    Rifle Scopes Venting on Leupold warranty process

    Leupold has reps watching this forum, hopefully one sees this and reaches out. I had a Leupold scope that went in for warranty and they sent it back saying it checked out OK. I posted extensive testing results on the forum here afterwards showing it was not in fact OK, and one of them PM'd me...

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42 vs NF ATACR 4-16x50

    Build quality and durability. The LHT might bare the Razor name, but if you pick one up and play with it, it certainly doesn't feel like Razor quality, and I'm not just talking because it's lightweight. There's a post somewhere on this forum I believe regarding the LHT maintaining it's zero, I...

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42 vs NF ATACR 4-16x50

    Two different leagues when talking the LHT vs ATACR - it's neither better nor more durable than an ATACR. I'm impressed with the clarity and weight on my LHT, but if funds would allow, I'd take the weight penalty and run an ATACR instead.

    Garmin Tactix 7 Unoffical Support Thread

    I noticed the same battery drain that started suddenly with mine as well, I turned WIFI off and it's back to normal. I've always had WIFI on before, the software hadn't been updated recently, and no other changes other then I pulled it off the charger one morning and noticed the next day I had...

    Bighorn Origin for first PRS Custom build

    LOL, if you can bust a pinned 8-40 screwed rail loose your scope is toast and the rail is the last of your worries, but OK... I've got two Origins - they've left me wanting nothing. I don't think there's a reason to spend more then what an Origin costs on a custom action.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3 vs XTR Pro Initial Showdown

    Having purchased an 18x XTR3 after looking through a 30x XTR3 I can confirm this is absolutely true.

    Best Custom In Ear Electronic Hearing Protection

    I’ve had my ESP’s about a month now. Incredibly comfortable and the amplification is like nothing I’ve experienced before. It is so crystal clear that I didn’t want to pop a shot off when I first used them as not only did it feel like I had practically nothing in my ears, it also sounded like I...

    Burris Warranty Service is gtg

    I sent my new XTRIII in for subpar glass recently. I like the fact that I got a prepaid label to ship back. Return time was better then stated lead times, and scope came back with new objective glass that solved my problem. They’ve got a really slick online RMA system.

    Do you have a Labradar *and* Magnetospeed? When to use one vs. the other?

    Own a Magnetospeed with Wiser Precision mount but just bought a Labradar. If all of my guns had a pic/arca rail I'd run the Magnetospeed and be be perfectly happy. However; I still have a few guns with regular old sling studs. I get tired of pulling the MS off the Wiser mount and strapping it...

    Garmin Tactix 7 Unoffical Support Thread

    Hit the down button to get to the widget screen. Then scroll down to add and then add the “Temperature” widget. That’ll display the temperature from the watch sensor, although it will always read high when worn on the wrist.

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    I will second this! The target card takes so long to actually create that I never use it. That or at least make the range input so you can individually set the hundreds, tens, and ones position so they can be set a lot faster. It’s a PITA to sit and hold the button especially if your new...

    Garmin Tactix 7 Unoffical Support Thread

    Just got mine today, upgraded from a Fenix 6X Pro. My buttons are pretty mushy compared to my 6X and my down button isn’t always responsive.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR III 3.3-18x50 mini review and comparison to Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50

    I'm going to spend a little more time playing with it before I give up. I had the gun up in the tripod last night and was playing around with the parallax and diopter focus some more, seemed slightly better. It's on a hunting gun, so I'm not spending a ton of time behind the glass on this...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR III 3.3-18x50 mini review and comparison to Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50

    I picked up an XTR III in 3.3-18x based largely on this review and Camera Land’s killer deal. Optically quality has been a huge disappointment though, my sample is pretty bad. Something seemed strange when I had to set the parallax to well over 200 yds when sighting in at 100 yds. I could get...
