    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    Actually, 27 oz is fine, as long as they integrate a 1.350" height picatinny mount with 6 mils cant. Again, more of a dedicated optic and less of a hunting scope. Spending $300 on a 7 oz mount is just silly anyway. In fact, let's up the the price tag to $2,300 since we're eliminating Geissele...

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    I'd buy a few of the scopes you describe, but I'd get more specific about the numbers. There will be tradeoffs. Great eyebox - Good eye relief requires either a large eyepiece or proximity. I would sacrifice eye relief to gain FOV. An optics manufacturing company may balk at this for...

    New Products Intel from Camera Land

    Is the H6Xi 2-12 available with a Mil based, non BDC reticle? If so, I would like to order 10 of them.

    Discreet carbine carrying case?

    Carrying assembled will require much greater levels of deception. Even then, a trained eye will not be fooled. A keyboard case and musicians wardrobe will make the average observer more comfortable. That's about it. However, breaking it down and fitting cleverly into a backpack is much more...

    Carrying condition 0 with modern equipment?

    My experience requires that I say yes, there is a reason - Murphy's Law. Murphy dictates that your AD will happen at the worst possible time, caused by a gust of wind, or some such nonsense, which just manages to blow the corner of your shirt into your trigger guard upon reholstering. The...

    Suppressors TBAC 338 Ultra VS Barret MK22 can?

    From someone with experience with both cans, can you give a briefing on the TBAC 338 Ultra VS the Barrett MK22? I'm looking to suppress a Barrett MRAD in .338LM.

    Rifle case / shooting mat

    Galati Gear makes this type of trifold too. I can't attest to it's quality since I don't own one. I've had the Eagle Industries version for a decade and it's still going strong. I like it and it works quite well for my purposes. The trick is organizing your kit to nest neatly with the rifle...

    Are My Expectations Too High?

    Good detective work... You may have just saved yourself from a big headache.

    Are My Expectations Too High?

    If somebody brought that rifle to my bench, I would: 1. Clean and scope the bore for defects in the crown, chamber, rifling, throat or gas port. 2. Confirm the twist of the rifling. 3. Inspect the feed ramps. 4. Cycle rounds through the chamber and check for damage/concentricity 5. Check all...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a scope that's right for me.

    You might check out the Gen 3 Razor 1-10 if you can find one. I own NF and Kahles LPVO's and prefer the Kahles. The field of view, reticle(SM1) and smooth controls are appreciated every time I take a shot.

    Advanced Marksmanship Barrel speed up?

    I did not use mandrels until having custom dies made recently. The guys at Forster made a good argument for the rationale. I size down just enough that the mandrel expands the neck by only a few thousanths. My concerns of pulling the case out of concentricity and additional work hardening are...

    Advanced Marksmanship Barrel speed up?

    I've experienced this with a few rifles and found carbon deposits and work hardening of the case neck to be the variables at fault. Ambient temperatures and powder sensitivity should also be considered if you haven't already. The solution... A good bore scope and annealing method to keep things...

    what are you guys using for tough tactical combat pants?

    +1 for the Kuhl's. They have great pockets and freedom of movement. "The Law" are the heaviest that I have and I reserve them for hard use. They are not my favorites because they are not as comfortable/breathable as the rest of their pants. I wear the "renegades" much more often because of the...

    Ops Core Headset with Motorola EX500?

    Anyone know of a solution that will allow use of OPS Core Amp headsets (U-94, Amphenol or Fischer connector) with Motorola EX500 radios? (M5 multi pin) I already have M5 adapters that will allow common 3.5mm connectors, which may or may not help. I understand the number of contacts and...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon Credo 2-10x36 FFP Review

    Great job on the review. I'm interested in one of these and have questions about the fixed parallax. Trijicon doesn't quote the range, but I'm assuming 100 or 150 yds. Did you notice any lack of sharpness at long ranges?

    Rifle Scopes Best scope to buy for overall use? 100 yard/ 1000 yards - Hunt/competition/varmint.

    Lots of good suggestions above.... There is truth in all of them. The long range/short range/ hunting/multi caliber question opens up a real can of worms. At this point, based on your questions and intended use. I'd suggest the ZCO 4-20 in a Spuhr mount with an RDS. Expensive, yes - Pretty darn...

    Rifle Scopes Long Range Scope that can transition to short range?

    You can trace that decision back to supply chain realities dating back to WWII. In a different universe, we'd have a single infantry caliber in 7mm or thereabouts. In our current reality, the guns are built to chamber the millions of rounds already in existence. Everything happens for a...

    Rifle Scopes Razor HD Gen III 1-10 In Stock Anywhere?

    I just checked EuroOptic. They have an availabilty disclaimer, but you can add the MOA version to your cart. The MRAD version is a backorder.
