    Kestrel Density Altitude issues

    Re: Kestrel Density Altitude issues Just popped it open to have a look. Started at 2170 when I opened it up. After letting it sit for a while all on it's own, it fell down to 2130-2117 after 3 minutes, jumping from 2100 to 2070 after 5 minutes. It's fluctuating about 3-7 feet fairly constantly.

    Kestrel Density Altitude issues

    I took my new Kestrel 4500 out to the range and tried to start recording some data for the day. The density altitude kept wandering, no matter what I did. There was a slight breeze and I held the unit steady at arms length. The numbers either kept climbing or falling alternately. Just did the...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics Knobs?

    Re: US Optics Knobs? Lazy's prices are the best. Got a quote from him a little while back and no place around beats it. Talked to USO and they will do just about anything you want, but the labor cost isn't cheap. Best to get what you want the first time.

    Rifle Scopes ONGOING Changes at USO

    Re: ONGOING Changes at USO I've been trying to get a hold of someone at USO for two weeks. I guess they must be busy. Had some issues adjusting my scope according to the instructions. Left two messages. I'm close to driving down to their shop. Edit: Just got a call back and they got me...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Nightforce?

    Re: USO vs Nightforce? I just picked up a USO SN3 5-25 and I can tell you it's a big scope and has some weight to it. I plan to use it mostly at the range, but you may want to take that into consideration if you're going to lug it around in the woods. Still, it's an outstanding piece of glass.

    How would one cut the foam insert to match rifle?

    Re: How would one cut the foam insert to match rifle? Also a source for inexpensive foam. Haven't used them myself, but I've heard good things. http://www.foambymail.com/CR/solid-charcoal-regular-foam.html

    Re: How would one cut the foam insert to match rifle? There's an awesome ARFCOM thread on that. Here's a link: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_4/292695_Cutting_Gun_Case_Foam__lots_of_photos_.html&page=1 A buddy and I made a cutter, but it takes some time and patience to get it right.

    How long do you run brass in Tumbler w/ SS Media?

    Re: How long do you run brass in Tumbler w/ SS Media? Same here. I started with a sonic cleaner and that just wasn't cutting it. Then my buddy burned his hand on it, so that got sold. It's taking us about 3 hours to get sparkling from filthy

    Rifle Scopes Made a Second Focal mistake

    Re: Made a Second Focal mistake I'd look at the features you want as well. Zero stops, EREK knob, some of these guys have unique options. As others mentioned, USO lets you get some custom features. Check their site out and play around with the builder. S & B has fewer options, but still...

    Rifle Scopes Ring height for USO 58mm Scope on AR flat top

    Re: Ring height for USO 58mm Scope on AR flat top Thanks for the info. Called Badger and they got me the exact model I needed. Mount is in the mail and costs about half as much as the USO offering. Not QD, unfortunately, but I'll cope.

    Rifle Scopes Ring height for USO 58mm Scope on AR flat top

    Just got a USO SN3 5-25 with a 58mm objective. I need to get some rings for it so that it will clear the rail on a flat top AR (6.5 Grendel) I saw the sticky at the top, but I wanted to ask some of you experienced guys to be certain. Also, any thoughts on a QD base? Pros or cons?

    is it normal for 3/8" AR500 to dimple at 100??

    Re: is it normal for 3/8" AR500 to dimple at 100?? Had the same thing happen to the LV Steel target I have. .223 eats it up a bit, especially if you hit right on the edge. The one I have has a heart swinger. Since it moves it seem to take less of a beating.

    Bipods: Why I'm Returning a Tangodown for an Atlas

    Re: Bipods: Why I'm Returning a Tangodown for an Atlas Just an FYI for you, the Atlas doesn't have a lot of cant (tilt) built in. Probably more than enough for realistic conditions, but I don't shoot off of uneven surfaces enough to say. Loading the bipod feels different between the harris...

    Electronic Ear Muffs or Plugs?

    Re: Electronic Ear Muffs or Plugs? I got the behind the head set. It's not possible to put them on backwards unless you ride the short bus. Did a comparison over the weekend against $50 Peltors and the Howard Leights. They are nicer, but only marginally. Not 4x better by any standard. I'm...
