    Swarovski SLC & EL Binos: Differences?

    Thanks for all the input guys, I really appreciate it. To make this choice even harder I've come across the SLC HD version. Its priced right between the regular SLC and EL. The HD also has fluoride glass. Looks like they stay under 2,000 though. I'm not sure I'm ready to spend more than that...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII vs NIghtforce

    I have the same scope and I think I know what you're referring to... Aside from minimal abberations that can be seen against a bright white target there is distortion on higher magnifications if your head is not center and/or you're straining. Bright light on the target makes it worse. Try...

    Swarovski SLC & EL Binos: Differences?

    The ones I was looking at have Swarodur, Swarotop and Swarobright coatings... I didn't even think about what year production they are... Maybe they are Pre high dispersion as well? I'm a little confused... I double checked and the 15x 56mm SLC are $1,499 and the EL's are only a few hundred less...

    Swarovski SLC & EL Binos: Differences?

    Alright, sounds clear that they're pretty different then . Would you say the it is more noticeable on the higher mag models? Or is there a magnification that's more of a gem than others? Just curious where the fluoride glass really stands out. I don't mind paying the extra if they are that much...

    Swarovski SLC & EL Binos: Differences?

    I have been holding on to a gift card for a while now and have been debating getting a new pair of binos. As I understand, the EL's are somewhat the gold standard. I have an opportunity to get a pair of the higher magnification SLC for around $12-1,300 Anyone have experience with both? Are the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What do you guys use to sharpen your knives??

    Thanks for the comment Cartman. To those who are using the smaller worksharp.... Not the 3000... You can get commercial belts for it, check your local woodworking store. They last more than twice as long, have a thicker backing and different grit options. Also, there was a group buy a while...

    A Quick Look: Vanguard Low Angle Tripod and Window Mount

    I just picked the these up. I've been looking for a few new attachments. I wanted the ability to go low angle, its my main interest in this model. The legs lock at 10°, 25°, 50° and 80°. It has a second shorter tube that attaches to the ball head for proper clearance and lower viewing. I haven't...

    CZ 455 varmint 22magnum

    I've only had mine for a short while. Currently have the 17hmr barrel, will likely be purchasing the 22lr and wmr as well. Shoots well, even in search for which ammo is best. I think the trigger upgrade will be a big step up. It is well built in my opinion, I chose it over the savage. It felt...

    AR help...please

    I've heard of this issue before. I believe It has to do with the shape of the hammer. Apparently, some shapes do not engage the HK firing pin properly. Look at the difference in the face of the hammer on the Seekins and S&W. Does the M&P have a flatter hammer? Try swapping the trigger...

    Ak47 optic and mount advice

    Umm.... Body is very thin for an Eotech. I tried this once and was pretty awkward. Even with the smaller XPS/EXPS line it would be a bit much. For me the larger sights really detract from what makes it unique. The 7mm riser makes it even more ridiculous. Aside from the height they're really fat...

    Ak47 optic and mount advice

    Personally, I would stick with light/small reflex sights like what has been recommended above. It becomes pretty awkward with larger sights up front, shifting balance and no longer feeling like an AK. Using the Ultimak or similar front mount would be ideal. If you don't want to replace I would...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII vs NIghtforce

    The 30mm mounting area is one piece. Look where it begins to widen for the objective end. Theyre not shady, however their website has never been properly updated. Eg. Pictures of a scope with different turrets than the description. I assume its just an IT issue, or the lack of IT. Bushnell has...

    shooting problems that opperator error

    I agree, There is a time and place to consider those things. While you're pulling the trigger is not one of them. Over thinking something that is already developed second nature and committed to muscle memory is one of the quickest ways to disturb it. If you feel anxious when approaching or...
