    Rifle Scopes FFP vs SFP

    I have three FFP scopes and wouldn't want to go back to SFP. I normally hold instead of dialing. But even when I dial I usually only dial elevation and hold windage. I shoot long range steel in an outdoor area with shifting winds. I wouldn't want to be contantly dialing changing wind values. I...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Help Please...

    Since Opticsplanet carries Vortex Optics I would imagine you could get the Vortex Razor 5-20 with a discount. As was posted above that is an excellent scope for the money especially for a 338. The other scopes Optics Planet carries I would consider is the newer Bushnell Tactical scopes in the...

    Rifle Scopes Quick Detach mount for Vortex Razor?

    I would get the American Rifle Company M-10 QD-L it comes in 35 MM and I think their mounts offer a superior design. See the review on this site's home page. I run a set of their low rings now and plan to buy the M-10 for my next scope. Americanrifle.com Regards, 224Man

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kahr PM9 vs Springfield XDS 45

    My wife carries a Kahr P9 which I have put quite few rounds through. I carry an XDS 45 as my on duty backup weapon. I have put hundreds of rounds through the XDS and never had a malfunction. I find I am far more accurate with the XDS because of it's superior sights and far better trigger. The...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry knife preferences

    I have owned and carried Cold Steels, CRKT, Kershaw and Benchmade. Currently I carry a Manix 2 XL G-10 in my right pocket and a Spyderco FRN Native in my left pocket. Both plain edge. Eventually I will add another Manix 2 or XL for my left pocket and move the Native just to gym wear. Both are...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking to buy 1911. Suggestions?

    I would recommend Springfield Armory or Ruger in that price range. I owned a poorly built Kimber TLE2 and personally experienced the worst customer service I have ever seen from a firearms company. I invested $500 in the gun just to make it functional. The stock finish rusted horribly...

    Rifle Scopes Need 34mm AR Mount

    I would consider adding a stock pack or a Magpul PRS to your rifle. The PRS would let you fine tune the cheekrest, add length of pull adjustment and rear monopod capability for $300 less than the premium scope mounts. I can't imagine that reducing the scope bore offset by .1" per $100 would...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical HDMR 3.5-21x50mm Review

    I have two of these with the H58 reticles on my 308s and am very happy with both. I look forward to your review of the 1-8.5. I currently run the Aimpoint Comp M4 on both of my 223s (Sig 556 Classic and Tavor) I am tempted to pick up a variable if I don't lose too much speed at building...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a new FFP Scope

    I have two Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21x50 with the H58 reticles. They are on my bolt and semiauto 308s. I have dialed and used the reticle for shooting steel out to 700 plus on many occasions. They are a very solid scope 34MM tube with great glass. I know some people have had CA issues but both of mine...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns When do you carry?

    Re: When do you carry? I am ALWAYS armed. You need to have a new mindset to go along with your carry permit. You need to train constantly and be mentally ready to intervene when appropriate in life and death situations. If you don't constantly train, have the right mindset and always...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Safariland ALS vs Blackhawk SERPA thigh rigs

    Re: Safariland ALS vs Blackhawk SERPA thigh rigs I have used the Safariland 6280 SLS for years and wouldn't use anything less.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What knife would you recommend

    Re: What knife would you recommend I would recommend this Benchmade Swale for your application. It doesn't look threatening. But it is just as good a weapon as something more likely to be confiscated or get you in trouble because it looks evil instead of like something a gentlemen would...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell v. Vortex v. ??

    Re: Bushnell v. Vortex v. ?? I own two of the Bushnell HDMRs. The glass and construction quality is fantastic. At the group buy price on the HDMR I strongly believe the PST would be a mistake. The glass is fantastic. The construction is solid and precise. The adjustments are excellent and the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why I will never buy another kimber

    Re: Why I will never buy another kimber My Kimber 1911 had a plastic mainspring housing. It broke when I dropped the gun. Kimber was an ass about replacing it with metal. They wanted to charge full price and make me pay shipping to punish me for not taking another free plastic housing...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Military switching side arms again?

    Re: Military switching side arms again? I love my 1911, but for a mass production military pistol the HK45 is a lot more practical. The M-1 carbine comment does make me wonder why we don't adopt an HK M7 type PDW to be carried by personnel that can't/won't carry an M4.
