Matte Rifle
can a civilian own a Colt Match Target M4 (MT6400C).?

Match Target M4 MT6400C Colt’s Manufacturing Company
Rifles – Semi-automatic Black Matte Stock: Tele-stock Style Butt Stock Fixed in Position
I live in Utah and the gun is
Semi-Automatic
this is the gun and it is a Semi-auto M4

http://www.coltsmfg.com/cmci/MTM4.asp

Civilian means semi auto, so the rules apply the same as any other rifle. At least 18 years of age, clean criminal background check. So yes, as long as you do not have any reasons you may not purchase a firearm.

Note: Part of the Obama/Biden bill that will be coming up within the next year ( they are both rabid anti-gunners) is restrictions against any weapons with collapsible stocks ( among many other restrictions). If you plan on buying one, do so within the next year before they might be banned.

PS. I bought this same weapon a couple years back for competition shooting in minor calibers. I got the 1 in 7 twist 20″ heavy barrel with forward assist. I can go hole in hole at 100 yards all day long with the 70 grain bullet. Bear in mind that if you get a twist tighter than a 1 in 10, you will need the heavier grain bullet or you will have flyers all over the place.

Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you

Spotting Scope

Spotting Scope
Can anyone recommend a good but cheap rifle scope and spotting scope?

I’m looking for a scope that I can use on my AR and Ruger 10/22.
The spotting scope should have a 45deg angle and a 60mm to 80mm objective.

Stay away from cheap – you’re only going to be wasting your money. There are a number of moderately priced riflescopes out there of reasonable quality. You can find these with brand names like Tasco, Bushnell, Simmons, Barska, BSA, etc. Check out what each of these brands offer. I would generally avoid their lowest-priced series scopes and work up from there. You should be able to find a decent, moderate-range variable scope (3-9×40) from any of these brands for under $100 without buying junk. You’re not going to be getting Leupold or Nikon quality, but you’re not paying those prices either.

Almost the same advice holds true for spotting scopes, although they aren’t subject to the same rough-house handling as riflescopes. Again, you can get a decent scope for around $100 or a little more. What you’re going to give up on the moderately priced spotting scopes is image resolution and clarity at the higher magnifications. This is because of the quality of the optics, so I wouldn’t bother with scopes that offer the 60x-90x magnification range because you’re just paying for a power range that isn’t worth it.

I have been very happy with my Celestron Ultima 65 Spotting Scope. It is an 18-55x65mm zoom scope with a 45-degree angled eyepiece. Celestron doesn’t get a lot of publicity in the shooting sports, but they make several models and they’ve been making quality telescopes now for several decades. I’ve had this one about three years and use it constantly at the range. Been very happy with it. As mentioned above, resolution gets a little fuzzy on long distance targets at maximum magnification, but up to 40x, it’s very crisp.

You can get more info on this spotting scope here:

Hope this has been some help.

Tripod Spotting

Tripod Spotting

Tripods – photographer's best friend

What a tripod that does is create a very stable platform that the device can use and let you go long and not having the risk of camera shake and ruin the image you take. Sure, you can just that the camera is somewhere, but with the help of the tripod, can lock the camera in any position and not be afraid that the unit may fall. But you might wonder how long a long exposure? The factor is the movement of the camera. Prolonged exposure is considered that can not keep your hand steady enough. For example, if you move to wide angle, the time may be somewhere part in the 1 / 30 to 1/60th of a second, but if you come to the right on a long lens, which can be very short, 1/600th or 1/1000th of a second. You might think that this is not a very long exposure. Maybe we need a new term for tripod bit here. You probably noticed that sports photographers are long lenses by pods usually work with Amon, instead of a tripod, on their devices. That is not because the mono pods are better, but because of its ease of changing the location very rapidly than the benefits it brings tripod. Therefore, a single pod is really useful if you need some quick shots at a target length, taken from different positions. Even if you use a tripod, there is the possibility that the camera moves as you shoot. This is because the act of pressing the shutter button can cause movement. Even if the light, the effect of magnifying glass on the camera shake or blur blur. One way around this is to use a cable release or remote control when using a tripod. camera's timer can also be used if you have any of these. So if the camera moves when you press the button shutter, setting out long before the picture is actually taken. Some cameras have a timer option specifically for this purpose, also called a short timer. A shutter speed gives you more benefits than a smaller aperture can be used for some more depth of field or use a high ISO to improve quality. But it is a slight psychological advantage over provided by the tripod to the process of taking a photograph. Only using a tripod will slow, but it is something beneficial. Havent you looked at a picture and said "looks great, but there is a small error, have been detected on this occasion. "So it's a useful thing that makes the tripod. The note explaining the problem is that more time is spent by pictureafter you look carefully it took. It is always easier to detect errors after they made them. Hopefully people understand the need for a tripod and usefulness. The best I can recommend All the world is to get a tripod and use it to improve the skills ofphotographing. About the Author

Ring Scope

Ring Scope
What are the best scope rings to use with a stock Ruger 10/22 Deluxe Sporter .22 caliber rifle?

The scope is a Nikon 3-9X40 Pro Staff, 1 inch.

In firearms, ‘Best’ means absolute top of the line and most expensive. 99.99% of shooters are not Olympic class or trained long range champions – so best is almost never necessary. The best rings cost more than your rifle and scope combined.

The problem with the 10/22 and using nice scope rings in the base attachment is not that great. If you don’t have a good base – then good rings are not important. ( you can’t change a Honda into a Proche by simply bolting better parts to it) The factory drill and tap scheme is for lightweight plastic 22 scopes – your scope is very overkill for for a 22lr.

Change out the stock base screws for hex screws and see if you can install the rings so they do not cover access to these screws. If this works for you – set the scews with red Locktite and proceed with nice rings. If not, then set the screws with blue Locktite and use inexpensive ones. With hex or Allen screws at least you can access them from under the scope and verify they are tight and correct. Consider torx head screws too.

Hope this helps
