    Optics Like new swarovski z5 5-25x52 BT price dropped

    Does the turret go around two revolutions, or is it limited to one and about 400 yards? Thanks for responding. I would love this if it can get me out to 800 yards%

    History of the SR25

    A group of friends I was with (all Active Duty or Air National Guard Pilots) bought 10 of the first ones at SHOT 94' in Dallas. Reed Knight offered us the same version that he made for the first OT&E he was sending to Ft. Bragg. They all had Remington 5R barrels with the KMC suppressor mount...

    Preferred penetrating lubricant?

    I had a broken distributer advance on my 79' Ford Bronco. The magnesium housing was seized into the cast iron block on my 351 Windsor engine. After trying everything except drilling it out, a mechanic I used to hunt with, and knew from working on my aircraft at Northwest Airlines , told me about...

    We don’t deserve such men

    13. More. Into the breech. What a devastating waste of the best among us. These American sons, MARSOC warriors and a Navy Corpsman. Thrust into a horrible situation to do a hopelessly unsupportable mission, led by people who have described such warriors as a threat to our society, and whom need...

    Looking for a spring for a 1 inch tube Unertl scope

    I have a 20X Unertl 1 1/2” with the spring, and a Fecker without the spring. I say just get used to pulling the scope back to the set screw eye relief, it works better than the Unertl with the spring. Google up Gary Fellers in Dallas plus Unertl. If anyone has one, he does.

    PIGlite-CF4 Carbon Fiber Tripod

    I have the short regular metal tripod. I love it the way I can get it low for stationary hunting for hunting ridge lines in search below for javelina, especially since the cover is usually low. I also use it for my spotter and rangefinder. For the price, I have no complaints. I also use an old...

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Scope help

    Good call on the sunshade. I am sold on Swarovski for a hunting scope. I have an old Nova A 3x9x36 and it has been beat every which way and never needs to be rezero'd no matter what I clumsily do to it. I also have a Z6 and the X5. The glass is amazing. I even have a Kahles ZF84 and no matter...

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Scope help

    I checked my Swarovski X5i 3.5x18x50 about fifteen times. The majority came out as 56.80mm. If you want me to check the sunshade, I will be happy to, but visually, it is exactly the same as the objective bell.

    Any preferences for slings for competition shooting?

    http://www.lestamslings.com/ There is only one thing I own that I am absolutely certain is the very best in the world and crafted by someone who is so skillful that he has virtually reinvented a product that is over a hundred years old. I have known Les Tam for many years, and spent several...
