That Sig X5 L1 is gorgeous! What caliber is that?

"That Sig X5 L1 is gorgeous! What caliber is that?"

It comes in .40 and 9mm. I've off'd everything but 9mm and .357 Sig- P229 Sport. So would probably get it in 9mm with 19 rounds of love to share.

It's supposed to shoot 1 inch groups at 25 yards if you're capable of shooting that well.

I'm curious Mitch, do you find a big difference between shooting the plastic and steel framed hand guns? Doesn't really faze me after shooting my .44 Magnum.

I have a unique one in this. Dead on if you can get past the hard trigger pull. I am in the process in changing the spring for the trigger.

Just sent payment on this Sig 556 Commando:



Didn't even know I needed one. It'll go nice with my Colt Sporter- funny name for a gun.

I'm thinking to get a precision rifle, with more tactical flavor, not for match. What's your opinion on these:

Have you looked at anything from H. S. Precision? They make some very well thought of rifles. I myself am rather enamored of the Remington 700. It's a well developed rifle with excellent accuracy out of the box. There are also a lot of custom and precision components available for the Model 700 and they are fairly straight forward to work on. I assume you know of Brownells in Iowa. I've been very happy with the Leupold LRT scopes; my .308Win wears a 4.5-14x50mm LRT.

Wow. You aren't playing around. Is your optics budget as grandiose?

What's the longest range you shoot?

I've seen lots of praise for these guys as well:

"I myself am rather enamored of the Remington 700."

I always wanted one but never get to shoot any distance worthy of it.


Picked this up locally Thursday.

At Gunsite a couple of years ago, I was able to engage a reduced steel sillouette successfully at what mil-dotted out to be 1240 yards with my Model 700 in .308Win using a 175 grain Sierra MatchKing. In June of this year, using another Model 700 in .243 Ackley Improved, I was able to fly some 70 grain Sierra BlitzKings into some unsuspecting prairie dogs between 750 and 800 yards away. Long range shooting has its particular satisfactions. BTW, nice pistol.
