    Rifle Scopes LE Optics??

    We have a mix of FFP and SFP. I find the SFP more useful. I don't know where anyone else works, but most of our armed/barricades are in city limits. Even in our rural areas, if you can't get within 300 yards, something it wrong. There are cedar trees everywhere. I can go outside my house...

    Range Report Terminal ballistics of the Hornady ELD-M .308 bullet info? Preferably 10% ballistics gel.

    Sorry for my really late response, but I spent a lot of time at the range of late, and haven't been internetting much. I called Black Hills. They were able to give me data sheets and gel shot pics for both their old AMAX and the new round. They were very helpful - but all they had was bare...

    Range Report Terminal ballistics of the Hornady ELD-M .308 bullet info? Preferably 10% ballistics gel.

    Our barrier round is the Fed 168gr bonded tip (I think it's called the T2). We run an open air round and a barrier round. I know some have gone to just shooting the bonded tip for everything in our state, but they apparently have more money than we do and/or not as concerned with...

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of a used Nightforce NXS

    If you buy a used NF, I will personally hunt you down, murder your cat, and make you eat Brussel sprouts for a month while listening to Nickelback music. There - that's the best I can to do talk you out of it.

    Sig Sauer 2400 GO!!!

    It is strange that the range finder that costs twice as much works better.

    Range Report Terminal ballistics of the Hornady ELD-M .308 bullet info? Preferably 10% ballistics gel.

    Our duty ammo is the Black Hills 168gr AMAX, which black hills is replacing the projectile on, not us. If Hornady is still offering the AMAX, I'll look, but since it's a different loading, we're looking at - at minimum - a re-zero with all of our rifles and possibly a change in our data out to...

    Range Report Terminal ballistics of the Hornady ELD-M .308 bullet info? Preferably 10% ballistics gel.

    Well, since Buddha hates me or whatever if looks like our .308 duty ammo (168gr AMAX) is now being replaced with the 168 gr ELD-M bullet from Hornady. I get that the AMAX was made to be a match bullet (it's in the name) but it also appeared to perform very well in ballistic gel. Now that the...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    This rifle and the X-Ray chassis are very tempting.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Sig.

    I was issued a P220 a long time ago, and carried it for years. Below was my list of bitches. -The finish is made of compressed rust I believe. -They're way overpriced -The mags split at the back (original sig - we switched to an aftermarket that were better) -DA/SA trigger wasn't great in...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    Well, I'm not a scope guru by any means - but these new scopes are a big step up from the old Luppy 3.5-10 mil dot scopes we were using before. I'm glad we went with the 2.5-10 instead of the 3.5-15. Much smaller, better illumination options, much lighter. Really like the reticle. Can't...

    Night Vision Just starting to run NV

    This is stuff you personally own? Heck, yeah it's a good setup. This just for killing coyotes or what? Wish I had the money to buy cool stuff like that.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    We're trying out two (mil turrets, Mil-R reticles). Should be here Monday. If we like them, they are going to replace our old Leupolds on our PD sniper rifles. These look really promising for what we'd use them for. I like the SFP, matching turrets, zero stop, better illumination, and wider...

    Lets see your tactical plate carrier

    I have a Banshee (above) for patrol - just throw over the regular uniform. I've cut it down to just the two plates, one M4 mag, and a TQ. I also have a BFG LMAC for more swatly type stuff. Frankly, I like the Banshee better. I use the BFG ten speed pouches on both, and travel as light as...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I forgot to post this, but I sent on in last year on 6-1-13, and got it back 3-27-14. My first can, and I'm already thinking about another. I hate waiting.

    Bright flashlight that takes AA? Is it out there?

    What do you consider bright enough lumens-wise? If you're looking for a AA light, good luck finding a mount system for weapon mounting. As far as a normal every-day carry light, I use one of these: Streamlight ProTac 2AA LED Flashlight

    New 9mm ammo

    Super slow mo + batman narration + gel blocks + big gimmicky words + super awesome buzzsaw-looking blade thingies = best ammo ever. Doesn't matter if it works on people. Batman said it works using really big words. Where do I buy it?

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes

    Do you have a problem with people who don't put it on the same priority level as you do? Do I need to care about all the same stuff you do and hold your opinion? If not, I agree with him. I'd rather not see it rehashed in yet another thread.

    Kaboom at Manatee today!

    I shoot pretty often. I take the normal precautions, but I forget on occasion just how dangerous these things sitting under my cheekbone can be. This sort of thing is a great reminder what can happen with just a momentary lapse in attention. Thanks for posting it.

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    How these work with a stock pouch? I carry a few doo-dads in there that are pretty important if I ditch everything and just take the rifle. I'm interested in this thing as a lighter chassis compared to my McRees.
