Quite a few hunters in the group for sure. I figured the HD stuff would be hard to find, so really leaning more towards the hunting side of things. Took me a few years to convince the boss it’s a good idea, so I probably shouldn’t show up with an AR, AK or anything “scary” looking...at least...
I’m looking at purchasing a shotgun and hunting rifle for a company giveaway. I have a hard limit of $750 per gun, not one penny more. What would be your suggestions in this price range and also considering decent availability at most LGS.
I’ve looked at the Stoeger M3500 and Weatherby SA-08...

New, unfired Weatherby Vanguard Camilla chambered in 7mm-08. Gorgeous rifle that has been sitting in my safe since I got it last spring. The Camilla has a shorter stock and length of pull which makes it nice for smaller framed shooters, women and youth. Also includes the NIP Talley...
Anyone have experience with the Bushnell Nitro series scopes? I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-6.5x24mm on my 3-gun rifle and it is fantastic. I'm sure there's a quality drop from the Elite series to the Nitro, but how much?
I'm looking specifically at the 4-16x44mm Bushnell Nitro at...
One thing that I've found with new shooters is that they like to know they are hitting something (i.e. reactive targets). Steel is good, but my kids love popping balloons with the .22 and (if you don't mind cleaning up a mess) drilling shaving cream cans with the AR. Could even let him touch...
I can tell you without a doubt that it is not a high school shot put. Boys' shots are 12 lbs and Girls' are 8.8 lbs. Maybe a College/Olympic Shot, but definitely not HS. You're welcome...
They are all games and no substitute for proper training. Box size, division, blah, blah, blah. Be safe, have fun, practice skills you've learned in training, evaluate your gear selections, become a better shooter. If you feel that you can't effectively deploy your EDC in this setting, how is...
Your goals for your first match should be stay safe, don't DQ and have fun. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
They operate under "cold range" rules, so no loaded firearms or gun handling unless under the direction of an RO while getting ready to shoot a stage. Gun handling other than that...
These are the ones I have.

Looks like there are some cheap knock-offs out there just like these that may work. I believe in "buy once, cry once". YMMV.
If you...
+1 for this setup. I have the exact same setup for USPSA/3-gun and I really like it. The Double Alpha belt is very secure and sturdy. I second the comment about ordering one size larger than your actual waist measurement. If you do lose the weight, no biggie. You will just have more overlap...
I will definitely be trying a USPSA match with this. There is that much drop out of a 16" barrel? MV/energy should be much higher than a pistol, but I suppose it is still a heavy bullet compared to the MV. Might need to get a 13F in front calling the artillery shots...
Just shot my first steel match with the CZ Carbine and i'm hooked!!!
Anyone using a PCC for 3-gun? Anyone have a good ballistics chart for these things out to 300 yards? Enough energy left to activate a flasher?
