    Hunting & Fishing First deer w/ a lever gun?

    Friend of mine and I discussing lever guns a while back. I luv 'em, always have. I killed my first buck at 9 w/ an old borrowed (but good) Win 30-30. One shot, 110 paces by my dad, DRT :) . Next year dad bought me my own brand new Marlin, I thought it was a cannon, still have it at 51 and...

    Remington 700 build: I don't know what I'm doing.

    Never had any trouble with stock screws if properly torqued and have never used LT on them. Might want to check them after a session or two, especally with a new install. I would definately shoot it a bit first too before I did any bedding job, if thats a Medalist stock with the aluminum...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex lens cover?

    Carrying mine in my truck on the ranch in rural OK without any cover renders it unusable from the dust and grime in a very short time unless first cleaned and I certainly don't consider that "using the shit out of it". Like I've already said several times, I consider it a very good site and I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex lens cover?

    So, the lenses on your sight dont need to be protected? Do you not ever take it out? I'd rather them knock $5 off the price of the sight and just not include the cover. I dont like bikini covers either and of course there are better options but 90% of the BC's do what they're intended to do...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex lens cover?

    Why manufacture quality without manufacturing a way to mantain it? Lens covers are not an option, they should be working and standard equip. okie

    Rifle Scopes Vortex lens cover?

    Hi all, just a question. About 6 or 8 mo ago I wanted a cheap but reliable (yeah, I know) red dot sight for my little Armalite truck gun and I chose the Vortex SPARC. It came with the adj. mount, seems well made, holds zero, adj. are consistant and the dot is very visable in all cnditions...

    Magpul PRS - WTF?

    Brother, I just cant imagine you getting proper check weld with a scope that high (even on an AR).....and I noticed you have your check piece raised to boot. Another thing I dont care for on that is how much of the front of the entire set up is unsupported. It looks like there is only about 2"...

    Any Swiss K-31 fans?

    So let me get this straight.....you should never scope a rifle because it is an accurate one? Personally, I've never found a reason to scope a rifle that's NOT accurate. Okie

    Is the Armalite Super SASS worth $1K more than the DPMS SASS?

    I bet you'll like the DPMS, seems like most that own them do. To me. Armalite is the best quality AR that I can afford so thats what I own and thier all great rifles. I have an AR10A2 with ss med. weight 20" match barrel, NM sights and RR single stage match trigger. It makes me think...

    Rifle Scopes Ring size question after sticky

    No rail height is 0, that would mean it does not exist. Measure the thickness of the front of your rail and add it to the equation. okie

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    I've got several Leupy's (LRT Mk 4 the best). Used them in extreme temps in both directions and in the wet AND...I twist the turrets on the Mk4 like crazy...no problems. Yes, my crippled ass has also slamed them into hard packed dirt elevation turret first...no loss of zero. My Mk 4 has a...

    Whats the big deal with TacOps rifle?

    I'll admit, I haven't made my point very well. I'll try one more time and then I'm done, think what you will. I know I don't have to buy one, thank God. I'm not a pro, so I don't have to spend this kind of money but I'd have no problem doing it if need be. My point was and is...these sites...

    Whats the big deal with TacOps rifle?

    Well Mike, not sure what you ment but I certainly don't know you and have never even seen one of your builds but I'm sure they're top notch and I didn't mean anything personal in my post. I'm actually tickled that you're making such great builds with factory receivers.....believe it or not...

    Whats the big deal with TacOps rifle?

    Ha! I've got way behind I guess, I still thought George was THE man on this site to build rifles. For years if you didn't deal with GAP, you were an idiot here. Guess I'll just continue to shoot ragged holes w my few factory guns that will do it. Can't wait to see who'll be the next sheriff...
