BF2S Forums Own a gun? Post your arsenal here.

I like how a simple statement and a question starts a debate on these forums.  But, yea i've done a lot of research about what i've wanted over the past couple years and I may now have a reason to get one.  Never fired a gun though.  I was "wanting" a 10mm auto, but thats probably overkill.  I also looked at the R700 SPS models for target practice.(Large range next to military base south of here.)  Probably want a .308.  Not really into mag although the .338 mag is cool.

Modern revolver vs modern auto

- Which is more reliable

I doubt there's any quantifiable difference in reliability between a quality modern auto and a quality modern revolver. 

- Which is less likely to result in an accidental discharge in the heat of the moment, while re-holstering, loading, unloading etc

that's more an issue of training and practical experience than one design being inherently better than the other.

like I said, both are gonna go through walls.



Went to a new Cabelas today.  They've got a pretty good selection.  A lot of hunting rifles and shotguns I don't give a shit about, but a decent variety of ARs, target rifles and handguns, even some milsurps..  It was too fucking crowded to get a good look at anything behind the counter or under the glass.  The highlight was their "gun library".  amongst the overpriced sporting shotguns and obsolete-caliber winchesters sat a beautiful, used Shiloh Sharps model 1874 Hartford target rifle in 45-70.  Shiloh is arguably the best modern Sharps manufacturer.  It was $2k but I was really fucking tempted to buy it.  The basic rifle retails for $2k brand new, but that rifle had the optional $1k bull barrel and at least a semi-fancy wood grade.  And ordering a new one usually comes with at least a 6 month wait.  I had my wallet in my hand weighing the decision and if a salesman had come along at the right moment I probably would have walked out with it.  I may go back and get it.  The thing is a piece of functional, mechanical art.

Sorry mate, but Russian design in this case is butt ugly

Why does it need to be pretty?

Ugly works fine.

Explains your obsession for Lady Gaga.

Anyone know where I can get stocks for a Rem 700 in Canada? I want a McMillan-style if possible, to fit a 24" barrel in .308, used for target shooting.
