    WWII Japanese Sniper Scope**Pics Up**

    I recently acquired a 2.5x japanese sniper scope. I found it in a box of military rifle parts that an old gunsmith had. I have only recently started researching it. The makers mark is a star with a circle and dot inside it. It says 2.5x10 on the eyepiece. It does not have the eyecup. It has...

    Desert boot recommendations

    I always wore Belleville 390 DES. They last forever, very comfortable, and look professional, unlike some of the high speed tennis shoe boots. Ill admit some of them are light and comfortable for a while, but they never last and started hurting my feet as they broke down. Only tried the rocky c4...

    My 5R Build...Coming along!

    I prefer 6-9. The 9-13 was too tall. I also have an atlas and love it. Both are great and it all comes down to what works best for you.

    Which chamber for 40XB

    Im looking for suggestions on what chamber to get for my 40XB build. This rifle will be used as a trainer, but my main concern is accuracy for my local steel silouhette shoots. I have read that certain chambers are tight and hard on certain types of ammo. I will most likely be shooting Eley...

    Who has a Rock Creek Rimfire Barrel

    I just ordered my barrel from Rock Creek last week. Its going on my 40xb. Remington varmint contour. Apparently they are putting 5r cut rifling in these. Last time i had heard they were using 4 groove medford rifling. Does anyone here have one of the 5r's? How does it shoot and what ammo does it...

    Which front rest to use

    Ill be watching this thread also. I have been in the market for a rest for some of my guns that dont have bipods. Im not a benchrest shooter by any means but i think its a good piece of gear. Good for rifles, slug guns, maybe even handguns. Im just unsure which one i need. Sinclair has about 25...

    Question about Ashbury Spotter Case

    From my personal experience i have found both the hard and soft cases to be rather unimpressive. I prefer the latches on a pelican because they for one feel more secure and they are easier to close and open. Also the plastic on pelicans seems to be stronger. Just my opinion, but i would buy a...
