    Rifle Scopes 5 mils VS 10 mils per revolution

    To the OP this video from Vortex might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3y8Y7Nk7nw Having run both, the tactile feedback is quite different. In 10th mil overshoot or combined knob and reticle; a HIT for a 0.10 mil error in knobs or hold on a 12" target overlaps to about 850yrds with a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Converting Sig 226 in 40 s&w to 9mm

    For my 226, from 40SW to 9mm. I may not understand your question.

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Buy the 2.0 and I'll trade you for a nice, new Manners T2A.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Converting Sig 226 in 40 s&w to 9mm

    Yes you can. You need a conversion barrel not just a Sig 9mm barrel as stated above. The BAR STO will require fitting (yes, even the semi-fit), it is not a drop-in. You will also need patience for them as a company. If fitted correctly, in my experience it will run just as good as the...

    Statement from Kestrel. Battery corrosion. Must Read.

    Plus if you have the e-compass model, you don't have to wrestle with the battery separator that is in place to keep the battery loading from skewing the readings. I assume this will be a chipset swap to support BLE where Apple is compatible with the standard and not requiring MFi.

    Break IN

    The barrel is outsourced. The regime for break-in is largely a consumer demanded aspect.

    Fieldcraft Two Way Radio

    Depends on who you are securing it from. Side-band or squelch codes are not secure. To the post; Reinterating previous discussions on topic; the best license-free civilian two-way is discontinued 150MHz MURS band talkies. Kenwood TK's <$75 for a 2W with a solid design and spot-on receiver...

    The new CTD catalog shows how much they suck!!!

    CTD sucks. It's cheaper for them to pull prices then re-stucture the whole rag content and page agreement with the the bulk printers. Heck it is probably better then places I do more business with like Natchez for example. They just re-run print "specials" and pricing on long out of stock items.

    which 260 Rem length and contour?

    I went with a 24" Bartlein #6 HT. If I did it again it would be a lighter profile. #5 or even a #13 Sendero. No. 26"+ is not necessary but some are trying to get the maximum fps and performance out of the .260 for the long haul. Same length on up, the .260 will best the .308 (trajectory...

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    I don't under estimate 800yards. A 1mph cross wind is .75-1MOA in itself. .1 per 100 estimate. Not much talk on corrections. Holding same POI it does not take much wind change to open a additional 1MOA. Geez

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    A 178 AMAX at 2512fps should'nt be hitting transonic before or at 800yrds. Winter in the UP? Cold air decreases the speed of sound. You should still have about ~1200fps at 800yrds. Also, rotational stability is more required with forward velocity. Bullet velocity is also shed at a...

    Lightweight binos.

    I would not dismiss the Minox 8x33 BL's. Same weight as the OP's linked Pentax. <$500

    remmy 700p ltr opinions?

    You might save a little cash getting a synthetic varmint with the HS-P stock and shortening it. Something to consider. The LTR metal finish... if its still the same as 9-10 years ago is great. The Varmint palm matches the LTR where the 700P palm swell (and 5R) I find excessive for off-hand...

    RCBS Chargemaster or other electronic powder scales/dispensers

    I never read anything that suggested there was a better, simular, unit out there like the Lyman. It's something you have to keep a eye on. I pull the cup, dump it unto a good beam scale and then verify after starting the next cycle. It utilizes the down time while the screw is running. Since...

    Night Vision Recommend me a good NV scope.

    Interesting, since the image is being presented right at the objective, do you know if the primary optic's parallax/focus range is a issue? Same relative light sensitivity vs the 550? I have a N550, it's not bad for the price point. I see on the Pulsar website there is now just a N750. I...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 vs Vortex PST 6-24x50 FFP

    The Razor is a better match-up (including $) and would be personally preferred.

    GAP10 ShowEm Off Pics

    KLin, I appreciate the update and comms. A open question I had is if earlier pending work orders reserved the approved additional magazine quantity for shipment upon completion.
