    Sidearms & Scatterguns New Rock Island 1911/TACT 2011 Rail Gun

    Re: New Rock Island 1911/TACT 2011 Rail Gun This one also has the Meprolite night sights installed. You can get the reail gun with standard Novack style sights. The gun was worth every penny and I try to support the local shops and not mail order, even if it costs me a little more. Being...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New Rock Island 1911/TACT 2011 Rail Gun

    Gents, Just a quick report, after seeing a RIA rail gun on another 1911 forum I started hunting one down. SARCO's new store in PA had one in stock (they have one of everything RIA has, great selection....) and after looking it over I had to take it home. Like my RIA GI model its a solid...

    Re: How many on Hide use their precision rifle for... I do most of my hunting with a bow, when I decide to do some killing as the season comes to a close I take a rifle out. I have killed 90% of my rifle deer in the last 7 years with either a .223 or .22-250 and good bullets, with lung shots...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Spon On Ballistic Data

    Re: Nikon Spon On Ballistic Data Slow, Thanks for the feedback, your experience sounds pretty much like mine. I havent really been able to check wind as my Kestrel hasnt shown anything over 6 mph when I have gone shooting. I will have to try to get out on a windy day and check it. BA

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Spon On Ballistic Data

    Gents, I am curious as to if any of you have used and what results you have had from Nikon's Spot On program. I have 2 Nikons, a 4.5-14X40mm mil-dot and a 6-18X40mm BDC and my range testing with a 100yd zero out to 350 yds has shown the numbers to be accurate. I hope to do some long range...

    .223 match ammo

    Re: .223 match ammo I have had great results with the BH 68gr heavy match (a hornady bullet I believe). That said, try anything loaded with Sierra Matchkings, something should shoot well.

    Rifle Scopes Barska Sniper Scope questions

    Re: Barska Sniper Scope questions I cant cure your redneck(ism)but in response to your comments: - I like charmin as well. - Cigars have something to do with every situation, if you dont see it, its on you. - I dont know what redneck would swap 2 guns for good optics but I sure as hell...

    Rifle Scopes Barska Sniper Scope questions

    Re: Barska Sniper Scope questions No offense Jon, but you are from Virginia...... Actually I was refering the rednecks that think the stuff in the "Sportsmans Guide" catalog is the top of the line. I mean hell, where else can you get a "sniper scope", a pistol bayonett and plastic bubba...

    Rifle Scopes Barska Sniper Scope questions

    Re: Barska Sniper Scope questions Seiously though, my impression of Barska, Tasco, BSA, etc are that these are products that are made to look like quality LR optics and appeal to rednecks and weekend warriors who dont know or have any interest in knowing what exit pupil, differences in lens...

    Mini 14 Scope Mounts

    Re: Mini 14 Scope Mounts That occured to me but it wont address the gross windage problem unless I thin one side of the blade to try to move POI. I like the Mini's robust design, dont want a paper thin front sight prone to bending. I still think an optic or more adjustable rear sight will be...

    Mini 14 Scope Mounts

    Re: Mini 14 Scope Mounts Thanks for the ideas guys, the whole issue that started me thinking about this is as follows: -Was at the range benching the rifle for sight in, I noticed that the rear sight adjustments are pretty coarse, that is when I moved it from one position to the next I...

    Mini 14 Scope Mounts

    Re: Mini 14 Scope Mounts Thanks for the info guys. I am aware the Mini is not a sniper rifle, I have some tuned bolt guns for that. My GB mini is a intermediate range utility/defense rifle and thats it. It does not have integral reciever mounts. My thinking is to possibly add a low power...

    Mini 14 Scope Mounts

    Gentelmen, I am considering putting an optic on my Mini-14GB and am interested in your thoughts on what system is best. I am looking at the B-Square and Weaver mounts currently. I am most concerned about durability and quality, I dont want something that becomes a part time job to mount...

    Rifle Scopes glass and mount for first .22

    Re: glass and mount for first .22 Having owned and used the VX-II and the Weaver Grandslam, I am suprised the Nikon BuckMaster is regarded as equal or leser(to the Weaver). I am using the Buckmaster 4.5-14X40 Milldot reticle on my.223 A-Bolt and have found it to be excellent glass with good...

    The Savage 110 BA rifle report

    Re: The Savage 110 BA rifle report Nice report, in my limited experience with Savage they seem to have up'ed thier game in recent years. I picked up an Edge as a "rainy day" gun (literally) when I did not want to take the Browning A-Bolt out. Following a religious 100 round barrel break-in...

    Re: is my cheap scope screwing me? If you are looking for an affordable scope I cant say enough about the Redfield scopes. Made in Oregon, very good glass, built tough, the best value for the dollar I have seen to date for the price of optics made in china. Take a look at them.
