    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Customer Service isn't

    :mad::mad: I had an older Bushnell Holosight with the standard 65MOA circle and the 1 MOA dot. It has sat in my gunsafe mounted on top of an AR15 with a dedicated .22LR upper. I've probably used it less than 10 times in the last 5 years. It looked new and the terminals were not corroded. I took...

    OK, I picked up a S&W Shield in .40 S&W. (Up to now, I've been a Glock guy and I have a G36 for concealed carry). So, what are the preferred modifications to grip, trigger and hi-vis night sights? Any thing else to make this an even better concealed carry piece?

    Gunsmithing Melonite in Bore: Removal?

    Long story short. I had a stainless Rock Barrel in .22-250 (proven shooter). The rifle went back to smith for coating (since he was too busy to do it at the time of the re-barrel) in Melonite. Recieved it back with Melonite in the bore (as well as on the outside) which was now blackish and...

    I have an approx. 6 yr. old, U.S.O. 20 MOA pic. type rail on my A.I.A.W. I had scope mounted in TPS 30mm rings on it. I tried to mount a different scope in Seekins 34mm Super Low rings and found out that the cross-bolt was NOT compatible. The slot in the USO pic. rail is approx. .19" and the...

    Which .17 HMR Rifle do you recommend?

    I had a semi-auto and decided I wanted a bolt action. It will probably be primarily a paper puncher but I may use it on varmints too. I would appreciate recommendations from those who own one. Thank you.
