    Scammers are ACTIVELY scanning classifieds for an I'll take it

    I posted an I'll take it for a Leica 2700b rangefinder posted by TxDerek. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/leica-2700-b-lrf-fs.7202201/ Minutes after posting I'll take it, I receive a PM stating, "It's yours. What is your shipping address, send payment via F&F to gmail account, and...

    Q Mini Fix with Proof Carbon 223 Rem 16" Barrel Accuracy

    I picked up a slightly used 16" Proof Carbon barrel and 15 inch handguard for my 300 Blk Mini Fix pistol recently off the SH marketplace. I could not find much information on the net about this combo and accuracy so thought I would provide some feedback. As only "20 rounds fired through barrel"...

    Night Vision COTI optimal mode/settings for detection hunting

    I have been using my COTI on patrol and outline modes with factory setting for a few months. I thought I remember reading somewhere that others have improved performance with some adjustments to factory settings. What settings have you found work best for detection without a lot of “noise” for...

    Rifle Scopes Where did the recent "Hensoldt Scopes" thread go?

    Two days ago I participated in a thread on Hensoldt scopes. Now the thread is nowhere to be found. It is like the thread never existed. Anybody else notice or can point me to the location of the thread? Thanks, TKAB

    Kudos to Camera Land Sports Optics

    Just wanted to report my positive experience with recent purchase from Camera Land, a site sponsor. I noticed their ad on this site advertising Zeiss demo binoculars on sale. I checked the site, current model binoculars at a very fair price, made a call, friendly gentleman on the phone, placed...

    Range Report Do weather meters = better LR consistency?

    I have noticed that as I shoot throughout the day I have to keep dialing down my Bullet Flight calculated mils of elevation. I know the environmental conditions have something to do with it and also greater muzzle velocity with the higher temps. I do use H4350 in my 260 which is an Extreme...

    Range Report Do you find variable 3-5mph difficult?

    I shoot in mountainous terrain over a valley at 550-1000 yards at my regular spot. I have found that some of the more challenging days for shooting are when the winds are actually calmer. Winds in the 3-5mph range often tend to be variable at this location and full value, vacillating between 90...

    Rifle Scopes Favorite Lightweight FFP Scope

    I am curious what lighter weight (say roughly 20 ounces or less) FFP scopes people have found acceptably rugged, bright, with decent turrets, and a good reticle pattern. I have a Hensoldt 4-16 FFP NH1 reticle that I love but it is not what I would consider lightweight. The scope will go on a...

    Hunting & Fishing First deer with a bow!

    Have rifle hunted for a number of years but got a bow at the end of last year, Mathews Z7. Had a 150 pound buck come in Saturday while hunting from the ground in a chair, no blind. I was able to draw back at around 40 yards when he went behind a tree. Did not have a clean shot due to brush until...

    Suppressors Wrong Threads on NEW Suppressor!

    I just got the call today from the dealer that my suppressor (30p-1) was received from Thunderbeast Arms. I was excited to hear that they could send off the ATF paperwork and it should hopefully be completed in 3-4 more months. I confirmed the model number was correct and then asked about the...

    What size TRG cheek spacer?

    I have a 260 TRG on order with the Sako 3 ring 34mm mount. What size cheek spacer are people running with that mount and a 50-56mm objective? I will be putting a Hensoldt 56mm scope on it.

    Hunting & Fishing First turkey of the season!

    On call until 0700 this am, so getting out before daylight was a no go. Slept in, casual morning, and hit the woods at 1230. Set up in one spot where I saw a gobbler a couple weeks ago and worked it about 45 minutes, but no luck. Drove on up the mountain to look for tracks and sign. Got up...

    Rifle Scopes Which Hensoldt scope for 260?

    3-12 or 4-16 for a 260 TRG? Sounds like all the importer's rifles (Hudisco) wear the 3-12. Jason on here seems to prefer the 4-16. Sounds like Lowlight has both. I watched his videos and read his posts. I did not see any direct comparisons of the 3-12 or 4-16 other than only the 4-16 has...
