    Rifle Scopes looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed.

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. BCP, not to call you out here, but are you *certain* it was an FFP 4.5-14X? Those were just released by Leupold very recently - 2009. If you check out the 08 calendar, they weren't around yet...

    Another WTF for LEO's to read

    Re: Another WTF for LEO's to read Man, reading the article, either that kid was one big ass 14 year old, or those officers need some serious time at the gym and refining of their SOPs! "so the deputy pulled out his stun gun. The boy grabbed the stun gun," "Minor then drew his firearm and...

    Rifle Scopes looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed.

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. Keep in mind too that USO's stellar rep for durability isn't so unanimous - some on here, and Zak Smith in particular - don't use them, as they've seen defect rates of 25% or higher. When all is said and done, I'd recommend shelling out the...

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. BCP, have you used a new FFP variable? What was the 8.5-25?

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. Ach, ze Germans! On another note, I do wish swaro would make more tactical scopes - they could be a serious contender.

    Advanced Marksmanship Marksmanship in a Minute, Service Rifle Shooting

    Re: Marksmanship in a Minute, Service Rifle Shooting I think Sterling is emphasizing something oft overlooked, that shooter error (flinches, angular offsets, pulling, etc.) is much more to blame than inherent rifle inaccuracy in most cases. Assuming the sights are mechanically correct for...

    Rifle Scopes looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed.

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. FYI, as someone who tries to handle a lot of glass to make my own informed opinions, I think it's funny you brought up Swaro, since they are the *only* glass I've seen to date that trumps the Leupolds as far as I'm concerned. My "handle" list...

    Re: Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe? Are Tubb2ks not considered space guns?

    Re: Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe? I dunno- I thought perhaps you were a space gun and precision only shooter. Thanks.

    Re: Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe? 9H, out of curiosity, which trigger do you prefer in your AR, assuming you shoot one?

    Advanced Marksmanship Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe?

    Re: Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe? On a related note, has Anschutz ever made (or hinted at making) AR triggers? (Besides on their AiR15 trainer rifle)

    Advanced Marksmanship Marksmanship in a Minute, Service Rifle Shooting

    Re: Marksmanship in a Minute, Service Rifle Shooting As someone who's passing through the stages of highpower, I can tell you that the #1 thing I've found to be instrumental to shot calling is having spot on zeroes for your load. Make absolutely positive your zeroes are within 0.5 MOA of...

    Pull weight on standard issue (M24, M40) rifles?

    I know this must vary a great deal, but I was wondering for those who've carried them, what are trigger weights generally set at for the standard issue precision rifles? Is 3-5lbs. a fairly accurate range? I'm looking carefully at my 700P with upgrades in mind, and wanted to get a base...

    Texutrized trigger shoe - why not?

    Posted something over in Advanced Marksmanship, realized I may get more feedback in the more rifle-focused channel: "While doing some dryfire exercises recently, I got to thinking that since some trigger shoes benefit from ridges for added grip, could a further enhancement be to really...

    Advanced Marksmanship Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe?

    Re: Crazy idea.. a parkerized trigger shoe? Yeah, after posting I realized park'ing would probably not produce what I was after, for that reason. Competition aside, I meant it more for general precision rifles. Wonder why you don't see it more often, given how much texturizing is done to...
