    Is this cheating? Or lazy? Or insulting?

    In military applications it has tremendous value. Consider it mounted on top of a .338 or .50. Imagine you are no longer shooting at personnel on the ground, but drones and aircraft. You have a weapon system now that can adjust for movement, angle, target speed, etc. Now a soldier on the ground...

    New AI rifles...what do you think...will they set a new trend, follow some others???

    I'm guessing change barrels, ability to swap stock styles from pistol grip and possibly thumb hole to a more traditional stock style. I suspect integrated picatinny on the action. A new bipod style to replace the Parker Hale version. AX style trigger with similar adjustments. Probably double...

    Gun Safes: how to select and why.

    I still stand by my comments on gun safes I made four years ago on this site: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/s4-sniper%92s-hide%AE-equipment/26665-best-gun-safe.html#post384528 I re-post these comments here because there is so much bad information on the internet about safes. Most gun...

    Gun Safes: how to select and why.

    External hinges on virtually all safes are only there to keep the door from falling on your foot when opened. They do not have anything to do with security. And frankly, the only time I've seen internal hinges on gun safes is for the low end stuff. Bolts on one side are fine if the safe is...

    Rifle Scopes Quick March 3-24x42 Review

    My initial review of a March 3-24x42 I have on my hunting rig: - The scope size is excellent. Compact, low turrets, and low weight. This is a nice relief from tactical scopes that are very big, bulky, heavy and getting worse in all three of those areas. - Magnification range from 3-24 is...

    Hearing protection?

    I also use foam plugs and high rated NRR 26db peltor tactical pro muffs. A big problem with reusable plugs is quality of fit. Plus an audiologist warned me of risk of ear infection by jamming a dirty plug into your ear canal over and over again. With foam plugs you use them once and throw them...

    Rangefinder Binoculars Field Tests & Review

    I've been quite happy with my Bushnell 1 Mile ARCs. Glass has been fine for the purpose and the range finder is quite good. Even the built in ballistics computer is pretty decent out to about 800 yards. Even at 1000 yards I wouldn't want to be standing downrange of someone ranging me with it and...

    Rifle Scopes March 5x-40x56mm possible redesign, your opinion needed

    0.1 mils per click/10mrad as others stated. 0.05 is an F-Class feature. Even at long ranges I've always felt 0.1mils was fine for shooting steel. Also I'd like to see the windage knob limited in movement. Perhaps it only allows 5-6 mils each direction L/R before hitting a stop. As it is now...

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    Hard to go wrong with that setup!

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    My guess as to why they are not doing it on the AE and perhaps other models in the future: 1) Maybe it's just cheaper for them not to do it in terms of manufacturing/labor costs. 2) It's more flexible as it allows that action to be easily moved into different stock configurations because it is...

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    If the action is screwed and bonded to the chassis it won't come loose. I've seen other maker actions come loose in the stock and cause problems. It's not a big issue, but it happens. There is no need to check action bolts on the AW chassis. The only thing I check on the AW are the scope rings...

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    The AX has a large amount of accessory rail space on the foregrip and a pistol grip. The AW has less accessory space without add-ons to the weapon. If you are using NV gear the AX will likely be easier to mount it. The AW and AE have the spigot mount for a bipod. The AX you need to mount a...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24x42 Owners - Long-Term Reports?

    Ugly stuff! Happy to hear the scope worked. I have been told March Scopes use no plastic components inside the scope so perhaps that helped it to survive. But it is a good piece of marketing by March to have that story... Re: 5-40 Thanks for the input on the 0.05mils. Definitely good for...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24x42 Owners - Long-Term Reports?

    Thanks for the input. That's very useful. I like the direction they have gone with light weight, low profile for long range precision rifle use.

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24x42 Owners - Long-Term Reports?

    I have used the search, I have read the reviews, now it's time for some long-term follow-ups from March 3-24x42 users. I am thinking of getting this scope for the lighter weight and smaller profile. This will be for a long range rifle for competition and general use out to 1000+ yards and...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Military/Tactical Scope is there a difference between them ??

    Set your windage and you have 4.7-5 mils each direction if I recall (I made a typo with the 6 mils). The newer scope may have more windage.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Military/Tactical Scope is there a difference between them ??

    The 4-16 has a button the pops out on the bottom of the elevation dial to indicate second revolution has been reached (it is tactile so you can reach up and feel it without needing to look). There are 10mils per rev so on a .308 you'll only hit it if you are near 1000 yards in most cases. All...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Military/Tactical Scope is there a difference between them ??

    I have a Steiner 4-16 and NightForce F1. The glass on the Steiner is definitely better. Build quality feels very similar. The external illumination adjustment on the Steiner is nice. The length of the Steiner optically is an advantage over shorter scopes which means it likely will have better...

    Winter Shooting Sako TRG-22 and Observations on Gear

    I think shooters could learn a lot about their gear by just throwing it into their freezers overnight and seeing what happens. It's harder to do with a full rifle, but all accessories, etc. can be tested this way and it may be very eye opening what happens to it when it's not a pleasant 70...
