    Rifle Scopes Help!? IOR vs. NF

    Re: Help!? IOR vs. NF I understand your dilema - I had the same one. After a lot or research (including this site), and a lengthy convo with Scott at Liberty, I bought the IOR - snipers hide version. I love that scope. But, as documented here, there are some downsides (eye relief, goofy...

    Photos Snow at the Korean War Memorial

    Re: Snow at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial The figures are so life-like. One of the things that I appreciated about this memorial, was the first soldier you walk up to as you walk up the sidewalk. He seems to be yelling at you to stay back, almost like he's trying to protect you. Very moving.

    suicide bombers threaten to strike

    THREAT OF STRIKE ACTION Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute ever the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last...

    Advanced Marksmanship Hunter Competition Info?

    Re: Hunter Competition Info? Also, if I'm hearing you right...one of your questions is can you compete in the hunter class with a 1 MOA gun? Based on the competitions I've been in...yes. If your load is 1 MOA out to even 400 yards..you're gun is fine. If people are shooting better than...

    Rifle Scopes Should I wait. Question for the Gurus.

    Re: Should I wait. Question for the Gurus. Good input from snpr9696. I have both a Zeiss conquest 14x44 (z 800) and a vortex viper 6.5x20.50mm. The zeiss is better glass, no question in my opinion. I love the z800 reticle for my 300RUM, however, no tactical knobs..which for my hunting...

    Any advice for the IRTC?

    Planning on going to the IRTC this year. I'm a fairly experienced 3 gun and long range tac comp shooter. I've got a couple friends who have shot the IRTC including one who has shot every one..but always looking for any advice. My impression is that the IRTC has changed a little recently...

    Question on gun coating ( painting )

    Re: Question on gun coating ( painting ) Ok, I took some pics of my own guns that I've duracoated over the past few years so you can see what my experience has been. I don't have pics of projects I've done for others, but I can safely say that those projects have worn the same as my own...

    Question on gun coating ( painting )

    Re: Question on gun coating ( painting ) Found it.. this is a pic of my key fob a year later. You can see some scratches and wear, but that's pretty good wear pattern considering. Note the wear and scratches on the anodized keychain. I will try to post some pics of the bolts that I've...

    Question on gun coating ( painting )

    Re: Question on gun coating ( painting ) Most CK must be baked (like in an oven). If you go that route, get a cheap oven thermometer and hang it in the oven so you know that your temp is right. A lot of ovens don't bake at a temp consistent with their setting. I've done several projects...

    Re: DPMS LR-308 pricing I just sold (last week) a DMPS 308 with a 24" bull barrel, JP trigger parts, Ergo grip, tac latch, and a Falcon Menace 4x14x44 scope and rings. I sold it for $1300 on arfcom. Mine had a regular ol A2 stock though - yours has the PRS which is an upgrade. I don't...

    Rifle Scopes Best Boresight Tool

    Re: Best Boresight Tool At the ranges I haunt, the 25 and 50 yard target holders are in a different area than the 100y holders. So, shooting targets at increasing ranges (25, 50, 100) means picking up and moving each time. Not a big deal if all you're doing that day is sighting in that...

    Rifle Scopes NF clarity

    Re: NF clarity The Zeiss conquest is hard to beat - especially for a hunting scope and if you can afford their Z reticle. However, if you want some "tactical type" features like target dials etc, then the Zeiss probably isn't what you want. I have a Zeiss with Z-800 reticle on my 300 RUM...

    Gunsmithing duracoat

    Re: duracoat Sorry, I'm a little late jumping in here... I agree with everything already posted, and understand that BigLake has decided not to duracoat his gun but have one tip on the inside of the actions. You can hit the insides with a light coat of matte clear. That will help protect...
