I hear that the gun business is feeling a pinch. With stories like you guys shared, I don't wonder why. Maybe folks just want to have a good, safe time with their firearms without a ration of crap to go with it!
After reading through this thread, I feel very fortunate to have a place to shoot (acreage owned by a friend way out in the sticks) where there are zero restrictions. He has targets out to 500 yds.
