TBG 80 from Optolyth with Mil based Reticle.

It seems like every week there are constant calls in the forum here at Sniper's Hide about a spotting scopes with reticle that will match our rifle scopes. For the longest time the only choices for the US shooter to get a spotting scope with a reticle built in was from Leupold in their Tactical Spotter line. At the time you were able to get that spotter with a Mil Dot reticle and then later from Premier with a GEN II upgrade. Several years later Zeiss began importing their Mil Reticle eyepiece into the US for their Sport Optic Spotter the 65 T. It seems strange considering for how long the sniper / spotter combination has been taught as the standard way of doing business. Yet there was a huge gap in the market for a spotter with reticle to match our rifles.

The NEW Huber Concepts® Tactical Patent Pending for the Remington 700®

At this years Shot Show, I was introduced to John Huber of Huber Concepts. During the show he introduced me to his Remington replacement Tactical Trigger, a simple drop in unit that I just couldn't wait to get my hands on. Ever the fan of the 2 Stage Trigger it was something my Remington Tactical Rifles were lacking, as I usually opted for a GA Precision Tuned version of anything else, mainly stock Remington triggers. Most of the aftermarket triggers out there don't hold up very well to the use and abuse we put our rifles through. In fact I would venture to say a faulty trigger is our second biggest problem we see down on the range at Rifles Only. The fine sand and grit tear the mechanisms up and the bolt guns go down failing to cock, or dropping the hammer when the bolt is closed. We see it a lot so a good tactical strength trigger is always in demand from us.
