    Rifle Scopes Steiner question

    I don't know the answer for sure but I would guess not. More and more European optics companies have opened up a US service center. It would appear Steiner is the same. My guess. TTR P.S. I still think Steiner is lowballing their prices to penetrate the US market.

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20 or 5-25 ? or something else maybe

    Lowlight, Don't want to get too far out into the weeds but you bringing up the Kahles brand reminds me of a theory I had at 2012 SHOT. It would seem that the American scope consumer has really decided that spending money on quality glass is the norm. Especially in the precision market. I was...

    Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads

    I have had the stock inlet to accept match grade barrels 22mm on my R8 Professional. My Blaser rep did it and it looks like it was done with skill. I have the kick-stop also. I plan on configuring the R8 to be more of a "precision" setup. I'm getting parts as I type this. Good luck. Let's keep...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20 or 5-25 ? or something else maybe

    I am an avid S&B Fan. I run a PM-II on my main rifle. I just picked up two Steiner 5-25 optics at smoking good prices. One in GEN 2 and the second in MSR(which is a new reticle for me). I am still playing with the Steiner but they seem quite nice. The glass is just as good as my S&Bs. And...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner question

    I am certainly not an optics expert. I have run S&B for a number of years. I recently had a chance to pickup a Steiner 5-25 Mil-Dot. So far, I am thoroughly impressed. So much so, I had a chance on 5-25 Steiner MSR version and snatched it up as well. I'm not sure what the cool kids think of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 22 vs Springfield XDM opinions

    Late to the party but I figured I would drop in a data-point. The XD's (At least they used to) have a slide that locks depending on the application of the grip-safety. Obviously this is department specific, but doing one-handed / weak-handed malfunction clearance drills can be a challenge in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking For A Carry Revolver

    Generally the J-frame revolvers are the hardest to shoot accurately. Meaning distances. For me, I would always go hammerless just to give the user more carry options. What is a main reason for carrying a J-frame to begin with. As for recoil, each user is different. I personally don't choose to...

    Swat snipers-average distance to target

    I think the "averages" even applied to LE marksmen skill-set are a bit open to interpretation. Comparing an agency that is truly urban to an agency that is truly rural is like comparing apples and Model T Fords. That's a wide range of environments. And what agency truly is "either"? None. With...

    ? for the model 70 fans.

    Have to admit, I've never heard that before either. But I wouldn't know one way or the other. I will offer to the OP that FN's SPR A3g, which is their approved FBI bolt rifle, is CRF Model 70. They guarantee 1/2 MOA or better for 10,000 rounds. Mine has a test target of .315. CRF. In...

    has anybody run an FS 2000 hard

    I can only offer 2 second hand observations. I know of an Army officer who had one as a personal weapon. He had a jam issue that shut him down for a while, 2. I believe Gabe Suarez is a big fan. Might find more info from his guys. TTR

    I know my Next Rifle

    I agree. I Also saw their setup at NRA. It's a neat idea, but one has to wonder what 10 years down the road will bring? There might come a day when bino's WITHOUT LRF are passé. Who knows what they will cram into a scope by then? As for what it promises, I'm not a buyer yet. Doesn't appeal. TTR

    Lightweight accurate long range rifle?

    I was just in the forsale section. I saw this rifle and liked it so much, I e-mailed the ad to a friend of mine. I don't know this seller. I don't have any interest in this rifle other than maybe buying it. But I just saw this lighter-weight rifle listed here on the hide. While it's not all...

    Is my crown ok?

    I will say one pic does get my attention. Perhaps it's just flash. But I think your crown might need to be cleaned up. If nothing else, to eliminate the variable. As stated, check other stuff first. If rifle shoots well (for you or anyone else), I say leave it. If not, have it re-crowned...
