    Re: Overall ok 1st day with SL8-6, But one problem.. Not easy to inadvertantly bump fire the SL-8 / G-36 trigger group. Relatively long reset. Drop the lower reciever off ( do this over a clean workbench ) Pull trigger while letting hammer down under the control of your thumb. The front...

    Manfrotto tripod

    Re: Manfrotto tripod Can't go wrong with a 055 or 190 . You only need the PRO version if you want to have the ability to swing the vertical column to horizontal. I personally use this for photography but don't find it necessary for a spotter You may want to try the pistol grip ball with a...

    Rifle Scopes AI or Badger Ord one piece mount?

    Re: AI or Badger Ord one piece mount? It was what they had in stock for 34mm w/ 20MOA . Most of the NEAR Alphamounts don't have the two rings up front. The price for the 3 ring vs 2 ring was the same BTW I would prefer to have one ring in front so I have some latitude on movement of scope in...
