    Rifle Scopes BC Scope caps. Anyone given up?

    Without divulging too much information, I'm tired of the BC scope covers breaking on me. I've literally had dozens break with normal opening/closing. Fortunately, I have the resources to make a dependable, sellable alternative that is geared to tactical shooters and serious hunters. What...

    Who has worked behind a gun counter? A few pointers before your next trip

    I've done my fare share of working behind a gun counter and I've had some great times, but there have been times when customers have nearly given me an aneurysm. If you haven't worked behind a gun counter, here's a few things I've learned from being on the other side: 1. Just because I...

    Is Boston using a polite term for civilian sort of Martial law?

    Looks to me like these folks were "asked" out of their homes.

    Eberlestock Gunslinger II

    Re: Eberlestock Gunslinger II As a hunter, I bought a Gunrunner and wish I had bought the gunslinger instead. I will probably get rid of the gunrunner as there's just not enough room. The scabbard rocks but I've learned to keep your rifle ready, unless walking in and out in the dark. Period.

    QD Bipods?

    Re: QD Bipods? On this subject, I've met some guys who've used the stoney-point bipods that are actually freaks about them... I'm a little skeptical but I think they'd make a decent hunting setup.

    Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries

    Re: Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries Wow- Out of 14 Kestrels that I've seen run hard for 5 years strong, I've never once seen the batteries leak. I wonder if using them frequently leads to more replacement batteries, which leads to less need to replace. Thanks for the heads-up. I think...

    Hunting & Fishing Am I crazy? 1-4 power on a meat-gun

    I'm looking at getting a lighter bolt gun with perhaps a Vortex Viper 1-4 PST for hunting mule deer and elk. I have a fixed 10 power on a budget "precision" build (SPS tactical, SS10x42, Bell Carlson Medalist Tactical). Last year, when a buck that was shot by a friend trotted in front of me at...

    .308 Ammo for my 700 SPS-V

    Re: .308 Ammo for my 700 SPS-V FGMM 168's are always an incredible deal. I can get them for about $16/box but the retail is about $18-23 depending on how hard you hunt for it. -Phil

    Long action with a SA cartridge

    Re: Long action with a SA cartridge I believe you could "block" the bolt so that it doesn't go back too far and "block" the rear of the magazine so that it shortens bolt travel distance... much like the Tikkas. -Phil
