    NEED ADVICE: Private Range Shut Down by Sherif

    Re: NEED ADVICE: Private Range Shut Down by Sherif Every State is different but i don't think rental agreements are enforceable when property is sold.The people in question I believe have a life estate.Unless they are willing to allow you to sell the property you might not be allowed to sell...

    F T/R Competition First focal plane and second focal plane

    Re: First focal plane and second focal plane Yes that is true its a visual thing.With an increase in power comes an increase in reticle cross hairs to the size or proportion of the magnification.In a second plane they figure it out with math and set the reticule lines at a determined value.So...
