    My new Stiller 2500XR

    Dennis why would you sell that to Lloyd when we can't stay ahead of him now. If I'd known this was in the works I would have bought it just to keep things even. It is a fine rifle!

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    My LGS got a 5-25 FFP mil in yesterday, the owner is a good friend so we played with it after work. Glass is better than the Gen. 1 PST for sure. The weather was cloudy with mist so couldn't really give it a fair evaluation. The turrets are nice as is the mag ring. The finish didn't bother me...

    Spotter with a reticle in MOA

    Us Optics made a moa FFP spotter, not sure they still do. It is in your price range. I have one and they work fine, some didn't care for the long eye relief but it never bothered me.

    Rifle Scopes NF NXS compared to Vortex AMG

    I have both scopes and it's kind of an apples and oranges deal. AMG has better glass, little more mag, FFP, I like the reticle better but really not a deal breaker, costs more. The NF is a nice scope I've used for F-class and works well for that discipline. If this is your last scope for a while...

    Dirty suppressors affect accuracy/precision negatively.

    I've seen accuracy affected negatively with both center fire and rimfire. If you ever weigh a suppressor before cleaning and after you'll see how much build up there is, or compare to advertised weight of new unused suppressor. We're talking many ounces of build up. I've had good results using...

    Fact check my plan, .308 vs. 6.5 Creedmoor, gas gun?

    The rub comes with running suppressed, I've seen mixed results using semi's suppressed, inconsistent POI, banged up brass, poor accuracy, dirty mags, etc. Have seen some of these problems resolved with adjustable gas blocks, bolt carrier weights, different loads, guess what I'm saying is it's a...

    6mm Dasher

    Started out using 8208 XBR in 6 Dasher and haven't seen a reason to change. When first developing a load I ran everything over a chrono and around 31 gr. the SD's were single digits and continued up to max which was 33.5 for that rifle (Quick load shows max at 32.0 using the Amax). Settled on...

    Standing Prone?

    Have noticed the "slight change to zero" when shooting in a similar position, I and others always shoot high (not much less than a moa) when confronted with this position. Any thoughts on why?

    Rifle Scopes Riddle me this on two shooters one rifle instruction

    I'm puzzled like the rest of you, seems like a big difference in poi. You would see if he were jerking the trigger or flinching that much. Every once in a while you'll run across that one person who is not able to crasp or perform what is needed to shoot well. I've done several woman on target...

    Anyone Use an Actual AR Lower to Build a 22AR Anymore?

    Nordic 18" upper on whatever lower is free. Very accurate, eats subs, standard, and high velocity rounds. Usually shot suppressed, and will run a long time between cleanings. It has taken a lot of varmints.

    Rifle Scopes Advice please....USO 3.2-17X44 LR-17 or NF F1 3.5-15x50 for same money?

    Run both NF F1 and USO scopes along with Kahles and Steiner. My first "high end" scope was a USO and it never needed any repair. Out of the six I've owned I had to send one back as it had the wrong reticle in it and wasn't to scale. Never had an issue with any of the others. The NF scopes have...

    Suppressors Cleaning a sealed can with Stainless Media

    I've had really good results using Simple Green cut 50/50 with water in an ultrasonic cleaner. Try and run the can through about every 1000 rounds, have seen accuracy issues if I don't clean it. Recently found a carbon cleaner (Schaeffer's Citrol degreaser) that I spray in and it foams up the...

    Rifle Scopes FFP or SFP scope for F Class

    Using a NF NXS 5.5-22X50 for F-class. Seems about right for power with the conditions that are usual for the area. You can pick up a used one at the price point mentioned, mine was used when I bought it and I've had no issues. You need to be able to see scoring rings, not hard at 600 but can get...

    Rifle Scopes Question regarding adjustment range of Steiner Military 5-25x56

    The mechanical zero may not be correct. Bought a Steiner 4X-16X-50mm G2 Mil-Dot Rifle Scope MPN 5416 a few months ago and when I tried to zero it on a rifle with a 20 moa rail it lacked almost a full mil getting low enough (bottomed out 3" high at 100 yd.) Had the full 19 mil up available. Sent...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    The STI I run is as close to 100% as is possible for anything mechanical. There is a reason most of the top IPSC and 3 Gun competitors run STI, SVI, or some form of a 1911. You will see the rare Glock in the top 20, it's usually the same guy that is dedicated to the Glock (sponsored). As you can...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    On page 15 of the Glock owners manual I have it states in bold red letters: The use of reloaded ammunition will void the Glock warranty. I got one of the first 2000 Glock 17's brought into the U. S., still have it. Shot many a match with it, moved to a 35 and shot it for a couple years until...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    Chamber is over sized, unsupported on bottom, at least on the 40's so the brass gets swelled. If you reload (I know not supposed to shoot reloads in a Glock, add that to the dislikes.) then you have an extra step to get the brass in shape. Have changed the barrels out on mine to solve this...
