Why not ask Zeiss and Kahles?
Re: Why not ask Zeiss and Kahles? I have two vintage Zeiss ZF39...a zielvier and a zielsechs. Both in fully functioning and mint condition and in regular use. Neither cost me more than $600. I really don't understand guys who would pay $500 for a half-arsed repro (or $750 with a repro...- BasraBoy

Hi-lux m40 scope
Re: Hi-lux m40 scope +1 on those comments urging caution on detail, optical and manufacturing quality. I have yet to see anyone say that any of the recent rash of vintage scope repros really nail it. Given that most of the copied designs are 40+ years old...or nearly double that in the case...- BasraBoy

New bag for the AIAW 338Lapua
Re: New bag for the AIAW 338Lapua Nice job! The interior is very similar to the UK issue Arktis bag I had when I first got my AW. That also had two full length rows of mounting points. A great feature for a rifle bag.... It was cheap too....only around $150 at the time- BasraBoy

1903 windage troubleshooting
Re: 1903 windage troubleshooting Maybe check to see if it is a worn worm gear? Was a problem on my 1903 when I first got it and is apparently pretty common. Had to hold the rear sight with my thumb. If it is this, it is an easy fix and the parts are not hard to come by.- BasraBoy

new AW
Re: new AW Bacarrat, thanks. I missed that the OP was not complaining about the ring diameter...but the clearance with the base. Yes, that is an issue on the bigger mag SuB scopes...but they weren't around when the smaller MOA mounts were designed. As you point out...a simple bit of...- BasraBoy

AR15 Gas Port Question
Re: AR15 Gas Port Question Noveske design,make and mark Switchblock for specific barrel and gas tube lengths.
