    Sidearms & Scatterguns If you had $2000 to spend for a range pistol…

    I vote for a Ruger mark IV, a suppressor, optic, and a shit load of ammo.... that said, the Staccato is a sweet shooter. I saw the other day Springfield has an optics ready TRP, I might take a look at that.

    KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

    I've used Swarovski and Kahles optics a long time. While that Kahles 6-24 is a great optic, it's a 10 year old optic and a 4x erector system. The newer technology and optics, particular from these guys is going to continually improve, or at least that's been my experience for the last 15 years.

    1-8 / 1-10×

    I sighted in an nx8 yesterday, was pretty impressed with it. can't speak to the March. I've had good luck with the Vortex stuff, the dot is daytime visible.

    Rifle Scopes Another “I want a new scope” thread

    what looks best to your eye if you've gotten behind any of these. what caliber are you shooting? close and long distance you anticipate shooting? are you partial to mia or moa? are you partial to any reticles? are there any other features that are important to you?

    Optic choices for $3500 and less?

    Good morning, I'd put her behind all of them and see what she likes if you can. she's a very lucky little lady to get access to top tier scopes at 9. I don't think any of the options would be terrible, but for the low light and hunting aspect, the Kahles and Vortex would be my top picks. I...

    Optic choices for $3500 and less?

    Another vote for this. I like the Vortex myself. https://cstactical.com/vortex-razor-gen-iii-6-36x56-ffp-ebr7-d-mrad-rzr-63602/, that said, if you like the Leupold, I wouldn't hesitate to go that route. since she's going to be the one shooting it, why not let her get behind the scopes and see...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro Sale Trepidation

    I've had good luck with it so far. my guess is Garmin is just trying to spur sales because the economy is soft, they have incentive prices on a bunch of products, go check out the smart watches. It's not a purchase you will regret https://cstactical.com/garmin-xero-c1-pro-chronograph-sale/

    Help me pick some binos

    I've had good luck with the Vortex Fury RF binoculars. they are above your budget for binoculars, but if you combine your budget for the rf and binoculars, it's close. https://cstactical.com/vortex-fury-hd-5000-10x42-lrf301/ you didn't mention what you were doing with your binoculars. what's...

    I've had good luck with this unit in the past https://cstactical.com/trijicon-reap-ir-4-5x-60mm-dvr-thermal/ a few of my old customers in the New Orleans area use them for hogs.

    Vortex Impact 4000 Cold Weather Issues

    I've seen this happen with electronics over the years in the few times I've been in cold weather. something to keep in mind for sure. I've read the energizer cr123 can have some performance issues in cold weather, but hey who doesn't.
