    Night Vision Swarovski Optik rocks!!!

    10 yrs. ago, I purchased a pair of Swarovski Optik 8x32 binos. Worked flawless until last month. One of the adjustable eyepiece's broke and the adjustable part would just fall out if you were not paying attn. Called Swarovski Optik service Dept. I'm thinking 4-6 wks, no binos, BS hassle...

    Food Stamps for Ammo WTF?

    I was scrolling thru "RiverofGuns" web site and come across a post on Armslist where the poster was offering up $500 worth of <span style="font-weight: bold">food stamps for Ammo</span>. My first thought was this is taking fear, panic, irrational thinking to a level that is hard for me to...

All the pics appeared to be stock factory or gun show pics. It was...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Prostaff for hunting?

    Re: Nikon Prostaff for hunting? I have 4 Nikon's two Prostaff's, a Buckmaster and a Monarch. They are pretty good scopes for the money. When you look thru the Prostaff 3-9x40 glass the whole area, then pick up a 3-9x50 and repeat. They may be about $30 more but I think you will be impressed...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace

    Re: Falcon Menace I have owned 3 Falcons, still have 2 and sold off 1. All 3 worked for me without any warranty problems or broken parts. However, when I first started with long range rifles I asked the same question because of start-up money. Over the years I have owned 6 new from Matt...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P226 vs Beretta 92a1 for Accuracy

    Re: Sig P226 vs Beretta 92a1 for Accuracy The SigP226! Myself like most who shoot handguns own both. I shoot the Sig 90% of the time, it has to do with the feel, fit, for me. Translates into confidence with that "I would bet my life on" this handgun. I am impressed with the 92FS but shoot the...

    Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR?

    Re: Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR? Thanks TP, Nice common sense approach to the delima I am in. The 10/22 does lend itself to a semi-custom build with readily available parts. Since they are both semi's they cannot be held to the same accuracy standards as the bolt actions which I...

    Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR?

    Re: Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR? Well, it would appear everyone uses a bolt gun to practice with just like me, no input on semi-auto, semi-tactical .22's I priced both of them, big difference in price. Likely to go with the Savage, maybe I will post a writeup on that one. Thanks, JOE
