    I am interested in users, or past users of the new Leupold Mk IV 2.5 - 8 x36mm scope with, or without, illumination. I am interested in purchasing the 2.5 - 8x36 scope for one of my AR-10 (T) Carbines in .308. That rifle is used quite a bit in the woods, on my quad in Marijuana grow country...

    .223 SUB sonic loadings?

    Rifle Scopes LEICA KUDOS customer Service - Repair

    I have to compliment LEICA for their customer support. I dropped my LEICA CRF1200 Rangefinder hunting last fall. The internal lense that reflects the distance readout moved, or broke. It was about 5 years old, well used with tree sap on it. It was used quite a bit. A few weeks ago I sent it...

    Shooting bags filler media?

    I used to use sand, ultra fine white to coarse grit. Now that lead shot is $30 a pound, what clever filling media have you found that works well with shooting bags? (Canvas and Nylon lead sled bags) I have been looking at some kind of dense bean or grain at the health food store. Since a Sh!tbag...

    Good day fellow shooters. I have been reloading for over 20 years but mostly for hunting applications and a few target applications. My most recent project is necking down .300 WSM brass to make 7mm WSM using Norma brass. I have never necked down, or "wildcatted" a cartridge so I have a few...

    Rifle Scopes Internal Bubble Anti Cant on Scopes?

    Can somebody in the optics industry tell me why scopemakers are not making internal anti-cant bubbles in their scopes? I have an older Springfield Armory scope on my AR-10 (TU) that has the internal Anti-Cant bubble. It is circa year 2000 when they still made good scopes, and the optical...
