    Rifle Scopes Do it all Scope? Hunting, Target, Long Range

    Re: Do it all Scope? Hunting, Target, Long Range Minimum objective diameter should be 50mm imho. That way you still get a decent exit pupil when magnification exceeds 15 if you buy something capable of that or more. During low-light dusk/dawn hunting or in dense vegetation you will sooner or...

    Rifle Scopes First rifle and scope setup

    Re: First rifle and scope setup Another thing to consider is that (especially) some of those hunting/fishing "general stores" hire in unexperienced or less experienced employees, I have seen, up close and personal, some rather interesting examples of scopemounting...

    Do you shoot your AR in the rain?

    Re: Do you shoot your AR in the rain? Taking it for granted you have spent quite some time indoors, I find it safe to assume that at some point you have seen movies depicting outdoors handling of weapons. Take the opening scene of "Saving Private Ryan"... now, comparing actual photographic...

    good reliable AR trigger

    Re: good reliable AR trigger I can only speak for the RRA 2-stage as that is what I run, crisp and clean at a reasonable price. There are better out there, but I decided that for my use it was not worth the the leap up in price, and I would never run anything but a 2-stage in a sa rifle...

    Tactical Knife info needed.

    Re: Tactical Knife info needed. You mention a line of knives, I take it that you are looking at several models aimed at different purposes? The below are my personal preferences for heavy use military style blades, hunting and fishing require other tools... 1 is a medium heavy 10-12" knife...

    Rifle Scopes Killflash Yes or No

    Re: Killflash Yes or No For hunting fourlegged targets, a sunshade is preferrable. It will not darken your image through the scope as you may slightly experience with a killflash, especially at dusk/dawn, and it will be way easier on your eyes in daylight with the sunshade attached. The...

    Best Collapsable Stock for and AR-15

    Re: Best Collapsable Stock for and AR-15 In my opinion, only one way to find out, try some... I have after a while come down to a, for me, pretty decent setup, upper - Sabre Defence 18" mid-length 410SS fluted barrel lower - DPMS standard Sights - Sabre Defence stock BUIS and an NSN-DOC with...

    AICS - Rear bag or mono pod?

    Re: AICS - Rear bag or mono pod? Personally, when shooting prone with the AICS system I use a combo of Accu-shot monopod,fist and rear bag. Monopod only for those flat-surface range sessions where you have all the time in the world, fist or bag with or without monopod extended for the rest...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint on an AR w/Front Site

    Re: Aimpoint on an AR w/Front Site Would highly recommend you try moving the Aimpoint further forward, preferrably as far as it will go on the flattop. Shooting/aiming with both eyes open, this will increase the FOV and enhance the impression that the dot is "floating mid-air" with less...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MARK 4 CQ/T

    Re: Leupold MARK 4 CQ/T Its a nice scope. Dont own one but shot them a bit. Personally I prefer Aimpoint w/flip-to-side or twist-off magnifier (depends on setup, both are excellent for quick target acquisition) or ACOG 4X with Docter. I find both of these combos faster and more versatile than...

    Re: Army units using S&B? Dont know f its of any interest, but over here, most of LEO and mil rifles up to and including the .50 Barret is equipped with S&B day optics. The standard issue red-dot is Aimpoint for HK416 btw. John - out

    Need some help..... fast

    Re: Need some help..... fast Brand new gun? Either sloppy mag spring, the first rounds should come out OK as there will be more tension with a full mag, and problem increase as mag is emptied. Or sticky follower/dirty or slightly dented mag, the latter should make the problem more prone in a...

    Talk to me about precision, long-range AR15s

    Re: Talk to me about precision, long-range AR15s I suppose we are talking "out-of-the-box" barrels here? As far as brands, I can highly recommend Sabre Defence as a supplier for your upper. I have an 18" 1:8 twist fluted SS barrel with the Gill-brake, and it has performed great so far, about...

    HK91, have a big box of parts

    Re: HK91, have a big box of parts The diagram above posted by E.P. should be the right one. It looks like the bolt carrier++ and a handful of small parts are missing, but it should be relatively easy to come by those over there, as several companies makes aftermarket stuff that "should" fit...

    Rifle Scopes Counter Sniper Optics

    Re: Counter Sniper Optics WTF is that "POLICE" label doing in the same pic as that fancy toilet paper roll hanger? What I REALLY hope for right now is that if I EVER find myself in a situation where any LEO sniper needs to take a shot passing anywhere near my person...a CS scope is not...

    Suppressors 1911 dilemma... springfield vs kimber

    Re: 1911 dilemma... springfield vs kimber From my experience, any out-of-the-box 1911 not built as GI/mil-spec may or may not have reliability issues, feeding issues etc. Brand does not mater, its a fact when manufacturers try to push "custom" guns off an assembly line, without the personal...
