I normally reload .223 and .308 (for semi auto non-precision rifles) and some .308 for my bolt action. I have read the Tresmon stickies and want to dial in a more accurate load for my precision rifle in .308. I use a Lee trimmer (holds the case and cuts to the set length/set length) with my...

Re: Millett TRS1 The test Concludes hrfunk, THANKS for doing this thread and keeping it alive. I had ordered one of these scopes several years ago (and posted here) before Bushnell bought Millett. Needless to say, it had a canted reticle and I had to return it for money back and was pissed...

Re: Flight suit/coveralls for ghillie build? Thx boys! I appreciate the insight and prevention of making a mistake.

Looking for pros/cons for using a non insulated/non nomex flight suit or set of coveralls for my ghillie suit build vs 2 piece (pants/jacket) uniform. My pros: easier to build, faster to get on/off, maybe easier to pack, slightly cheaper to buy vs set of bdus/acus My cons: worried about the...

Re: Camo patterns paint vs ghillie'n up the gun, help Thanks again gentlemen. Lots of great points/counterpoints and evidence both methods work. I think I will go with krylon vs duracoat but I am gonna just have some fun and build out a ghilie for the rifle for shits and giggles. I am...

Re: Camo patterns paint vs ghillie'n up the gun, help Thx boys! Much appreciated. Color choices? I am gonna pick 2-3 colors and paint up some 2x4 wood and use them as a test run in my yard and the woods near where I live to test color, patterns and to eliminate some initial user errors if...

Re: Camo patterns paint vs ghillie'n up the gun, help Exactly what I was asking for in info, thanks my friend. Anyone else have an opinion?

Posting in this forum as painting is a form of gunsmithing to me as it is altering a firearm. I am researching as many forums as I can for threads on this topic Krylon vs duracoat? Sponge patterns vs strait colors vs rubbing colors vs stencils. Colors? BAH!! Damn I am lost. Likewise, I...

Re: "Honest" CounterSniper optics review (video) LMAO bro....thx for sharing

Re: Millett TRS-1 Canted Reticle: Anyone get/see one? Final Update: MidwayUSA did the right thing. Got it back and gave me a full refund + cost of my return shipping. It was my first return to them in the years and $$$ of biz, so I am happy. Surprised no one else sounded off on the canting...

Re: Millett TRS-1 Canted Reticle: Anyone get/see one? Thx gents. I am one of those guys that never sends crap back...but this one pissed me off and left me unsure. Gonna ask for a full refund. I will check out the Vortex and also some other options. Still looking at the SS 10x but I know...

Just curious. I am going to send my new Millett TRS-1 back on Tuesday. The reticle was canted left NIB when I got it this Friday. I had read of one or two other cases like this. Anyone else have this experience? Should I send it back for a full refund and reconsider my options OR swap it...

Re: Fixed vs variable advice Got the Millett in today and damn if the reticle is not canted left...bummer. Crap QC and bad move as now they have lost my biz permanently. Back to the vendor it goes for a full refund. I guess I will keep counting pennies and save for that Sightron I...

Re: Millett LRS-1 Got mine in today.......opened to inspected and: reticle was canted to the left....damn! Sending it back. I am pissed off at the waste of time and effort. Millett looses my biz permanently now.

Re: Fixed vs variable advice Well boys, I went with the Millett TRS-1 4-16X. I ordered it today...should have it by next week. I appreciate the excellent advice that many afforded. Based on where I am in learning this game I think this is a perfect compliment to my Savage and my skill...

Re: Fixed vs variable advice THX Top! Much appreciated guidance and effort in the feedback . I think I am ready to pull the trigger but want a day to sleep on it. At the price point on my lower end, I am not going to get too goofy on obsessing. Once I get this and the stock upgrade done...

Re: Fixed vs variable advice Thx! I did do search function on Millet and also did some review of online data/feedback on the TRS-1. Same price range as the SWFA SS. Some lovers/some haters...which is confusing. I did read many equate the same glass quality to the SS. Millet fans/haters...

Re: Fixed vs variable advice 30 minutes for 25 shots. My budget: $300 min/$850 max however I don't want to go max if I can find a good solution such as the fixed power deal. If I do go to my max, my heart is on a Sightron variable SIII....which makes the fixed question mute based on the...

Re: Fixed vs variable advice Thx gents. For the match I mentioned it is 4 shots each at 50, 100 300, 380, 440 550. Keep the feedback coming.

I have read the stickies, done my searches and I really appreciate the open knowledge that has been shared here. Still, I am stuck. I have a Savage 10FP .308 that I am finishing and I need to upgrade from the crap scope I wasted money on to start. I want to shoot a local match that does...
