I've never had nor seen any CZ jam. Great guns and priced reasonably on top of that.

I have one like that only olive drab.

I think they make some in FDE.

But with 5 round mags?

Chako · **Reply #1382 on:** July 02, 2015, 12:20:23 AM

No...10 round mags max for center fire handguns in Canada.

HarleyXJGuy · **Reply #1383 on:** July 02, 2015, 12:31:31 AM

Ah ok then.

Was surprised someone would use a CZ P07 if they could only have 5 rounds.

Chako · **Reply #1384 on:** July 02, 2015, 12:59:16 AM

In Canada....

- Handguns - 10 rounds limit for centerfire.
- handguns - 10 rounds limit for rimfire.
- Rifles - 5 rounds limit for centerfire.
- Rifles - No limit for rimfire.
- Shotguns Pump - No limit.
- Shotguns Semi-auto - 5 shells max.
- Shotguns (all types) hunting - 3 shell limit.

So that about sums it up...however, there are some weird things out there. For example, if your magazine was designed for a larger different caliber, and you can stuff more smaller caliber cartridges into it and will work with your firearm...you are good to go.

I did not know that but that appears to be the case.

Dealer having difficulty finding a distributor with a flat dark earth SCAR 17 .308 so I burned my credit up on a "Magnum Force" gun.

You can never go wrong with a revolver.

buck · **Reply #1388 on:** July 04, 2015, 06:30:35 AM

I'm thinking about a LWRC REPR, another piston AR .308 rifle. Anyone have experience?

How many mags does one need for 2 gun, 3 gun fun? SCAR .308 deal is back in play, though maybe the light SCAR would be the better option, not that I give a flip about competing. Its more a function of which gun I want to hear go bang on a given day.

All of the three and two gun matches around here give a round count but you can almost always get away with two mags for a rifle.

There is also a heavy metal division for the 7.62 guys.

SCARget practice: tried various ammo available to see what this light SCAR likes. Seemed to favor the 55 grain Fiocchi and Remington. The best I've ever done with ANY rifle was about an inch at 100 yards with much higher magnification than what this ACOG 3.5 power affords. Also the center dot of the horseshoe reticle pretty much covers up the target at 100 yards, so that's other limiting factors.

Here is what the ACOG horseshoe reticle looks like (not at 100 yards though).

You can see the shadow of Chui 's ears in the top right corner of target #2. For some reason he thought the targets were interesting to sit on.

I have two assistants that like to do the same thing...especially if I place the item to be photographed on the bed.

I'm unable to determine the condition of your Python but even in average condition these wheel guns are bringing substantial prices,congrats.

Mine sports a Burris Fastfire III,since my eyesight is not as good as it used to be.

buck · **Reply #1405 on:** July 08, 2015, 10:00:26 PM

My camera phone is poor, more so for Colt royal blue. The python is in great shape, minimal bluing wear.

We need more SCARfaces! Do it! Say hello to your little friend! If you're in Austin you can try mine out if you like.

This is not so true anymore, the value of good condition Pythons is falling rapidly.

Being the good guy I am I will give you 300 cash money for either of yours. Just so you don't lose anymore money then you have already buying what is at best a archaic out of date firearm.

Your welcome.

Why you need a SCAR instead of a bolt action for wild pig.

Chako · **Reply #1408 on:** July 09, 2015, 01:54:24 PM

Yeah...I think I would want a semi auto for hog shooting. Those things are tough and mean.

toolguy · **Reply #1409 on:** July 09, 2015, 02:41:06 PM

I've shot hogs in both Tennessee and Florida and have never needed more than one shot.Firepower is never a substitute for shot placement.My first two hogs met their demise using a S&W model 29 .44 magnum with an 8 3/8" barrel and open sights.

My next hog was dispatched with a Thompson/Center Cougar {limited edition of their Hawken} which was chambered in .50 caliber.I was using the T/C 370 grain maxiball in front of 90 grains of Goex FFG black powder.I hit that hog in the left front shoulder at a 45 degree angle.The bullet traversed the entire body at this angle and exited at the right rear quarter.That hog only ran 15 yards downhill before he expired.I never did recover the bullet.

Buy a Scar because you want it,not because of a video showing a hunter substituting firepower for good shot placement.
