With that rig he's showing at the top of the picture....he's gonna nail you LONG before you get to the driveway!!! :grin:
I'm going to guess .308 or .338 Lapua???

It could be a .300 win mag too...

Thats the rub- it aint that much cheaper than .223/5/56. Plus, you aren't limited to a limited selection of crap ammo.
Eric
I like the bottom one (the RECCE-ish AR). Just curious why you went with a 5.45 Russian round?
Eric
Spam cans of 5.45 are all over the place. It's just a pain to clean up afterwards.

That looks like fun. I especially like the pistol. I never thought about assembling my own but I see a lot of people doing it now. That would be a lot of firepower in a pistol.
40 cents/per round vs. 56 cents/per round isn't that much cheaper, but when you have 1000+ rounds it is.
You can get Wolf Gold .223 ammo in the same price range as 5.45. Wolf Gold is actually decent ammo (not the steel cased Wolf).
I suppose the point i was making is that there is no match grade 5.45 ammo that is as easily available as .223, for example.

It's an LWRC - not a Daniel Defense or Larue by any stretch, but it's an upper echelon piece. Why? Because a friend who had it needed $$ and gave me a deal that I couldn't refuse, not to mention included over 5k rounds and the Aimpoint that still sitting on it...
I saw the LWRC logo on all 3 lowers. I meant "RECCE" ala carbine length recon rifle. Although I feel buying premium lowers aren't crucial, I do like Noveske lowers.

I don't think I have ever lived anywhere, that they weren't open season year round on crows. Never had the urge myself for crow shooting.
Here's a few more

Did someone say handguns?

I wish . Haven't shot in a couple years . Still buy them now and again. Not sure why but I've never lost money on a gun. Wish I could say the same about cues.

No, I got what you meant, E... The upper is LWRC, the lowers on all are Aero Precision. Premium lowers aren't crucial, but damn, Noveske is some high dollar stuff...
Thanks, a few of my others are a bit too bulky to carry and more expensive to shoot...
<-- loves .22... but believes in diversified firepower...

It's good to know guns retain their value. In California there are many restrictions - don't know how the resale market is.
I got into guns when Dirty Harry came out. I was 18, hair down to my shoulders, rode around on a Kawasaki Mach III and rushed right down to the store and bought a 44 magnum. When I went to the police station to register it, the police thought I was crazy for buying this cannon. I guess in California at the time 18 was legal age. So the first real handgun I shot was a 44 mag using 44 specials (they wouldn't let us fire 44 mags in the indoor range).
I've always liked guns, but handguns never really did much for me. I've never carried a weapon (except during the LA riots when I had to work in the riot zone by USC).
What I really like is very accurate, tack driving rifles with hi power scopes. I have a couple that I would never sell. The one below is actually my wife's. It's the most accurate rifle we have and I love shooting it. It's a Sako Deluxe with a 6 X 20 Leupold Scope. The caliber is .223 Remington and with match grade ammo on a benchrest I can shoot the staples out of the target at 100 yards.
It's old school. At the range it gets a lot of attention.
I own many pistols and like you never got into shooting them like I do rifles and shotguns. I use to shoot many cases of shells a year in shotguns, as they will bet it up around here using custom built barrels, for one certain size shot. Some call them turkey shoots. I have seen them bet 1,000 a shot. I had at least 15 built for 9 shot and had one that could average 150 shot in a 5" circle at 90ft. Most were 36" x !" . I have seen some 60" barrels, but most figured out after 36" they didn't get better. Good Custom barrel builders are thought of like good cue builders. Nice 223 you have. There are many old Remington 22's that are still more accurate than any newer 22's I've shot.
Don`t you find the trigger on the AUG a little "mushy" I have tried a few freinds AUG`s that they use for IPSC rifle shooting and the trigger is the weak point on that rifle, not sure if that is true for the newer AUG A3 though...
I prefer the SIG 551/552
