    New Burris XTR PS

    XTR III glass is pretty good and more than useable. We were never going to get Pro or better glass in an optic that has a street price basically the same as the Pro. That's an order of magnitude better than the glass Sig puts in their BDX Sierra6/Easy6 ballistic scopes, granted the PS is...

    Accu Tac sled feet thoughts

    Necrothread but just to add onto this because I could never find much info about it, I was pretty skeptical but I recently tried the sled feet on an accutac and as others mentioned on hard/flat surfaces, wood, concrete, even rubber mats on benches I really find the sled feed easier to shoot off...

    New Burris XTR PS

    I could see where it would be nicer to dial corrections while looking through the optic than trying to dial based on the elevation knob. It also means that say a throw lever, mount etc. obstructing your view of windage/elevation is no longer an issue. Especially for those of us who are old...

    Scope clarity question

    Wow that's a lot of posts arguing semantics..... Dialing an erector away from the optical center, forces you to view an area farther from the center of the optical path and distortion increases generally the further away you get from the center of your FOV. The mount does not change the...

    SAKO SELECT PROGRAM

    It's just unfortunate because Sako, Benelli, Tikka, all fall under them and they are typically all great products.

    SAKO SELECT PROGRAM

    Pretty cool, but I had to deal with Beretta warranty on an s20, and the experience was horrific and never resolved. I love my TRG, but after that I'd never buy another product where I might have to rely on Beretta for customer service. Sako should be ashamed to put it mildly. First Beretta...

    Tract Toric 4-20x50 vs Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18x44 vs Meopta Optika 6 3-18x50

    I've had several PST 2's 5-25's and bought two Strike Eagle 5-25's when they first came out and were getting a lot of hype. You don't really hear much about them these days and I no longer have either but still have some PST's I can tell you that optically the Strike Eagle's were...

    419 Mid Cantilever Question

    That's crazy, but I will say I feel like I've been noticing that more and more scope mounts are getting really thin in some areas, especially. It's interesting that the mid-cant does not have a center stiffening "beam", I guess they thought you didn't need it, but I have to admit if I could...

    Silencer Central, if true Phuck them!

    Wouldn't be surprising, I mean let's not forget that Ruger was the #1 push behind the 94' AWB........even going so far as to lobby other manufactures to get on board to support it. Yet today people still love Ruger. Same for when S&W caved to Clinton admin for putting in the internal lock.

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Tons of factors involved, both athlon and garmin specs say within +/- 0.1% of for rifle velocities so call it +/- 3 fps, though in the frequently asked questions garmin mentions +/- 5 fps for rifles. The real question that I'd care more about than the accuracy of the speed is the precision of...

    MPA Rifle rings or one peice scope mount?

    Yep, even as new shooters (and most things in general) women are easier to teach because they are more open minded and want to learn to do it the right way to start. Men you often have to fight egos, what they've seen on tv, youtube, or how their buddy does it. Couples can be the worst...

    MPA Rifle rings or one peice scope mount?

    That's a great write up on how to help reverse what so many of us have been conditioned to do over the years/decades which is force ourselves to fit the rifle. Shotgun shooters and archers for decades have known that the best performance comes from adjusting the system to fit you, not the...
