    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II 1-5x24 Illuminated Reticle Issue

    I called the company that sold me the scope and found out that if I had discovered the illumination issues prior to mounting it, they would have replaced it (life lesson learned). They were very surprised that I was having a problem with that model and referred me to Burris and their warranty...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II 1-5x24 Illuminated Reticle Issue

    I bought a Burris XTR II 1-5x24 to replace the Eotech on my company carbine. I finally had some downtime yesterday and had the opportunity to mount it. After mounting it, I dropped in the battery and found that the illumination feature on the reticle only worked after dialing up to 11 and then...

    Digital powder dispenser recommendations?

    A couple years ago, my OCD got the best of me and I purchased a Sartorius scale to serve as a second step to my Chargemaster. I began wondering if the added step was netting me any significant gains, so I ran this test:

    Action in mcree problem

    I'm not sure if their shop is back at 100% due to the ice storms, but give Scott or his crew a call and they'll be able to help you. My Rem 700 was straight drop-in, with no bedding needed. When I mount my action into my McRees chassis, I put the stock vertical, resting on the buttpad...

    Hunting & Fishing Post your SMK/Match bullet kills

    The pictures really don't do it justice. The temperature was in the low 20's and the sun made that path of blood glow red. The buck ran about 20-30 yards and then collapsed. The fact that they can run with that much blood loss is phenomenal.

    Camcorder as a spotting scope?

    I would setup my camcorder and record my LR sessions (I usually shoot alone and can't always call hits at 1k), but I could only use about half of the zoom. With the heat and humidity in my area, the mirage was too fierce to use all of the zoom capabilities.

    New Reloading Setup

    No doubt on the A/C being needed. I've got a couple fans for now, but in a month or so, it'll be way too hot to be out there for long. I need to insulate the garage door first, then extend some ductwork. It's definitely in the next phase of my project.

    New Reloading Setup

    I used the last few months to redo my reloading / gunplumber bench in my garage. I went from a store bought pegboard and powder coated sheet metal bench to a custom built wooden setup. My dad always had a woodworking shop operating when I was growing up, so I used this project to get the Ole...
