    3,500 Lumen Wall of Light: Nitecore TM26 (Pics, Specs, etc...)

    That would be pretty intense. I think pairing it with a throw light such as the TK75 or similar would cover the best of both. You would have ridiculous spill, a hot corona and beam that drives even further. I actually did this when I was taking the photos for this and it was quite remarkable. It...

    3,500 Lumen Wall of Light: Nitecore TM26 (Pics, Specs, etc...)

    Thanks for the comments guys, Hope it helps. RedManss- Yeah man, lights have come a long way. It's funny how impressed we get at every development... Just like when 100 lumens blew us away. Further improvement seems unfathomable every time there's a breakthrough. Never would have imagined...

    Need help on rangefinder selection

    ^^^^ I have the 12x50 as well and think they're great. Now that the One Mile versions are out they show up for even less. People have said the One Mile models are quite a bit nicer, glass, display etc... If you can swing their price I've heard they're absolutely worth it

    3,500 Lumen Wall of Light: Nitecore TM26 (Pics, Specs, etc...)

    User Interface: Circuitry in the TM26 allows for memory and 'lock out' modes. Operation is controlled by a backlit two stage side clicky. The switch controls 8 different lighting modes, include four brightness levels from (3) to (3,500) lumens (@43,000 candela) as well as strobe, beacon and...

    3,500 Lumen Wall of Light: Nitecore TM26 (Pics, Specs, etc...)

    When I first learned that Nitecore was to introduce the TM26, I was not only underwhelmed by its fugly four headed design, but turned off by its inflated price for gobs of wasted and unfocused lumen output. Also called 'Quad Ray', It had four emitters each with small separate reflectors. It...

    Grace -USA- anyone?

    No, not an ad... Guess it was just worded odd. I've heard of Grace but I'm not very familiar with them. I bought a new set of punches to try them out and they appear to be pretty high quality but I've had them for less than a week so and I dont own any other of their products. The packaging...

    Grace -USA- anyone?

    Starrett is the one of the first name that comes to mind in quality tools. They certainly have a large selection of products with an even greater reputation and following. I decided to try something different. I'm always happy to acquire more tools, even ones I already own and I don't mind...

    Rifle Scopes Has any one ever recieved a response from Ziess

    I spoke with Zeiss on the phone with a technical question. They gave me an email address to send photo and heard back from there tech department which reviewed and responded very quickly. Very courteous and pleasant to deal with. I would recommend doing the same. Speak with them and follow up...

    Installing a CZ 455 Set Trigger

    That really sucks. I've had a deposit on one for quite a while. That's a major dissapointment. The 455 is a great rifle otherwise. I was really counting on that modification. I have a yo Dave kit on the way for a temporary upgrade. Looks that will be it.... Thanks for the heads up Sent from...

    FSA-L1: Spotting Scope to 1,500mm DSLR Telephoto Lens

    So, I have a new product that I've been pretty excited about. I've been acquiring additions for my nikon ED 82 as many of the accessories are being/have been discontinued. As I now understand, this is to push their much more expensive EDG line and the new Monarch line of spotters that will be...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron Scopes

    Honestly, I would pass on the SII. I'm very happy with the SIII I have but I think there is better options below it. If you can swing the SIII, you will get 30mm tube, more elevation, better built/matching turrets, superior glass and reticle choices. You also get full access to the custom shop...

    First Spotting Scope Recommendations

    The Nikon 82 ED is incredible. With a bit of digital help I thinks it's potential raises significantly. Here are a couple views that were taken with just a cellphones camera. There's a lot more detail in the original pictures before they were ultra compressed by photobucket <200 yards at 75x...

    Malfunction: What does this sound like to you?

    It could be a number of things. If you've ruled out any mag issues by testing in another rifle and it never binds manually .... Where is your brass going after its ejected and any strange signs on casing? Any new equipment on the mag release? Eg B.A.D. Lever etc... You might be losing...

    Installing a CZ 455 Set Trigger

    I agree. The factory trigger sucks. I Dont know why its standard in other models but not even an option on the 455. I have the set trigger on order from my local FFL. They're incredibly cheap. Where are they? It seems no one has any idea when they're coming in... Sent from my SCH-I605 using...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite vs. Vortex PST FFP

    Sightron 6-24 FFP scopes have now hit the market. Liberty Optics just posted yesterday that they are in stock. I think they will be a good contender in this same price range. They have matching turrets with either Mil or MOA hash reticles and 120 moa of elevation. I didn't see illumination in...

    Loose Lips Sink Ships

    Here are a few that come to mind, "Pain is just weakness leaving the body; Suck it up and rub some dirt in it" "The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others" -Friedrich Nietzsche "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people" "Delusions...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII vs NIghtforce

    I agree. When I first got mine I called and spoke with CS about the parallax. They said it was done on purpose to prevent lash and accidental movement. It should loosen up over time... A lot of time. I've actually thought about putting a small switch or cat tail on it. At the very least maybe...
