    Rifle Scopes Gimmick or possibly useful?

    Gents, Saw this new rear scope cover (in a air rifle magazine of all places) and wondered what you guys think. It is designed to ensure you are looking down the dead centre of the scope and so eliminate parallax. If you eye is centered correctly when looking through the scope, the four...

    Army Awards M24 300 Win Mag Upgrade Contract

    Re: Army Awards M24 300 Win Mag Upgrade Contract Have to say the new stock looks a bit of an abortion. If this is an interim solution, I wonder why they didn't retain the existing stocks and simply rebarrel and refurb the receivers?? They could have even bought optics, and maybe even...

    Stock For CZ427 Varmint?

    I am waiting to pick up a CZ 427 Varmint to use as a trainer, and was if anybody made a synthetic tactical style stock? I know McMilan and Manners do them, but what about the likes of Bell and Carlson or similar? Boyds was another idea, but I'd prefer a synthetic stock not wood...

    Re: Hawke Eclipse 30 Side Focus Series Scopes? I looked at the Tactical 30 line, but the turrets are in MOA! On the cheaper Eclipse 30 Tactical scope, you get a more conventional Mil dot reticule, Mil adjustments, but no turrets! It really beggers belief that they can't quite get...

    I'm looking for a new scope for a .22LR....At present, its used mainly for bunny busting between 30m and 100m, due to accuracy limitations of the rifle (very old CZ)but I hope to get a new more accurate .22LR sometime in the future. The Hawke scope mentioned sems to tick all the boxes I want...
