    Tactical Backpack - Need Your Recommendation

    Re: Tactical Backpack - Need Your Recommendation I've been using an Eagle 3-day pack (The A-III with MOLLE straps) for about two years now for EDC (and I do carry it almost every day), and I'd recommend it. Comes with a padded belt and has an internal pocket for hydration. There's also an...

    Rifle Scopes Metric mil reticle subtension...coincidence?

    Re: Metric mil reticle subtension...coincidence? As folks have already said, there was an expression you learned in high school that went like: Arclength = Radius * Angle In fact, since the concepts of arclength and radius are more simple, that is actually the formal definition of what an...

    CZ 452 Lux + 10x42 SSHD mounting?

    Re: CZ 452 Lux + 10x42 SSHD mounting? Thanks for the photos, they are tremendously helpful. Now I just need to find a place online with a 453 Varmint in 22LR in stock.

    CZ 452 Lux + 10x42 SSHD mounting?

    Re: CZ 452 Lux + 10x42 SSHD mounting? Thanks for that. I think I've settled on the 453 American, so the comb should not be as big a problem. I'll go with the DIP rail. I'm partial to one-piece scope mounts. Have you had any experience putting with an AI 30mm mount on this rifle by any...

    CZ 452 Lux + 10x42 SSHD mounting?

    I will with very high likelihood pick up a CZ 452 Lux (24", with ironsights) .22LR soon. I would like to mate it with a 10x42 SSHD for target shooting out to 100 yards. For those who have done this combo before, what mounting did you use to clear the bolt handle/clear the rear sight? It also...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1-6.5x24???

    Re: Bushnell 1-6.5x24??? Thanks for the replies. Seems like a lot of contrasting opinions. Those who report reticle bleeding (Deadly0311, Bullitt2075) were both on the FFP? I'm firmly on SFP if I get this. The main attraction is that it is 1 to 3 hundred dollars cheaper than the Razor and...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1-6.5x24???

    Re: Bushnell 1-6.5x24??? Thanks for the reply. I've also seen that review, but I was looking for more info on the FFP. I agree with you, and I'm thinking the exact same thing: I know that I will probably only be flipping between 1x and 6.5x instead of using any of the in between...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1-6.5x24???

    Hi all, I'm interested in this scope, particularly the FFP version with the BTR-2 reticle. I don't know if anyone has experience, but my primary concerns are 1.) Is the illumination bright enough for Aimpoint-like use at 1x? 2.) Is the illumination clear or does it cloud? Does the...

    Rifle Scopes EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!!

    Re: EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!! GHOSTRECON: I'm almost certain the recoil impulse from just firing your weapon strains the scope a lot more than you can by dropping it from 5 feet. Sorry, first post.
