    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5x10 alternatives?

    Not meaning to hijack your thread but could you direct me to wherever you found information about durability concerns? I've been looking at the Vortex offering as a lower-priced alternative to the NF but if there's any serious concerns or a poor track record, I might reconsider.

    Leather sling for hunting rifle

    I'm normally not big on wooden stocks but I have a gorgeous CZ550 that will retain it's wooden stock. I need a dark leather sling for it, perhaps distressed leather. Any recommendations on a custom maker for something like this? I can browse Google all day long but I would prefer a personal...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 34 & 17

    I run Ghost Connectors in all of my Gen4 9mm Glocks, a 17, a 19, and a 34. What is the problem with them not fitting?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns EDC Auto Knife

    Benchmade Mini-reflex. I've had a spring break on me in an auto, however, and that has largely spoiled me on the carry of one. One-handed openers only, please.

    Rifle Scopes MOA or MIL

    Mils are mils, regardless. MOA may have inconsistencies in regard to what is represented (as has been mentioned above). Mils are your safer bet.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hi-Power work

    Don't get it blued and then send it to Don. Almost any major work that he does will require refinishing, anyway (though your list would probably be fine). Don can refinish it for you. If you're not sure of what to get done, I'd just talk to Don about what you would like as an end product and...

    I would be pissed if they interrupted me in the middle of Moons Over My Hammy.

    Another friend has cancer...

    Yes, the fact that surgery is an option is good. I've had renal cancer twice (in 2008 and in 2012) and had two partial nephrectomies and am (currently, as far as I know) cancer-free. Just had my last six-month scan a month ago. Sucks because it runs in my family and I'm convinced that I'll...

    What do you do for work?

    Mining engineer by degree. Manage a salt mine. Someone mentioned "Dirty Jobs" earlier in the thread. The mine that I manage was actually the subject of a whole episode of the show a few years back (before I was hired).

    Sidearms & Scatterguns hk p7 ???

    I wouldn't call a P7 a great back-up gun. CCW gun? Yeah, it's good. Why did they stop production? They were selling fine, apparently, but P7 sales made up, reportedly, far less than 1% of H&K's business and it was a business decision to let them go. Not sure that they are TOTALLY...

    Dress shoes designed for running - What brand?

    Re: Dress shoes designed for running - What brand? Perhaps you can check out some of the forums where executive protection people talk? I think that Lightfighter and GetOffTheX have such subforums.

    Light weight 223 buy or build?

    Re: Light weight 223 buy or build? Current synthetic-stocked Model 7 is probably the way to go.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Options for 9mm 1911's

    Re: Options for 9mm 1911's The Dan Wesson Guardian in 9mm is what I settled on. Had a bit of a rough start with it in regard to reliability but a trip back to the factory fixed it and I can't MAKE it malfunction at this point. I didn't trust it after the initial issues and put a few hundred...

    Concept 2 rowers are great!

    Re: Concept 2 rowers are great! I bought a barely-used top-end one for $900 (I think MSRP is $1263) and thought that I'd regret the expenditure. No monetary regrets here but I've learned that it's probably the single best cardio machine that I've ever used and it initially made me regret the...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada 4x32 hunting?

    Re: IOR Valdada 4x32 hunting? Very nice fixed 4x scope. Glass is great, as one would expect. Otherwise not much to say except that I've heard that some people have problems with mounting and eye relief.
