Re: DRD Tactical Paratus Rifle I meant to post a link to this preface to Shepard's article. Based on your reply, I am led to believe that you didn't understand that my comment which was merely "It doesn't sound like you and Jim Shepard are buddies any more." was based on Shepards reaction to...

Re: AR 1 inch scope mount Get 30mm rings and 30mm -> 1" reducers, that way if you get a new scope (30mm) later on, you wont have to buy new mounts. Scope ring reducers are only $15.00 at GG&G, and just a little bit nmore at LaRue. I have a set on my AR mounted Leupold Vari-X 3 3.5-10, and...

Re: 1st Paint Job I have to hand it to you, you had a well thought out plan, and your paint job turned out great!! Regards, Rick <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: BattleAxe</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div...

Re: 1st Paint Job Everybody seems to like the job you did, and I agree, it does look good in the pictures, BUT, why would you use rattle can technology on $7-8k worth of rifle and scope? Would you do the same on an expensive car, truck or motorcycle? Regards, Rick

Re: How did you decide on your equipment??? Personally, I do a lot of research and question asking before I build anything. I make three lists with all the absolute features, ok features, and not necessary features and associated costs, and go from there. I get more satisfaction from...

It looks like Otis is pretty much a universally respected gun cleaning kit manufacturer. I'm thinking the Deluxe rifle/piston cleaning system FG211 for $58.47 is what I need, I was going to buy on ebay, but the price is the same buying direct from Otis. Any reason not to get the Deluxe R/P kit...

Re: Nightforce I haven't had to send anything back to NF, but when I was doing research prior to buying my first NF scope I called NF CS. The guy I talked to was so friendly and informative I was amazed, his great attitude sold me on NF, well that and all the positive NF threads here on the...

Re: How many rounds do you shoot a year? Wow, some of you guys are pretty serious about your shooting, which is what it takes to get good, and maintain your skils. I'm new to the sport and trying to get enough trigger time as I increase the distances I am shooting at. So far I have been...

Re: optics mount help requested - Beautiful products, but I don't see the cantilever scope mount on your website, or prices? Is there a US distributor? Regards, Rick

If you have a Vortex Viper PST FFP, and have mounted it on your rifle, what is the verdict? Yay or Nay? Buy or not buy? I have a NF NXS 5.5-22x56 Mil/Mil/HS/ZS on another rifle, and I am totally happy with it. That being said, I am thinking of getting a PST 6.5-24x50 MIL/Mil for my next...

Re: Sage, Troy or JAE? No Expert say it ain't so... I bought a JAE because of how great your's looked. Still waiting for it though. My M1a is pretty heavy with the NF 5.5-22x56 on it, but I'm only going to be shooting it off a bench, so no prob. Did you already sell your JAE? Regards, Rick

Re: How often do high end scopes get revamped? Interesting question. I don''t want to hijack your thread, I think it's related to your post. How different and in what ways is todays Leupold Varix X III 3.5-10x40 compared to a 15 year old model? Or any other scope that is that old, and still...

On an unrelated topic, a comment was made that the more rounds you shoot, the more you should spend on your scope. I can agree with that philosophy to some degree. Not that cost, averaging plays a part, but if shooting is your sport, you owe it to yourself to get the best equipment you can...

Re: "Tactical" store in So Cal I live in OC. Fowlers and the Stockade, which are owned by the same people, don't stock Nightforce. There is a new gun store, Field Time in Westminster (Beach Blvd). They carry Vortex,and Leupold. Thay have a few of the more desireable scopes but no Viper PST...
