    In need of new set of binos

    Have been using the Zeiss 8X42 T FL for a few years now and still really like them. That being said while at a match last year Scott from Vortex was on my squad and had a set of the Vortex Razors in 8X42 as I recall. Asked if I could look through them and when he saw my Zeiss said "I think...

    22 lr beyond 100

    Have shot some really nice groups at 200 yd. using Eley Subsonic hollowpoint (3/4 moa) about the same at 250 yd. past that it gets iffy. 300 yd. groups open up to 2 moa, might string 3 or 4 shots into 1-2 moa but seem to always throw 1 or 2 out of the group. Have weight sorted which helps some...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best .22 pistol to run a suppressor on?

    Amen, Even if they do run accuracy sucks. Ruger SR22 is nice for a compact pistol. Ruger MK II or III with the Tac Sol pack lite upper is my fav (it's had some custom work done). Very accurate, runs as close to perfect as any 22 can, ammo without primer compound won't run in any pistol (Rem...

    Rifle Scopes Lets talk about ACOGS

    Have always run my TA01NSN on a 20" upper and get sub moa groups with 69gr. SMK handloads. Have shot it out past 800 yards with 77gr. SMK loads and got consistent hits on IPSC steel at those ranges. Some of the original 3 gun matches mandated that you run a "military optic" so you pretty much...

    Manners T4-A vs T2-A for Competition

    Well not a Manners T5 but a McMillan A5 which is very similar, Manners MCS-TA, T6-A, and three T-2A stocks. The angled butt stock is why I went with the Manners stocks. Makes elevation adjustments super easy and with rabbit ear rear bag very stable. You can set the rifle up on target and get up...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce v US Optics

    Have both scopes, my USO's are a few years old with the ERGO parallax adj. which I prefer over the dial type. To my eyes the NF has the better glass not by a lot but discernible. Have several USO's and have never had an issue with dialing correctly, that is one of the reasons I run them. Just...

    100 yard home range?

    Built a berm several years ago, got the dirt from cleaning out road ditches around the farm. It is only 25 ft. wide by 8-9 ft. tall. Took over 100 loader buckets @ 1/2 yd. each to get enough. I've added dirt 4 times to widen and keep height where it needs to be. Spray it with a selective long...

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    Have run a 6 mm RAT since it was developed and is one upper I'll always have, spare barrel is on the shelf ready to go. It is a 22" 1 in 7.5 twist, mostly shoot 105 Amax with some 87 gr. V-max. Running the 105's at 2750 fps and the 87's at 3000 fps. 105's go subsonic at 1100 yd. I've shot...

    Night Vision New FLIR -The RS Dedicated Thermal Weapon Scope- 60mm units just arrived!

    Finally got the skunk that has been lurking around the farm the past month or so. Came across an open field headed for a hedge row, when he got in range hammered on him with the 22, first shot must have been to the head (where I was aiming) as no stink. Was using the instalert 1 and picked him...

    Night Vision New FLIR -The RS Dedicated Thermal Weapon Scope- 60mm units just arrived!

    Got my first varmint with the RS-64-35mm, walked around the yard just getting used to running stuff in the dark (really not very dark with a full moon). While just scanning from the patio it picked up an Opossum over 200 yd. away maybe 250 coming up the hedge to eat cat food. Kept trying to pick...

    Night Vision New FLIR -The RS Dedicated Thermal Weapon Scope- 60mm units just arrived!

    Got mine today, would have had it Saturday but was gone to a match. Having read and kept up with this thread it was pretty easy to set the RS-64 up. I did read all through the manual while it was charging. For the time being it will be on a 22LR upper so I can rid myself of some skunks and...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG BDC measurments

    Good info, nice of you to share. Did the same with a TA01NSN shooting 77 gr. SMK, actually works out to 800 yd. for that model. Knowing your gear will keep you upright.

    Fav protein shake recipe?

    Been on a 5-2 diet also called the fast diet for almost a year now. Men are allowed 600 cal. per fasting day woman 500. Normal week I'll fast on Monday and Thursday and have a couple of protein shakes one in the morning one that evening. Has worked well for me and is easy to deal with. My...

    Yeti VS. Pelican

    Got a Brute 50 qt. this year, made in U.S. Like the handles both molded and rope, divider is nice also. The dry goods tray is not worth what it cost but the rest is all good.

    F T/R Competition How many are using prepped lc brass for 308 ftr?

    Started out using LC 84 for F-class, had good results but changed over to Lapua when I got a bit more serious. Well that didn't work out for me, never did find a good load even after fireforming. Went back to the LC with consistant good results. Probably should sell the Lapua brass as I won't be...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 5-25x56

    I can send you a list of complaints about the S&B turret marks. Go to a PRS match and listen to competitors, some have marked out every other line as suggested above. My Steiner turrets sure aren't the "exact same design" that is why I'm so upset with them.

    Night Vision New FLIR -The RS Dedicated Thermal Weapon Scope- 60mm units just arrived!

    RS-32, 4-16 $7,499.00 320X340, 60mm RS-64, 1.1-9 $6,499.00 640X480, 35mm These are the two I'm interested in for use on hogs and yotes, maybe a coon or 12. Am I better off with the 60 mm or the 640X480 with the 35mm. Which will give the best image, and video?

    Rifle Scopes Premier LT, Nightforce, Kahles, Steiner

    Have used and owned all the scope brands and currently using the NF F1 and the Premier LT. Premier has better glass, dials consistently, and is a little lighter. NF has more adjustment (over twice the LT) the turrets have better dedents and are easier to grasp. Glass is very good just not as...

    Time to bring this up again, still want to get this issue resolved!

    Night Vision New FLIR -The RS Dedicated Thermal Weapon Scope- 60mm units just arrived!

    "The R-Series runs off an internal, rechargeable battery that provides about 4.5 hours of constant operation from a single charge. This helps to reduce the overall weight, size, and cost of the scope." So this internal battery is it replaceable in the field or does it have to be sent in...
