Re: EAA Witness

I have a TZ 75 (pre-Witness) and its by far my most accurate 9mm. I had to put fully adjustables on it to take advantage of it.

Re: How good a gun is the KelTec P32?

My wife loves her P32 and I'm jealous because finding .32ACP is far easier to find, and at a semi-reasonable price to boot.

Re: CZ Rifles

If for scope use, go with Varmint, Silhouette or American. The hogsback stocked really are more for iron sights. Can be done, but you probably won't feel all that comfortable.
