		<description>Don&#039;t be discouraged by a holes like that.  You keep doing what you are doing man.  Sometimes I like to hear what the average Joe like myself has to say about a gun.  I don&#039;t always like to read only what the self proclaimed experts have to say.  They always say the same old boring things.  Its like all these &quot;professional&quot; gun writters cut and paste their reviews from some sort of database sponsored by the gun manufacturers.  In fact, I don&#039;t recall ever reading a bad review.  They always say something nice.  I guess it is kinda hard to get free things out of the manufacturers when you are brutally honest.  An unbiased opinion is always welcomed in my ears.  Your experience with this rifle is probably closer to that of which will be mine.  Or at least much closer than to that of a &quot;professional&quot; gun writter.  So, like I said keep doing what you are doing, some of us do appreciate it.</description>

		<title>Comment on Right handed, Left handed, Wrong handed? by Chris</title>

		<description>It seems very unlikely that gun manufacturers would start making more left handed rifles, even if every left handed person in the world desired to shoot.  Everything is made for right handed people, not just guns, and since there are FAR more righties than lefties, the demand from lefties will never be enough.  Your only hope is for every right handed person to suddenly quit shooting.

I have the opposite problem.  I am a righty who feels far more comfortable shooting lefty (which also means with my weaker eye).  That said, I am in the process of converting to righty for two reasons:  I wanted to shoot with both eyes open, and I simply can&#039;t with my left eye, and I wanted access to more guns without having to go on epic searches to find one for a lefty (and pay a lot more for them).  I got tired of the gas from the AR 15 (and other guns) going up my nose (it burns badly on occasion).  

Now the one advantage I have is that I shoot just as competently right handed, it just feels more natural shooting left handed.  When I pick up a new rifle I immediately shoulder in on my left shoulder as a natural reflex, then &quot;remember&quot; that I have to switch it over.

My trick (which may work as well for a person switching to lefty because of the scarcity of left handed guns) was to buy a thumbhole stock Savage 17 HMR - http://savagearms.com/93r17BTVS.htm - which is available in a left handed model - http://savagearms.com/93r17BTVS_LH.htm).  There is nothing even remotely ambidextrous with a thumbhole stock and forces you to shoot righty (in your case lefty).  It has worked well, but as I said I am as competent with either hand.

Either way, I would recommend that 17 HMR.  Most fun gun I have ever shot.  Small caliber (you&#039;re shooting a glorified pellet), but straight as a laser - unlike a .22 LR it actually feels like a rifle with a serious bang with no kick).  You should be able to get 5 shots in a dime at 100 yards, and if you have varmint (racoons, ground hogs, squirrels - all of which are problem animals where I live) they are toast (anything smaller than a fox is a goner at 100 yards).</description>

		<description>reply to your &quot;After Thought&quot; - the 260 is a good choice but to really play with all the accessories that are used on AR&#039;s may i suggest the TUBEGUN (which utilizes a rem 700 action)

the Tubegun is based in concept of the Tubb200 rifle but at a price everyone can afford and no i dont have a tubb or a tubegun for that matter --

		<description>Personally, I don&#039;t take the slippery slope argument.  I&#039;d like to consider each bill one at a time, and weigh its merits and demerits.  But that&#039;s just me.  I certainly won&#039;t claim that we&#039;re not fighting an uphill battle, in terms of public support for gun ownership, or that we won&#039;t see more and more increasingly restrictive legislation.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a very active grass-roots effort underway at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/forumdisplay.php?f=71&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Calguns.net&lt;/a&gt; to contact the Governor urging defeat of AB 962 (and SB 585, the Cow Palace gun show ban). Please write the Gov. Schwarzenegger and urge him to veto this bill — he&#039;s our last chance to avoid another huge insult to our Second Amendment rights.

Not only will AB 962 effectively ban Internet ammo sales, it will also further accelerate the isolation of California from the rest of the U.S. Already, many individuals and dealers won&#039;t sell or ship guns or accessories to California — between fear, uncertainty and doubt (some created purposely by our DOJ), and yet more paperwork, most just prefer not to deal with the hassle. AB 962 will be yet another (and possibly the final) nail in the coffin of individual rights in California.</description>

		<description>Hello 
I was a test tech, for many of the company though out New England and was one of the techs, that worked on the original design for the M16 in this Cal .223, so i said this to say that 

after receiving my VTR in .223 for evaluation, I set up the VTR with a Bushnell 6-18X50 scope level it off the bottom flat of the barrel and leveled the scope to that point of reference then bore sighted it for one hundred yards then took it to the rang for final zeroing in upon set up and firing i found that while the stock felt flat in my hand the crosshairs were cocked off left at the top to right at the bottom it puzzled me for a moment and when i went and fired my first 3 rounds found the shouts were way off but after leveling the crosshairs (not adjusting the scope ) it came in to almost zero I am a sub zero shooter so I mad my adjustment from there and I am now at less then a nickel pat, and getting closer I found that the stock doesn’t fit the barrel and receiver right and can cause the rifle to set badly in your hand if you are not aware of it or taking snap shoots but by doing the setup as stated and leveling your crosshairs on target this can be a sweet shooting rifle

Thank You
