This. No issues ever - keep the cans wrapped in their paperwork, let them check your firearms and be on your way. Like all security check points. Raising verbal issue with your material will only draw unwanted attention to yourself.

Through a .22 you get a pop about 2' in front of your barrel. 5,56 is freaking loud but ok with an M4k just not exactly quiet. Gas guns are far louder to the user than anything else.

Don't get me wrong, I love Kowa's optical performance and cost wise is much more bang for your buck than the high end Swarovski ATX HD. Kowa (like Leica) will lifetime warranty any workmanship defects. The problem with scopes I've personally seen is that freak wind that topples it over, or...

Agree with XOR. I think a cheap safe is a cheap safe no matter if it's mechanical or electrical lock. A quality safe is going to cost $4-10k depending on size. Even a little TL-15 isn't cheap.

Damn that is terrible. How old is the safe again? If you paid with your Amex card from costco they give young year beyond the mfr warranty

Yeah it's $12 more for tan

Who is going to shoot a CZ at the Olympics or even at the Dewer match at Perry?

Oh and if when your kowa goes tits up be prepared to break out your wallet. Swarovski will be much more likely to take care of you and even if they have to replace something you broke that isn't covered by warranty it most likely won't cost you much (if any). That's my only concern with my...

Nothing compares to kowa but swarovski. Here is the run down by cornell university on optic quality. Just remember that swaro atx 95mm had not been released so it would have taken first most likely as the lens of the massive 95mm swaro would resolve better than the 88mm Kowa. But again the...

That's a damn 50bmg automatic and the entire receiver is flexing. They are notoriously hard on scopes and everything else. I doubt a 30cal is going to do a 1/10th of that movement even at the tip of the barrel lol

Yeah, Meopta are good. Resale isn't there like the others mentioned but they are amazing glass too. The Swarovski HD scopes don't become game changers until you step into the atx series with swarovision & field flatteners.

Kowa 883 and 884 are the same scope body just angled vs straight (your preference). Kowa - although I have used an older Kowa scope all through my competition days - is not my favorite scope mfr but they do have the best glass in the prominar series .... if you're not stepping up into the swaro...

Maybe I will buy one and see what the fuss is about. But now I'm looking at my 1913 in a sexy new 2018 stock... So much win. I wish I had a place to shoot 3-4x a week. http://www.creedmoorsports.com/shop/Anschutz-1913-in-1918-Alum-Stock-Precise.html

Ok agree.

I'm back tracking a little OP: if you're serious about precision .22lr; I would also recommend an Anschutz but not the 64... If you're truly serious about shooting competitively (something like Camp Perry) you will need a 1913, Walther or other Olympic class .22lr. You'll show up with a...
