    AR Components Identification Question

    If buying one for myself I would look for something of colt quality or better. I'm not really one for bargain firearms or optics if I can help it. However, the configuration is pretty much what I was wanting so I figured what the hell, I'll give it a try. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot...

    AR Components Identification Question

    I'm not an AR guy so bear with me. I've been considering getting an AR in 308 for a while and recently ended up with one that I wouldn't buy for myself, but it sort fell in my lap. (long story) Anyway, it had started out life as a DPMS LR 308, but now has a Troy forend, small contour Stainless...

    Rifle Scopes Big game hunting scopes!

    Save your pennies and get an nxs 2.5-10x32 or x42. They are just what you've stated you're looking for. Low profile and tough as nails. I use the x32's in mil/mil, but have a x42 on the list.

    High Quality Compass?

    I used to work in the timber industry and spent lots of time navigating by compass with maps/ aerial photographs. I had very good luck with the Suunto's and Silvas's. Never used a Cammenga compass, but I would imagine they are a safe bet as well.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    Damn! You're really creating trouble for me. :) +1 on what Buckey asked. Where'd you find it? Beautiful country, nice rig, and a sweet little hunting optic. I can see my wife rolling her eyes already when I try and justify this.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32

    You see, there's nothing about that statement that isn't going to get me in trouble. The Mrs. is Very supportive of my "habit", BUT she certainly has her limits. :) (Although, I'm kind of liking that train of thought.) Hmmmmmm......

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32

    Alright! You peckerheads are talking me into one of these. Dammit! I have a brand new Swarovski S3 3-9 I'd trade for one of these in similar condition and in a Mil/Mil configuration. Hey Scott! Do you take trade in's? :D I'll need to get some rings for one as well.

    Rifle Scopes nxs 2.5-10 illumination question

    I have a couple of these and on the older one the illumination knob stops at the point where it turns off the illumination. On the newer one it has two additional settings beyond that, one looks like some sort of half setting and the other appears to be a full setting or something like that...

    Thread order

    There is another site i occasionally visit that has this setup. I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!! The old format was quick to load and user friendly. (intuitive) This format is confusing and a pain in the A$$. I applaud Lowlight and Co. for trying to improve the site, but this is no good. It will...

    What I learned from my first ND

    Re: What I learned from my first ND Scary stuff. I'll bet you don't forget that anytime soon. Thankfully you had it pointed in a safe direction. Several years ago a guy with a fish camp near me came by wanting help getting a moose out he had shot late the evening before. I got my stuff...

    Lake City 243win Brass?

    Re: Lake City 243win Brass? I thinking it's probably resized 308. I haven't heard anything back yet from him since posing some questions about it's origin and how to acquire more. Really don't want to go through all the hassle of resizing plus turning necks for this rifle.

    I converted a gun hater to a gun owner last night

    Re: I converted a gun hater to a gun owner last night I'm glad it all worked out and you didn't get yourself killed in the process. I will say, that being a woman, she may be carefully planning your demise. They don't forget shit like this. Best of luck. "yard apes" I'm still laughing.
