    Movie Theater inception

    Re: inception I really enjoyed it. Not a perfect movie - you could argue that the exposition was heavy handed and excessive. I'd also argue that the emotional core of the story, while there was a bit a underdeveloped. I found it engaging and one of the better films of the last few years...

    Movie Theater Dogs of War

    Re: Dogs of War There's a relatively modern book called 'The Wonga Coup' that deals with another coup attempt that occured in Equitorial Guinea in 2004 - that has some strange parallels to the one Forsyth fictionalized (and may well have financed) in 'Dogs of War'. I recommend the book - nice...

    Which Kestrel do you recommend??

    Re: Which Kestrel do you recommend?? You *might* consider grabbing one of the Bluetooth models (available in the 4000/4500 models), for future use - it's about $90-100 upgrade. Currently it wouldn't be helpful for shooting applications. However, given the capability I'd imagine at least one...

    Rifle Scopes MicroSight - new, experimental gunsight technology

    Kind of an interesting read - will be interested to have a look when/if products make it to market https://inlportal.inl.gov/portal/server....story=DA_549448

    Movie Theater Ronin

    Re: Ronin <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Lindy</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Another good movie is "Spartan", with Val Kilmer, directed and written by David Mamet. </div></div> Good call - got a little off track in the middle and Kilmer failed...

    Manfrotto tripod

    Re: Manfrotto tripod I'll add this - make sure you get something that will go high enough for you, if you're planning on using it standing a lot. The 190 tripod maxes out at 57.5" . Using it with a 322rc2 head, combined with the straight style eyepiece on the USO, it's ends up being just a...

    Movie Theater Tron: Legacy

    Re: Tron: Legacy Lindy - not sure I agree with you, as much as I'd like to. The Academy was more interested in awarding 'The Hurt Locker' than 'Avatar', but box office receipts certainly point to 'Avatar' being much more in line with the 'peoples choice'. While studios will continue to...

    New Pack??

    Re: New Pack?? Afraid I don't have any experience with the Badlands packs - but here's my thought on the Eberlestock. I have the earlier model of the Operator - it's a pack that's worked well for me for hunting. Probably slightly larger than I need in a hunting pack, and a little heavy with...

    Rifle Scopes Seekins Products??

    Re: Seekins Products?? I'd order from Liberty or search the cove. I'd been trying to order a set from Seekins for a couple months - sent emails, left messages, never could get in touch with him. Great rings though - have them on all my bolt rifles.

    TSA's reaction to carrying on a scope

    Re: TSA's reaction to carrying on a scope Not only is screening inconsistent, it's frequently useless. True story - flew out of Prague for London with some colleagues for work, no problems. Flew back the same day with the same co-workers - at the London airport one of them got stopped going...

    TAD Gear Spectre Hoodie LRP v2

    Re: TAD Gear Spectre Hoodie LRP v2 Quality gear - not cheap though (holds resale value way better than sports brands though). Personally the Spectre LRP v2 is my favorite of their softshell designs - I upgraded from a Gen2 Stealth recently - good improvements on it (hood, pockets, material)...

    Movie Theater Graphic Novels, like Preacher, Watchmen ect.......

    Re: Graphic Novels Lots of great works out there - skipping the collected works of the great series (Sandman, Preacher, Transmetropolitan, etc) and focusing on just graphic novels (and collect mini-series), I'd recommend: The Ballad of Dr. Richardson - an unexpected and uplifting work, the...

    Wow, check this out..

    Re: Wow, check this out.. Bailey is a heck of a craftsman and a really nice guy to boot - I'm lucky enough to own a few of his katanas - including an amazing full-dress tachi. It's interesting to see some of the knife makers I know getting into making guns. I got a little cut-n-shoot...

    Would I be nuts...

    Re: Would I be nuts... What I'd say would be nuts is trying to use the same rifle for hunting & target/precision matches. I went down that road myself and ended up with a rifle that was heavier than I wanted to haul for miles while hunting and didn't have all the features I wanted for...

    Slings for AR type rifles not carbines

    Re: Slings for AR type rifles not carbines Depends what you mean by long haul too - if you're talking about walking miles & miles with a rifle, I'd usually strap it to my backpack (or use an Eberlestock pack). If you want something more at the ready the Kifaru gunbearer system isn't a bad way...
