    Early NX8 Issues?

    The only explanation I can come up with is extreme sample variance. My experience basically mirrors Glassaholics. Trust me, no one could deal with my scope. Everyone that has used it hates it.

    Early NX8 Issues?

    I have owned the NX8 4-32x50 F1 Mil-XT for several years. It is the most frustrating scope I have ever played with. I cannot get a clear sight picture no matter what I try to do with the adjustments/settings. It definitely has a shallow depth of field and poor edge to edge clarity but I could...

    Good all around bench vise.

    I really like the Wilton Bullet Vises. Mine is the 4 1/2” Machinist Vise. It has been discontinued but they still have the 4, 5, or 6 inch models. Prices have gone up considerably.

    DeSantis or Trump

    Tell me why the establishment is united in their hatred against Trump but DeSantis, mostly, gets a pass. When he gets the the same vitriolic hatred leveled at him I may start to pay attention. Am I the only one a little suspicious? Regardless………nobody is voting their way out of this mess.

    Recommend some Steel Toe Work Boots

    Thorogood wedge soles are extremely comfortable and break in relatively quickly. Redwing if you want a stiffer boot with a longer break in. Shorten the break in period by dipping the boots in warm water, wearing them dry, then applying your favorite leather conditioner.

    Which backup-handgun for hunting?

    In that case I would go with the Glock but as for me personally would still go with the 20 😆 The gun needs to be lightish and handy or you will end up leaving it behind at times………in my experience.

    Which backup-handgun for hunting?

    Glock 20 or Glock 40 if you can handle the extra length.
