    Aero precision shipping times

    Y'all got a order confirmation? 😂 They just took my money and never sent me a confirmation for a overrun barrel. I'll give it some time, it's only been 2 weeks.

    Why do you like rimfire?

    It's accessible. Sure it's bit of a gateway drug, I started with a T1x with a Diamondback Tactical, now I have a RimX with a Mk4HD. But I've taken one nephew, and several friends, to rimfire matches. I let them use my guns and ammo, and they can experience real rifle competition. None would have...

    Custom Action - tikka footprint

    The Ultimatum Defacto was a Tikka footprint. That was a bit of a disaster, not the action just the company/owners at the time. I have one in 223, I enjoy the rifle, but it doesn't do anything better than any other action, or better than a Tikka for that matter.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    I'm not a big fan of Mossberg's. They are simply not going to last with large volumes of shooting or they would cost a lot more. That being said, if that fits your budget, and fits you relatively well, have fun and put some shells through it. If you get really serious about the sport you will...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    Awesome! It's a great sport and one I have enjoyed for over twenty years. If a Rizzini ends up being what catches your eye and fits you, buy with confidence. They make a solid gun and make a lot of actions for other Italian gun makers. TGS outdoors is another fantastic shotgun YouTube channel...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    Please don't think you need to buy a crazy expensive gun. For 2k you can get an awesome Browning or Beretta and enjoy the heck out of it! The Rizzini BR110 Sporter is another great option, probably a hair more than 2k new, probably around that price used. I have one in 410 that is a ton of fun...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    Yep, nothing wrong with a good used O/U. In fact I bought my K-80 used from DuPONT/Kriegoff. Saved me quite a bit of money and it'll far outlast me. When looking at used guns pay attention to the stiffness of the action and the top lever. If the action still has some stiffness and the top lever...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    For that price point I think one of the Browning CX models are a very good value. I also highly recommend you get some type of target model with an adjustable comb. It's tempting to buy a field model but the features that come with a sporting model is worth the added cost. I've been very lucky...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    After reading CK1.0's experience I decided to send my optic in and give Leupold a chance to fix the turret. I got it back today, just shy of two weeks, they did fix the elevation turret, lines up perfectly now. They did not fix the windage turret. Overall I'd say I'm satisfied and I'm glad...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    Yep, like you this is my first Leupold. I have quite a few XTRs, a couple Razors, and one Arken. Everytime I looked at Leupold, they were always lacking compared to similar optics. I get that you have to make some kind of concession for almost any optic in this price point. If it has everything...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    Quick update on my optic for those interested. I contacted Leupold, automated contact form. The next day (8/28) I was contacted and the representative asked for a photo. I sent the same photo I posted here. I didn't hear back for a couple days, on 8/3, I emailed asking if there was an update...

    Not what I would like to do to a new optic but I won't rule it out!

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    I'll keep that in mind, certainly an option. Hopefully Leupold takes care of it.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    Yeah, so far I'm not very impressed. Hopefully the glass makes up for it but I gotta say, that's very disappointing for a $1500 optic. It's replacing an Arken, and the Arken is better in every way when it comes to the turret feel and marking. Which should be a ridiculous statement but it's true...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    I apologize if this has been asked, I scanned the thread and didn't see it being addressed. Just got a MK4HD, is it a feature or a defect that the indicator on the dial lines up with left side of the line on the scope body. Curious what others look like. If it's supposed to be like that I'll...

    6.5 Creedmoor vs 6.5 PRC

    For sure, neither is he really, we'll shoot 500rds of 12ga at a weekend tournament no problem. The fact of the matter is, it adds up, especially target shooting. Shooting steel you want to able to spot impacts and misses. That is very difficult the more recoil you add. From what you've said, for...
