Whats your AR chambered in? How do you like the .308 700?

 

the AR is the run of the mill .223/5.56. Its chambered in 5.56 to be politically correct though.

The .308 isn't much fun to shoot. I shoot from a Bi-pod and the rifle is extremely light weight. It's a 1:7 twist so I shoot heavy rounds through it (180gr) and it just beats you up. I shoot my friends precision rifle and its really nice having a chassis that adds a bunch of weight to it that soaks up a bunch of the recoil.

 

I have a 770 in a 30-06 and its a beast of a rifle. I love to shoot it. I just wondered how the more expensive rifle stacked up.

Id like to grab an ar-10 chambered 762

 

There's a few things different between the 770 and the 700. The 770 has a pressed in barrel and the chambers are different. I got the 700 at a good price so I couldn't pass it up. I bought it for the chamber more or less. I've been thinking about selling it

 

My 700 before it had the bi-pod on it and the AR

 

Most of us here drive monte carlos or some sort of car, so I believe the answer is yes for us all

Other than that, I only own knives at the current point in time.

 

That looks exactly like my 770

 

Yea, aesthetically they look almost identical. The chambers are different and the action is different' and the 770 uses a pressed in barrel. There's not much aftermarket support out there for the 770, unlike the 700 which is the honda civic of bolt rifles, there's no limit to what you can do.

 

And the defiance continues. A california town outlawed any magazine over 10 rounds. Everyone had to turn theris in, sell it out of town or move it out of the city limits. And it is no surprise that again NO ONE turned theirs in. First Conn, Then Texas and now Calif. residents are thumbing their noses at the asanine rules the big cheeses are trying to assert over them. When one person does it, he's crazy, when 2 do it it's a conspiracy but when 3 or more do it, it's a movement. And thats what we are seeing, a movement towards saying enough is enough. Kind of like the Arlo Guthrie song " Alice's resturant"

Here is the article related to the latest Calif. defiant act.

Californians Refuse to Turn In Newly-Banned Magazines

No one has complied with city mandate regulating so-called “high capacity” magazines

Despite a new city law in Sunnyvale, Cali., requiring gun owners get rid of their so-called “high capacity” magazines or face fines or arrest, none of the owners of said magazines have turned them in to police.

At midnight on Thursday, Sunnyvale began implementing a new law that requires residents with rifle magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition to dispose of them or else, but the law reportedly failed to produce the intended effect.

“The Oakland Tribune reported Saturday that since Sunnyvale’s ban went into effect midnight Thursday, not one of the now-illegal magazines has been turned in,” the Associated Press reports.

In Sunnyvale, a person caught with a “high capacity” magazine could be subject to a misdemeanor fine of up to $1,000, six months in jail, or both. The city is one of two Californian communities promoting a ban on magazines, the other being San Francisco, whose ban is set to take effect April 7.

While it’s possible gun owners are openly defying the law, as many have done in Connecticut, it is also possible gun owners are holding out to make a profit or break even.

“Owners had the choice of allowing police to destroy the magazines, sell them out of state or to a licensed gun dealer, or move them out of town,” writes Josh Richman for the Oakland Tribune.

One Sunnyvale resident told Richman he had never been in trouble with the law, but that the new ordinance would have turned him into a criminal overnight.

“I’ve lived here in Sunnyvale for more than 40 years and I’ve never had so much as a parking ticket,” Leonard Fyock, a 67-year-old Sunnyvale resident, stated.

Fyock said he was able to get his magazines out of town before the ban took effect, but that he hopes “somewhere down the line this will get overturned.”

Though the law technically criminalizes anyone in possession of the newly-banned magazines, the city is still encouraging people to show up to the police station and hand them over.

“Barring any unusual circumstances, we wouldn’t cite people for voluntarily turning in their large-capacity magazines to public safety even though it is legally possible at this time to cite them,” city spokeswoman Jennifer Garnett said.

Former Sunnyvale Mayor Tony Spitaleri, the prime mover of the law, acknowledged the ban essentially criminalizes law-abiding citizens and that the law is flawed because anybody who wants to could transport a “high-capacity” magazine into city limits. Still, he thinks the city will be better off. “It doesn’t move the needle – yet, but it always starts somewhere,” Spitaleri said.

Though the measure banning magazines passed with a 67 percent vote last year, the lack of residents who have complied speaks volumes, and may highlight the American people’s frustration with unconstitutional mandates.

The NRA is appealing the law with the Supreme Court after California’s 9th Circuit denied their request for an emergency hold on the law.

 

And Texas is at it again... large open carry rally this week and a larger one this weekend. Go Texas!!!


Armed Texans to March at SXSW

March begins at High Noon on Wednesday, March 12 at the corner of 12th St. and San Jacinto in Austin

March 10, 2014

The Austin chapter of Come and Take It Texas is holding an open carry march at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas this Wednesday, March 12 at high noon in response to the anti-gun event promoted by the internationally-known festival.



This armed march will set the stage for an even larger rally taking place on Saturday, March 15 in Austin.

SXSW, which showcases the latest in talent and technologies to thousands from around the world, is now hosting political events which advocate taking America back politically to an age of disarmed slaves.

This past weekend at SXSW, key leaders of gun control groups led by former N.Y. mayor Michael Bloomberg held a panel discussion in which they bragged about their takeover of Facebook and their success at restricting pro-gun speech on the social media site.

To counteract these attacks on our civil rights, liberty loving activists will exercise their First Amendment in defense of the Second by peacefully assembling for an international audience at noon on Wednesday, March 12, starting from the parking garage at 12th Street and San Jacinto.

The activists will then proceed to Congress Avenue, then south to Sixth Street.

This peaceful march will also be covered live on the Alex Jones Show, including interviews with those present.

If you can make it to this event, please do so and join free individuals on the cutting edge of the civil rights movement.

Also, due to heavy traffic and road closures for SXSW, please plan on arriving early (at least one hour or so) to give yourself ample time to reach the event.
