    Photos DIY GAP Camo with Todd Jackson Paint

    Thanks guys...I thought it turned out good for my first time. Definitely know what I'd do differently second time around!

    Photos DIY GAP Camo with Todd Jackson Paint

    Just a pic of my DIY GAP pattern paint job on my rifle stock. I used Todd Jackson's paint, Bulldog stencils, and my Sata mini HVLP with 0.8 tip. I did deviate a bit and used single stage matte lacquer to even things out. It has a nice even matte sheen with the lacquer applied. Todds stuff...

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    Count me as one who did a double take on the rankings on the glass-part of the test. Despite what others say, 6 people looking thru each scope at a controlled target and with controlled lighting DOES mean something, at least to me. I have to give it more weight than simply reading posts from...

    My evening project - FDE AICS mag

    Did you scuff up the mag? Paint isn't going to stick-at all- to a surface that hasn't been scuffed.

    Painting GAP Camo

    The one I saw was on another forum, but he started with Tan, then black, and finished with Green.

    Gunsmithing Re-Cerakote a rifle bolt

    I have read pros/cons of coating the bolt....but if you don't do the lugs, there shouldn't be much there to interfere with the smoothness or operation of the bolt, correct?

    Gunsmithing Re-Cerakote a rifle bolt

    Can anyone tell me what grit to blast my Cerakoted bolt with so that I can redo it? 100 grit Aluminum O, or 120? Glass bead? Or does it need to be blasted? Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    Gotcha. So basically its not so much cheaper materials being used to build the scopes as it is cheaper prices for the same materials since its the US. Makes sense, and I'm glad to hear that. This scope is definitely on my radar.

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    Stupid question, and not meant to be insulting... Obviously, there must be something cheaper or different vs. the "regular" Steiner scopes to be able to sell it at the price point its being offered in. What exactly are you giving up or skimping on by manufacturing here in the US vs Germany?

    Rifle Scopes New Kahles, Steiner, Vortex G2, or ??

    Looking for a new scope for my Crescent Customs build. I like FFP, Zero Stop, and would like something in the 5-25x range. I know almost all these scopes have very good to great glass, but I also know they all have their little negatives. I'm very interested in the Vortex, and own many...

    Range finders

    Agree. I ranged a Cell tower at 960 yards, so the capability is there. On the other hand, I don't see myself taking a shot of 700 yards on any game animal. Either I'll get closer, or wait for a better shot. That's just me. So for my needs the Leica is a winner.

    Oh yeah? What kind of range? Targets?

    Leica 1600b - Im impressed!

    The longest distance I have tried out of mine is 1400 yards, and it was a small water tower in 100% bight sunshine conditions. 700 yards in foggy condition on a Russian boar. 850 yards on a deer in overcast conditions. But to the OPs point...this is a GREAT RF for the money IMO. Especially...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 4.5-27 worth giving up my 5.5-22 NXS?

    What are the thoughts on the new Vortex glass vs the Nightforce standard NXS line? Obviously, I know the opinion would be based on last years HD glass but still....I have read that some people don't even think the NXS line (Not F1) of glass isn't any better than the Zeiss and Leupold scopes. As...

    I have had decent experiences with Optics Planet, but you can forget about using any discount codes or offers towards NF. At least, I haven't had any luck.

    Rifle Scopes Fun with a laser level

    The cheap levels are accurate to 1/8' at 30 feet. The more expensive levels are accurate to 3/32" at 35'. So for all practical purposes setting the laser back 10' from a wall should get you accuracy that is dead on. Its not the level itself that is "inaccurate" at a given distance...its...
