    Night Vision Anyone have an ANPEQ plus a light setup on their carbine/rifle?

    Wilcox Raptor, been looking into it for the range finding capability. PEQ on top as far forward as possible with the pressure pads in the gap between the top and side rails. The x300 ultra is great but it looks like it's in between the BC 04 and 02A sizes. You could always mount the white...

    The Case of the PredatAR **please help**

    My comment was to address the irony and not your integrity. I should have been more clear and I'm sorry If you felt I was trying to clip you. Not to defend them in any way or to direct this at anyone participating here but.....you have to imagine that with a popular brand like that there are...

    The Case of the PredatAR **please help**

    Why don't you just send them the images showing the overlay of all the 3 shot groups and kindly ask them to explain this phenomenon? It's too bad you posted all this here since nobody is going to want to purchase a 2nd hand rifle that can't shoot>>>>>>>>>>

    Tripod Shooting- Saddles vs Clamps

    cameralandny.com is a hide vendor and carries them. Don't forget to order some extra 200pl quick release plates if you get a manfrotto head. This way you can put one on your hog and another on anything else you may want to attach to it. Doesn't look like they are offering any rebates at this...

    First Time Shooting Precision Semi-Auto Rifle Results

    OK, I read the whole thing and am glad you've eliminated most of the variation. One thing a couple guys brought up but wasn't thoroughly covered was how to properly use a variable power magnified optic that has a parallax adjustment. Given your experience up to now doesn't seem to have...

    Tripod Shooting- Saddles vs Clamps

    I use a manfrotto 190CXPRO3 tripod with the Q90 feature and 322rc2 joystick with the hog or LaRue mount when hunting coyote at night with the freedom to stand or kneel at a set. We are mainly in open areas like corn or soybean fields or along tree lines boardering these fields. It's dark and...

    Night Vision PS32 or Thermal Eye X50 debate

    A good question for FLIR would be, IF you get to a point where the battery is no longer taking/holding a charge, will they replace the internal battery and if so, how much as that wouldn't be covered? The only other way to get around it is to spend more on their H series which has replaceable...

    Tripod picattiny lever mount

    LaRue Tactical Tripod Adapter Mount QD | LaRue Tactical You have quite the lever working on your bipod rail mount there. I find the rail adapters good when the rifle has a rail that starts at the front of the mag well. For rifles without that, I use the HOG saddle. Shadow just started making...

    Value of Vectronix VECTOR VIPER II laser rangefinding binos???

    Seems like you know how much to ask since your ebay auction is starting at 3000 with no bids so far and buy it now for 8500? What is it you really want to know? I would like to know what you paid for them?

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    I use the 322rc2 and since I'm a righty I loosen the grip screws and rotate it 180 degrees and reorient the QD shoe mount to the other side then put the grip on the left. This way I can adjust the position with my left hand and keep my right hand on/near the trigger.

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    Got mine today. While not on par with the HOG, I wouldn't hesitate to use this vs the HOG for any of my hunting/precision shooting needs. But from now on this is the new loaner vs my extra HOG. Nicely done!

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    Wise move, I doubt you will regret it. If it's half as good as the HOG you'll be knee deep in orders. May have to get one for friends who like to borrow. In fact I'm going to email this to a couple guys always asking me to bring my backup HOG coyote hunting...... Thanks,

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    Oh I was done with Midway when they did away with making a purchase as a guest. Now you have to register for an account to buy anything. I told the rep to tell Larry to piss off.

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    Well put ammunitiondepot on your list too. I ordered some magazines and ammo cans on Monday. Wednesday I get an email saying I need to send them my IL FOID card(which is only required for ammo and firearms). I call them and the rep tells me that with all the new laws being passed they just...

    Best bang for the buck air rifle?

    You have to ask yourself if you want long range accuracy or convenience? PCP = long range accuracy PERIOD. PCP's are great because you can adjust the power(not all allow this) to infinite settings allowing you to find the power that is best for the pellet you select. Yes, each pellet will...

    Best bang for the buck air rifle?

    If money isn't an issue and hunting is the primary use then I suggest EdGun Matador either .22 or .25 long. If I had to pick 1 I would take .25. Either way I would shoot JSB ExactJumbo Heavy(18.1) in .22 & Exact King(25.4) in .25 pellets for the best accuracy out to 100 yards. They are PCP...

    Magpul ubr

    The UBR is slightly longer collapsed or extended, weighs a pound more and doesn't allow for the cheek risers like the MOE if you're using that option already. It is fixed stock solid. Going to cast about $215 from a hide vendor. These thing are so much preference related I would recommend...
