I really like that indoor range,  chief & chameleon.  That's an added bonus to the gun buyer.  Don't have one around here, close.


Well, that range isn't local to me, it's about 1200 miles away.
I would go there often if I was closer (a lot closer).
For those that live near this range, it is a pleasure to shoot at, and they are well stocked with pistols, rifles and all the goodies. It is a very nice shop and range.

 I just got back from there. They had been talking to Maria and told her many customers ask about what to load and she told them that they had been working with Corbon for a good load for the R9's. He had just gotten some of it in so I had to buy a box of course :)

Will be interesting to see how that works.    :)

Chief,
   That's good, we will have three different brands of 95gr ammo being tested for the pups. I have some Federal 95gr coming and Wired is going to test some of the Magtec 95gr ammo. Let us know how they work.

I'll be interested in all three of these reports, for sure!    :)

 I have someone at my office that may wish to buy my Stealth. If they do that i am going to go down and buy the Robar if it is still available. He also has a R9s and an R9s Stealth in stock, so it should be safe for a few days.

Good luck, chief.  Hope the Robar is still there when you're ready.  That's a rare item, as you well know.

That is the problem with the Barrets. Most places are not built to support a gun of that much power. Even outdoor ranges have issues with them due to there long lethalty range.

Even Taliban at 2K+ meters is not an efficient back stop.... ;)

 Yes, Barret is a great weapon.  I wish it had come along sooner, but it wouldn't have been quite as useful in the Jungle. Would have been great to have though.  Many times we would fire single carefully aimed shots from the M2 and it almost always hit where we wanted it to (Even without sights, but then again you tended to "aim big" knowing this)
 They are having great success with it stopping vehicles.
