    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger single actions Bisley vs. Vaquero vs. Blackhawk

    I run a bisley, and love it. But, if you want to fan the thing for speed you should keep looking. I fondled a couple evil roy models by Cimarron? and they were very nicely tuned as far as a factory single goes. Haven't seen them around in a while though.

    Range Report Boat-tail backward ballistics

    Wish I knew about that type of research in college. Thanks for the read, don't see many scientific facts like that in these discussions.

    Suppressors Subsonic Suppressed Hunting Rifle

    Super sonic suppressed is fun to hunt deer with. I would suggest a little field research on varmints with the sub rounds. They make A small hole that's about it. They just started to allow spear hunting during bow deer season here, I've heard that they are subsonic, probably more of a...

    +1 that was my experience as well. The turrets are not as crisp on XTRII, but fully functional and a more practical zero stop.

    Suppressors Subsonic Suppressed Hunting Rifle

    My buddy has taken deer without issue with a win model 94 .357 I have taken many with a 94 in .44 mag. I like that I recovered all the animals quickly and have found about half of the slugs under the skin on the far side of the animal after smashing bones. Sounds like a fun project to me...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes

    Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes So I got an hour in the field to compare the vortex pst and the xtrii 5-25. The turret adjustment feel on the pst has an edge with detent feel, but not sure it's apples to apples with mils per rotation if that matters to you. The reticle could go either way...

    Shipped direct from burris, order placed in December. To be fair I can't say how it compares without wringing it out.

    Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes New rifle and scope setup, so groups will depend on how my hand loads perform. It's on a tikka, so I am hopeful that it won't be picky. I will do a box test on my first outing if the varget/sst combo agrees with her. The illumination assembly is light years ahead...

    308, for now, 6.5x47 later. Built like a tank. Forever warranty. I have used their warranty for minor illumination issues, I was more than pleased. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    All in all pretty good. 5-25 model. The clicks are audible but feel slightly rounded between each one. I have to focus with ear plugs to count. I will compare to vortex next time out. Glass seems pretty good, and all the adjustment knob travel is smooth and has enough but not too much...

    Update, now my 5-25 is expected to ship late June. Looks like it won't get much use until the crops are out.

    They did not send a tracking number via email and a package has not showed up yet. Not convinced that it actually shipped.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best .22 pistol to run a suppressor on?

    I am surprised that the high standard supermatic tournament has not made the list, along with colt huntsman. Then again, I can't convince myself to thread the one in my safe.
