I've never been flying plate cracking shooting, but I would like to. Friend of mine shoots clays and keeps inviting me, but haven't had the chance.Shooting gun is pretty awesome. I've tried some before and i recommend you to hunt or do the flying plate cracking shooting.
Just in case you folks are interested, looks like Cabelas has PPU .223 and 5.56 for 5.99 a box right now. Free shipping code 97FREE if the order is $99 or more.
Cabelas also has Savage bolt rifles in several calibers for $319.xx with a $100 mail in visa card offer. Looks like they have .22-250, .223, .308, 6.5 creedmoor, and .204 Ruger.
Hopefully some of you all can get in on some good cheap ammo or some affordable rifles.
Wow, the CMP is still selling Service Grade rifles? I thought they'd be sold out long before now. Even when I was looking at CMP rifles back in like early 2011 they seemed to becoming more and more scare. I ended up picking up a Field Grade (minor wear but overall looks pretty great IMO) Garand in early 2011 some time directly from the CMP North Ohio store since I was car shopping in the area. It was like $525 and for the price, by FAR the best firearms purchase I've made. It's really in pretty good condition and is one gun that I do not ever intend on parting with. Hope yours is just as enjoyable!I have all the parts coming for an AR10 rifle build, which should be fun. I also sent innmy order packet for a CMP service grade M1 yesterday as well. Looking forward to tinkering with both, though I will have to wait on the AR10 until after elk season, I think the parts are going to arrive when I’m gone.
If you are looking for a tiny compact 10-shot 9mm pistol the SCCY CPX-2 is on sale for $159.99 w/free shipping at Combat Armory. I've never fired the gun, but it felt good in my hands at the local gun shop. The grip and gun was pretty narrow so it should conceal easily, and 9mm is better than a .380.

Any clue how it compares to the Beretta Nano? I have one of those that I carry, and while it's a great gun for concealment, it's a bit of a bastard to get used to shooting.
Those are pretty similar guns, but do have some distinct differences. Here is one of the many articles out comparing the two: http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/06/gun-test-beretta-nano-vs-sccy-cpx-2/Any clue how it compares to the Beretta Nano?

I've shot the SCCY CPX-1 but not the 2. The one I shot has a pretty long trigger pull. Maybe not quite as long as a Kel-tec but pretty long with quite a bit of slack before it breaks. For the money, not a bad pistol if you're willing to get past or get used to the long trigger pull.
How the heck does anyone become 'comfortable' shooting something much smaller than one's hand? I'd be afraid the moment I went to grip the fucker it would flip around and shoot me. Mind you it is all personal in terms of to each their own, but I can never get comfortable handling anything not a full frame handjob. LOL
Comfortable is a relative term. To me it means shooting your carry gun enough that you are convinced of it's reliability, accuracy and can operate it intuitively in an emergency. If you've got big hands then maybe you need a slightly larger gun. The only thing that really matters is that you feel the gun fits your needs, and that you are mentally prepared and vigilant enough to make sure you are responsible and do no harm with your firearm.
I carry a Taurus PT-111 Millennium G2 9mm which is a bit bigger and heavier than the Nano or SCCY. I fits like a dream in my hand and I enjoy shooting it. It has a wider double stack, 12-round magazine and an aggressively textured grip that I think helps a bunch. When I held the SCCY is felt lighter, skinny as heck and that would take me bit to get used to. In comparison, when I last shot a Beretta 92FS the grip felt a little large in my hand. Maybe I have manlet hands or it's just from shooting mostly single action revolvers with slim grips.
