    Problems with Magnetospeed V3

    UPDATE: I received my V3 head unit back from Magnetospeed. Yes, if I am careful with the buttons, I can get the menu to move one line at a time. I do think it is excessively sensitive, but as long as I can operate it with care and get it to do what I want it to do, it's OK.

    Problems with Magnetospeed V3

    I sent it in, and they said they were unable to duplicate the problem, it worked perfectly for them. They offered that if I would let them keep it for a while they'd look into changing the code so the firmware is less sensitive to scrolling so quickly. I declined that, since they say there...

    Best case trimmer

    I have a WFT and have been quite disappointed in it. Gonna get one of the Girauds instead.

    Problems with Magnetospeed V3

    I did report the issue, and they said that until I reported it, they had never had a complaint about it... but that the same day I reported it, they got another very similar report. They figured it was from someone I talked to (WTF?). They also said that they would let the engineers know about...

    Digital scale recommendation

    I have been using a Gempro 250 for about a year and a half. It's been a frustrating year and a half. It's slow, zero drifts like crazy, and doesn't keep up when trickling. Fortunately, it has finally gone TU displaying "ERR 1" all the time. I have had it with digital scales. Ordered a tuned...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell warranty nonsense

    It sure is. I posted about my experience with their lifetime warranty on my elite handgun scope above.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell warranty nonsense

    Near as I can tell, to Bushnell "lifetime" means until it breaks. Once it breaks, its life is over.

    Problems with Magnetospeed V3

    The V1 and V2 have altogether different switches, but no, the V1 I had did not have this problem.

    Problems with Magnetospeed V3

    I have used my V3 a couple times. One issue it has is the switches. If I want to archive a series, I press the center round menu button, then the down arrow one click. It ALWAYS goes down 2 lines instead of 1 line to the "Delete a Shot" line, and I have to arrow up to get to "Archive Series"...

    Rookie mistakes

    Haha... I have blown holes in many sandbags (mine) with my S&W Stealth Hunter .44 magnum until I started laying a piece of leather over the bags. ;-)

    Cutting foam in a pelican case

    I cut mine out with a $12 Black & Decker electric carving knife from Amazon. Some tips: Lay the stuff out on the BACK side of the foam and make your sharpie or chalk marks on that side. When you are done cutting, flip it over and you have a clean unmarked side to put your stuff into. I also...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell warranty nonsense

    I had a similar thing happen with a Bushnell Elite 2-6X handgun scope. After about 200 rounds of full power .44 mag, the eye relief abruptly closed down to about 10" (it used to be about 20") and the magnification was about double what it should have been (getting about 4x mag when it was set...

    I'm Old, but New Here

    Hi Folks My first rifle was a mail order surplus Mauser 98. Even came with a bayonet. This was probably back in the late 1960s. I got the bug and bought a Winchester Model 70 in .270. Then a Remington 700BDL in 7mm Remington mag. Then I got bitten by the assault rifle bug, and bought a...
