Re: TEXAS Does Paul sell memberships at CSAT? I thought that was just a training facility not generally accessible to the public. Saleen

Re: Inverted mount for spotter No, I don't. Both are folded lightpath scopes so they are compact, but with most tripods they sit awfully high for prone work. I've seen rigs where the FLP scopes have been mounted offset and inverted to reduce the profile in use. I found one fancy-pants...

I have a Mark 4 and a cheaper Bushnell Excursion spotting scopes that I'd like to set up with an inverted mount. I've seen a few pictures of such mounts over the years, but several google searches has turned up nothing. Any hints? Saleen

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy My two scopes arrived this last week and I got the last one mounted on my son's rifle last night. Initial impression is very favorable. In fact, I think the glass is at least as good as my Night Force. I like the feel of the NXS turrets over the...

Re: Good Guy List NWDan is GTG! Great communication, honest description, and a well packed / protected box. Purchased a Leu VX3L from him, and can't wait to use it on the gun. Recommended without reservation or hesitation. Saleen

Looking at the Leupold website, I can't figure out what the height of their rings are in relation to the centerline of the scope and the surface of the base. I'm trying to mount a Leupold VX-3L 4.5-14 (40mm obj,30mm tube) on top of an AR15 being set up for hunting. This will be a dedicated...

Re: Need help buying my first AR http://www.palmettostatearmory.com/2557.php If I read that correctly, that price INCLUDES the Aimpoint PRO and QRP????? That's an incredible value, I wouldn't look any further than that! Saleen

I have been loading with my 4 hole Lee Turret for years, but it's always bothered me how the actual turret floats a bit when seating or resizing. I looked at a Redding T7 press and was impressed with how solid a piece of equipment it was. In theory it would seem that my Lee press turrets...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy I just called yesterday and added the throw levers to my order (this is the second time I've called to add something and the staff at SWFA have always been fantastic!) If ya'll collect team patches, I'll see if I can secure one or two from our...

Re: Mitchell's Mausers Unfortunately the pictures are not representative of their lower priced ones..... And I have a problem with their "Accident of history" advertising. They merely pimp shine a typical mixmaster RC and sell a story. They charge a premium and prey on uninformed would-be...

Re: Mitchell's Mausers They absolutely do re-stamp them, and I'd wager that the "rare" stamps such as SS runes and death heads that they charge a ransom for are forged. The re-stamped force.match serial numbers don't look right, and I suspect thY the bolts.are new as they are in the white...

Re: K98 Sniper build begins I did have issues with the dovetail on the base be size it is bolted to the base with cheap screws instead of being machined from the base as the originals were. At about 100 rounds accuracy went away, and the problem was diagnosed as the loose dovetail. I was...

Re: K98 Sniper build begins I did one of these several years ago using a Czech post war unissued K98k for a base. I've been really happy with it, and it's been hunted with several times. Accuracy is nothing stellar, but it ain't too shabby: I have another czech post...

Re: 1903 springfields! I have two Springfields. The first is actually a Smith Corona that I got for a song and ended up building it into a tribute 1903A4 using a Lyman Alaskan scope. It's a damned accurate rifle, but I haven't taken any really great pics of it that I can find. I hunted...

Re: Texas SWAT issued ammo? We issue Hornady 60gr TAP to both SWAT and patrol. We have issued M193 before as well, but that was because we couldn't find anything else at the time. Everyone remembers 2008/2009, right? Saleen
