    Mossberg 500 value??

    Re: Mossberg 500 value?? Sounds like a deal. Mossbergs have not gotten near the play that they deserve. We had both 870's and 590's in the armory and the 870's seemed to have more issues then the 590's. I carried one for awhile in the Corps and never had a problem. A solid stock is certainly...

    Some new scope rings

    Re: Some new scope rings Gentlemen, I got to check these rings out the other day on Tony's rifle and yes they are very nice. The attention to detail in ring pairs being stamped and the pinned base pieces keep them from twisting on the base when you do the tighten up. The smaller bolt heads...

    Re: Tried a new product... Very nice a "sharkman" reference picture. B. Sain and I drank beer with Demo Dick in the early 90's,(well not sure how much B. drank I know I quit counting) good times. On a serious note, kit such as the FDAC is what is needed and will be used. The intelligence of...

    Advanced Marksmanship Tried a new product...

    Re: Tried a new product... But how can this be it does not light up, vibrate, weigh too much, or come in multicam? So you are saying all I have to do is know my MV, guesstimate my air temp and altitude and I can get a firing solution? You can fly with it but is it jump rated? K.I.S.S...

    Marlin 39a

    Re: Marlin 39a Get it. The one I had for years and shot many a rabbit, tree rat, and armadillo was one of the funnest guns to shoot as well as being accurate. One of the few guns I let go years ago that I had back. Get it and shoot the heck out of it and let us know how you like it.

    Troy BattleRail MRF-308 13.8" - experience?

    Re: Troy BattleRail MRF-308 13.8" - experience? No idea about the AR10 nut as what I am putting together is on a DPMS pattern rifle. The 13.8 forend I have coming has a proprietary barrel nut for use on the DPMS guns. I will certainly let you know my feelings on the rail when I get it...

    Rifle Scopes Sequoia Spotting Scopes

    Re: Sequoia Spotting Scopes Not a bad spotting scope and will certainly work for exercising your guns on local range. I don't consider it a cheap scope but rather inexpensive compared to Zeiss and company. I have the straight eye piece 15x45 and as folks have already stated the performance up...

    How to carry 3 years worth of ammo in the field

    Re: How to carry 3 years worth of ammo in the field Technology be damned it certainly shows how the folks of days gone by were getting the job done with a lot less and in a lot worse conditions than what we see today. Those were some hard men, makes me put it into perspective how soft we...

    Re: Argh, My Eyes!! Sniper52 is correct concentrate on the crosshairs and even with quality glass there will be a difference in the focal plane the eye is working in. The difference can be noticable depending on your individual eye issues. The two eye open thing can be a help as it does not...

    Looking to put a Troy 13.8" free float tube on a project 308 built on a DPMS/SR 25 pattern rifle. I am looking for feedback on this forend as well as a low profile gas black to go under it. How important is an adjustable gas block if it will eventually be used with a suppressor on the 16"...

    Spotter's Chart ?

    Re: Spotter's Chart ? Chris, Do not get me wrong, I agree 100% no batteries to wear out and as you siad it is rarely effected by weather. What I was eluding to is what makes this different from just a everyday laminated paper? I still have my pilots checklist book that had all my formats and...
