    Rifle Scopes Quality SFP Hunting Scope

    I appreciate all the replies. I’m leaning toward the Athlon or Burris options as they are at the lower end of the price range with an LE/Mil account

    Rifle Scopes Quality SFP Hunting Scope

    I appreciate all the help I’d really like to stay near 2x at low power. I’m leaning toward a burris offering or possibly a vx5. Does anyone know if the Nightforce SHV and NXS have a locking turret?

    Rifle Scopes Quality SFP Hunting Scope

    I’m trying to get some ideas for a durable hunting scope that will mainly be used for hunting 100yds and under but possible trips with shots beyond 300yds. I’m thinking SFP 2x-10x, so I don’t have issues with a fine reticle or worrying about battery to light up a FFP on low power. Capped or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Deltapoint Pro battery life.

    Anyone have a experience with the Deltapoint battery life while mounted on a handgun? Will annual battery changes suffice like an RMR or changes be much more frequent? Thanks

    Savage model 12

    I purchased an old model 12 .308 for 600 with about 250 rnds of various factory ammunition. I really have no use for the gun actually so, what can I expect to get out of it if I try to sell? It is a flat back receiver no accutrigger. The barrel is stainless and fluted but the receiver is blued...

    Back up battery packs?

    I am looking for recommendations for a back up battery pack like the Mophie for charging USB devices in the field. I need to be able to use an Iphone 5 without plugging it in every six hours. Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Tally rings compared to 'Tacticals'

    Which Talleys is everyone referring to? The ones with the base built in, the tactical ones or the standard ones?

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with a chassis?

    I have a 16.5" .308 on order and want to put a DBM on it. I like the folding stock option chassis offer but not sure how I would like it in a cold stand or on drives. Does anyone do it or have tried it?

    Gunsmithing Alright I am flat stuck!!!

    My best guess is a problem with the rings or base. What kind of base are you using?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5x10 alternatives?

    3-12 with backup irons might just be the ticket. Too bad the scope is not on promotive.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5x10 alternatives?

    I have just read that some people are concerned with the durability for LE work. I don't know whether it is because of where its made, does not have the track record to come with it or there is proven real world issues as to why it would be no good. PD's are on strict budgets too so, NF for...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5x10 alternatives?

    Thanks for the heads up. I am really going to have to give it some thought. I am going to call Leupold's custom shop again just to verify they can not put M5 turrets on illuminated scopes.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5x10 alternatives?

    I am looking for alternatives to the Vortex 2.5x10 to combine with a Noveske SPR barrel. It must have illumination a mil based reticle and matching turrets. I don't really care about focal plane at this point. It also needs to be able to handle moderate abuse. I checked with Leupold and any...
