    < $400 work bench?

    A number of years ago, I picked up a HUSKY workbench with shelves underneath, two sliding drawers, a pegboard back above the table top and a shelf top from Home Depot for $199. The work table does have a sheet metal covering over a wood table top core but it has been ideal for an RCBS reloading...

    308 Tack Driver Gas Gun

    Being an old school guy, my gas gun is a SAI M1a Supermatch with a Douglas barrel. The rifle is a 1979 vintage, ser. no. 013xxx, but it shoots pretty well, as per the below target. I'd recommend one of these. Harry

    Rifle Scopes Why so many razors for sale?

    At the risk of stating the obvious, if the market for used Vortex Razor Gen II scopes is glutted, and you sell, you may be set up to buy high, sell low. I have 2 Gen II Vortex Razor 4-27x59s and a Vortex Razor Gen I 5-20x50...they have performed flawlessly and have great glass. As a young guy...

    So Sorry to hear of this. I have read, and heard, nothing but good things about Mr. Gradous, his work and his rifles. Harry

    Rifle Scopes One Scope On Multiple Rifles

    I just picked up a Vortex PST Gen II 5-20x50 mil/mil ffp that I'm going to mount on one of my M1As. Since I use a Bassett Machine Low Pic Mount, it is a quick change mount and, having swapped a Viper PST Gen I moa/moa between two of my M1As before, I expect it will require only minor changes to...

    Who’s going shooting tomorrow??

    I'm going to do some scope mounting, some gun cleaning, and some ammo reloading. Being in the high risk cohort, I'll maintain solitude and get ready for the season...when it finally starts. Harry

    Possible JAE news?

    I very much like the Archangel stock on my M1A. I would replace it with a JAE when available. Harry

    Help with watch and backpack.

    BTW, if you have an REI store near you, they carry Mystery Ranch packs that you can examine and try. Cheers, Harry

    Rifle Scopes Picking a Reticle, what is your favorite?

    I've used Vortex EBR-2C Mil reticles and like them. I recently got a Vortex Gen 2 4.5-27x56 with a Horus H-59 that, so far, I like very much. Mil/Mil reticle and adjustments FTW. Harry

    Help with watch and backpack.

    Watch: Casio G-Shock Rangeman -- had it for 3+ years, accurate, tough, auto-syncs with the Ft. Collins, CO Atomic Clock, measures barometric pressure and pressure altitude accurately Pack: Eberlestock GS-II -- somewhat heavy but useful for carrying my rifle, 2 L. hydration bag, and with...

    Need to replace my electronic ear muffs,

    I bought some Peltor 500s a couple of years ago. Both fine function and BlueTooth compatible. Excellent ears. Harry
