    Rifle Scopes ATACR vs S&B PMII 5-25

    ^^This is what I have been thinking since seeing the pics/specs on the beast^^. The biggest draw to NF for me was the NXS line. The glass might be less than a Premier or S&B, but for daytime range shooting and any hunting application I would ever find myself in the 5.5-22 excels. And does it...

    Rifle Scopes My inexpensive way of leveling scopes when mounted. (with pics)

    I am a bit confused by this seemingly over-complicated process. This is not a bash, but rather a bit of possible ignorance on my part. My brain is thinking these thoughts: Even if I used the OP method, what purpose does the level serve on top of the turret? If I level the rifle, then adjust to...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold vs. Nightforce

    I have used the mark 4 and the NF NXS side by side, my thoughts: Leupold has better glass. But every one I have seen had a mil reticle and MOA adjustments. That's a no-go for me ​(but may be just fine for someone else). NF NXS has slightly less quality glass. But the turrets match the reticle...

    WTF is up with this Apple iOS 7 update?

    The battery drain can be more severe, depending which apps you run. When you upgraded to ios 7, basically all your apps are now using "location services". Go to system settings and enable the location icon to see when this is being done, and disable any apps that don't need it. Also in system...

    Kenyans are rocking SCARs with Eotechs ???!!!

    That may be a file photo, but I watched live footage on Sky news (I love apple tv btw) and they were all over that mall in long sleeves with same Scars and what appeared to be M4s, one for sure running a Sopmod stock. I am sure we paid for them, and I wish them the best hunting when it comes to aq.

    What packs are people running for thier bugout bags?

    I am still in "test" mode, but I have a Mystery Ranch Metcalf that has so far impressed the shit otta me. It is the lightest Nice Frame pack they make, at just under 7 lbs. The NF system is the most comfortable I have tried, and the Metcalf is a big, basic design, with a side zipper access to...

    Genesis CNC AR-10a 80% Build

    Looks great, very nice work! I wonder if the fit would tighten up if you had it anodized? A friend and I are about to embark on the 80% journey and are doing some research now.

    Yeti coolers - who has 'em?

    With all due respect, your opinion now mirrors my original post. Don't take this as argumentative, I am just trying to clarify my opinion. As I stated originally, "There is no comparison when it comes to construction",and I still use the coolers today, so I feel my opinion is informed. I also...

    Yeti coolers - who has 'em?

    I guess, but I will be happy to replicate the same results, I have this exact $300 Yeti (a 45): and this exact $40 coleman (a 36qt, also have a 75~): And I will fill them full of ice for a day, drain them and refill with fresh ice in a now pre-chilled cooler and the coleman will outlast the...

    Surprising Results with Suppressed LMT and M118 LR...

    I have had fluctuating results with M118 in my LMT. Some boxes have shot very well, sub-MOA with ES in a 10 shot string just over 20fps, and some boxes will shoot just over MOA with velocities ranging from 2470 to 2580 in a single 10-shot string. I hope your results stay consistent, but in my...

    Yeti coolers - who has 'em?

    I have a couple of yetis, and use them pretty much daily for the last 3 years. Tough? Absolutely. Better than Engel? Not really. But still good. Mine get opened about 20 times a day, 200 days a year on average. The lid seals have held up great, the rubber closures have been replaced twice and...

    Reseating pulled bullets, brass tension same?

    i have a redding comp neck sizer but only have a 333 bushing, I FL size everything so I didn't wanna go through ordering a bushing, but now it seems like a good idea. How would one go about matching a bushing size to my FL sizer die? Measure OD of neck after FL sizing and subtract a thou or 2...

    Reseating pulled bullets, brass tension same?

    Thanks for the replies-this is once fired FL sized brass. I have several rounds loaded up right around the scatter node and was gonna pull and recharge them. I guess it couldn't hurt to run them through the FL sizer before I throw a charge in them as I don't have the decapping rod in the sizer...

    Reseating pulled bullets, brass tension same?

    Just another dumb question, after pulling some reloads with a kinetic puller, will there be any difference in neck tension when reseating the new round? I am particularly concerned with doing this with brass that I am working a load up for a rifle with. I do not want to affect the results on...

    I have a american shooters edge bag, dunno if it is a natural born 'merican or a damn immigrant. American Shooters Edge Range Bag - Soldier Systems I do know this, I have managed to cram more shit in that thing then I would ever need in a day at the range. That's the problem, I weighed the thing...

    M118LR pulled and measured

    Interesting to note, I have a Hornady comparitor, and my '12 M118 measures 2.243 to ogive. 2.819 oal though, so I am assuming this is a difference in comparators, just a fyi for anyone using different tools.

    308 pmags at Midway!

    I am sure for some things it's good, but 22lr ammo and primers I can be sitting at my computer on my email and get the notification and it will be already out. I tried using another email server but same result. Stuff like (unloaded)bullets and gunsmith tools it works good for me, but it would...
