    Swaro CL Companion 8x30?

    Anyone have a pair of these and could comment on them? I'm looking to make my first bino purchase and these seem like the ticket. I'm looking for a good general purpose binocular. They will be used mostly for hunting and hiking/wildlife observation. My budget is under $1000 if you have anything...

    Model 70 in 220 swift with 15x unertl?

    So my buddy's uncle is getting older and has been giving all his firearms to him. Hes the only younger guy in the family with any interest and he doesnt want them going to someone who doesnt appreciate them. Every time he goes to visit he comes home with another. He was telling me about one he...

    New McMillan HTG, couple questions,,,

    My new HTG showed up today, man is it sweet. It's textured in GAP camo. I had a question about the recoil lug area, though. Is it supposed to be oversized. The barreled action has the factory recoil lug but the recess in the stock is much larger. It all fits together ok, I guess it's ok to have...

    Indecisive about my mcmillan order...

    Ordered a textured HTG and I've been flip-flopping on the finish. I started with Forest camo, then switched it to GAP camo, and now I'm considering just going straight molded-in OD like the M40A3 stocks. Ugh...opinions anyone? Just can't decide...

    Hunting & Fishing Can I get by using a fixed 10x scope for hunting?

    I'm at an impasse. I'm building a tactical rifle that is going to double as a hunting rifle. I'm not a hunter, but my uncle has 100 acres an hour away from me and is an avid hunter of whitetail and has invited me to hunt with him and I want to give it a shot. So I'm stuck on my scope choice. I...

    Rifle Scopes Better Leupold FFP reticle: Mildot or TMR?

    Wondering which of these is better for a FFP scope. Obviously the TMR has the advantage in general, but is it much harder to see at lower magnification than the Mildot in an FFP scope? Enough to warrant getting the Mildot over the TMR? I've never looked through a Leupold Mark 4 FFP and I'm...

    Rifle Scopes NF 2.5-10x32 vs Leupold 3.5-10x40 M3 FFP

    Looking to get a discussion going on the pros and cons of these two scopes, let's say both with a mildot reticle. The way I see it- Nightforce pros: -Illumination -Mil knobs w/ zero stop -Perhaps better build quality/reliability Leupold pros: -FFP -Larger objective So which scope would you...

    Rifle Scopes About to pull the trigger on a NF 2.5-10x32...

    Looking at the .1 mil zerostop model with mildot. It'll be going on a 20" bbled "light tactical"/hunting rifle. Anything else I should be looking at or waiting for? Is NF planning any upgrades to these compact models in the near future?

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have pics of a USO mildot at 1.8x and 10x?

    I looked through the reticle thread and only found one pic of a USO mildot. Wondering if anyone has pics of one at both 1.8x and 10x. Also, for anyone who has used this reticle, what do you think of it? What is the thickness like at low and high magnification? Thanks, Bill

    Do all the military 700s use old style triggers?

    Just curious, on M40A3s and M24s, for example, are they all tuned old style Remington triggers, or do they use aftermarket triggers or xmarks on some of them?

    Best way to mount sling and bipod on McMillan HTG?

    I'm ordering a drop-in HTG for my SPS Tactical and can't decide how to configure it. I want to use just a sling most of the time, but have the option to attach a Harris bipod. It looks like they come standard with two studs. Should I just get a second stud up front? Or should I get the Wichita...

    Badger or DD Ross bottom metal?

    Not looking for a DMB, so I'm looking at either the Badger M4 or DD Ross M1 USMC. I've heard some negative comments about the Badger bottom metal, but I've never had a product from Badger I didn't like, so I'm not sure which way to go. Both units look really nice, the DD Ross is about 30 bucks...

    Rifle Scopes Can't decide: Leupold ERT M5 3.5-10x or 4.5-14x

    I'm building a good all-around rifle. Starting with a Remington 700 SPS tactical 20" bbl and putting it in a McMillan HTG stock. Using Badger bottom metal, base and rings. I need a scope now, and I can't decide between these two magnification-wise. Can anyone help me decide? I like the 3.5-10...
