    So now that the TT315P and TT315M scopes are getting the Gen 3XR reticle and showing up in stock, just curious if anyone has received one and what you think of the reticle. I've had the mildot and the Gen 2XR, mildot was best for low magnification use...

    SHOT Show 2021 Rumor Mill and What's Coming

    Wasn't quite sure where to post this question so thought I'd start here. A little background, I've been reloading for over a quarter century now and quite frankly I'm getting tired of it - not that I don't enjoy putting together my own loads, testing...

    224 Valkyrie or 6.5 Creedmoor Build

    A few years ago I put out a thread on "Journey to my lightweight AR-10" but sadly all that information got lost in the ether after the transition from Scout to the NEW (better) Hide. I was all set and prepared to build a new large frame AR in 6.5...

    Care should be taken when using angle compensated distances from your LRF

    I posted this in another thread on rangefinders, but thought I should post this as it's own thread. While most manufacturers offer some kind of angle compensated distance mode for their rangefinder, you should use that mode with caution because the...

    Load Development Targets - feedback wanted

    Wasn't sure which forum was the best to post this so thought I'd start here since it is related to reloading (load development). I've visited a lot of websites and grabbed a lot of nice "free" targets but none of them really gave me what I wanted for...

    Not too long ago if you wanted a higher magnification scope in a short package there were very few options, but with the introduction of 4 new scopes to this niche field of sport optics in 2018 the game has changed considerably. Ever since I got my...
