I thought about titling this thread "Your absolute must have before the 2020 elections", but thought that topic may be too narrow. However, if someone wants to talk about the 2020 elections that is fine also. As we enter a new decade, and with the upcoming elections what is your "must have?"...

How many AR-15s, AK47s, FALs... are enough? The title of the thread is battle rifles. Lets skip the semantics and splitting hairs and group all semi-automatic medium and large rifle calibers together. If it was designed for a military role since the 1940s, how many are enough? The issue...

The rifle was a PTR 91, GI model; the ammunition was Wolf Polyformance steel-cased. I shot off of a table with a gun rest. Iron sights only; no scope. The 1st target is at 25 yds. The squares are 1”, so the bulls-eye has a 2” diameter. I made a windage adjustment to move the POI...

You are going into SHTF. Which bolt action rifle would you want, .308 or .270 and why?

Hello. I am new to the forums and fairly new to preparedness and I would like some feedback and suggestions from you veterans. I have been focusing on my food situation and I have a good system and have built up adequate stocks for my needs and now I am turning towards security. I am familiar...

Working up another article for ReadyMan Magazine and I could use some input. I was just debating with my Navy SEAL co-host the merits of a .308 battle rifle. His point: there's not much of a tactical slot for a semi-auto .308. So, we'll probably build an article with him shooting the SCAR Heavy...

This is an opinion piece on the 300 Blackout. A couple of days ago I posted a question about Palmetto State Armory on the survivalistboards facebook page. There were several suggestions to go with the 300 blackout instead of the 223/5.56mm. This is my reply to those suggestions...
