arts, and the seven rounds that the New York legislature figured were enough.  Now Martin O’Malley, former governor of Maryland and candidate in the Democratic primaries of 2016 has come up with a seven-point plan to reduce gun violence.  His proposals were listed in a tweet he sent out on Thursday.  He says these would be a start toward cutting deaths by gunfire in half over the next ten years.  How these not-so-magnificent seven would accomplish that isn’t so clear when we consider the details, which he gives on his campaign website:
