    Shooting With Sunglasses

    I have to wear my glasses when I shoot, I wear progressive lenses. They are also transitions. I just got used to it. The big thing that I noticed is that some scopes work better than others with the glasses. I have two primary scopes. One is clear and bright even with the dark lenses. The...

    Spotters Kowa Prominar vs Vortex Razor... Have we done this?

    I currently have the 1st gen Razor. My biggest complaint is the focus. It is so "precise" that if I am looking at something that is moving, if it moves a couple steps away it goes out of focus and I have to adjust. I am constantly having to adjust the focus. I have been thinking about the...

    Alaska incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola wins full term to represent state's at-large congressional district

    The sad thing is that Mary Peltola, who is as liberal as they come, ran a very clean, family oriented campaign. The two conservatives ran very negative campaigns, and basically acted like spoiled entitled children. Anyone that voted with out looking at the issues and just goes by adds and what...

    40XB Issue

    Thanks for the replies. As far as ammo, makes no difference. I shoot Eley Match and Tenex to Blazer and Golden Bullet when I am plinking. They all do it. The rounds after the flyer go right back to point of aim. I have lived with this ever since I got the rifle from the CMP in the early...

    40XB Issue

    I have a 40XB that I got thru the CMP. I primarily use iron sights and can keep all the rounds in the 10ring on standard 22 targets at 50 and 100 yards most of the time. I have found that the barrel like to be clean when I start shooting. The issue is that out of every ten or 15 rounds it will...

    Impact of cold on rimfire ammo

    My shooting temps during the year are from on average, mid 60s to about -20. However thanks to global warming, the last couple of winters have rarely gone below 0. I shoot a 40X and a 52B. I use Eley Match and Club. I shoot out to 100 yards. I see no change on my targets from the 60s down to...

    2020 Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals

    I to finally got through the MDT site and got everything that I wanted. Although I was not planning on getting a Ckyepod, I figured that with as much time as I spent going through this I might as will try and get one. It went into my cart, so I guess it was meant to be. As time went on it did...

    Rifle Scopes FFP and Glasses

    Well, I had some other people look through the scope, and no one else had a issue. So it must be me and my glasses. I am due for a eye check up. I think I will bring it up. Thanks for all the replies.

    Rifle Scopes FFP and Glasses

    I am using the, as the manual calls it, "fast focus eyepiece". Every time I change power, I also have to turn this to bring the reticle back into focus.
