    Rangefinder Recommendations...

    I may be mistaken but... I'm pretty sure the beam divergence on the Arc Fusions is a fairly large 2x4 mils. I've found that figure several places. Either way, regardless of having a larger divergence than Terrapin, Zeiss and Swaro, they still work very well. The most discerning may require a...

    Your Dremel: Model, Use, Tips, Tricks, Cautions etc...

    An incredibly versatile tool... and great addition to the workbench. Although certainly not heavy duty, its nice to have around when small amounts of material need to removed, shaped or polish. Part of my interest in writing this was to make a place where recommended additions (perhaps a 3rd...

    Rifle Scopes If not Larue what QD scope mounts hold zero?

    Bobro makes a well machined mount. They are rebranded for Trijicon as well. Very good quality in my opinion. I'm pretty certain they are well available. Not the nicest looking but GG&G claims return to < 1/2 moa and they are very fairly priced if that's an issue. If your looking for a...

    Rangefinder Recommendations...

    I'm also going to suggest the Fusion Binos... If you can get a good price on the 1 mile version even better. Ive had the 12x50 fusions for a while now and am very happy. Its nice having the combo. It also incorporates hold overs in moa or inches and an angle range compensator. It has several...

    Got my AR15, now what?!

    In my opinion the most noteworthy add on/upgrade/accessories are: 1) Trigger- purchasing the hi speed Geissele match trigger is some of the best money I've spent. The amount adjustability is incredible. Geissele has a great line of fixed triggers as well. 2) Free Floating handguard. Troy and...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon ED-82/Manfrotto: Spotter

    I'm very happy with it. It certainly says something when a product from a decade ago can still compete so well. They can be found significantly less expensive but many places are listing $1,600- $1,900. I've seen prices change over the years and it seems to fluctuate (less expensive several...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon ED-82/Manfrotto: Spotter

    Unfortunately no targets yet but I took some shots to see how it would fare at distance. Brought my handy Bushnell 12x Fusion Binos. The pics were taken with the phone camera free hand... so... Will get some targets up soon to replace these Looking forward to the 75x eyepiece. Here's...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon ED-82/Manfrotto: Spotter

    Thanks Rick,I agree with you, changing to a Manfrotto makes a tremendous difference. I've been really happy with this so far. The scope is phenomenal and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire package. Nikon really made a place to stay with this one. I'm eagerly awaiting the higher...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron 10-50X60 line of scopes

    Unless you absolutely need the extra 18x I would consider the 8-32x56mm. It's an excellent scope but quite large and heavy as it is. I have considered purchasing the 10-50 afterwards, but not from feeling lack of power, more just an addition. The picture does start to fade after the mid 20x's...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon ED-82/Manfrotto: Spotter

    So, just yesterday I became the beneficiary of some new and exciting glass. New for me anyways, it's actually been around for 10 years now but from my research has stood the test of time quite well. I'm referring to Nikon's Fieldscope ED 82, it is quite the behemoth. The shear size makes my...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Competition <~> March Benchrest

    HD1911, Are you referring to the new Nightforce Competition 15-55x or the older BR models (8-32 12-48) with AO? If the March BR were not up to the original NF Benchrest models that would be quite disappointing. Especially since they are nearly twice their price. Was it specifically the glass...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Competition <~> March Benchrest

    Sib1948, Russ Hardy, Thanks for your responses. Couple questions: Does the glass or other parts of the scope vary in quality on the March between the BR and tactical line? Nightforce: I heard the glass was improved on a bit, I had no idea it was thay significant. Is this the same glass they...

    Rifle Scopes Some scope makers refuse to disclose their source of glass & who polishes it: Why

    Thats not surprising, scope manufacturers keep many trade secrets, . Ive heard some disclose what specifications they have for certain models as far as light transmission per lens or small insignificant figures regarding their standards...Ive heard as much as their acceptable scale with a lens...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Competition <~> March Benchrest

    Two of the best in class I can think of. If you were in the market for this magnification which would you buy? I started a thread a short while ago asking for opinions/experience with a line of high magnification scopes.After giving some thought, I've decided to go a little over the budget I...

    Rifle Scopes Brobo Mount

    The Bobro mount is an example of excellent engineering and machining as far as I'm concerned. In person, everything about it exudes quality, I've never heard any issues with them in regards to RTZ or issues issues with the rail. On the contrary, I believe it's specifically designed to be able to...

    Rifle Scopes Astigmatism Test: Check Your Eyes in this Thread (Tips, Charts, etc...)

    There are a few options, 1) Glasses with cylindrical correction 2) Gas permeable Toric lenses 3) Surgery I made an appointment with a local ophthalmologist who did the standard tests and wrote the prescription. Took that to optometrist where I purchased glasses with HD lenses, anti glare...

    Here's another couple images. Again, remember to step away from your display. Everyone's distance may vary and part of that will also be dependent on your regular visual acuity. If you are using a tablet, arms length is too close. You shouldn't be able to read the writing from this post. Step...
