I heard the show report (show 75 part 1), I also have been taught in a fighting knife class that the D2 steel is great and weather / water resistant and keeps an edge.
I bought one 1 year ago this month and I have not done the test that Paul did, it has never been sharpened but has not been used a lot.
The only one I know of is made by Benchmade and at Cabela’s.I knew I forgot another, AIM has the Prvi PArtizan 168 Gr Sierra Match for $15.95 : http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=AP308HP168&utm_source=AIM+Surplus+Main+List&utm_campaign=7f4acb9412-7_24_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6870497a6a-7f4acb9412-18694985

Guys, just so you know, I wrote this about CTD, however if you see my post on the main page about where to get quality 308 ammo cheap, they (CTD) are on the list.
Love the Moisin Nagant, with my first (unfortunately sold it) I could it clay pigeons and big pieces of them open sights at 200 yards.
Still not sure on the sights. My 5.56 I have Magpul BUS and a Trijicon tripower. I have both in line (pop up the sights and they are in line with the Trijicon) and both set at 100 yards, with my preferred round.
I am thinking of making some changes on my 308. Right now I have the flip up sights set up for 100 yards (sighted in before the scope was installed) and the scope sighted in at 200 yards with my preferred round.
Problem is looking through the irons with the scope still attached is very difficult, so should is “align” them with the scope at 200 or ditch them and get one of the 45 degree sets and sight them at 100 and then “tilt” the rifle like I have seen in 3 gun or leave them alone.I have a “backup” iron site question.
recently the new iron sights at an angle are getting popular, for years, I have used them in line with my optic with the theory that if the scope is down I still “view” the same way, down side if the damaged optic blocks the view.
What is your view on in-line compared to angled backup sights?Should I use my premium ammo on a long gun to get on paper at 25 then at 100 then sight in at 200 or should I use inexpensive ammo for the 25 and 100 yard shots?
Today cost me 57 round of premium 308 because at 100 yards, round 8 I noticed the scope mount was loose. Took off, locktight / red, installed back then 12 more rounds at 100. Went to 200 yards, found 1st round the trigger guard bit me. 1 of 3 screws holding rifle to stock was 4 or 5 turns loose. Tightened up, checked at 100 and was now 6” low, stat over…Just a heads up, NEXT Saturday May 24th is the monthly 3 Gun shoot at the American Defense Academy in the “Ozarks”.

You can shoot at 10 am or 1 pm. As usual, I plan on shooting the 1pm time frame.Here is my question, especially for Good Guys and Gals.
What is the preferred name when addressing a Law Enforcement officer? No necessarily a friend or acquaintance but when meeting them on the street.Cop or Policeman or Officer or ?
I have heard you use Cop when referring to yourself. My father was in LE and insist it should be Officer.
