I was finally able to track down Jim Mills, a master gunsmith in Lubbock that used to be the co-owner of Gun Creations gun smith shop here in Lubbock. Here's an old write up from G&A discussing a 404 jefferies rifle he built for the author Return of the .404 Jeffery | Rifles | Guns & Ammo...

Okay, so this was my first time using a chrono, and I figured it seemed simple enough, in so far as my observations at the range would be sufficient instruction. So, I didn't read instructions and I set the thing up right in front of my bench, which is how I had seen it done. I was getting...

Re: Eurooptic.com Sniper’s Hide Membership Program Wish I had seen this in December when I bought EO's last Benelli M4.

Re: Laser Genetics ND3 I have ND 3x50 and love it for hogs and coons. Southbreeze is right though, 'yotes don't like it. Mine is mounted to my spotting scope, giving it effective nightvision range out to 400 yards.

Re: Leica, Zeiss, or Vectronix Range Finder I was recently making this same decision (between Leica and Zeiss). I went with the Zeiss, because of the BDC feautre, which gives you a fairly accurate estimation of your bullet drop in relation to the distance ranged. Accuracy of estimates are...

I was digging through the gun closet at my parents house and came across the Remington nylon 66 that my grandfather gave me for my 10th birthday in 1987. As a kid, I remember always wishing the gun had a scope on it, so I wanted to see it done before I pass the gun to my son. And yes, I am...

Re: machining a giant scope ring for my spotting scope Here's what I came up with: This is an aluminum 125mm ring used for mounting various devices to a telescope sold by ADM Accessories: http://admaccessories.com/Miscellaneous_Adjustable_Rings.htm. Note-the rings included the spacers like...

I am just curious if IR aiming lasers are limited to being used only with regular night vision (e.g., Gen I, II , III), or if they will also work with thermal night vision.

Re: Pulsar N550 lens magnifier Let's resurect this and see if we can't get some feedback. I just tried to order the Dr. Bob's and was told they couldn't export into the US. WTF?

I have two pieces of equipment that I'd like to use together: 1) a 70mm Leica Televid spottings cope; and 2) a Laser Genetics ND 3x50 light. No need to explain the function of the spotting scope. The light is basically like a "poor man's" night vision, which casts a focusable diffused laser...

I'll preface by noting that when it comes to scope ranging, I'm a newb with little experience, and pretty much everything I've learned came from this site or the intruction manual for my scope. This past weekend I was scouting my new West Texas deer lease, where I was ranging potential shots...

Optics Planet says they begin taking delivery of these before the end of next month. Thus, I've got my hopes up to have one before deer season. I am trying to decide between the 44mm and the 50mm. I often hunt in heavily wooded, low-light conditions, therefore, the 50mm is preferable in this...

I'm about to complete my 300 blk build and I will soon be sighting it in. I love my acu-sight bore sighter, but I doubt I have the propper diode. Since they don't make one expressly for 300blk, does anyone have any idea what diode would work?

My question is--what is the max effective range of super sonic 300 BLK when fired from 18" barrel vs. when fired from a 16"? NOTE: I'm aware that that the 300BLk was designed primarily for sub sonic use, and the popular view with respect to barrel length is shorter=better. However, the primary...

I'm considering a new 300 Blackout barrell that I will use for hunting. Accordingly,I'm considering an 18" barrel (over a 16") for added range, and I have a few questions: 1. Will I have any significant increases in accuracy with an 18" barrel over a 16" (and if so, to what extent)? 2. Can I...
