    Rifle Scopes Schmidt bender or kahles

    This. You’re splitting hairs at this point because you’re looking at two very high end optics. In addition, each persons eyes are going to be a little different. That said, I’ve consistently been able to resolve images faster and with less eye fatigue on an SB. I ended up selling my Kahles...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt PM II finicky eye box? Anyone?

    No, it's not a forgiving eye box.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt PM II finicky eye box? Anyone?

    What do you mean by "touchy"? Do you mean that it's not as forgiving and that you have to be in the right spot in order to see clearly through it? If so, that's someone common on them. Once you set it up just right, it should be perfect every time you look through it. The eye box is not as...

    Yeah, I lived there back in 1997 when the government was confiscating and destroying weapons...

    Rifle Scopes Any news on the BEAST?

    I have a sick feeling that once it's officially released, the price point will be higher than originally thought. I hope I'm wrong.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns stupid 1911s...i don't know why everyone loves 'em

    I have owned most every 1911 and the TRP is a great gun in that price range. BUT, the 20 LPI front strap checkering is too aggressive in my opinion and creates an uncomfortable shooting experience. For that reason alone I recommend the Dan Wesson with 25 LPI checkering. The Les Baer is super...

    Rifle Scopes Premier, S&B, Kahles or March?...

    I have owned all but the march, so take this with a grain of salt. I just sold my las SB 5-25 and went with the Kahles 624. Kahles is the tactical arm of Swarovski and so the edge to edge clarity and overall brightness is fantastic. The tunneling on the SB was really annoying, but more so I was...

    DTA in .223????

    Any news on this?

    Good read on why we should "jam" VLD type bullets

    That happened to me with Google Chrome. But, I pasted the link into Explorer and it worked. Try that.

    Got my DTA

    Welcome to the club! Great rifles, and you get so used to shooting them that regular bolt actions feel out of sorts. The only reason I still have another bolt action is that Mark from SAC hasn't released the 223 conversion just yet. What's up with that Mark?!? :)

    Rifle Scopes Help me with a new rifle build optic choice..

    The MK6 is very tidy. Of that list, it's my favorite because it tracks well, has great glass, and seems pretty tough. I've used each scope on that whole list except the Premier Hunter, and I'm a fan of the MK6. Good luck!
