    Holographic sight question

    Just put the dot on the target, no matter what the position in the viewing lens. No parallex.

    Savage Impulse

    I have six of these, plus a 1911 Schmit Rubin and have never seen any ball bearings. You described it pretty well, functions much like a M1, or AR15 for that matter, just manually operated instead of gas powered.

    Savage Impulse

    Not quite, but getting close, K 31 was first fielded I think in 1933, design standardized in 1931, So really around for only 87 years. One of my favorite milsurp rifles, I have six, along with an earlier 1911 Schmit RUbin

    Red dot on spotting scope.

    Having a Kowa TSN 82-SV I find that I have problems aiming the scope and acquiring my target. I have been playing with mounting a red dot, and so far have used a short piece of Picatinny rail with a 1" riser to the the red dot above the plane of the angled eyepiece. The taper of the scope...

    Ball head vs Geared tripod head for spotter

    I just got a Manfrotto 405 geared head. It has a collet ring at front of each fine tuning knob. Twist it and you can quickly move that axis, then fine tune with the geared knob. It's not as quick as a pan head but smooth. The advantage is that you can keep your movement in one plane at a...

    Ball head vs Geared tripod head for spotter

    I tried a ball head and just plain did not like it. Maybe if the scope had an extremely wide field of view and it had been a better quality head it might have been different. I just picked up a lightly used Manfrotto 190go pro tripod, with twist lock legs, for a song from Adorama, condition...
