Re: Flashlight Question I have a Novatac that was given to me so I no idea about the price, but I have been really pleased in all aspects of it. For a light operating on one 123 battery it has a decent run life and plenty of power. The small size is a plus.

Re: Quick release scope rings For what it is worth, I've had rather good service using the Warne rings on both ARs and my Remington .308s. Good return to zero every time I've tried them.

Re: Data books "Impact Data Book.... Period." Not just one! One for each rifle you shoot. I just finished six months of reviewing the most usful aides to long range shooting and a data book was item #2 on the list. I took for granted that the reader had a rifle, optics and mounts. It must...

Re: What wind meter? "Kestrel" It's been said but deserves to be said again. I look at a wind meter the same way I look at a range finder and ballistic program for the Ipod. They are great learning aides. There is no way of learning how to judge distance, wind and drops if you don't have a...

Re: Bug Out Bag suggestion? For what it is worth.... I did a little research after the 2008 Shot Show. I was preparing an article on BOBs and noticed that during the time span between Feb. and June of that year, there were only two weeks where there was not a forced evacuation somewhere in...

Re: Looking for a good Chronograph I've used an Oehler 35 for more years than I care to remember. Any false readings could always be blamed on me. I recently cemented a base in front of my shooting bench so all I have to do is stick it in the holes and go to work. The chrono stays lined up...

Re: Oehler 35P vs PVM-21 I have been using the Oehler 35P for more years than I want to admit. For awhile it was a pain to set up for short range sessions. This past couple of years I was able to build my own range and now I have stands for it set in concrete. Just stick the screens on top...

Re: Not really the norm- Wood stock rifle??? Shop the gun shows. Good hunting rifles are usually the first thing to go once someone gets short of cash. Blued rifles with walnut stocks just don't sell as fast as the black on black tactical setups and there are bargins to be found. Most will...

Re: New Hornady 178 BTHP load Last week the trouble was a trigger, this week it is a keyboard.

Re: New Hornady 178 BTHP load FYI I tried a box last week in two rifles. Rem. 700 20" = average of 2655 fps Rem. 700 24" = average 2707 fps Typical measure from 10 feet, average of 10 shot strings. With firing four five shot groups at 100 yards, I had one flyer on each group that would always...

Re: Single Action Sixgun - What ya'lls got? Thank you sir, everyone needs one gun that makes no sense.

Re: Single Action Sixgun - What ya'lls got? Here is my "woods walking" handgun. It started as a regular New Model Blackhawk in .357 built in 1976 with the "Liberty" inscription. I added a Bisley hammer and one thing lead to another. I traded off photography services to have it engraved...

Re: A gift from my Grandfather Fantasic gift. Did you let him know I am up for adoption? Early 1911 frame and hammer. I'm not sure about the slide but it is a military contract as per the two tone finish. Leave it as is and enjoy.

Re: WASP Injection knife I did a review on them for Tactical Knives magazine and will say that it worked as they said it would. Now you have to decide if it solves a problem that does not exist. No way am I going to go after a shark with one! Watermelon yes, sharks no! In most cases you...
