Originally I was going to get a thermal clip-on but because of the unavailability of the unit I wanted, I settled on a thermal scope. It never occurred to me that I would not be able to zero the scope on my rifle. I tried different color palettes and different materials to aim at hoping I could...

WTB Vortex Gen III 1-10x24 'nuff said. Joe

Okay, now that I have overwatch covered with the PVS-30, need something more tactical, a lightweight clip-on for an AR, maybe a thermal? I see AGM makes some US made clip-ons with FLIR cores... anybody have any experience there? AGM Rattler TC35-384 or Victrix TC50 384?

Although I'd prefer thermal to NV, I don't think my budget ($6k) is gonna land me a decent thermal clip on. I want to be able to use one unit on multiple rifles with existing day optics, and if I'm understanding what I've read, the unit needs to be collimated in order to not affect zero of the...

Super fast payment. No drama. Just great to deal with.

Lee collet die in 6 x 47 Lapua

PTG match 6 x 47 Lapua reamer Lapua 6.5 cases necked down to 6mm with .268" bushing (.002 neck tension) FGMM primers Hornady 105 Match HPBT .020" jump RL16 powder 80 degree day I went from 38 to 41 grains with no bolt lift or primer indications of overpressure, no ejector swiping or coining into...

I have 300 6.5 x 47 Lapua cases on the way. I thought the Hornady 6 x 47 Lapua die I ordered was a conventional die but upon closer examination it's a bushing die. I imagine anyone shooting 6 x 47 L is using 6.5 x brass necked down. If any of you are using a bushing die, what bushing gives you...

I'm trying to decide which 6mm chambering to go with, and it's down to 6 Dasher or 6x47 Lapua. I already have a 6x47 reamer, PTG part number 75008. Wondering if I can use this one for 105/108 class bullets and brass necked down from 6.5x47 Lapua cases without neck turning. Neck diameter is .273".

I'm looking for a 6 Dasher reamer to shoot 105-107 class bullets with brass made from Lapua 6 BR cases, preferably without neck turning. A friend bought a 6 Dasher reamer (from Brownells or Midway IIRC) made by PTG and there's something about the geometry that doesn't work (I've heard there may...

After taking a look at current throw lever options, like the MK Machining 3D printed, MGM SwitchView machined/anodized aluminum, and Aadland (printed or molded plastic I believe), I went looking for more of the Universal Coasters that I bought years ago as a temporary solution. When I bought...

After some research I picked the Leica over the Swaro Laser Guide because of the narrow laser dispersion. I was a little concerned after reading reports of some units functioning far worse than others. In one thread I found, the OP sent a CRF 1600B back to CameraLand NY as it would not range...

CameraLand has a Zeiss Diascope 85 FL angle body for $1300. Pick up an eyepiece and you're good to go. Zeiss - Camera Land NY Joe

I recently received my new annealer from Giraud. http://www.giraudtool.com/annealer1.htm I ordered it a few months back, and in the meantime I had looked up an old friend who coincidentally is now into shooting (BR) and has an annealer, once of the turntable style units. I considered cancelling...

A few days ago I had a sudden urge to paint my stock. It's an HS Precision Police stock that was given to me by a very generous Hide member months back, and it's been wearing my AAC-SD ever since. It arrived with camo paint, a base color and what looked like a faux-finish (sponge or rag?)...

I sold my March 3-24x42 to a hide member. I needed to free up some $$$, and I figured I'd replace it with a Bushnell ET 3-12 or SWFA 3-15, something like that under $1k. When I started looking around, I found some deals from Hide advertisers. Eurooptics has some Steiners marked down to...

Anyone here have experience with a Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12x44, specifically with turret tracking? I've used several ET scopes (6-24x50, DMR, XRS) and the tracking in all of these were accurate and repeatable. Last week I watched a video series where the author claimed that his ET...

FN replaced my original FNAR (20" standard barrel) which just did not shoot. The rifle carries a 1 MOA 3 shot guarantee, which it would not do with Federal GMM or handloads with 168 SMKs. With military ammo it was terrible, 3 MOA or so. It was also a weapon that I could not shoot unsupported...

FN finally sent me a replacement for my FNAR that I could not get to meet their 1 MOA guarantee. Apparently they could not get it to shoot, either. There is no access from the breech on this weapon. I know we are always supposed to clean from the chamber to the muzzle, but with this weapon...
