    Sig Kilo 3000 vs Vortex Fury 5000 AB

    I know these threads pop up all the time. I've been reading a lot of them and reviews on both of these rangefinder binoculars. Most of the threads focus on the Sig kilo 3000 vs the standard vortex fury (non-ab) because of the comparable price. EuroOptic has a deal right now where the Kilo 3000...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3-12

    I have the opportunity to purchase a lightly used Bushnell elite 3-12 for under $500. Is this scope still a good buy despite being discontinued and a bit dated? I’ve shot Bushnell elites before and was impressed with the glass quality and the overall build. From old reviews it seems that the ffp...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark3HD 4-12

    So I’ve been researching optics to top a 223 bolt gun and this Leupold mark3 4-12 has caught my eye. I’m looking to spend no more than $500 and would like a decent scope that will maximize the 223’s potential. I definitely don’t want a Chinese scope as I’ll probably use this rifle for hunting in...

    Defiance AnTi Ring Size?

    So I'm putting together a lightweight hunting rifle and am going to be picking up a set of NF ultralite rings for it. As you can see below, it is an AnTi with the factory pic rail. I threw a NF NXS 3.5-15 on it with a Larue LT104 mount that I robbed from another rifle. This mount is a 1.5"...

    Cheap amazon headspace gauges: ZPV?

    I'm looking to pick up a set of headspace gauges for a 6.5 creedmoor. I saw these ones on Amazon and they look ok. I just need them to verify headspace on a pre fit barrel. Wondering if anyone has experience with them? They say made in Serbia.

    Should 30 TC make a comeback?

    So I’ve been thinking of what cartridge to chamber my new rifle in. Right now there is a new .308 proof carbon barrel on it. I want to replace that barrel with a 6.5 creed barrel or 6.5 PRC (if I can source a magnum bolt for it). I have been going back about just keeping the .308 barrel on it...

    Defiance AnTi guidance

    Looking for guidance on the defiance AnTi. I recently bought a rifle in 308 on an AnTi short action. I will likely keep it with this barrel for a while and may buy a 6.5 creed prefit. I would rather get a 6.5 prc barrel though. From my understanding, the only thing required to swap to 6.5 prc...
