Wow, I’m actually moving on from last years thread while still in the first month of this year. That has got to be a first. As with the previous 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 threads, the purpose of this thread is to provide a catalog of this years reviews and articles, give you a...

2023 has come, as has the first of this years review products so I guess it’s time to start up the 2023 BigJimFish review thread. As with the previous 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 threads, the purpose of this thread is to provide a catalog of this years reviews and articles, give you a...

Wow, I guess it has been a few years since I have gone to ShotShow. There was that whole pandemic thing, another kid, and then I just plain didn’t feel like going last year. In hindsight, skipping it last year might have been a mistake. The pictures looked like a ghost town instead of the mob...

Bobro type 3 bipod. I bought it new last year direct from Bobro. Though I have used it a number of times I doubt you can tell. It's pretty mint. New these are $400 when you can get them. I'll start it off at $350 $325 $300 shipped.

What this thread is: Last year I did a 2018 review blog thread It worked out well in 2018 and I think the concept has value as a way to keep me on schedule, keep the companies involved updated, and provide a place for you readers to discuss and comment on things. I'll update the thread from...

My wife and I just had a second child so it is time to sell off this nice rifle scope. The MSRP on these was $4,014.99 and the street was about $3,100 though, you can no longer buy this scope, 117496, with both illumination and the large, full featured, elevation adjustment. The Mark 6 3-18x44mm...

So here we go getting ready for another Shot Show. This thread will be where I will post information about new products from the show as well as general thoughts I might have along the way. I have chosen to use the thread format instead of the article one in order for the community to be able to...

What this thread is: I figured that it was about time to change the name of this thread since it has really become something of a blog chronicling the reviews I am doing this summer. This is not something I have done in the past but, now that I have started it, I think that it has value as a...

So, SnipersHide is back up and running on it's own from it's time at Scout. I started this thread over there and will be bringing the content here to stay. It's good to be back. I will also be back up as a contributor, writing reviews and articles for that section of the site. It's funny...

When in doubt, cant is better in the mount than the base: As one-piece scope mounts, many of which have built-in cant, have become more common on the market the question of whether it is better to have cant built into the mount or into the base caught my attention. Previously, when scopes...

A very different way to look at the 700 action and multi Caliber systems from American Rifle Company. I'm sure many of you already saw the section I wrote on American Rifle Company in my Shot Show blog in the optics forum. This is a mash of that material with some new thoughts, impressions...

Greetings readers. Another years Shot Show is just about to begin and I have spent a good deal of time thinking about how to best cover the show. In the past I have started individual threads for each maker. I have also tried a thread for a product class with multiple product entries. I...

Coming home from Shot Show 2013 this year, the one thing that struck me the most about this year's optics products was that laser range finding has come of age and within the next few years I expect virtually all serious long range shooters will be purchasing a first, or additional, laser range...

Looking back over the articles I have written and thinking about my impressions from Shot, this year was unquestionably the year of the laser rangefinder. In fact, I will be writing a summary article on that technology within the next week or so. For now, lets focus on the Burris Eliminator...

The first thing to talk about with regards to Zeiss this year is that the optronics division, including the Hensoldt line, is now owned by Cassidian, a division of EADS, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company. Basically, this is a giant aerospace and weapons maker that was formed when...
