    Rifle Scopes Eotech??

    POF 308 will not eject

    Re: POF 308 will not eject After reading this thread, it gives me new perspective about POF customer service. There's people out there bad-mouthing POF CS. Even though I decided to keep an open mind and not totally dismiss that brand, I admittedly was a bit skeptical about buying a POF...

    LWRC REPR

    Re: LWRC REPR Short answer: yes, good price. most are asking $3000 to $3200 used, but I've seen a few used that came under the $3k mark recently. Long answer: Know what you're buying. REPR's had 3 issues: 1) Magazine catch failure - due to a change of design from C Products which LWRC...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon scopes

    Re: Trijicon scopes 5-20x50 Accupoint: No BDC reticle No MOA or mil holds No zero stop SFP Scope has excellent clarity, durable, no battery ideal for tactical situation, but at 20X power, you really need most of features above to fully utilize its usefulness. It's a scope with lots of...

    Re: PIC REQUEST: 10X at 1000M +1. Thanks for posting pic Jon A. I read all over about IOR's great glass, but this sharp picture puts it in perspective. Nice clarity out edge to edge. How's the durability and re-zeroing?
