    Sidearms & Scatterguns WInchester 1200 Marine

    My sister gave me this after here husband passed and I had never seen or heard of them. Seems they are a rare shoot gun made of stainless steel for use on boats where the wet conditions and corrosive salts would eat a steel shot gun a live. Anyone have an idea of what it might be worth? Edit to...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Engage Rifle Scope

    I have yet to mount this on a rifle due to not having a set of rings on hand and not sure which ones to buy. I also haven't warmed up to the reticle or that tactical turrets. I just not a tactical type guy and had to use tactical type weapons back in the 70's may have turned me off to tactical...

    Spotting Scope Lenses problem

    Got a box from UPS today and inside was a brand new Bushnell Sentry Bushnell sent in replace of fixing the old Sports View. They did the same thing with the Trophy rifle scope and sent a higher value scope to replace it. The Sports View cost me $30 on Flea bay and the Sentry retails for around...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Engage Rifle Scope

    I have 2 of the old (1970s) Japanese Banners fixed power that seem like they want to live for ever and probably will as long as they stay on the light recoiling rifles they are on.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Engage Rifle Scope

    I've had 3 scopes on the 300 wm and they all have held up so far and they are Burris E-1, Vortex Diamond back and right now there is a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14X44mm sitting on top and will be reluctant to take it off since it is working well there. The Burris E-1 is a 3-9X40mm with a G4 dot and...

    LOL I hear yeah. Being a free_be if the 300 kills it I'm wondering if Bushnell will replace it? A 300 Weatherby killed the Trophy I sent in for repairs it replaced.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Engage Rifle Scope

    Thanks for the replies. I figure it will be OK to play with and learn how to twist dials to hit targets or just use the other hash marks if they coincide with the rifle caliber I put it on. Right now thinking of a 7mm Rem I have in the safe that needs to be shot or a 300 wm might be interesting...

    338 Wm Loads

    Very curious to see how the 230s work out. RL 17 gives good speed in the 338 wm from what I have seen with my use of it.

    Manual Scales

    Thanks for the replies. I was over on Accurate shooter forum and they were discussing ways to improve their scales and one thing they were doing was sharpening the knife on the scale beam . My 1970s vintage RCBS 10-10 has never been touched in any way since it was new from the factory so I...

    Manual Scales

    I have a small electronic scale I use for weighing brass but when it comes to weighing powder I use a manual beam scale. I don't load large quantities of ammo so I don't need the high volume electronic powder thrower measures that is now popular. Anyone else using beam scales and which ones do...
