I'll take it.

I'll take the 1-4.

My scope had bigger issues than a poorly engraved turret. I sent it in for warranty evaluation. The customer service folks in CO are outstanding. Steiner really stands behind their products and I couldn't be happier with their service. They state an average turnaround time of 4 to 6 weeks...

Just an update to anyone that might be considering buying a Steiner or has bought one that has issues. The Steiner rep. hasn't bothered logging on to the Hide for over five weeks, now. Which pisses me off because I PM'd him, as he requested, waited a week, then PM'd him again. I was...

Yeah, from what the Steiner Rep has said, there was just a one batch of poorly engraved turrets. The fix is simply replacing the turret, which he said he would provide if we let him know. He's has been true to his word for some Hide members. The trick is getting Steiner Optics to reply to...

My new 4-16x50 Military scope has this same engraving problem on the elevation turret. I've PM'd Steiner Optics, and am waiting to heard back from him.

Logged off? I can't even log on!

Not yet. Horus H58 & H59, Mildot, Nightforce NP-R1, NP-R2, & MLR, and the TReMoR are the reticle choices, so far. Bryan said that more reticles would be added as requests were received.

I've got my Badger in an AICS. The AICS comes with basically a V-block that a round action, like the Remington, sits in. To mount the Badger, the V is milled off and a second recoil lug slot is machined in, because the Badger has two, and the area around the bolt handle is relieved for...

JFComfort, you're aware that the Badger is a flat bottom action and that you'll have serious stock work to do, right?

When you pay for quality, you only cry once. I'm not diss'n Vortex or Bushnell, but if you spend a little more you can get a used Nightforce or Leupold and then mount it in a removable mount like a LaRue. That way you can use it on several rifles, which will save you the money in the long...

Yeah, thanks guys. I'm sure this has been some serious ass pain. People don't like change, there's always gunna be resistance and bitching. I'd didn't like the new Hide, at first. But, now I'm starting to dig it.

Oh great, I can see where this is going. Now we're gunna piss off the Yellow Menace. Then those pricks are gunna hack the Hide. Just when I'm getting used to the new format!

When my M2008 was new, I could lift the rifle with the bolt knob. And, it's a 17 lb F/TR gun! Glad to heard Marty is addressing the bolt lift issue.

One of the Armorers at the 125th STS recommended Tornado Technologies to me, they're out in Hillsboro. http://www.tornado-technologies.com/index.html

Bryan responded to an email that I sent to Applied Ballistics. He directed me to page 275 of his book Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting (2nd Ed), where he discusses velocity-banded BCs. The answer is to just use the lowest velocity BC value that you have, "This will not give an...

Old school, but a lot of thought went into the OPS Inc. brakes. They're engineered to throw the sound to the sides. http://www.opsinc.us/muzzle-brakes.html I've been very happy with them, but the guys down the firing line aren't!

To create a more accurate Drag Model in the AB Mobile App, I'm entering the G7 values from Bryan Litz's excellent work, "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting". But, I've run into a snag. The App requires an entry at 0 fps. Anyone know what value I should enter for 0 fps?

I lost a bunch of posts during the conversion. Any idea why?

Re: Gun safe desiccant I wonder if there would be any benefit to sealing the safe with some of that thin rubber, self-adheasive, weatherstripping. It might keep the desiccant from pulling in moisture from outside the safe. I was using one of those desiccant packs that you plug into an AC...
