I am in same boat trying to find a good red dot, I do like the flip up tho

@Always Panicked use a vpn

Was looking for some advice...I have a savage axis 30-06 bolt action rifle. I've always casually hunted, but haven't really learned that much about guns besides sighting mine in & being good enough to shoot hogs & deer.

I'm starting to get a bit more into it, but information online is a bit unclear for me. My current magazine only holds 4 rounds, but I'm interested in (trying) to find one that can at least hold 8. Are magazines for 30-06 rounds standardized?...like will they all fit my gun?...or do I have to find a particular kind?

Forgive the ignorance.

Most guns take magazines specific to that particular firearm

Some guns use magazines that have been standardized across other platforms though... there's lots of stuff out there that takes AR15 or glock magazines

Thanks for the info

You’ve probably heard this question about 100 times but I’m looking to spend 1500-2000$ for an AR. Does anyone have a pre built they recommend? I bought a cmmg banshee 9mm like a year ago before all this went down. I was like “this will be a great apocalypse weapon because 9mm is the most abundant ammo” well the quarantine proved that was a lie.

Honestly just assemble one

At that price u csn build a great one for less thdn thst

We built an 18 inch match grade bench gun with my buddy that would've cost like 2 grand to buy already built

Depending on whst u like and want on that

He's maybe like 1300 bucks into it

Yup

You don't even need that much in the way of tools to assemble one, either

Also depends on what u want it for long range 308 or 556

AR10s are a completely different animal

Lol which I seen to be finding out

You ever try my idea out?

Not yet been busy polishing some concrete

Ah gotcha

Well I hope it works out for you

The job that pays the bills

Me too

The only way it would be pushing the bullets up too high when it picks em up is if something is directing them that way

@f***urfeelings @ThatShadyVandal What website did you use?

For what

To buy the parts @ThatShadyVandal

Honestly, there's so many of them that you can just pick by preference

Brownells, primary arms, those are the first two that come to mind

But there's so many more

Hmm I’ll look more into that & honestly I was just picking 5.56 because the ammo is cheaper.

I want to stock pile ammo and 308 is like 8$ more a box (pre covid)

Right now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into getting into hand loading your ammo

Ammo is hard to come by

@Odb What do you want your rifle to be able to do? Are you looking for a close range gun or a long range gun?

Tbh I probably won’t take it to the range that often. I kind of wanted a Swiss Army knife apocalypse type of weapon. I suppose a 308 would be more suited for that because it can shoot long range. I was just being cheap lol I was thinking about getting a POF Revolution @ThatShadyVandal

If you're looking at an SHTF gun, I don't see you needing to go beyond 300 yards

You're not gonna be able to identify somebody as a potential threat at that distance unless they're shooting at you first

Yeah that’s true. I’m gonna look into building a rifle, see if YouTube can help a guy out.

If you run a 20 inch barrel or even an 18 inch barrel, and you get good, you can hit at like 460 meters accurately with 556
