    WTB my father an R700

    Re: WTB my father an R700 I applaud you desire to "upgrade Dad" but in my own experience to doing the same I found that "I" was the one that got frustrated. Hunting rifles are a very personal thing (especially to seasoned citizens) with lots of history and memories tied to them. That is not...

    Rifle Scopes Scope bright and clear, then slowly becomes dark??

    How much is to much......

    Re: How much is to much...... Maybe it's just me but I always figured I needed enough to stop the threat and break contact. If I'm getting into a fire fight I'm bringing all my guns and calling all my friends and telling them to bring all THEIR guns. I could be wrong tho..... Cheers, Doc
