    Vortex Razor LHT

    I don't "see" the IQ in my LHT 5-22 as anything special, heck the IQ in my Athlon ETR 15-60 BR scope is noticeably better. Well to be fair this ETR actually does have nice glass for it's price. The poorly done LHT turrets shouldn't be in a scope of this price range and 6 mils per turn is such a...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    When I used to use my 1827F for NRL22 I'd pick up extra points on stages with awkward positions, meaning I didn't need to change or break my current position, and sometimes that made for winning the match. So it's much like using a semi except having the precision of a bolt gun. You save time...

    Is the .17HMR really much better than .22LR for varmints?

    Not that people do it much but the farther out "long range wise" for a 17 hmr it gets the tougher it is to see misses and by then that 17 grainer has blown a lot in the wind. Once in a while I'll run across interesting scenarios when shooting with friends. One involved my friend and his 17 hmr...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    I tried to get Mike to design a repeater more than once, the answer was nope. I'd like to see a pcp mimicking that Anschutz 1727F APR 22rf, including somehow implementing stick mags and the chassis integral to the action. Tall order but it'd be the ultimate.

    What cars you fools have?

    Congrats! That's what I'd get too if I had the extra $$$$$$ for it, well except in Red. I like the looks of C6's, not so much C7's, but love the body style of C8's. Your C8 is more performance than I could ever need/want. Our Camry hybrid is surprisingly spirited so I bet that C8 screams.

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    Thanks Lash. I let the woodsmith have free rein on the stock so it's all his design. A hybrid design to be used in different ways. I'd done things a little differently but to be fair the communication between us wasn't the best and I'm to blame for my part in this. Plus this was his first...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    It's my 4 year old Thomas HPX custom and set up for 65-ish fpe. This is when it's in it's benchrest configuration. This in it's normally used configuration, aka bipod and rear bag, but I don't shoot it prone much anymore. A 87Y group and that 100Y group with it. One time I hit our 100Y 1"...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    I doubt popularity of pcp's in PRS or NRL will ever catch up to that of rimfire. What I'd really like to see is how well the very best 22rf shooters in these sports would do with a well tuned good running pcp vs there own 22rf in a bigger match.

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    Man if you think 22rf's are zany then just own a pcp air rifle for a while and you'll learn what finicky really is. Though some pcp's are just about trouble free and others can be a PITA. It's mostly the match 22rf ammo cost that drove me away from shooting mine more often but also I can shoot...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Take airguns for example, you'll get the best of the shot if you use good form and follow through on the shot. Don't change your hold or anything else if possible and you'll be rewarded. Semi's if shot the same way can shoot great. The fact is you need to finesse the shot because you can't get...

    6mm Mini Short Mag

    No it's not worth the hassle and I know this because; I could roll WSSM brass on a flat surface and see the run out of the neck. The primer pockets were all over the place in depth and in other aspects. Flash holes were horrible as in not centered and there was a lot of brass burs punched into...

    EDC knife recommendation

    I've lost 2 decent knives so far and they were both Micro's. Each the same way meaning they jostled out of my pocket from the loose fit on my pockets. I prefer magnacut steel fixed blade knives now though. This special steel has most of the qualities of SS and much that of high carbon steel so...

    Damascus knives?

    I have both types, one a damascus folder I carry fairly often when I don't want the heft of my fixed blades, fixed most being Magancut steel for durability, edge retention, and I EDC them regularly. Some damascus folders I carry on special occasions and these are normal sized folders. Nothing...

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    Man what you stated is right on the mark! It's pretty insane no one has built a super stout pcp repeater yet. The potential is already present for pcp's to out do 22rf using current slug designs and as a bonus super low SD too. I've already mentioned it here on SH but those 25 cal Altaros 60gr...

    Athlon Ares ETR gen 2 vs Athlon Cronus BTR gen 2

    Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds like the G2 ETR is up there pretty good in most aspects for the price! Man I like my BTR G3 a lot and I didn't find anything odd about it as far as what you described but I don't have any scopes with super generous eyeboxes either and at 2.5x it seemed massive...

    Athlon Ares ETR gen 2 vs Athlon Cronus BTR gen 2

    We're talking the ETR G2 here so maybe it's up there with the, now older (totally antiquated-just kidding), Cronus G2. If that G2 ETR is anything like my Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50 is then it is likely very impressive in this space of rifle scopes. I'd like to compare myself to see the differences...

    Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25 Ultra Short question

    I'd buy both and another gun to put the extra on ;)

    22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

    No. From the outside I like it a lot but that's all I have to say right now. Most likely next Friday for initial try out but there's no reception back where I'll be camping. Might give a quick report if I go into town.

    It's hilarious that their helmets are twice the size of the wheels!

    Most of us were born way too late! Can you imagine doing this at their age.
