    Boot selection

    Re: Boot selection My Belleville boots have seen six years of oilfield use, and they're still going strong. I got the Gore-Tex lined model, and have worn them in everything from 100+ degrees to -30. They're very comfortable, durable, and made in the USA. I highly recommend them.

    Suppressors First suppressor: TBAC, SAS or ACC???????

    Re: 30BA I picked up a 30P last spring. Great can, light and accurate. Ray took time from what he was doing to show me how everything stacks together inside the finished unit, while Shane and AJ Goddard fixed a thread problem on my barrel. The people at TBAC and Bighorn Arms are super to...

    Proper length of pull? AICS?

    Re: Proper length of pull? AICS? Depends on your proportions (height, weight, build, arm length, neck length) and if you wear corrective lenses. I'm 6'4", 185 lbs, with long arms, long neck, and wear glasses. My rifle has a 14.5" LOP, with the scope mounted as far forward as I can get it...

    Hunting & Fishing a good long-bow?

    Re: a good long-bow? I own both Howard Hill and Pronghorn longbows. Hill is a straight-limbed bow, likes heavy arrows, and has a little handshock. Pronghorn is a three-piece reflex-deflex takedown, faster and smoother than the HH. HH will run you $500-$600, depending on options. Howard...

    Daddys take your daughter shooting

    Re: Daddys take your daughter shooting I bought my daughter a Henry lever action 22 for her eighth birthday. "Daddy, can we go to the gun range today?" is music to my ears. As a bonus, it gets me out of chores. "Sorry Dear, I'd love to hang blinds today but I have to take our daughter to...

    Rifle Scopes NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope?

    Re: NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope? I did the exact same thing. They're also listed in the new optics section. Ordered mine on a Saturday night and was shipped first thing Monday morning. Thank you Alex. Try one, you'll like it.

    Rifle Scopes NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope?

    Re: NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope? I've only had mine for a month, but I think it's a great scope. Knobs can be retrofitted w/ zero stop for $320 if you decide later you need that. Mine is very well built and well finished. Admittedly, I haven't tried dropping it from obscene...

    Rifle Scopes NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope?

    Re: NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope? You unscrew the end cap from the parallax knob. Underneath is the battery and circuitry for the illumination. There is a small potentiometer that is adjusted with a jewelers screwdriver. This pot determines the brightness for the illumination...

    Rifle Scopes NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope?

    Re: NF 3.5-15 MLR MRAD a good starter scope? Yes, all NXS scopes have reticle illumination. Check out Eurooptics ( www.eurooptic.com ). He's a member on this site and has the 3.5-15x56 MLR MRAD new for $1300. I bought my NF from him (same model). Great customer service. -Mike
