    Re: SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 Videos at Rifle Range CanPopper Nice video and thank you for the review, SS scopes where a good value back in the day when Tasco built them and have done nothing but improve on quality and features with SWFA running things. This is certainly a viable option and one I...

    Any Winchester 52 people out there?

    Re: Any Winchester 52 people out there? Well gentlemen I emailed Ken Viani and he no longer makes the mounts for the Win 52. I guess I will just have to go old school with a Unertl or Lyman. My 52 is a better shooter than any of the Rem 40X I have had the opportunity to shoot and I will keep...

    Re: I'm sorry I didn't appreciate you, .308 Win You are well on your way, you were lost now you are found. Here is a variation on a program that may help others come to realize how good they really have it and embrace the bosom of our true love, the 308 (I like to call her 7.62x51) 1. We...

    Hearing protection

    Re: Hearing protection foam plugs Here is why these work for me: cost 200 pair for around the $20 price point you mentioned, hygiene - I do not have to worry about folks getting the crud from someone else, higher NRR (32) versus the low 20's from muffs, ear muffs can be hot in the summer...

    Re: Articles for the new guys and some other updates If you have not taken the time to read through Trigger Monkey's articles and web site Shooting Voodoo you are missing out. The information he presents is not just for the FNG but has helped me to re-evaluate the choices I have made over...

    TAB Suppressor Covers: nice stuff

    Re: TAB Suppressor Covers: nice stuff Speaking specifically to the suppressor covers I can attest to the amount of time and energy that goes into product development. Not just materials and methods of construction but function and durability are tested to insure the customer is getting a...

    DIY Wind Indicators

    Re: DIY Wind Indicators I have used the fibergalss poles for bike flags and attached 1" flagging, make sure you are using the same length so you have consistency with your reads. The poles get the flagging up higher and allows you to put a piece of flagging low on the pole as well for...

    A quick tripod comparison with pictures

    Re: A quick tripod comparison with pictures Here are a couple of pictures of the large with a 45# plate on it. The maunufacture does not rate this kit for this much weight but fortunately for the end user they over engineered it. I had two reported failures with this tripod, one was sent...

    How much would it take for you to quit your job?

    Re: How much would it take for you to quit your job? Very educational and I had to go out on the web and see what all the hoopla was about cues. Well damn you are indeed in a unique situation. With your further explanation it sounds like this guy has some coin and is looking to start a new...

    How much would it take for you to quit your job?

    Re: How much would it take for you to quit your job? Don't be dazzeled by the flattery of someone wanting your knowledge or product without first understanding their motives. Business does one of three things, dies on the vine, nurtured by you and grows to produce now and more in the future...

    10.5" Barrel suggestions.

    Re: 10.5" Barrel suggestions. I went with the LMT complete 10.5" upper and have been pleasently surprised at its accuracy and durability to some hard use. The one thing I might reconsider if doing it again is going with a lighter contour instead of the XH barrel. A SBR sure does make it nice...

    Re: Is Unertl Optics Co. still in existence? Mr. Unertl I appreciate your time to enlighten as well as the legacy that is the Unertl USMC Sniper Scope. That scope was a big part of my life for several years and I have a T model on my personal M40A1 that is actually in the stock I was issued...

    Advanced Marksmanship Egg Shoot

    Re: Egg Shoot Are these blown eggs, plastic eggs (empty or filled), whole eggs (raw or hard boiled)? If they are whole eggs it is going to have to be a pretty good wind to give you a big fit. Get as fast and accurate ammo as you can find to reduce time in flight and as has been addressed...

    Photos Hardcore Hardware Australia

    Re: Hardcore Hardware Australia I started trying to work out a plan to build something very similar awhile back and and in the course of my research there are a bunch of folks building some great stuff. My idea was to have a tool that is large enough and durable enough to knock a loop hole in...

    Re: Tripoddery Again I appreciate the kind words on the tripod and cradle but do not sell yourself short you are no slouch with the rifle and could probably make that same shot standing on your head. As always I enjoy your pictures. If I can ever be of assistance with anything please do not...

    Spotting Scope Suggestion for 200 YDS. with .22lr

    Re: Spotting Scope Suggestion for 200 YDS. with .22lr ida is right on with the steel at 150 qand 200. I suggest you build or buy 6" and 12" swinging gong that you can attach to a stand. Another advantage to shooting suspended steel is that you can see the impacts from misses better and make...
