When did telling the truth and giving good advice become 'elitist'. As others have said, save up, buy used or lower your expectations.

X2 on used if you're on a budget. I tried a couple cheapies as I mostly shoot .22WMR out to 150m so didn't figure I needed to spend big money...wrong...at 150mm .22 holes were a blur..and if in the white of the target invisible. Last year picked up used Baush & Lomb Elite (same as this Bushnell...

Not anti gun per se. I'm the industrial manager for one of Canada's largest photo retailers. Nikon has been concerned since 2013 when they first started to feel a concerted effort from the part of the photographic community who complained mightily (particularly in Europe) that they couldn't...

Well if that ain't the kettle calling the pot black.

I'd go with a .222. Inherently slightly more accurate than the .223 But because of the fact that it is a little less powerful than the .223 those 400yd shots will test you skill a bit more. Quite a bit of factory ammo available these days and easy to reload.

It can be hard as a dealer. I once had the experience of having a customer who wanted to look at product that we did not have on display. We had the 8x42 Leica's on the counter, but not the 10x42. We got a box out, opened it and he looked through them. He said 'yes' to buying them...but then...

Use Ballistic on my iPhone. To me a watch should tell time. My Rolex has been doing just that for 30 years :)

Does RRS still only deal direct? I'm the industrial manager for one of Western Canada's largest photo retailers www.mcbaincamera.com I sell a lot of sport optics and photo equipment to local LE (Edmonton Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and Canadian Forces. We have recently made...

I was a confirmed Nikon Monarch user for years...til I spend a weekend with a pair of 10x42 Swaro EL 10x42's last summer. Took them and my Monarchs on a camping trip and couldn't believe the detail at long ranges that was much more refined in the EL's. Especially in the shadows, details were...

I've used Fiskars and Estwings for 15 years. This year last year was presented a Gransfors by my sons. Wish someone had done that 15 years ago. For those that don't see the point...it' like anything. A Corolla will get you from point A to B as well as a Mercedes. But if you're more than...

As much as with a rifle scope...more money spent on binoculars usually means better quality. I sell optics in Canada. People come in look through a couple different pair of bino's at different price points and can't see a difference. But when you're out hunting you're likely not looking at...

Here's what I want What I can afford is a Chev 2009 Trailblazer which has served me pretty well.

Whilst I would like to buy from the U.S. or Canada (where I'm from) the facts are...the very best optics in the world are from Japan and Germany. Name me one camera made on this continent? In no way am I gong to buy an inferior product just to say I bought it locally.

Well, after a couple of months I found my problem...and is came way out of left field. So...yesterday was a typical day of late. Got to the range, touched off three shots at 100m...a little under an inch, bang in the middle of the target. Son #1 (16 yrs) did three shots...about an inch. Son #2...

For the past five years I have been trying to perfect my shooting (both rimfire and cenrefire)...spending hours at the range and leaving either feeling great...or frustrated..like the day a couple of weeks ago when after about 3 good groups with the .308 and then it went to hell and I realized I...

As someone above mentioned...for general outdoor use the best folder is the venerable Buck 110. It hasn't stayed on most top 10 lists of outdoor folding knives for 50 years without good reason. Holds an edge well. What is most important (IMO) is just that it is so darned comfortable. Just...

We have three of their data books in the family. Best there is in my opinion, and the service and delivery are absolutely top notch.

Appreciate your comment Greg. I do think I have the consistency your talking about. If I don't allow a lot of barrel cooling (I'm shooting 3 shot groups, then waiting about 5 minute), I'll get about 5 groups that are 1moa or better, then it opens to about 1.5-2moa. But as you say, it is...

Thanks guys. I didn't think it could be a defect in the barrel...it's too predictable. Have been out three or four time testing different ammo, and it's been the same every time...four or five great groups (for me) and then it starts to open up and wander a bit high and to the left. But as you...
