    Rifle Scopes Should I have a pro mount my scope?

    Re: Should I have a pro mount my scope? I say try it yourself. I recently mounted my own scope for the first time and it was not as bad as you might imagine. I highly recommend you get a Borka torque wrench and read up. There are some great step by step articles or links on the hide that...

    Army Sniper School

    I just read that the Army basic sniper course was extended to 8 weeks. Any guys in the know that can verify that? Just curious what kind of changes were made. Thanks

    10th Mountain Div Sniper folley

    Re: 10th Mountain Div Sniper folley We ran into a very similar situation a while back. We were forced to give up our 24's and were told that we would just have to work with nothing but M110s and 107s. Two months before deployment we get a call to go pick up two brand new XM2010's. It was...

    Fieldcraft Ghillie Base Questions

    Re: Ghillie Base Questions My first inclination would be that a combat shirt would not be durable enough for a ghillie top. Even if you did get a good skid plate to cover the front I would imagine you would still have problems with the stitching. Most of the combat shirts I have seen have a...

    Rifle Scopes Seekins Rings in Stock

    Re: Seekins Rings in Stock I recently ordered mine straight from Seekins. They were backordered but only for a few days. Better than nothing.

    Which watch

    Re: Which watch Suunto has great customer service. Not sure where their bad rep comes from? It is a huge company so most of it is run through email instead of a friendly voice but you have to expect that with a company that large.

    Which watch

    Re: Which watch I love my Suunto Core. Very user friendly and looks good too. Only issue would be a rather short (compared to my last gshock) battery life.

    Just some equipment thoughts

    Re: Just some equipment thoughts I don't shoot comps so I can't speak on the "prize table" aspect but I do appreciate that I can log on to the Hide and get pretty reliable info on just about any piece of shooting equipment I want info on. I have realized there is a "clique" just like trevor...

    Combat Loads

    Re: Combat Loads In Astan right now with a similar situation. I bounce between the 2010/110/and m4. I tried using multiple chest rigs but it got to be a pain in the rear so I just mounted everything to my chest rig. At this point I usually patrol with my m110 so I have it set up for that...

    Rifle Scopes what power of a scope would be best

    Re: what power of a scope would be best I would agree with 10x but keep in mind that you cant go wrong with going higher. I have mostly used a 10x but recently got a 20x for my work gun...man what a freaking difference that makes past 600m. If you think you ever want to push it farther than...

    Plate carrier questions

    Re: Plate carrier questions I understand your concern but honestly why would these companies sell a product that could possibly lead to breaking a ballistic plate? The majority of these bottom loaders have a retention mechanism in addition to the visible closure. Maybe rethink it to broaden...
