    Rifle Scopes Leupold Illuminated TMR/MilDot available for VX3

    I just talked to Leupold and found out that, while it is not listed on the site or in the Custom Shop, you can get at least some VX3 scopes (I asked about the 3.5-10x40 and the 3.5-10x50) with an illuminated TMR or Mil Dot reticle. I will be ordering one this week through a hide vendor.

    M1a in Carbon Fiber

    Re: M1a in Carbon Fiber I talked to him a few months ago. He told me the one he was working on on his bench was about 8.75 lbs. But it still had a bunch of extra rails around so it might be possible to lighten it further. On the other hand, I forgot to ask what kind of a barrel it was, so it...

    Hunting & Fishing Bird Gun?

    Re: Bird Gun? O/U: I have never used CZ shotguns (although I have several of their rifles) but I heard very good things about them. They make a Woodcock Deluxe 20ga in 26" - that's what I thought I would buy if I ever decided to go for O/U. There is one on GunBroker now in what appears to...

    Hunting & Fishing Bird Gun?

    Re: Bird Gun? Hi Shotgunner1526- I certainly don't mean to discount your opinion. We all have our own preferences of course. My opinion is based, beyond my own experience, on the following info: - Hayes and Hayes, the #1 outfitter in Argentina, rents shotguns to American hunters who fly...

    Hunting & Fishing Bird Gun?

    Re: Bird Gun? Quick correction on the Beretta 391: the 390 is the most proven auto-loader. But the 391 has significant changes from the 390, increases the parts count by 9 (or is it 8?), makes it more of a pain to clean, and more likely to fail. Imho, we should not put the 390 and the 391...

    Lighter Hunting Rifle -- Who makes the best?

    Re: Lighter Hunting Rifle -- Who makes the best? I am with Greedy, TopPredator and BiggerSticker47. While custom rifles are fancy and cool, most factory rifles will shoot 1-1.5 moa with some load tuning, which is totally enough for any hunting under 300 yards, which means 99% of the time...

    Hunting & Fishing Bird Gun?

    Re: Bird Gun? Josh - I recently went through the same acquisition cycle. I totally agree with you that 20 ga is the way to go - both because of weight and recoil. If you don't care what action, the new Ithaca 20 gauge pump is a real jewel, with beautiful wood, and very highly rated by Randy...

    6x or 10x

    Re: 6x or 10x Hi Philip- I have owned the 10x for a long time. It is an excellent scope, which delivers very good value for the money as a fixed 10x scope. I bought it when I was not really able to judge what I truly needed, due to lack of knowledge and skill. I am still not very skilled...
