    Range Report Horus Atrag: Kestrel vs. PDA ???

    I snagged a Horus setup with the Trimble Recon and CF software at a gun show for a good price (< 700) and I also have a Kestrel with the Horus software. The PDA is definitely easier to use. The Kestrel works, but entering data is a bit arcane and takes some practice, and it takes much...

    Suppressors Sending in Assignment of Property document w/ form 4 application?

    My trust paperwork says you send an assignment with the form 4 but you ONLY list the NEW item(s) you're adding with THAT form 4, don't send them a cumulative assignment form showing all previously assigned items, it's neither necessary nor desirable. The purpose of the assignment form is to...

    Rifle Scopes Stuck Windage Turret on USO scope.

    Installed a used USO scope on my LaRue OBR the other day and tried to sight in, but had a lot of trouble. Wasn't sure if it was the scope so I tried re-centering the reticle. Got the elevation set but when I tried to run the windage full left to count turns it jammed and I cannot move the knob...

    Rifle Scopes Is Horus stands for "horrible"?

    Good idea but yes, I find Horus reticles too "busy." Too much time counting down and over that could just be put on the turrets, and when I miss and shoot a follow-up shot I don't have any problem holding off to correct. It is nice to have fine, clear divisions on the crosshairs and a few...

    Transporting rifle / gear on a motorcycle

    This is specifically why I bought two rifles: One is a FN FS2000 which is short enough to put in the Rollie bag that sits behind me when I'm touring, and the other is a Nemisis take-down in .308 that fits nicely into a low-profile generic rucksack. The former I can carry anywhere in the US...

    Call 'em up and ask them if it's built for NV use.

    Night Vision LaRue Tactical won't sell to civilians

    Sixteen inch barrel. And if I need to reach out past 1K I generally try to use my Sako TRG-42 in .339 Lapua Magnum. Maybe I'll try a mile shot with the OBR one of these days and get back to you...with the video. Be an interesting test.

    Night Vision What illuminator is close to the performance of a PEQ-15?

    Take a look at the Luna Optics Extended Range IR Illuminator. It's really good.

    Night Vision Red or Blue?

    NVGs are least sensitive to blue light, which is why blue is the color of choice for in-vehicle lighting these days, rather than red. You're far less likely to burn a tube with blue lights. That being said, I've never seen an EoTech with a blue reticle, and any advanced NV capable Eotech I've...

    Night Vision DBAL A2 (AN/PEQ 15A) questions

    The Laser Devices DBAL D2 has the same IR laser power as the PEQ15 on "low" setting. All that's missing is the high laser setting, which most people don't need or use anyway because it causes excessive bloom in your NVGs. The high position is usually used for target marking at long range, not...

    Range Report Anybody heard of "dispersing" .308 MG ammo?

    This one sure is. So I don't sound like a total noob, the box he showed me when I bought the stuff WAS Lake City ammo, I checked the headstamp. It appears he switched that box out and I didn't check all the other 13 boxes. My bad. Next time I'll check every freaking round if I have to...

    Night Vision LaRue Tactical won't sell to civilians

    Well, I dunno about a mile, but the two times I've shot my new LaRue OBR .308 at 1000 yards it's been dead accurate. I'm very, very impressed with it. It's at least as accurate as my Armalite AR-10T, which shoots inside .5 MOA at 1000 yards. As for his Picatinny rail stuff, I've got a SPOTR...

    Night Vision LaRue Tactical won't sell to civilians

    It's the polite way of saying "We don't need you as a customer, now eff off." That, or in some cases it's because the lawyers told them to to limit "liability." When I bought my Hummer in 94, I could call up the engineering department at the factory and talk to the engineer who designed the...

    Range Report Anybody heard of "dispersing" .308 MG ammo?

    So, I go to Knob Creek in April for the machine gun shoot and find a seller with a pallet of "NATO .308/7.62 147gr. ball" ammo for $180 per 200 round box. Since I haven't been able to find ANY ammo for my .308 of late I bought $3500 worth of this ammo, which was advertised as "Lake City"...

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    The key is "when there is probable cause." Mere possession of an NFA device that is not prohibited by state law (ie: not permitted or must be registered) is NOT probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion of a criminal act, therefore a law enforcement officer does NOT have authority to demand...

    Night Vision Colorado Freedom Shoot - June 29th & 30th

    Get 'em while you can! This shoot is important because it's the LAST shoot (at least until the law is repealed or overturned) where one can acquire magazines that can carry, OR BE ADAPTED TO CARRY more than 15 rounds in Colorado. As of July 1, 2013, the day after the shoot, it will be a...
