    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 Bikini Scope Cover

    Yeah, they can be found just about anywhere that sells cameras. They are priced anywhere from $1 - $15. The 'nicer' usually have a larger clamping area using most or all of the inside ring (not like the one in my picture, that was a cap from an old cheap spotting scope). The pinch area on mine...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 Bikini Scope Cover

    You can also look into a camera lens cap. I just posted a thread yesterday about it for a 56mm scope that's way too close for a trimmed cover. They attach from the inside so you can go as low as you want. I had to trim mine as it was laying around and the outer portion was just a hair to large...

    Rifle Scopes Inside Out: Another Cap Solution for Low Mounted Scope

    I'm still going to shave a little more off. But this is about how it will end up. It's not perfect, but I'm much happier than everything else I've been trying. Ordering a new one specifically for this would have worked out better but I had this laying around. Sent from my iPad using...

    Rifle Scopes Inside Out: Another Cap Solution for Low Mounted Scope

    So I recently found these caps that were from an old crappy spotting scope. They are similar to lens caps or cameras where tension is placed from inside the objective to keep them in place. Although its a great fit or my scope there is still not enough clearance for the barrel. Off to the...

    Rifle Scopes Opinion wanted: "Cheaper 8-32 scope" needed.

    I will again put my vote with Sightron. The 8-32x can be had at a great deal and is absolutely useful throughout its mag range. It does drop in brightness from 24-32 but not to the point where the extra magnification is losing detail. Your choice of reticle and turrets as well as side parallax...

    Words I'd ban from the gun community

    "Counter Sniper Scope" "Clicks" as in how many to reach yards, inches..." "Dave Muzz" may he whine in peace elsewhere "Yay" "Snipe" as a verb Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

    Advanced Marksmanship Managing Breathing & Respiratory Pause: Try this app next dry fire practice

    Im sure plenty of you practice proper breathing during dry fire sessions but Id like to share this idea to those open minded in trying something new. The idea is to track and/or modify your breathing with audible and visual feedback. By doing so you can not only know what capabilities are...

    My New Bench: Rock BR and Stable Table

    Has anyone tried modifying their bench to accept something like this? I like that it has a horizontal slide. This one by Caldwell can come as pictured or without the digiscoping attachment. I looks universal, that could be handy as well. Any thoughts? Other ideas? Sent from my iPad using...

    Set Trigger for CZ 455: Where are They???

    I know there's a few posts going about aftermarket trigger but I've been looking for the set trigger for my CZ 455 varmint and can't seem to find them anywhere. I know they are on back order from CZ, my local gunsmith has them on back order as well. Does anyone still have these in stock?!? I...

    Range Report Son's first time long range

    That's great... Some very impressive shooting for their first time past 300 yards. Congrats to you for teaching and to him for meeting the challenge. Im eager for both of my boys to reach the age I can bring them out. My eldest is not too far off. I think he's ready to start with a 22... His...

    My New Bench: Rock BR and Stable Table

    Aside from the obvious reasons for purchasing a portable bench I have done so in part from physical restrictions. I most often shoot prone but with spine problems taking their toll I'm giving myself another option to switch back and forth opposed to limiting the frequency and length of my...

    Flashlight-- around 1000 lumens

    Take a look into Olight and Fenix, they are both terrific companies and have a wide variety of options (size, flood, throw, emmiter type) including different power sources. They both have there lines of monster handheld lights that push 2,000+ lumens with very respectable candela ratings. i...

    Annoying Mosquito Bites - Gone: Quick Tip

    Hahaha. Ah, Wayne's brothers.. Rub some dirt in it and stop bitchin most will say. Yeah, ive seen deodorant for use as well. I believe its from aluminum salts that are supposed to dry it up. Some of them just mask it for the time being. I believe baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (both often...

    Annoying Mosquito Bites - Gone: Quick Tip

    I went out with a new rifle last week. Before shooting on my property I 'sight in' in the woods next to the clearing I have. Well it was a fuckin monsoon here about 2 days prior and it appeared that the mosquito population tripled. Repellant can help but when there are that many there's really...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M-223 2-8X32 Range Report

    I think Nikon did well starting the M-223 line. I have handled quite a few including the other magnifications. I must say, I was more impressed with Nikon with Leupold's Mark AR offering. I wish they would have taken it a bit further with reticle choices and finally break in with some matching...

    Best ballistic app for iPhone???

    So, I decided to download the IPad version of Ballistic AE. Not sure what the difference is besides the title but its twice the download size as the iPhone version. Anyway, I would still like to purchase one for my phone (galaxy note 2) as well. I was looking at shooter and advanced ballistics...

    Never had, or shot a AR, I have no need really for it but I think I want to build one.HELP

    Rock River Arms is great. I'll second that recommendation. Their predator pursuit and ATH are big sellers and wicked accurate. I'd go out on a limb to say they produce some of the most accurate and well built in their price range. Most of their carbines come with a moa or better garuntee and...

    Infrared (IR Thermometer) for Monitoring Barrel and Bore Temp

    I was actually looking at some similar products recently as well.Some of these are pretty interesting. I think it might be useful to have some of these in addition to an IR thermometer when times/places are not practical. I've looked at a few different brands including Omega.These are non...

    Best ballistic app for iPhone???

    Any recommendations between both platforms? I run android and iOS (galaxy note 2 & iPad 3) Any apps for android comparable to Ballistic AE? Is it worth getting Streklock or another app that's available on both systems? I always have my phone and 90% of the time carry my iPad as well but...

    Never had, or shot a AR, I have no need really for it but I think I want to build one.HELP

    The AR is a great platform, very versatile. I would highly reccomend at least get some time behind one before you try to build. Figure out what you like and become familiar with the system. Take a trip to a local gun store where you can get at least a feel for some different manufacturers and...
