I just received my Grayboe renegade and DBM today. The DBM did not include new action screws of the appropriate size and length as I am typically accustomed to. I have tried a few local hardware stores with no luck. I also have looked online, and not found small quantities of appropriately...

I received the XTR II today and so far I am pleased. I may just not know what I am missing but I was able to glass a hill close to where I live with it and the image quality surprised me in a good way. After reading some of the negative posts on the scope I was beginning to wonder if I might be...

Well, based on the largely positive feedback on the XTR II and the rebate I was able to snag a 5-25x50 XTR II with the SCR Mil reticle for a great price. I don't have a lot of experience with high end optics to know what I might be missing in glass, but it sounds like it will be sturdy and track...

So far, it looks pretty split between the two initial options, plus some suggestions for others to look into. I appreciate the feedback! I would like to figure out a way to look through both of them before I buy, so I will work on that. Maybe I will try to shoot a match with my current Bushnell...

I want to upgrade glass from my Bushnell Elite 10x scope and I have been leaning towards picking up a Burris XTR II in 5-25 or 4-20. My LR experience is limited as I am primarily a USPSA and carbine shooter. I haven't really used the illumination on my 1-4x carbine scopes. I haven't shot a PRS...

Re: Defensive Knife for Gov Employee Take a look at the Spyderco P'Kal. Great folder and due to the 3 inch blade its legal places even small fixed blades aren't.

Re: G17 upgrades On a 2-300 dollar budget I would change the sights- I have the Redback 1 sights and they are nice, but I like the Dawsons a little better (my other guns have Dawsons so it could just be what I am used to). Do a .25 cent trigger job. Done. Then find the nearest range that...

Re: Filling the butt end of a polymer stock? I needed to get some weight in an ADL stock so I used fiberglass resin to both glue in some old steel pushrods from a Trans Am and then added some wheel weights. I didn't drill a hole, I just removed the buttpad and poured. Worked like a charm for...

Re: Dillon for match grade ammo There are some tips for tweaking the dillons in both Zedikers handloading for competition and Tubb's the rifle shooter. As for 550 vs 650 i think it depends on your pistol shooting. I have 2 550s, got into uspsa over the summer and I am shooting 1k plus rounds...

Re: 40 S&W load for sub gun I use WSF for a 6" Glock with 180 gr moly bullets. 4.7 works for me. If you are able to find a powder much slower you may not be able to get enough in the case. I guess it also depends how much room you have in your magazine and throat. I load to 1.12 but guys with...

Re: Official MidwayUSA Codes I just tried AR151235 for a $399 order (Burris MTAC 1-4x) and it came up as expired. I called a customer service rep and she said it was expired, and she couldn't give me any other codes. Maybe there is a new set of codes out? Although it seems the AR15 code...

Re: J-Frame Holster If you carry AIWB Kytac makes an awesome holster. I made my own and I love it.
