    AI chassis for Anschutz

    Thanks, have updated the information. Also, is the 5119 like other Anschutz triggers in that it can be both a single or two-stage if the user adjusts it to be. Lastly, the rep did not know if it could be used on Anschutz 1910's with the euro-style on bolt wing safety or just with the American...

    Leica did not have a booth. Actually, Leica, Sig, Vortex, and March were all without booths. I wrote a review on the Geovid Pro 32's earlier this year that may help.

    2023 review / article thread is now up. The first product for review arrived yesterday so I took a little break from finishing up the Shot stuff to get that started. I'll have some more stuff here in a day or so though.

    Precision Rifle Gear 2023 BigJimFish Reviw/Article blog: Arken, HiLux, Bushnell, Primary Arms, Optisan, nVisti, Sightron, Levels

    Update 2-5-2023: The first of the sub $1k scopes arrived yesterday. Man was that fast. Another scope is in rout as well. I’m stoked. I’ve never been able to get this early a start on the years reviews before. Typically, I’m already in to my busy work season when things get rolling. This is so...

    2023 has come, as has the first of this years review products so I guess it’s time to start up the 2023 BigJimFish review thread. As with the previous 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 threads, the purpose of this thread is to provide a catalog of this years reviews and articles, give you a...

    Sightron does not use any OEM's, it rather is the house brand of it's parent company which is itself an OEM for many brands. Sightron's parent company may make some of the Primary Arms stuff, I don't really know, but they don't make the SLx line as they have production facilities in Japan and...

    ShotShow 2023 some sub $1k scopes and the rest of the other new scopes: Sorry about the delay on this guys. My new computer took a dump on itself and it took me a week or so of worth of free time to find and replace the offending component. Many of you will remember back a couple of years ago...

    2022 BigJimFish Review/Article blog: Leica Geovid Pro, Mantis X10 Elite, Sightron PLR FFP

    Update 1/27/2023 I was able to get a hold of the Mantis folks at ShotShow and talk to them about the review I wrote a while back but never heard from them on. A lost e-mail was the culprit. Than the years other reviews getting rolling the Mantis review got put on the back burner. It’s up now...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    I spoke to the Lapua folks at the show. Long range is exactly what most folks expect, a little hotter Center-X / Midas+. Super long range is lot selected long range and is somewhere in the vicinity of Midas+ / X-act in terms of selection criterion. It's not a big change, but it does matter...

    Yes, I should have it in the next update which will be primarily focused on scopes. I will also be reviewing the S6 probably towards then end of the year. Sightron as a whole seems to have decided on updating it's lineup so expect not only this but more updates in the not too distant future.

    Sure, here is the rundown from ZCO this year. ZCO’s new 10mil/turn turret on their 5-27x56 scope The first new release is, as you mentioned it, the 10mil per turn no-lock turrets. This is a configuration they have been being asked for by competition shooters. As you can see, it’s a 3+ turn...

    Honestly, I was surprised at the success of the NF 7-35 myself. I still don't totally get it especially given the big price bump it was over their 5-25. Whups, yea, I'll fix it. See above the the TT vs. S&B such as first impressions are. Yea, the turret improvement is dramatic. S&B turrets are...

    This is not a review. It is an impression and nothing more. Yes, the Tangent popped for me more than the S&B. This could be something as simple as the two handling color transmission a little bit differently or the sun hitting the targets a little different 10 min later. It's just a one look...

    ShotShow range Day 2023: S&B, TT, 9mm roller AR upper, Cadex, and Aliens ShotShow range day 2023 If range day can predictably deliver one thing at ShotShow, it’s wind. Thing is, that wind is usually itself pretty predictable. Left to right on the range at almost 90 degrees, strong and...

    Your going to like this years stuff then. I expect I'll do another round of sub $1k precision rifle scope reviews this summer. I saw a bunch of promising new options this year at the show and it is a favorite subject for me. Your going to have to suffer through the TT and S&B stuff first though...
