    Anyone know of a Throw Lever that fits the Nightforce ATACR?

    Get a Charlie Drissel Cat Tail for the NF NXS Full Size Model, then get 1/4" hex head screws from the local hardware store to replace the shorter screws that comes with the Cat Tail. There will be a small gap on each side, but it is not noticeable. I just did this for a new ATACR & it works...

    Remington vssf

    I have had a few 700 VSSF's & currently have a .223 & .308, as well as a .204 VSSF II (H-S stock has wider fore-end, palm swells & the flute channels are black), I like them for their accuracy, stainless steel construction and that old-time "slick as glass" feeling bolt, which I don't get with...

    Swarovski 8x30 Rangefinder Problem

    Lynn from Swarovski said they would honor the lifetime warranty, even if they were no longer in production. Sending mine in today, bought another as a back-up.

    Project Appleseed

    Great program! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to take my grandkids as they get old enough. I qualified the first day, but didn't realize it and attended both days. At one point they pair you up with the person beside you to watch for blinking/flinching, my partner happened to be an 11 yr. old boy...

    Swarovski 8x30 Rangefinder Problem

    Thanks Flyrodder, I believe I'll do just that. Bought this one new from Cabelas way less than a year ago. It would save me buying another RF just for the rest of this season.

    Swarovski 8x30 Rangefinder Problem

    Hog Wild, Thanks for sharing, hope mine turns out as well. I would buy another one as back-up as I really like it, but with them being discontinued, I wonder how long they will service them?

    Swarovski 8x30 Rangefinder Problem

    Heard back from Swaro customer service Will need to send it in to be sent to Austria for repair w/ at least an 8 week turn-around time. Sounds like I need a back-up, probably a Leica 1600.

    Rifle Scopes Does anyone make ring insets to convert 34 mm. rings to a 30 mm. scope?

    BLDTYLRY, Thanks for the link to Europtic, they are currently backordered on the Desert Tactical reducers, but they look like the way to go @ $29.40 vs Badger O. at $65.00 although I shouldn't ask for input (thanks also, Hairball) then whine about cost! Larue suggested Midway or PRI, Which...

    Rifle Scopes Does anyone make ring insets to convert 34 mm. rings to a 30 mm. scope?

    I have an extra couple of Larue 34 mm ring/mounts & thought I might use them with a 30 mm. scope if anyone made reducer inserts. I am familiar with Larue & PRI's 300 mm. to 1" inserts, but haven't found any larger ones. May have to just sell the 34's & get a 30 mm. mount. Thanks for any help.

    Swarovski 8x30 Rangefinder Problem

    Arrived at a recent prairie dog hunt to find my 8x30's inoperable. The button was down and would not come back up. Put in a new battery to no avail. Been waiting a few days for Swaro customer service to respond. They traveled in their custom padded case in my range bag on top of other equipment...

    Want a Jewell trigger for a Rem. 204 VSSF

    Thanks, I'll check it out. I removed the barreled action from the stock and found a regular Remington trigger. I will adjust it & give it a try, but expect to order the Jewell.

    Want a Jewell trigger for a Rem. 204 VSSF

    Just got a Rem. 700 VSSFII in .204 for another prairie dog rifle. Trigger is way too heavy with no apparent adjustment screw. Thought I would replace it with a Jewell, but can't find a source. Brownell's, Midway & Scotty's are all backordered. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Suggestions for a .17 MHR Semi-auto

    Actually, I really like my CZ. I can work the bolt w/o losing my next PD in the scope & it is spot-on accurate. Some 10 round mags will help. When I checked Alexander Arms .17 HMR uppers on their web site they were $715, vs. the $1399 BIN price on GB. I assume the waiting time is the difference...

    Suggestions for a .17 MHR Semi-auto

    I'm watching a couple of Alexander Arms uppers now on GB. Probably just get some more magazines for my CZ! Thanks for the help!

    Suggestions for a .17 MHR Semi-auto

    I have a CZ 452 .17 HMR Varmint that I recently put to good use on a prairie dog hunt. The landowner was encouraging as close to an eradication as I could get. Question: A semi-auto .17 HMR would have been great in this situation & I am looking for some suggestions. I know there are some Ruger...

    RRA LAR-8 Predator HP Range Report - Sub 1/2" 3-shot Groups @ 100 yards.

    My LAR-8 with 20" standard barrel shot 0.5" - 5 shot groups right out of the box with 150 gr. factory ammo. I have since acquired a 26" Varmint upper that I haven't shot yet, but hope for some LR prairie dog hits in it's future. I have RRA's .243 PP upper & still tweaking it to get it below an...

    Anyone familiar with the Swarovski STM 65 20-60 spotting scope?

    One of our local big box stores has the above mentioned scope marked down to $1299 from $1799. I assume they are clearing inventory to make way for the new HD version of the same scope. I would like to upgrade from a Leupold 15-45. The spotter would be used for prairie dog hunting and spotting...
