    Flashlight-- around 1000 lumens

    I'd look at the Malkoff Hound Dog with MD4 body. It doesn't quite reach that raw output level but it has an extremely well designed head/reflector for throw and will take two 3100mAh 18650 batteries (or 4 CR123A) for a great combination of small size, light weight and excellent throw. My XP-G...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice 2.0

    Ah, so it does. Next question is: what do I get for an extra $1000 over the SWFA?

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice 2.0

    So far the frontrunner is the SWFA SS HD 5-20. So far I've only read great reviews, how does the glass compare to Leupold's new 3.5-18 Mk6? Also, I read something about a discount from SWFA for SH members, is that still valid?

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice 2.0

    Thank you all for the feedback, I have a few changes in priority. I've decided I want at least 15x on the high end, and am willing to sacrifice weight to get there. Initially the scope will be mounted on my .243, but I have a .300 win mag it will likely go on in the future. Also I buggered up...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice 2.0

    I'm hesitant to go with Vortex because most of their stuff if overpriced "Made In China" gear from what I've seen :/

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice 2.0

    I've zoomed in more precisely on what I want in a scope and am looking for some more advice. (sorry for the bad pun :p) Here are the things I want: FFP Mil-Dot (or reticle similar to the CMR-W 7.62 with the dot+horseshoe, not the drop/windage stuff) Light weight preferred ~$2000 or...

    Rifle Scopes Scope to meet my Criteria

    Re: Scope to meet my Criteria Thanks for your replies guys, I'll take a look at the SWFA and Weaver scopes you mentioned Good point about the 1-turn, it isn't really necessary per-se so I'll remove that from my OP.

    Rifle Scopes Scope to meet my Criteria

    Re: Scope to meet my Criteria My price range is as much as it takes to get the features I want :p I'd like to cap it at $1500 but honestly if the value is there I will save my money longer. I do want FFP because I'm certain in the future when I'm shooting 1km I will want to have it :P

    Now that I've got a spotting scope squared away, it is time to start saving for a good rifle scope. I've done a bit of reading on the subject, and here are the features I want: =Not made in China =Decent optics (don't have to be great) =MIL-Dot reticle =Adjustable Parallax =FFP =0.1 MIL clicks...

    Question about Shooting Prone

    Re: Question about Shooting Prone I think I solved my issue. When I was shooting prone from the bed of my truck, I only had a small sand bag to rest the rifle on. I think this positioned the rifle too low, which lowered my posture and changed the point that the butt rests upon. When I use my...

    K31 Barrel Damper?

    Re: K31 Barrel Damper? Those both seem to be threaded though for some reason they appear to have a set screw. Do you guys think they're worth it ($100 threading kit + $40 damper) if I'm not going to use a scope?
