    LTI TruePulse 200X Laser Range finder

    With the discontinuation of Vectronix Terrapin I know a lot of guys have been looking for a suitable replacement. From what I understand the big draw to the Terrapin is its awesome ability to accurately range targets beyond 1000 meters and its $2000 price tag. Since I have missed the...

    Spent the afternoon breaking in the barrel on my new GAP10 with its first 20 rounds. When I got home I started looking over my brass and noticed some serious ejector marks on the brass. The rifle ran flawlessly and never had any problems ejecting spent cases. So is this just a case of good...
