    Any original members here?

    I don't remember what year I joined but it was several years before Scout. Maybe 04 or so. Don't post much at all anymore. Wish it could go back to the way it was before. Showing my age... Too bad I can't read my old posts about the matches I hosted years ago. Lots of pics I haven't seen in a...

    An interesting question occurred to me

    I discussed that very question with the post office manager several years ago. I was told that when a Firearm is brought in for shipping it is a 'package' just like any other. It is required that you declare it as such but its just another package to be shipped.

    Went to Parler this morning & this is what came up. Same when I went through DDG search. WTF?

    Barrel bridge

    Awesome! Thanks. I just found a similar setup from Badger Ordinance too. These things are hard to find.

    Barrel bridge

    Looking for a mount to add a NF Prizm to a Manners T5. Anyone have a link or something. Everything I've found so far is for helmet mount or for a specific chassis. Need a generic one. Thanks.

    What caused this primer failure?

    Right when they removed the nickel plating from their primers I had a case of them that did the exact same thing. As sated before it blows out @ the corner due to a crack. Called Winchester & they had me send in 10 for testing. Imagine my shock when they said they all tested fine & basically...

    Truing banded BC

    I fiddled with the banded BCs. Shot at 735yd, 1440, & 1800 but couldn't get the track to line up. I couldn't even get what I thought was overly large changes to make even .1 mil difference to the predicted dope. I gave up. Guess I'll just run a couple of tracks for different ranges in CB.

    Truing banded BC

    As the title suggests. I'm looking for tried & trued methods of trueing banded BC specifically in Streloc Pro. Background: My LR/ELR rifle runs the 225ELDM from a LHGT 9.5-8.75 chrony'd @ 2965fps. I primarily use CB & have my ELR dope right on. Tested from freezing to 90° sea level to 5000'...

    Update. I've had the new Leicas out on 3 weekend trips so far. 2 were bright sun & slight haze. They were 100% ranging to about 1800yds. They did have trouble at 2000+ but with a few tries in scan mode I did get about 2700yds on some trees. We have rain & fog now & I was able to range 1780 in...

    Bushnell Warranty? Lol

    I'm done with Bushnell. My Fusion 1600 failed to focus & they told me my warranty was expired. I guess to them lifetime means a few years... So far it's been 2 weeks & no one has even replied to my emails. Bought a Leica.

    Yeah. I'm not a high tech kinda guy. All I know is my 15 yr old bushnell has ranged things in rain & fog that the new ones won't. Hopefully these new Leica 3200 will range equal to my bushnell in inclement weather. Farther in good weather with the awesome glass.

    A little more info to pass on. I brought them out to a wide open place in bright sun with terrible mirage & tested the laser against my bushnells. Out to about a mile I had no issues ranging trees & brush. My bushnells didn't do any better but past a mile it wouldn't hit anything except a truck...

    I have done a little testing over the last couple days but only at twilight or after dark. I had a brief hard rain late & they didn't do too bad. It ranged 800+ in heavy rain. In clear twilight it easily read a tree at 2176 & did so easily & repeatedly. Doesn't look like I'm going to have any...

    Were you able to test them out in some fog? I should have mine Wed evening & it's supposed to be raining but by the time I get home it'll be dark.

    Since cabelas has already credited me the fusion x binos back & the Leica 3200.com is the same price as the 3000 I just ordered them. Should be here before next weekend so I can try them head to head with my fusion 1600. I'll post up what I think. Thanks for the info.

    I get that. But it doesn't explain how 2 units like my bushnell & the kilo give better performance using the same 905nm laser. My bushnell will work in bad conditions that my kilo is useless. It must be something in the way the 2 units read returned signals.

    I think it's more in the internal programming. I think the newer ones will not give a range with a lower return signal strength while my old bushnell will give me a range where the newer ones won't. My Kilo 2400 AB is useless in bright light or rain or fog.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm seeing a trend pointing to the Leica geovids. I don't need Bluetooth or anything special. I just want better glass with a lrf that will cut through rain, snow, & fog with angle compensation. My 1600's will give a return to 1800yds in light snow where my TerripinX is...
