    Hunting & Fishing 7mm to much recoil

    While the recoil pads will help mitigate the pain of the recoil, you'll still have a very "bouncy" rifle. The K95 is beautiful, but such a light rifle with a magnum cartridge should be quite tricky to shoot well. You wrote above that you are a beginner. This makes me think you could benefit from...

    Extract Strelok data from dead Android phone

    6) Here's another quick tip I found! You can often make a screenshot using the physical buttons. This puts a screenshot image file in the screenshot folder of your phone. If you can get the data transfer going, then you can navigate your phone one screen at a time. Yeah it's tedious but it...

    Extract Strelok data from dead Android phone

    So here's how it went: I found a lot of different apps and PC programs to run my phone from my PC. They all required actions from the phone. If not downloading an app, then at least some settings that needed changing in order for me to get access via the USB cable. This wouldn't do. I solved...

    Extract Strelok data from dead Android phone

    So I dropped my Samsung on the stone floor again this morning, this time the screen died. I can't unlock it. I got a new phone by lunchtime but I miss my Strelok dope. Is there a way to get it out of the Samsung?

    Range Report Any DOPE on the .308 150 gr TTSX? True G1 BC?

    No, I think I messed up my shooting at the 300 yard range. At one time I had to send my scope back for repairs... maybe that was what caused my weird POI. (It's a Kahles, and they were great about it) Since I posted this thread I've had better results more consistent and with a predictable...

    Rifle Scopes Importance of buying latest gen/release scope

    What do you mean by generation? I've seen that term used to describe the difference between two scopes with the exact same model designation but with some small fix or improvement. It could be that the first scopes had a poor button for the illumination, and that they fixed that for gen 2. I...

    Sako S20

    An actual milliradian is exactly 1 cm at 100 meters. I thought most high end scopes used 6283 mills for a full circle, rather than the US Artillery 6400 mils. Really not sure about that..

    Sako S20

    What difference is there to notice at longer ranges? The point of radians and the metric system that stuff lines up and checks out. It's not the same situation as MOA/IPHY, that just happens to be pretty close, by a random occurrence. 0.1 milliradians is a tenth of a thousandth of a radian...

    Rifle Scopes Strike Eagle vs Razor ?

    That's too bad! Very frustrating, especially in the middle of a move.

    Rifle Scopes Strike Eagle vs Razor ?

    Is the Razor or the money for it eventually coming back to you, or did you actually permanently lose $1420 trying to buy the Razor scope? There are other scopes that are decent and workable, that are not made in communist China, and that cost much less than the Razor. The Meopta Optika 6 line...

    Grip-n-Pull bullet puller?

    I'll revive this one. How does the Grip-n-pull compare to the collet pullers? I need to pull a bunch of .30 caliber hunting bullets, and my stupid plastic hammer thing won't cut it. The grip-n-pull has a pretty steep price for what it is, but if it works as well as the collet pullers, I'll...

    Dream set of Binos, Swaro, Leica, Steiner ?

    You can see details plenty far away with the 8x binos. I never mount my binos on a tripod, and I often take a peek holding them with one hand. A common use for me is moving through terrain and stopping to glass the surroundings for a minute before I keep walking. If I spot a deer or hog that I...

    Rifle Scopes Optic Failures

    I've got one right now. My Kahles K624i is boxed up and ready to be shipped back to Austria for repairs. When you turn the magnification dial, the reticle jumps approx 0.3 mils. Very visible on high magnification. If you just turn the mag dial back and forth a few degrees the reticle jumps up...

    Dream set of Binos, Swaro, Leica, Steiner ?

    This guy wants to see stuff at 1000-2000 yards, with tripod mounted binos. 8x or 10x is unnecessarily low magnification. I love my 8x and will argue against 10x all day, but I never mount my binos to a tripod. Go with more magnification.

    Dream set of Binos, Swaro, Leica, Steiner ?

    I have a Swarovski EL Range 8x42 that I love. Great colour and clarity. As a handheld bino, I think 8x42 is a great format. I very much prefer it to 10x. If the binos are going to be tripod mounted 99% of the time, why not go for something like the Swarovski SLC 15x56? They don't have a...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    I live a short drive from the Spuhr factory. A friend of mine had a screw strip just like you describe and posted a disappointed rant in a Swedish long range shooting Facebook community. The man Spuhr himself replied to my friends post and made sure his customer got a new set of screws and a...
