    Shot Show 2025 Rumours

    I don't think many will just dump a Garmin to test it...but it'll put a major pinch in the market that Garmin used to have a strangle hold on. I expect a Garmin Gen2 and the rest of the market will have to either drop price or add features. New buyers that waited might be 2nd guessing the Garmin...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Orthos Raider S4 (Benelli M4 Clone)

    Well...let me be the first to say...this thing shoots amazing. Haven't done anything to break it in, but I alternated low brass 8 shot with high brass 4 shot and it ran like a champ. BE ADVISED...if you want to shoot and enjoy shooting...the ported barrel SUCKS ASS if you're not gonna wear ear...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold drop on 1/21

    yep, pretty sure that 2-10 isn't gonna be on my "want/need" list at all. I'll just wait for the PLxC 2.5-20 from PrimaryArms

    Is 2025 Year of the MPVO? Two New 2-12s!

    Interesting you say that...I think the first generation XRS 4.5-30 and the ERS 3.5-21 were the best scopes they ever made. The XRS Gen2 was a flop and so far, I don't know if the XRS Gen3 is even as good as the MatchProED (resale would suggest it's not) The LRHS2 had a lot of potential but it...

    Is 2025 Year of the MPVO? Two New 2-12s!

    i was very very very unimpressed with the NX8 turret.

    Is 2025 Year of the MPVO? Two New 2-12s!

    I like that it's got a 34mm tube. NX8 and their mushy turret and 30mm tube was a no-go for me...Sold it a few days after getting one.

    WTB ARCA Bag/Barricade Stop

    I have a grey ops stop I'd let go.

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    I think if I wanted to just kill without worrying about fur, and stay in a relatively short/light weight pkg and still have factory ammo... I'd probably just do like a 16 or 18" 6MAX with a 58 or 80gr pill.

    FOV issues and patents

    So this goes back to my question. 1. Does Nightforce get a pass because its a 30mm tube, or because it's deemed an inferior product or because it's not really worth it for either party to fight over it. 2. And my understanding is that Kahles is a moot point and the 36mm is irrelevant...

    FOV issues and patents

    Stumbled on this with the release of the k540i and got a bit of an eye opener. Didn't know about or realize any of it. Interesting that it's mostly an EU issue i guess. The 6x erector and 34mm tube being the driving factor i assume? Is that why March HighMaster being in Japan does whatever...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Orthos Raider S4 (Benelli M4 Clone)

    took mine out the other day, ran 5 quick high brass through it to see how it patterned at 30 yds. Seemed reasonable enough for a 6 shot rooster load. New years eve, I took it out again and dumped 4 shots fast...alternating between 8 shot low brass dove loads, and 6 shot high brass rooster...

    WTB Tl3 Barrel / 6 creed

    I have an 18" 6 creed, but it's a little on the girthy side.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Orthos Raider S4 (Benelli M4 Clone)

    planning to rip a few rounds off this afternoon actually. I got an "Extra Full" choke I'd like to test

    6.5 Addiction (Swedemoor)

    way too long for the Addiction to fit in a short action...which is the whole point

    anyone else not able to upload pics?

    yeah, been a few days, links to offsite images are good to go but uploading has been down

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Orthos Raider S4 (Benelli M4 Clone)

    Looks like a decent option for sure...I don't quite see why someone cant design one that can/will collapse as compact as the original (Still cant upload pics...can only link to pics already online)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Orthos Raider S4 (Benelli M4 Clone)

    Did a pretty hefty search and hadn't seen any mention of the Orthos Raider S4 yet. I've always wanted the OG Benelli M4 but seeing as how I always end up doing a shit load of mods and customizations anyway, I decided to pull the trigger on the Orthos knowing full well it's not gonna stay bone...
