    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS QC Issues?

    Likewise, I have an XRS, and I have pounded the bejeebus out of that thing (in a small light skiff across open ocean). It has always held zero and dialed correctly. Gotta be a fluke. Keep us posted as to how Bushnell responds.

    AICS or PSR Butt Stock on Accuracy International AT Rifle

    I'd suddenly be interested in tracking down an AT if I could have it with the ax butt stock.

    Proof Research Barrels Accuracy?

    I have one on a trued R700 as well which I use for hunting. Love it, precisely because of the weight savings. It it as accurate as my Bartlein. Chambered in 6.5 cm. Love that gun.

    Remington 700 5R upgrades. Advice appreciated

    Strongly support going with a Kirsten cheek rest, then spend the remainder on glass. Maybe try for a used vortex hd gen 1, or a new bushnell. I also strongly encourage going first focal plane. As you get into this endeavor, you will notice that there are a number of tasks that you need to...

    Rifle Scopes h59 or tremor2

    I use a Bushnell XRS with an H59. I love it. Any busy-ness is gone after an hour or two of shooting. Keep in mind, with a first focal plane scope if you are not able to see enough of the reticle because you're shooting at 1k and you want higher magnification simply dial up a few mils, and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    I've been blessed with having used a number of pistols. H&K, Sig (p series and 1911), Springfield (xd and 1911), as well as Glock. The Glocks are as reliable as the best of them, and truth be told, that is my number one demand in a weapon, that it fire when its been asked to. Having said...

    Rifle Scopes Which Horus?

    I have an H59 and I routinely take it out to 735 meters. I am a fan. It is fast, and using it affords me the ability to focus on good body position. I have a great deal of deference for the salty dogs who run the show here, indeed there is a great deal of experience represented here. I live...
