That is a very nice rifle DW.

I went to the largest gun store in Kentucky last week. I was looking at, I think, a Cooper .17hmr. They have sample groups attached to each of the rifles, this one was very impressive.

Apparently the Cooper is making a name for itself. I'm not familiar with them but I think there is an article in the latest Rifeman. I'll have to read up.

With a little research guns can be a reasonable investment. You rarely loose money unless you buy one new and then sell or trade too quickly. I bought a HK P7M10 40S&W (squeeze cock) when I was shooting USPSA events. I had paid around $1250 for the gun and 4 mags. I sold it about 2 years ago for $1500. Big mistake. It would bring $3000 today.

Uh oh, looks gotta be careful with those Mosins and other mil-surps. I got an M44 a year ago and since then have picked up another M44 (this all matching), 91/30, and an Enfield in the mil surp category. Damn they're fun shooters though.

Love those steel J-Frames, and that Remington is just sexy.

So here's one of my toys ..... Bushmaster AR-15 A2 HBAR with a Knights Armament rail. I've decided that it's going to get two new uppers, an AR-57 (FN 5.7x28 shooter) and I'm going to reuse the barrel for an M16-A4 look with the flat style upper.

Bushmaster did some warranty work to it and really screwed up the barrel nut, so I'm going to remove/replace the gas block front site with a flat gas block and replace the nut when I do all this. The forward assist will get transplanted to the new upper, along with the BCG.

Have you ever had to use the forward assist? In a fire fight it might be handy but otherwise I would eject a round that didn't chamber on it's own.
If you get an urge for the untimate trigger you might look at Jewell Triggers. They build for Rem 700, AR15, Win 70 and some specific bench rest. Jewell is one of my accounts so of course I have their trigger on my HBAR Elite, Volquartzen10/22, and the 700 in the pic. They're a small company so they don't exploit a major website but I think I have at least an article I'll come back and post. You can search and find some testimonials about them. Many people just don't realize what a good trigger can do.

Here is an ad with a good pic of the trigger.

I gots a Ruger P90 (.45), Mossy 500 Persuader, and Ruger M77 bolt action .308.
Looking to pickup up a nice Springfield 1911. Soon....soon.
Mossy for home defense of course.

I only used the forward assist on qual day at the rifle range, just to make sure the round was nice and comfortable. In a fire fight I would pull the charging handle, definitely.
