    Decent Budget Spotting Scope?

    Re: Decent Budget Spotting Scope? I decided to get the Barska 125x spotting scope to see if it would help me see .308 holes better @ 500 yards. I might get to the range this weekend. If I do, I'll post my thougyhts on the scope that only cost $149.00.

    Quick Release Mounts? Good Secure Options?

    Re: Quick Release Mounts? Good Secure Options? Some good responses. GDI mounts look like top quality stuff but $500.00 for a mount. I'm going to call Larue to szee what they offer and decide.

    Is a Savage Worth the time to customize

    Re: Is a Savage Worth the time to customize At first, I wasn't crazy about buying a Savage either but, once I shot it and saw the accuracy right out of the box, I realized it is the best stock bolt rifle available period. I have a 10 FCP K and with my handloads I can put 3-5 shots through...

    Photos Urban mix

    Re: Urban mix Super job!! Looks awesome. Another pattern that would look really cool is schneetarn. Although only out for a short while, I think the pattern may have been discontinued because alot of the items are no longer available. Good thing I bought plenty of stuff.

    Quick Release Mounts? Good Secure Options?

    Re: Quick Release Mounts? Good Secure Options? Larue mounts look good. I didn't see that they have them with 35mm rings. Both of my scopes have 35mm tubes. Do they modify them to order for 35mm rings?

    Quick Release Mounts? Good Secure Options?

    I used the search function but was unable to find a relevant post so I'm starting a new one. I want to make use of my best rifle scope on a couple of rifles rather than the best scope sitting on one rifle and having inferior scopes on the other rifles. I want to use my IOR Valdada 6-24...

    Decent Budget Spotting Scope?

    Re: Decent Budget Spotting Scope? I agree. I also have a Barska Blackhawk 20-60 and for the money, it can't be beat. I can see .308 holes out to 300 yards as long as I use a clean background. I usually use large white foam-board available at Staples and shoot-n-see targets. I can even see...

    Range Report DOPE question from a DOPE

    Re: DOPE question from a DOPE I mucked with my PDA and changed the velocity a number of times and found a velocity value that fit the 3 mil holdover that was used to hit steel at 500 yards. I think I need to test it at different ranges to see if changing velocity alone is the difference...

    what kind of bino's you guys using?

    Re: what kind of bino's you guys using? I had a couple of good sets of binos. The best set that I ever owned or looked through for that matter was a pair of Zeiss Jena NVA (checkpoint Charlie)7x40. I paid $200 for them on ebay and sold them a few years later for almost $600.00. While I...

    Ballistic Calculator Question??

    Re: Ballistic Calculator Question?? Kevlars: 2k for a Nomad is out of my range. God bless ya for being able to afford to try such expensive tools but, get real. How many people actually spend this much on one of these. I have a Treo and was whining about spending $300.00 for Atrag. Try...

    Range Report DOPE question from a DOPE

    Re: DOPE question from a DOPE I just started using pssf on my Treo that has a Palm OS. It seems to work well but, the data leaves me with groups about 12 inches high at 500 yards. I chronoed the load to get accurate velocity and updated it with fresh weather data and I think that I entered...
