    Rifle Scopes are nightforce rings worth $31 more than mk4s?

    Re: are nightforce rings worth $31 more than mk4s? I've used just about all the expensive rings and they have all served well. Seekins is what I would suggest if someone asked.

    Shipping of Equipment - Beware !!

    Re: Shipping of Equipment - Beware !! My experience is that UPS ground is much more expensive than FedEx. I have used FedEx exclusively for years and they have never let me down. Once and a while I will check UPS prices against FedEX: they are almost double what FedEx charges. USPS....ya...

    Rifle Scopes Best scope under $2000

    Re: Best scope under $2000 Get a NF 8-32x56 BR scope: $1100 if you shop around. This is the gold standard for competitive scopes and everything you need for F-class. Give EuroOptic a call: good peeps. The 12-42x56 scope will run you another couple hundred, but the 8-32 is what I'd suggest...

    Which precision AR upper?

    Re: Which precision AR upper? White Oak or Compass Lake if accuracy is the concern. Thousands and thousands of top high power shooters can't be wrong. If you want something more tacti-cool, but supremely accurate, order a Krieger barrel/bolt combo from Compass Lake with a Wylde chamber and...

    Personal Protection Ammo Life Span?

    Re: Personal Protection Ammo Life Span? This makes zero sense to me. Are saying the bullet moves when chambering factory crimped ammo? I have not seen this and ammo should be able to last decades without problem.

    Scale Review

    Re: Scale Review If you are looking for a cheap but effective digital scale, the Gempro 250 has excellent reviews: it costs about $150. Any digital scale below this price point is probably junk. You'd be better off using a powder thrower or balance beam scale.

    F T/R Competition Many Shooters Using .223 for F T/R?

    Re: Many Shooters Using .223 for F T/R? out to 600, the 223 is very capable. Just look at the results of any mid-range F-class match and you will see plenty of 223s at the top and on top of the scoreboard.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 20x42 MRAD or Weaver T36

    Re: SWFA 20x42 MRAD or Weaver T36 I own a Weaver T-24 and several NF bench rest scopes...along with a few Leupolds and other NF's. Couple of thoughts: 1. A fixed 36X scope is going to be unusable in bad mirage....I know. The 24x is still useable. I'd only use a variable for 36X because...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Nightforce?

    Re: USO vs Nightforce? You have not really provided enough info for a good reply, but I'll say I am a huge fan of NF. Their QC is beyond reproach: and that is not as common as you might think. Once the "new scope smell" wears off, you want something that is reliable: period. NF is a stand...

    Chronograph for $200 or less

    Re: Chronograph for $200 or less I owned a PVM-21: best chrono on the market for under $1K. Sold it after testing and comparing to a Magneto. Not saying the PVM isn't a great piece of equipment. Just saying the value and convenience of the Magneto hit the sweet spot for me. After testing...

    Geniune Thank You & Kudos to Manners Stocks

    First things first: I'm a picky MoFo. Either something was done well or it sucks. Now for the story. I ordered a Manners MCS-T and decided to put a bedding block in it. Had the company that makes the bedding block do the work. 1 year later, I get an MCS-T that weighs 2.75 lbs and is...

    Best Scope Rings

    Re: Best Scope Rings I've used them all: NF, Badger, Leupold, TPS, Weaver and all are fine. Seekins is the best. They are true in all dimensions always and they have a lot more surface area on the rail. For large scopes, I prefer the seekins fat ring in front and normal ring in the back...

    new gps? opinions

    Re: new gps? opinions I keep it simple with an eTrex 10. My criteria are: 1. Maximum battery life and unit durability 2. quickly provide a coordinate 3. plug in a destination coordinate. That's about it for me and I think some of the more expensive units can create a false sense of...

    My AFFORDABLE Competition Gear (suggestions?)

    Re: My AFFORDABLE Competition Gear (suggestions?) You've got the 300WM,so it makes perfect sense to go use it. However, if you shoot enough comps with it to burn the barrel out, I'm pretty sure you'll be looking for a different cartridge for the next barrel.

    My AFFORDABLE Competition Gear (suggestions?)

    Re: My AFFORDABLE Competition Gear (suggestions?) If you are looking to save money, there are plenty of things you can do: 1. Change out the 300WM for a more economical cartridge. A 243WIN for example would have less recoil, longer barrel life, be cheaper to feed. There are plenty of...

    Stocks: AICS 1.5 -or- Manners M5 DBM

    Re: Stocks: AICS 1.5 -or- Manners M5 DBM AICS are heavy. If you want a lighter (but still not "light") chassis, get the Manners stock in carbon fiber with the mini-chassis. On paper, that meets your requirements. But, there is no substitute for getting behind a rifle and seeing if you like...
