    Rifle Scopes Found, thanks!

    Looking for a trim metal throw lever and parallax enhancement ring for a Kahles 5x25i scope. This is one I saw on a scope that recently sold on SH. Can anyone help ID this logo?

    SHOT Show Attire?

    I'm headed to SHOT this year for the first time. I keep seeing posts referring to "khaki wearing ninjas" and the "khaki clad hordes" posted by presumed SHOT vendors. I admit to having a few pairs of khaki pants in my closet and until now, never worried about being sited by the fashion police...

    No love for the .243 Win.?

    I have been curious for a while as to why there are no ELD-type factory loads for the .243. I know the caliber has a reputation as a barrel burner when pushed, but the .243 is a very common deer cartridge (at least in the midwest), thus would be readily available for someone interested in trying...

    Rifle Scopes Tips for reseating NF Elevation Turret caps?

    I am up in the mountains of CO out of phone service, so I can't call NF for help. Can someone tell me how to get the elevation turret cap to seat the last 1/4" or so after zeroing the scope and setting the zero stop on a NF NXS 8x32 MOA scope? I have other NXS' and ATACR's and this has been a...

    Does anyone make a "wing" or adapter to mount both a spotter and LRF (and possibly a Kestrel) to my Manfrotto ball mount/tripod?

    Trying to avoid buying and hauling another tripod. Surely someone makes a multi-mount Arca type extended plate like the MUB Wing only with a tripod mount instead of a pic rail. I have looked on the different camera sites until my eyes glazed over.

    Why does Rock River Arms seem to get little love on SH?

    Just curious as to why I don't see more mention of Rock River rifles here on The Hide. My first AR was a Rock River and I now have them in several calibers. (I also have other brands, eg. Seekins 6.5, Ray-Vin .17 HMR, And. 6.5GR etc. that I shoot personally and enjoy). I have been very happy...

    Measuring 100 Yard Range-From chamber or end of barrel?

    This has got to be the dumbest question I have ever asked on here (and I did do a search prior to posting). I have set up several 100 yard ranges over the years and just place the front of the bench at the 100 yd. line. A flood recently took out my current bench and as I was replacing it, I got...

    Custom Cheek Rests?

    I have misplaced the contact info for the person who converts McMillan/Manners stocks into the adjustable cheek piece version stocks. I know Terry Cross makes the hardware for this application, but not sure who will do the actual conversion. Can someone please refresh my memory? Thanks!

    How do I Re-establish my old hide/Scout hide history, if possible?

    I realize I need 100+ posts to post on the PX and I had that on the previous Hides, I was also a subscriber. Can I re-establish those in some way? Thanks!

    AR Type Safety for a Benelli M2 Shotgun?

    I recently read the description of a new product release that was an AR type replacement safety for a Benelli M2 shotgun. I thought I saved it, but can't find the article/ad. If anyone else saw this ad, or better yet, has used one of these, could you please point me towards a source? Growing up...

    Gun mounted video camera recommendations?

    I would like to be able to video hog hunting and shooting prairie dogs with a gun mounted camera. Hog hunting would not be through a scope, just regular video, but shooting from a vehicle, off-road, at speed, can be pretty rough on equipment, so would need to be pretty sturdy & hopefully pic...

    Rifle Scopes Does anyone make ring insets to convert 34 mm. rings to a 30 mm. scope?

    I have an extra couple of Larue 34 mm ring/mounts & thought I might use them with a 30 mm. scope if anyone made reducer inserts. I am familiar with Larue & PRI's 300 mm. to 1" inserts, but haven't found any larger ones. May have to just sell the 34's & get a 30 mm. mount. Thanks for any help.

    Swarovski 8x30 Rangefinder Problem

    Arrived at a recent prairie dog hunt to find my 8x30's inoperable. The button was down and would not come back up. Put in a new battery to no avail. Been waiting a few days for Swaro customer service to respond. They traveled in their custom padded case in my range bag on top of other equipment...

    Want a Jewell trigger for a Rem. 204 VSSF

    Just got a Rem. 700 VSSFII in .204 for another prairie dog rifle. Trigger is way too heavy with no apparent adjustment screw. Thought I would replace it with a Jewell, but can't find a source. Brownell's, Midway & Scotty's are all backordered. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Suggestions for a .17 MHR Semi-auto

    I have a CZ 452 .17 HMR Varmint that I recently put to good use on a prairie dog hunt. The landowner was encouraging as close to an eradication as I could get. Question: A semi-auto .17 HMR would have been great in this situation & I am looking for some suggestions. I know there are some Ruger...

    Anyone familiar with the Swarovski STM 65 20-60 spotting scope?

    One of our local big box stores has the above mentioned scope marked down to $1299 from $1799. I assume they are clearing inventory to make way for the new HD version of the same scope. I would like to upgrade from a Leupold 15-45. The spotter would be used for prairie dog hunting and spotting...
