    Is it worth it to upgrade to a ZCO or TT

    I'll be interested to read your evaluation. Threads like this are critical to members like me. I have absolutely zero chance to make up close and personal evaluations.

    Do All Hunting Round Decision? Rifle Build help

    Sometimes the better question to ask is "what will do the job without introducing unnecessary complexities?". Now, of course, you have to address optics, chamber dimensions,............. Never mind. I've been here too long.

    11mm Dovetail scope rings

    Here is a very elegant and inexpensive solution for your problem. They are designed to be used with Burris Z Rings or Signature Z rings. I used these on a 54 Super match with the Signature rings which allowed me to build cant into the system...

    Movie Theater Let's have an argument -- Which is the Best Bond Movie...

    For me, it's definitely From Russia With Love. Remember that Fleming wrote most of his books in the '50s during the cold war. From Russia With Love debuted in '63 and reflected that period. Fleming's Bond was based on characters he knew during WWII experience in British Navy Intelligence...

    Help me select a scope - I’m overwhelmed by options!

    Eotech Vudu 5-25X50. If you haven't pulled the trigger (pun intended), https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/eotech-vudu-5-25x50-md3-reticle-ffp-illuminated.7110901/#post-10021052 The last one lasted about a day in the PX for this kind of money. They are an ultra-short and weigh 30...

    Spend my money. Do I need a MK20? Edit: Apparently we're forming a Uboat crew now.

    I had the "opportunity" to spend a few days on a diesel boat a little over a half century ago. Leaving port, we were instructed in the use of the toilets, the bunks and where the food was. The bunks were too small for a grown man, the food was better than we were used to and when they...

    Great Buy Goretex Surplus Parka

    PSA. About five years ago I retired a Columbia Quad Parka outer shell that I'd been wearing for almost 40 years. Over thirty years of that time we lived on a farm in the PNW. That old quad parka had seen winds to over 100MPH and deluge rainfalls. It had been patched so many times, due mostly...

    Am I being unreasonable here?

    Now that we know this is the case, I think it would be reasonable for you to provide us with the name of the maker as they will go on my list of GTG. You did the right thing by ignoring the "It's on you" posts and pursuing the matter calmly and in a reasonable manner. When you were able to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt 1911Commemorative European Theater

    Questions? Do you want a 1911A1? Would you willingly pay more than a similar non-commemorative 1911? Would you give the man $500. and receive nothing in return? There will probably be more commemoratives for sale NIB than NIB commercial sale 1911s from the same time period. You decide which...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    @Aries64 Thanks much for the response. I'll pick up one of the boxes of Black Hills 190s. I'm a little concerned that some of the currently advertised is annotated factory seconds and some not. It does not lend confidence. WTF, this whole place is about pulling the trigger :rolleyes...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    I've got a 66 I'm waiting for that will be chambered for the FGMM 190gr SMK. Haven't seen any available for some time. Has anyone tried the Black Hills that seems to have some availability? As an alternative, do you have a load that will shoot alongside the factory load?

    Straight Razors

    Durham Duplex. My father used one and his father used one. Badger-hair brushes and the shaving soap came in a wooden container with a wood lid. I used one from the early sixties until I went into the military in '67...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Here's the OG (Original Gangsta') SPR. It's had minor changes. It's in the original HS Precision stock with an aluminum bedding block. The OGs did not come with a rail and this has a 20MOA Seekins. The bottom metal on these is aluminum and I swapped out a later DBM in steel. It has a...

    K-Bars Questions For The Randall Scholars

    Pulled the trigger or whatever the equivalent is in knife parlance. #1-7, stainless, border patrol grip in brown micarta (maroon?) and it will be my new seven inch utility knife in the kitchen. The perfect fit between my six and eight inch forty five year old Wustof utilities. It's exactly...

    K-Bars Questions For The Randall Scholars

    I'm not new to quality knives. As a matter of fact I have way to many to justify. I own customs, bench mades, special order, etc., etc. But, there is an itch I have never scratched. Back in the day, Randalls were highly regarded. I've handled a bunch but never used one enough to...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO and TT? Any testing by the military?

    Well now, there were some helpful answers. As to WTFC, I do. I realize that a solicitation by a branch of the military involves parameters that are not oriented to choosing the best piece of gear. On the other hand there are units with extensive discretionary budgets. I would have been...
