    Gun case help

    Have used Pelican cases for years and they have never let me down. I've stopped using them for camera gear just because of the weight of the cases but the protection is great…especially on an aircraft.

    Rifle Scopes AR mount options

    I purchased a riser for flexibility…moving my scopes around without having to remount them (ar to precision etc)

    DMR Trainer

    I built an upper with a Beyer barrel and have been really happy with it. Shoots cheap CCI SV 0032's very well which is good since it's easy to shoot 2-300 rounds every time I head to the range.

    Can you mount an Alas bipod on a sling swivel stud

    I have the BT21 for my TRG and IMO it works very well. The legs do fold back to around 45 degrees which does not limit my usage but does require a forward storage position.

    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    That was always my problem. To really put an edge on the blade you need to have the angle very precise. I never could until I purchased a system that had the rods to guide me.

    Budget range finder

    I have a Leupold that is not currently working. However, to be honest I never really found it to be reliable. Next time I'm going to spend enough to have a useful unit that will work in the real world.

    Lets see those tactical 22s!

    Wow defcon, do you have any build threads for some of the rifles? Very cool! I have a cmmg .22 AR upper and I'm currently collecting parts for a custom setup w/ a beyer barrel.

    Rifle Scopes Mark 4 vs Mark 6

    I would suggest the mark 6. I do not have any direct experience using the new scope but I have one on order. For me the smaller lighter weight package makes the scope unique in the leupold lineup. Also the locking turret on top w/ a covered windage is perfect for the TMR as I will dial in...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I have a beeman R10 that I have used a lot over the years. Recently replaced a broken main spring and is currently shooting very well. Use it mainly for shooting in the basement (10m). For 1c a shot with no travel expense...hard to beat.

    Rifle Scopes Red dot backup on scope or rail?

    Great suggestions...I have already purchased a leupold extended riser rail for the AR to get the proper eye relief and height with standard hight rings. The scope has not arrived yet but from what everyone has responded with I should spend some time w/ the scope on 3x and see how fast I can...

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    I noticed that cci has different product numbers that say CCI SV. The ones I've had good luck with are the 0032's. Are the other ones just packaged differently?

    Rifle Scopes Red dot backup on scope or rail?

    Thanks for all the responses so far. I recently purchased a mark 6 3-18 that I would like to use on my 308 bolt gun and my spr style 5.56 AR. I was torn between the 1-6 and 3-18 because I would like to use my AR for all types of shooting with distances of 10-400 yards. I would also like to...

    Rifle Scopes Red dot backup on scope or rail?

    I was just wondering what people prefer when mounting a red dot sight for backup / close targets to assist a higher magnification optic. One option is to mount a 45 deg offset to the rail and the other is to use a scope tube adapter / ring adapter and mount the RD higher. What is your preference?

    Rifle Scopes I don't know how tall and what type of rings for flattop AR

    Some people when they shoot put their nose right on top of the charging handle. You might find this is a comfortable way to shoot. If that is the case you will need a base that extends forward from your upper rail to allow enough eye relief. Is your new rifle coming with a fixed stock or...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 8 3.5-25? H58

    I think it depends on the rifle size / weight and intended usage. It is a large heavy scope and would not be the best for a hunting rifle IMO.

    Rifle Scopes Gen2 Bushy 3-21x?? Dealers, or S m a r t peepl

    I'm seeing almost a 50% increase in price from the dealer I normally purchase from for the same scope but with a zero stop and 10mil per revolution. No difference in optical quality?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x40mm, 34mm Tube, w/ TMR Pics and Review..

    I ordered a TMR 3-18 a couple weeks ago...should arrive next week. Thanks for the review and info on adjusting the ZS.

    Rifle Scopes 300 AAC Blackout Reticle Choices

    I'm not too familiar with the reticles designed for the 300 BO but I would think a more flexible one like a tmr might be a better way to go. Something like the patrol 3-9 might work great for different loads (supper/sub sonic) where you memorize mil drops for different distances.

    Suppressors Need a suppressor cover- Tab? Elite Iron? or ???

    Currently looking for one...thanks for the heads up on the Armageddon cover. I have more looking to do. Any quality examples < $50?

    Rifle Scopes Should I switch from USO to S&B?

    Never used a S&B before but have spent some time behind a USO. I really like the optics but I tend to treat it like a scope not a expensive camera lens that is producing 20x30 inch prints...
