    SWAROVSKI Laser Guide

    Isn't this a dynamic technology in which you should expect to see marked improvement in less than 4 years? I would presume that if they are going to manufacture another model that it would be appreciably better for a similar price point. Not that I would expect them to bring out a new model...

    Rifle Scopes How much scope clearance is necessary above scope base?

    I mounted my scope last night and found even with the extra low TSP rings I have more space between the bell and barrel than I would prefer. However, if I position the scope where it fits me best for eye relief, the angled portion of the tube between the main tube body and bell is very close to...

    What's it worth? Savage 10FCP 5r

    Have you looked at what similar rifles are selling for both new (likely a little more than you should expect for your lightly used one) and on auction sites like gunbroker as a barometer?

    What's it worth? Savage 10FCP 5r

    Damn, too late again. And I would have paid more than that.

    Rear squeeze bag

    Anybody know what the material is inside all those little stress balls that companies have made with their name and logo to give away at various promo events. They seem like they would be perfect if the were about 5-6 times the size of the handheld stress balls.

    Maggie’s I'm having remorse - RESERVE MET on Gunbroker

    If you are wealthy, such that you can painlessly--financial wise--afford to be a collector, than you can try to negotiate with the winning bidder to buy it back from them at a premium, or try over the next year to find another. It may sting and be a costly lesson, but it would allow you to...

    Can't wait for their ad hominem response to those &@"!?/¥|~ who open carry.

    PTG bottom metal for Savage

    That is the essence of terrible customer service that is all too common these days. Businesses seem, like many young people today, too have a sense of entitlement to your business and money. It seems that more and more often companies will have a line of entry level staff who are indifferent...

    Gunsmithing Let's talk Credit Cards

    The latest fee I have started being charged for in my city (Santa Fe) due to recent municipal legislation is retailers--grocery stores, office supply stores, Walmart, etc. have either just started or are going to start in approximately the next 90 days charging for each paper bag they use to bag...

    Gunsmithing Let's talk Credit Cards

    I am not saying any business--whether it's Walmart, Best Buy, Cabelas, or a sole business owner--should eat any of the numerous costs associated with running a business. Whether it's the cost of a rent for the store, computers, tools, cash register, grocery bags, grocery carts, employee wages...

    Fountain Pens

    Virtually everyday I write with one of my fountain pens. May sound trite and silly, but older methods such as a fountain pen, straight razor, etc. give me a sense of simpler, better times. I still like to occasionally send a handwritten letter or note to my wife, family, and friends; it just...

    Any reviews of TiborasaurusRex's YouTube Vids?

    I can't comment on the accuracy of the info, by and large. But the guy has several qualities you would want in an instructor, including he seems completely humble and down to earth, not some egotistical, pompous ass that I feel the urge to smack and regret having paid money to as a...

    BOOK LIST from other site

    It appears to be a pretty comprehensive list. Can anyone make recommendations on which are a couple of the better books on learning and working on basic marksmanship principles. Books that include diagrams and illustrations of the written descriptions would also be helpful to see if what I am...

    Rifle Scopes vortex ebr1 reticle

    I would recommend reading the posts (some of the posts will explain it well, others less helpful) contained in the sticky titled ring height info, in this (scope forum) forum.

    Rifle Scopes vortex ebr1 reticle

    The answer from everything I have read on this site and others (not based on personally having done so), the answer is yes. Scope and base should certainly be adequate. Most of what I have read seems to support the caliber's capability for target shooting at that distance. I am sure others...

    Freedom to Criticize

    It would be nice if there was a single website, not controlled by or screened by retailers and manufacturers, that prospective customers/purchasers could search by manufacturer and product type and read all collected customer feedback as well as any response from the seller/manufacturer. Sort...
