Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?
Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? [Reply]
If any of you have any Rare Breed Forced Reset Triggers or the BDU Wide Open Triggers you need to do some research/googling as the ATF is going to be visiting you soon.
I will give you one link here. I am trying not to get political. If this is too far I apologize in advance and will gladly remove the link. [Reply]
Want to get my 18 year old daughter a 243. Which brand/model out of the box has the best trigger? I have a Rem mod 7 youth rifle that's fine except the trigger pull feels like it must be 8lbs or so. I've never pretended to be a smith so I haven't attempted any trigger work on anything I own. Want to get her on a hunt next season and she may need to reach out a few hundred yards or more and I want her to have a light, smooth trigger. TY [Reply]

I have historically not been a fan of Savage, but their accutrigger is well liked locally. My niece and nephew love theirs and they have been good rifles to get them started. [Reply]
I was also going to mention Savage Accutrigger as well. It allows you to adjust the trigger for just about any pull weight you prefer. I've got a Savage .270, and it's my most accurate long rifle.
I'd be a little hesitant to lower the trigger pull too much though, for a young inexperienced shooter. [Reply]
For younger kids smooth is way better than light. Depending on how old the kid is, over 13 light and smooth would be fine. Call some local gunsmiths and ask them if they can smooth out the trigger pull on bolt action rifles. Find out what they can work with then go from there. [Reply]
Remington Mohawk 600 and 660s have great triggers and great actions. Many a high dollar target rifle has been built off of the 600 actions.
They're a smaller carbine type rifle with sub MOA. [Reply]

My shotgun is a Remington Versa Max. Felt recoil is little more than an AR. It's amazing. You can shoot it all day and feel no soreness the next day. [Reply]

Gas shotguns are so much softer to shoot.
I have a jm pro for tac and a ria vr80 i run in open.
I want to upgrade to a benelli, but im on the fence because the jm shoots so great when it runs right. [Reply]

She’s going on 19 and not a kid. Not worried about her flinching but just want a smooth trigger so as to lessen any movement when taking the shot. As you well know, hitting the dinner plate at 100 yards is easy but if shooting at 500 yards, any minuscule movement can result in a horrible miss. Just want her to be able to smoothly “bump” the trigger for the shot……not needing to squeeze or pull. Don’t want a hair trigger but not stiff either. That Remington I mentioned earlier is very stiff.
