    Shipping robust?: Softbag vs foam in a Nanuk 995 or Pelican 1750

    How do you see the robustness of transporting a rifle in a softbag inside a Pelican 1750 versus being put into custom cut foam? I have to ship a rifle via FedEx and I am concerned if a softbag would provide sufficient protection to the rifle and optic. Obviously the custom cut foam would be...

    Very little windage adjustment (6MIL) in Steiner M7Xi and a lot in Nightforce (24MIL)

    I am new to optics so I hope you can help. When I look at the ads for the Steiner M7xi 2.9-18 and the Nightforce 4-20 ATACR there are very different specs for windage adjustment. With the Steiner it says plus or minus 6 mils of windage adjustment for a total of 12 mils and when I look at the...
