SnipersHide (and Frank in particular) might rub some the wrong way but that site has a wealth of long range shooting info on it that isn't cohesively available in a lot of other places.

    I'll confess to surfing the web rather widely in pursuit of varied views:

    Disaster preps and insight: Louisianashooters.com -they had a front row seat for Katrina and the aftermath
    NFA related: silencertalk.com / nfatalk.com
    Gun Control (what the anti's have in store for us): Calguns.net - a look at what all those CA license tags in CO have designs on.
    small bore specific: rimfirecentral.com

    While I enjoy CO-AR, my keyboard wanders from time to time and SnipersHide, from what I've seen, isn't the devil.

    You just have to be careful with the AAC bias on silencer talk but there's definitely a lot of good (and bad...) information scattered around the various forums.

    -all too aware, sadly.

    Each site seems to have their pet brand (there's a shrine to all things BCM on M4Carbine...and I only have BCM uppers but that's a prime example).

    Yep. And pet personalities. There are some forums that have members it's absolute anathema to disagree with. That's bad juju and unnecessarily stifles discussion IMHO but at the end of the day the site owners have the say.

    Back on topic, I remember reading that thread when it was 3-4 pages long. I had no idea it turned into such a nut roll. Best of luck to Sniper's Hide.
