    Best laser rangrefinder

    Re: Best laser rangrefinder I agree with Chiller I have the swarovski you can get them here used for 750 to 800. I think there is one "NEW" for 850 in the optics section. The only 2 things I don't like about it is the circle reticle is to big should have a dot in the middle. 2 I had to make...

    Gunsmithing Notching feed ramp for alpha mags.

    Re: Notching feed ramp for alpha mags. Thanks Treebasher thats a big NO then. I really dont see how milling the mag front would stop the bullet tip from hanging up under the feed ramp. Which is what I perceive is the problem. Maybe I just haven't thought about it enough. Thansk again Rad

    Gunsmithing Notching feed ramp for alpha mags.

    I was thinking on changing my Manners stock with seekins bottom metal to Terry cross sentinel. However I want to keep my OAL were it is in the seekins mags. I ask about moding my tac 30 for the Alpha mags and Jerry said it would void my warranty. I understand his position but was curious if...

    Re: case for swarovski LRF Well The tongue thing and the caffeine break didn't help (or it may have been a beer or 12) but my line sucked so against better advise I took it to the belt sander. As expected I did get pilling and roles but I did get a flat straight line all the way around...

    Rifle Scopes case for swarovski LRF

    Re: case for swarovski LRF How do you think a belt sander would work? Just not that good with a blade. Thought if you watched the heat cut close to the line and finished with a belt sander might get a good clean line? Any thoughts?

    Anyone know of a case or lens covers for a 8x30 swarovski LRF. Looked at BH and opticsplanet. All I see is the plastic "Holster" I was wanting something to protect the objective lenses and the body better. AHA Rad

    alpha mags in tac 30 and pierce actions

    Will Alpha type 2 308 mags run in a stiller tac 30 without modifying the feed ramp. The rifle has a seekins mag system @ 2.940 OAL in it now so it seems it should fit. I am thinking of changing the stock to a Mcree and want to keep the extra length. Is there a opening length to use as a guide...
