Is that the original MaTen upper?

never the less => nevertheless "...nevertheless (what?)." That's half of a sentence. "...what they're there for." 'For' is a preposition, as in don't-end-your-sentences-with-them. "...someone that..." Or 'someone who'? Would you like to guess which is correct? I'm not even trying...

High Density... Binocular Glossary Manufacturers have hopped onto the 'HD' marketing wagon, knowing full-well that people will misinterpret the acronym. In this case, I don't think it matters much though. HD, in terms of optics, might as well mean 'high definition' (a term which is already...

Funny how minds think alike... I have the same scope on the same Larue mount (though my mount doesn't push the scope as far forward). The power ring just barely, and I mean barely, clears the Troy BUIS. I also passed on the ERGO knob for this one. It'd seem a little silly to be cranking...

I'd be interested to see some tests. Something along the lines of removing the extractor from the bolt and firing off the last round in a mag. Do that on both a standard chamber and one with the cuts. Edited for carelessness*

I've been sizing up the new Gen 4 308 as a possible next purchase. But I have a few thoughts that I'd like to bounce off you guys. POF is introducing this new E(squared) chamber design, where the make four cuts in the neck chamber to allow the casing to break free for easier extraction. The idea...

The 5-25's description notes a 56mm obj. The specs list it as 50mm.

I've only owned two high-end scopes so far; a USO SN3 and the Steiner 4-16x50. They are both superb instruments and do exactly what I expect. The USO easily gets me to 600yds on the AR. And the Steiner is going to be tack sharp, out to the furthest distances that my 7mm Rem Mag can offer. Does...

All I'm suggesting is that he look at it with a critical eye (which he seems to be doing) and consider sending it back (which I wouldn't hesitate to do). Rifle scopes are no different than camera lenses or other mass-produced optics. And I wouldn't treat them any differently. Actually, I would...

It probably won't matter. But you probably also got a bad sample. I'd be concerned that other things may be wonky.

I shoot the USO 1.5-6 out to 600yds w/ no problems hitting 12" steel. My eye is 20/12 after LASIK and we're roughly the same age. That said, I agree w/ the comment on a BDC reticle for fast acquisition. The other way would be to develop your own load and then run the numbers to find your...

Picked up the last one at Amazon for $1499. Took them so long to ship it that I thought their inventory wasn't correct. It's en route. So I suppose that's good. I understand the subjective aspects to it. And I'd never knock someone's opinion of anything, especially when that person has more...

Radiospectrometer. I have a Photo Research PR-670 at my disposal and will take advantage of it, when my 4-16 arrives. With that, I can measure light loss as well as shifts in color temperature. As a general comment, I wish we'd start seeing of more this data being quantified (as it's all...

I placed an order at Amazon for the 4-16 on the 22nd. Said they only had 1 left @$1499. They've put a hold for that amount on my card. But as of today, it's still listed as 'preparing to ship'. Usually, they have it out the door on the same day. So I'm not holding my breath for this one. Suspect...

The word from WeatherHawk is that the WM-350 is made in China or Taiwan. Their weather stations are made in Utah. That was a mistake on my part, as I skimmed their literature... On the bright side, I received this reply from them, when inquiring as to how they'd go about handling a situation...

Fair enough. The Weatherhawk may also be prone to causing battery leakage and/or design flaws that could lead to catastrophic effects. That's one variable. And I'll let you know, as soon as I receive it. Another major variable is how Weatherhawk will service their customers... What is known is...

I just picked up a USO 1.5-6 off the list. There were some really nice choices up there in that focal length range (including a 1-6 Mark 6 for a couple hundy more). I was also thinking about something in the 3-15 range. I want to say that the Bushnell Tactical in 3-12 looks tempting, as does the...

Wow. Totally feel bad that this is my first post at the Hide. FWIW, I've been reading these threads for a long while now. Mostly just gathering data to make some informed decisions. Stumbled across this post by... sorry, actually had to go back into my browser history to remember... reading some...
