    Hearing protection, Impact sport / Pro Ears Gold

    Re: Hearing protection, Impact sport / Pro Ears Gold I have two sets of Peltors Tac6 that I have been using for 8 years and never had a problem with either. They use two AAA in one ear. Mine get used three days a week and continue to work great. The only thing I dislike is how hot my ears...

    looking for opinions on shooting mats and cases

    Re: looking for opinions on shooting mats and cases Thanks for the input: I pulled the trigger today and went for a Tac Ops Generation 5 drag bag which has a shooting mat within it. I did a short case and plan to carry the suppressor in the inside pocket rather than leave it attached when...

    looking for opinions on shooting mats and cases

    I have been reading posts and searching the net for months regarding shooting mats and soft cases and drag bags, backpacks and LBE gear. How do the shooting mats of Eagle, Tab Pollack, London Bridge compare? What is the best value and of good quality. I only want to buy this once. How are...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and bender???

    Re: Schmidt and bender??? I have a S&B 5x25x56 with the Gen II XR reticle with CCW turrets. I love the reticle and wish it were available on their other scopes. The CCW is more popular in europe. The turrets are available in either Mil's 1/4 clicks or in MOA 1/4 clicks. The Gen II XR...

    Suppressors SHARK Suppressors

    Re: SHARK Suppressors My 308 Shark came in to my FFL dealer last week. It took 6 weeks to transfer it from David to my local guy. Now I anticipate a wait of 4 to 6 months while the BATF processes the paperwork. The quality of workmanship of the can is great. I sent David my AW while I was...

    considering reloading 308

    Re: considering reloading 308 I used to use an RCBS Rock Chucker and RCBS dispenser and always finish each powder drop with a trickle dispenser. I used to partially size my brass after firing but I never got into case trimming and tumbling. Nor did I ever use a chronograph when developing...

    considering reloading 308

    I now shoot only 308 using factory Black Hills and Fiocchi and am considering reloading to duplicate my Black HIlls 175 gr BTHP Match loads. I used to use an RCBS for years for all my rifle and pistol but no longer have the equipment. I do not want to spend hours reloading like before and am...

    Watch Suggestion

    Re: Watch Suggestion If you don't need all the elecronic doo dads in your watch then I recommend a Rolex. I have used a Sea Dweller for over thirty years and all I have ever had to do is replace the crystal as it is an old type crystal. The new Rolex's crystal are indestructible. For...

    What is the shelf life of antiboitics?

    Re: What is the shelf life of antiboitics? I apologize for the typos. I was not wearing my glasses and I am not a typist and it was late and I was tired. The antibiotics are overlapping but those will cover most everything you will encounter. Some are stronger than others and you could...

    What is the shelf life of antiboitics?

    Re: What is the shelf life of antiboitics? I prescribe rx's every day all day long. I can tell you what I travel with all the time. First if it is in the wilderness, I have a field surgical kit which I have carried since 5th SFGA days in the early 70's. It has a small assortment of...

    Fieldcraft What distance is your zero?

    Re: What distance is your zero? I use a 200 yd zero for my 308. I use a 20 moa mount for my S&B. I then have the ability to either use the mil reticle Gen II XR for hold over out to 1000 yds or can use the turret out to 1000 yds for holding on the target with the center crosshairs. With this...

    Rifle Scopes mil vs moa which is more accurate

    Re: mil vs moa which is more accurate I shoot with S&B scopes that have Mil reticles and MOA turrets. After a while it becomes second nature doing the math if you want to but having everything in MIls is mentally easier. Forget about ranging with a Mil Dot reticle. You may be close but at...

    Suppressors Everyday Carry Blade

    Suppressors Anyone have a Ruger LCP?

    Re: Anyone have a Ruger LCP? I bought an LCP without shooting one thinking it would be like my walther ppk but lighter. Not so. The trigger on the lcp is crap. It is like a double action pull for every shot, that being an 8 pound trigger pull. The weight savings was not worth the trade...

    Shooting Glasses

    Re: Shooting Glasses Check out Decot. They are huge in the shotgun clay target crowd and I have found they work excellent with rifle shooting also. You can order them with lenses of any color and add your prescription if needed as well as a bifocal if needed. The lenses are changable in...
