    Rifle Scopes Best flip scope caps?

    I ordered 1 set on Black Friday, and another set a couple days ago. Got email confirmation that both orders received. Now it’s just a waiting game. Figure Jon probably got slammed with orders. I will give it a few weeks. Jon has always come through. I wouldn’t get too concerned just yet...

    Who likes their CZ455 VPT

    Love my 455 PT. First time out with it shooting bulk Federal auto match, it put 10 rounds in the size of a nickel @ 50 yds. Have put a little bit of Match ammo through it, and it tightens up just a bit more, however I'm perfectly happy shooting the cheap auto match ammo. Can ring steel with...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife carry, sharpening and general observations

    I too grew up carrying - on the farm, to school, and to this day always have a folder in my pocket, usually a benchmade 520. As for sharpening, I have a bunch of DMT diamond hones - both the system and individual flat diamond hones. I was never a fan of the electiric options or the big systems...

    Suppressors Shot My Tab Gear Suppressor Cover

    I started with the Armageddon gear cover on my Dead Air Sandman L. It does work and does stay put, but the black inner material of the cover sheds off very easily and really collects in QD mechanism on the rear of the can. I've since bought a Cole-Tac cover using the stricta cord - I requested...

    Rifle Scopes Needing info on a swfa 3-15x42

    So far I'm loving it. I went with the CZ 455 PT for a few reasons. 1. CZ's are known to be pretty good shooters. 2. The precision trainer comes with a manners stock. I did pillar the rear & bed it. 3. I wanted a heavy barrel that was threaded for a suppressor. As for affordable, that's...

    Rifle Scopes Needing info on a swfa 3-15x42

    Owning the SS 1-6, 3-9, and 5-20, I bought a FFP 3-15 last November during the black Friday sale. I wanted something with a very adjustable parallax for a CZ 455 PT. For the money the SS 3-15 fit the bill. I'd have preferred the 3-15 in HD versus the classic line, but again, for the price and...

    neoprene scope cover for scopes WITH sunshade

    http://scopeguardalaska.com/ Not as thick of material as scopecoat, but available in a lot of sizes. I have 5 of them. Contact them, I'm pretty sure they'll make you a custom size if you are running a long shade.

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 3-15hd

    Man oh man I hope they do this. If they roll out a 3-15 HD built upper tier as with the 1-6, 3-9, 5-20 I'd be all over 1 or 2 of these and replace a couple lesser scopes I'm currently using. I hope they do make them but the competition is getting better and cheaper, the longer they wait the...

    Target stands for steel.

    PVC pipe holder/carrier has worked very well. I made it just long enough so that there isn't much slop room for the rebar to move..... maybe an inch lengthwise. With 5 sets of stands in there, it does get to be a heavy bitch! On the other hand, it makes for a nice compact package for hauling...

    Target stands for steel.

    Here's a link to a thread I did awhile back using bought and homemade stands for 5' sections of 1/2" rebar. Targets hung with old baler belt. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/s4-sniper%92s-hide%AE-equipment/196203-compact-storing-hauling-steel-target-stands-props-jcsteel-bigdog-steel.html

    drag bag pack combo

    Are you talking about hunting, LE tactical work, or just going out far afield shooting? If for hunting or LE, I'd venture to say an Eberlestock pack with built in scabbard should work just fine. This would give you the option of hauling all your gear to a spot. From there, you can do a couple...

    Rifle Scopes swfa sniper scopes

    Sniper81, SWFA scopes are held in fairly high regard around here. While many of the models do not directly compete with the top tier alpha glass, they ALL offer a lot of bang for the buck and all are backed by SWFA's great warranty. Depending on the they type of country you hunt in, quarry...

    drag bag pack combo

    Cannot speak to your question directly. However, I do have a tac-ops drag bag and can tell you this, the damn thing has the tendency to get mighty heavy all on it's own. Don't take this as a knock on the tac-ops. It is one heck of an overbuilt bag, one might say built too well.....? With all...

    High End Spotting Scope Recommendation

    Give Scott at Liberty Optics a call. He'll point you in the right direction. Otherwise, the Kowa is very highly rated, as is the Vortex Razor and for the money the Razor is hard to beat. It will hang right up there with the top tier alpha glass for around half the money. You can even find...
