    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Agreed on the Magpul! The gun ran great and has continued to since the class. 1,500 rounds so far and no issues. I found a nice addition by taking Magpul forend grip intended for an AR and mounting it to the shotgun. It allows for a nice finger hold for indoor carry and it gives a larger...

    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Hi Ray_G After a solid 1,500 rounds with this setup and about 300 of them at night with both handheld and weapon mounted lights, I will be reworking the light solution. At Gunsight, our first night drill was using a handheld light. Then we moved to weapon mounted lights and on the first shot I...

    Archery - Looking for some advice from bow hunters!

    Hi, Hopefully we have some bow hunters here. I currently have a Samick Sage recurve bow with 35lb limbs. I've been target shooting for a couple of years and I'd like to get into hunting with it. The plan is to set the bow up for deer in Arizona. Here is what I am trying to decide and could use...

    5 days at Gunsite for Defensive Shotgun 260 and Advanced Tactical Shotgun!

    I spent five days at Gunsite taking their 3-day Shotgun 260 and their 2-day Advanced Tactical classes. (Days 1, 2, and some of 3) Before last week I thought I knew how to shoot a shotgun. It turns out that I didn't. Instructor Dave Hartman from Gunsite's Shotgun 260 and Advanced Tactical...

    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Not a fear of gunsmiths. In fact, I have had Hans and his team to some work on one of my rifles, talk about a nice guy, Hans is great! For this gun, leading into a class, I did not think that it needed or justified a $400 Vang Comped barrel or even a bunch of silver solder work. However after...

    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    In preparation for a Shotgun 260 course at Gunsite it was time to take stock on what equipment I will be using for the class. I've had two Mossberg 500 shotguns sitting in the safe for several years. One is a plain Mossberg 500 that came with a 28" and 18.5" barrel and a 5-round magazine. It is...

    Alaska Overland Show

    I've explored AK a little bit myself and talked with a lot of people who live there. The trail system is largely made up of out and back dead end trials that go to mines and logging areas. Complete through trails that allow you to traverse large sections and keep going are less common. There are...

    Poll- Do you actually sleep inside?

    I like sleeping inside the vehicle for the simplicity. I don't feel like I have to, I'll sleep just about anywhere and often default to a ground tent or a bivy. Having a sleeping arrangement setup inside the vehicle allows you to get to bed quickly at the end of a long day or start early...

    Jeep TJ Stereo Speaker Replacement Options?

    Ok, I know very little about speakers beyond the basics, so I'm looking for some recommendations. I'm looking to replace the stock speakers in my 1997 Jeep TJ. 4"x6" in the dashboard and 5.25" in the overhead bar. At this point I'm not planning to replace the stock head unit or any of the...
