    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    Where is the drool icon......Thats a nice piece of glass sir. The reason you'll see Jap glass on the sidelines in because the auto focus on most cameras wont work with aftermarket Zeiss, so they cant manually focus fast enough for sports. and Zeiss mainly does primes lenses, those guys need...

    Talk me out of a SASS

    Absolutely, everyone has their own path to fun in this sport. I got fed up with tinkering after years of land speed motorcycle racing and blowing up motor after motor. It ended up being more about the journey than the destination. Im all about the destination now.

    Talk me out of a SASS

    Im sure I could have figured out eventually why the gun was a jamming piece of inaccurate crap...eventually. My range time is too important to me to waste trying to fix guns. When I pay $2500 for a rifle, I want it to actually function. I lost faith in it. To top it off, DPMS pattern magazines...

    Talk me out of a SASS

    I had an Armalite SASS and it was an inaccurate jamomatic. I wish I still had the add from when I sold it on KSL classifieds in Salt Lake City. I basically gave it away.....its one of the only rifles I ever lost any real money on. The add basically read "I will pay someone to come haul this...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    Actually it was a cool story....relevant to the topic as well. I will say that in my experience with photography, Zeiss lenses were optically superior to the Japanese stuff in many ways but it usually had to be determined by a machine rather than the human eye. Of course different lenses...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    I wasn't making a comparison from a model perspective...simply from a marketing perspective and that the business world is absolutely crammed to the gills with examples of people over paying for things, product or service regardless. High end audio is an example. I can show you $100,000 dollar...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    Of course, I wasn't comparing a Bushnell to a SB. I know the SB is a better scope all around. I was simply saying that you don't need to spend $4000 to get a great performing piece of glass. Now when you compare better quality companies like Vortex and Nightforce, it's obvious that the gap...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    You apparently don't understand how business works. You make it sound as if companies have some form of 3rd party controlling their pricing to ensure they are properly priced and not overpriced. You also make it sound as if there aren't suckers out there that pay for a brand name. That's...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    That's a wild conclusion. I was a cop for 13 years....many of which were stuck in a patrol car. Police departments don't make decisions based on durability. They make decisions based on price and vehicles that have the ability to do the job, the japs don't build vehicles that are big enough for...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    I know...Ive owned S&B, Vortex, Nightforce, USO, Premier, Bushnell to name a few and I have shot through just about everything else. Sure, the S&B was nice.....but I thought my Premiers glass was better. I thought my USO and Premier were both built better, more rugged. My Vortex was...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    Gotta tell you Frank, that is about the most logical and reasonable reply regarding the subject of optics choice for shooters I have ever read. I have owned and or used optics from just about every manufacturer out there....except Steiner. The differences in quality and features is getting so...

    Where is my larue!

    Mark is lucky that has brand name has such a following. Most companies do not survive this kinda mess. The decision to start making his own barrels was a smart one, but I dont believe the way he did it made any sense. I like Larue products, even if I dont like the mans attitude. That being...

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor Gen II Rifle Scopes (Images, Spec, Etc)

    Can anyone who has looked through one tell me if they have fixed the eye relief issues of the earlier model? I had one and while I loved the optical clarity, I really struggled with finding the right eye relief when run n gunning. Off of barricades and shit it was really tough to get the eye...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - Professional Marksman

    Absolutely, I have my eye on the new Gen II Vortex 4.5 x 27 and if their glass is ANYTHING like their Gen II 1x6, its gonna be a winner for roughly half the price of this Theta Thingy. Dont get me wrong, I had a Premier and loved it.....didnt so much love the company, but the scope rocked. I...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - Professional Marksman

    was thinking same thing. there are other scopes that are 90 percent the scope but half the price. exotic offerings have gone full retard price wise.

    Desert Tech... It's here!

    My 6.5 CM fed 140 Hybrids no problem. There is no doubt a CM is going to push the same bullet out of the same length barrel faster than a Grendel with a more acceptable pressure curve for semi autos. Again, the big issue being factory ammo that is cheap, accurate and readily available. I...
