    Your Local Gun Store -

    It's rare for me to go to a local store. The only reason is to purchase a gun or transfers. I have been shooting since 7th grade. Now 50 I have a fair amount of experience with firearms. For a living a was a Detective and a firearms examiner. I'm an armorer for several companies. Most stores...

    Anyone shoot smallbore 3 position?

    Just got back from my first practice. First, I forgot my 50 ft adapter for my Leupold. Quick run home and I was back. I had no clue what my adjustments would be on the rifle. Then wrestling with my Knobloch glasses was a pain. In all it wasn't too bad. My scores were off but not bad at all. I...

    Anyone shoot smallbore 3 position?

    I restored my late fathers 1813 recently. The wood was dinged up from the years. She is brand new now. Too bad my kids are way too small for this rifle.

    Anyone shoot smallbore 3 position?

    Now that I'm newly retired, I figured I'll start up again. Time to break out the Anschutz 1813L and see how it goes. Its been a while hope my body doesn't hurt too bad. Think both shoulders have torn cuffs. Time to get myself fixed up as well.

    Rifle Scopes Gen 3 razor turret

    This scope has been out for a good amount of time. Mine shipped the day it was ordered from them. They know it's an issue and choose not to correct it. When scope was specked out there are requirements for everything. You could hang a weight off my parallax knob and it wouldn't move. Sure they...

    Rifle Scopes Gen 3 razor turret

    I knew this was an issue when I ordered mine. I was told the issue was corrected. No, it wasn't. Not only are the turrets not as positive as the Gen 2 but the parallax was so stiff it would barely move. They fixed it but, why not correct the issue at the factory? To me this is a waste of time...

    Steiner MPS review for Cameraland

    Steiner MPS Review Doug from Cameraland gave me a Steiner MPS to review. Once I got home, I realized my pistol needed to be milled to accept the sight. I had no idea of who to use and I was worried it would take weeks. I contacted Battlewerks in CT about doing the work. They stated once they...

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    Best part they don't make jack. LOW makes the scope in Japan. Yup my Gen 2 was a better unit.

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    I called today shipping it back this week. For the money these cost they should correct these issues. Pull them out of the box and repair them before they go out.

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    I just got one this week. Parallax rings is insanely stiff, and the turret feel doesn't match. Elevation is louder and more positive. They don't lock up very firm. Funny when I placed the order they told me these issues were fixed on the current ones. BS I'm sending it back tomorrow.

    Rifle Scopes First impression of the Gen3 6-36x Razor

    Kinda pissed since I knew they had an issue and I asked them before I placed the order was this addressed on the current ones, and they said yes. My parallax needs a throw lever it's that tight.

    Rifle Scopes First impression of the Gen3 6-36x Razor

    Just got one this week. Didn't bring my Gen 2 to compare. The power ring is smooth, but parallax is stiff as hell. I wish the locking turrets locked in the up position firmer. Optics look great. The new turrets are easy to zero but there is a difference between the two. The elevation turret has...

    Vudoo w/ Eley Ammo

    Mine hates Eley. It groups fine but a good amount of FTF or fail to extract. I've tried Black, Tenex and they both cause issues. I sent it back years ago for this. Guess the fix didn't work. Lapua runs great never and issue.

    My fathers Anschutz 1813 restoration

    Trade secrets!! Stripped it with chemical stripper and sanded. 100 grit, 180, 220 then finished with 320. Next I applied truck bed liner spray for the black. I used Chempak for a finish. Hand rubbed a few coats then sprayed it. All the metal was bead blasted with #10 glass beads to remove all...

    My fathers Anschutz 1813 restoration

    My father passed in 2017. I retired in April from the NYPD. Now I finally have time to catch up. My father built the grip area up and the stock was just covered in small dings from alll the use over the years. We both got our rifles in 1985 or 1986. Mine is a LH. I stripped the wood and redid...
