i just dont want to take away from the original purpose of the sight, but just as importantly the right gun deserves the right scope!

So, are we going to have just one section about guns, or different sections, such as bolt action, lever action, revolver, black powder, cartridges and calibers, etc.

There will be no end in sight if you get the gun nuts talking, you know...

A Remy ??? Oh wait that is Remington...yeah the second place finisher to a Winchester 70 Just kidding I only own Remington, wished right about now I had a pre-64 Win

 

yes, I think that a forums for guns would be great, after all scopes and optics go with firearms like peanut butter and jelly.

By attracting more gun enthusiats to SWFA gun forums, they will increase their buisness and it will eliminate some of the need for swithing to other forums more often.  Its a win, win situation for everyone.

Great idea... I could talk more about Barnes bullets JUST KIDDING FOLKS!!!!! But it would be neat to have a place to espouse why the H&H cartridges are superior to most of the new "fit in a 06 action" or "fit in a short action" ones.

Its good to hear you root saying something good, with respect to something close to Wby..  The H&H cartridges, from which the Wby. line of cartridges originated.  Good post again root.

I think the large number of posts on some of the gun-related topics is a good indication many folks would use a separate firearms forum.
