    Hey look, cheap USMC Unertl 8x

    Mine had the original caps but not the micarta case. The guy had one but wanted around $1200 for it. As the scope lives on my rifle I couldn't justify the cost. ....now I sometimes wish I had taken it as well! ;)

    Do you worry about lost fundamentals?

    One reason why the British Army was so late in introducing full-auto (or even semi-auto) weapons as main battle rifles was a greater emphasis on marksmanship over pure weight of fire and a lack of trust in rank-and-file squaddies to make rounds count if issued with anything other than bolt...

    Hey look, cheap USMC Unertl 8x

    Well I paid $5000.00 for my USMC contract scope about two years ago......seemed a fair price at the time. Seen some go for more since

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    After a (too) long layoff from the range......finally got to shoot the Mosin again last week. The good news is I was getting 1" groups over iron sights at 100yds with factory PP and HPS house 7.62x54R. The bad news is that it seems 100% certain that the problems we were having before is down...

    #4 Mk1 T repro on the way

    bountyhunter - great project! Looking forward to see how it unfolds.... Maybe I'm biased being a Brit....but the 303 Enfields are a real joy to shoot! You'll love it. And Roger's scope brackets really are a work of art! Capt. Laidler once told me they used them to replace knackered...

    USMC M1903 A1 / 1941 Sniper Rifle BUILD FINISHED!!

    Guys, thanks for your kind words about the project and apologies for being off the radar for a while. My work situation turned to brown a couple of months ago and, after 7 weeks of enforced R&R I'm now back in work (at least temporarily). jb...will try to do a "family" shot over the...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    Hello lads! Have got a bit of contract work that will take me through to mid February- only problem is it's a two hour drive from the house so don't have a lot of time in the week to do much other than drive, work, eat, sleep!! Makes those 7 weeks of "resting" before I secured it - walking...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    Thanks Scott. Sadly my job has just been "reallocated" to someone in China so all my projects are on hold until I can get back on the ladder!!

    Who's the dirty BASTARD that turned my scope down over 4MOA last time I shot?

    John, that doesn't answer the question of competence, as well you know. Enjoy your weekend.

    Who's the dirty BASTARD that turned my scope down over 4MOA last time I shot?

    Like the Egyptian driving test...drive ten yards forward and ten yards in reverse...Bingo! You're done. Does that make you a competent driver?

    Who's the dirty BASTARD that turned my scope down over 4MOA last time I shot?

    Whoa, steady fella! Who's condemning anything? It's a statment of fact...could equally apply to anything that requires some degree of mechanical and practical experence.....get schooled or at least RTFM before you get started :)

    Who's the dirty BASTARD that turned my scope down over 4MOA last time I shot?

    Pretty easy to see how this can happen if you can go and buy a gun without a requirement to prove competence or to have any practical training prior to the purchase. But locking the thread seems a little extreme - it is one way to point out the issue, not just to the OP but to others who may...

    Who's the dirty BASTARD that turned my scope down over 4MOA last time I shot?

    I'll agree that people messing with your kit would be pretty annoying (if it happened), but KE's post pretty much nails it for me and he also had the good grace to come back and turn the rant into a positive! ;) Hope you've got the issue squared away now. Another tip: once you've zero'd...

    Rifle Scopes S&B : New 3-27x PMII -- On the site!

    vh20 - Marshall are a great example...I have an model 1987 50watt top built in the very early 70's, I've had it since 1980, gigged regularly when I was younger - apart from the odd set of new valves and a conversion to an IEC mains lead done at the factory it still runs like a train. Glass? I...

    Rifle Scopes S&B : New 3-27x PMII -- On the site!

    vh20 - no apology needed and no offence taken. I spend a considerable time dealing with warranty issues in my working life and have built up considerable resilience! ;) I am very aware of the emotive issues surrounding warranty and the all-too-prevalent opinion that, having bought a...

    Rifle Scopes S&B : New 3-27x PMII -- On the site!

    I didn't miss your point, just your take on warranties seems somewhat rose-tinted nad a little out of focus. You will find that some companies (the one I used to work for in electronics is but one example) differentiate between "consumer" and "professional" applications/products. Some...
