    SWFA 12x32MIL Bino / 12x42 MIL Scope combo

    I have the binos I got with a Vortex scope package. They are excellent quality. The glass is clear and crisp. The only complaint I have is the Mil reticle is on an angle when I have them set to use both eyes.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SIG Scorpion Vs Ruger SR1911

    I owned the Ruger when it first came out and own a fullsize traditional slide Scorpion. They are both nice guns but the SR1911 was more finicky and required lots of tuning to get it to feed any type of ammo. The Sig has a flat 16lb recoil spring that had to go because it would sometimes fail to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns A good starter 1911 for EIC matches

    SA Range Officer, Sig Tac Ops, Ruger SR1911, RIA. I would look hard at the Sig because it already has some of the desired features such as the front and backstrap, night sights, comes with a few extra mags ect. I like my Sig Scorpion better than most of my others, and I own 6 1911s.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig Scorpion traditional 1911 range report

    I use oil in all the small moving parts like the barrel link the hammer pivot point and safety pivot points. I use grease on the barrel where it contacts the bushing and the lugs, the slide and frame.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig Scorpion traditional 1911 range report

    I would think a leather holster for a traditional 1911 would work. The Kydex has to be specific because it is rigid.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What is the Ultimate Combat Pistol? Make your case

    HK Mk23 would be my first choice followed closely by the SA TRP and only in that order due to the mag capacity. I think they are both the finest fighting pistols made. I would also put the Sig P220 as a close 3rd. IMHO there are a few requirements for a combat/duty handgun. Obviously they are...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig Scorpion traditional 1911 range report

    So I finally got to the range with the new Sig I just bought and thought I would write up a short range report on it. After owning close to a dozen different 1911s and carrying them on and off for years, I feel I have some experience and can give a fair assessment of them. I wanted to be a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns STI experiences/opinions wanted

    I owned an STI Lawman that broke an extractor in the first 50rds. STI was kind enough to offer to have the pistol sent back and repaired or they would send me an extractor and I could do it myself. I got the new extractor and put it in and tuned it and it ran fine for a few hundred more rounds...

    Best varmint rifle from factory?

    I would get a Savage 10 Predator. I am very happy with all of my Savage rifles and all of them group under an inch @ 100yds. You figue around 600-700 for the rifle and that leaves you enough for a good scope and base.

    Caliber selection for 650yd steel matches

    If that is the limitations I would probally go with the 6.5CM or .260 rem. I have not owned a CM but I love both of my .260 rem. If you get one with an Accu-stock you will need to do a slight mod on a replacement stock to get it to fit due to the bolt release on the front of the trigger guard.

    Caliber selection for 650yd steel matches

    It is not too short for your application. If you were going to be shooting regularly at farther distances I would go longer. I think the accustock is ok, I am actually replacing mine with a manners, or HS precision in the near future. I know you will get a big fanboy divide on the Savage vs...
