Great Things Are Happening At Camera Land

Since returning from SHOT Show last month we have been working actively with our suppliers to get in newly announced product, get our hands on end of life product to offer you on deals, Demos as well as As New Open Box opportunities.

We are doing our best to have a steady available inventory of DNT NightVision and Thermals, GPO Centuri Riflescopes, all the newest Athlon Riflescopes, Swarovski Z5+ & Z5i+ Riflescopes, Zeiss Binoculars and V Series Riflescopes as well as Tangent Theta Riflescopes. We've got huge orders in with Arken and get deliveries a couple of times a week. Some scopes are on backorder at this time, however, we are accepting pre-orders and will ship as soon as they arrive.

We have placed our largest order ever for a newly announced product. The new Athlon Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph has got to be THE MOST ANTICIPATED new product that was shown this year at SHOT Show. Athlon expects the 1st delivery to be in the next 3-5 weeks and we are accepting pre-orders.
"New for 2025, Athlon makes ballistic calculations easy with the Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph. It picks up the projectiles via Doppler radar, thus eliminating the need to mount the Rangecraft Velocity Pro to the weapon. This means it won’t affect your zeroing or barrel harmonics, so your accuracy remains the same. Since the unit isn’t triggered by a muzzle blast, it can pick up on projectiles from firearms with suppressors, muzzle breaks, compensators, and other muzzle devices. The Rangecraft Velocity Pro can measure projectile velocity between 65 fps and 5000 fps, allowing users to measure the velocity of a massive assortment of projectiles."

We are excited about the deals we made happen with Hawke on their optics. You really should take a look and familiarize with Hawke. Great products, priced below what you'd expect.

Things to watch out for in your new gun…

After reading of a gent purchasing a firearm with no rifling, I thought I’d offer the following observations.
1. I recently purchased an aftermarket barrel that had very obvious flaws in the rifling, along with scratches on the exterior. This was still factory wrapped from Green Mountain.
2. I purchased 2 Thompson Center Classics when they were first released. One had a burr during deep hole boring, a nice spiral cut from one end to the other. They rifled the bore over this which ended up with lands that had cuts through them deeper than the grooves!
The other example blew steel out of the extractor groove (cut too thin), but the unsupported cases never ruptured. They next range trip accuracy failed, and on examination I found the front sight mounting screw hole was drilled too deep, the steel failed, blowing up into this recess.
3. At the public range I was “the rimfire guy” and received several Savage/Lakefield bolt actions purchased by the club to degrease and sight in for a youth program. Every single one had the same issue- the front sight which dovetailed into the barrel from the side was cut too deep and actually squished the rifling inwards, accuracy was non-existent.
4. When Ruger first released the 77/22 series, I just had to have one. My first had the receiver recess for the barrel tenon cast/drilled at a severe angle. This was so bad, they cut the face of the receiver at an angle so there wouldn’t be a gap showing the tenon. Problem was, not only was it impossible to sight in a 1” scope due to insufficient windage, but the barrel rode up the left side of the stock inletting.
Thinking this had to be a one-off mistake, I went to a fully stocked Ruger dealer in another state. There on the shelf was a whole row of vertically standing 77/22s of various models. I had the clerk hand me several examples and showed a friend, asking did he see anything wrong. Colorful language ensued as when you saw it you couldn’t not see it on every example on the rack.
5. I’ve already charted the issue I found with my Springfield 2020 (muzzle bulged the length of the thread cover), I have noted this on 2 aftermarket 10/22 barrels, so apparently threading is not just about alignment.
6. I purchased an IntraTec Tec-22 NIB, cleaned and took to the range. During the first magazine the gun ceased to fire. I found that the bolt and firing pin were both so soft they had completely deformed and couldn’t dent the case. Ordered replacement parts and the magazine feed lips wore to non-function on the 3rd loading.
7. Purchased a Kimber of Oregon 82 Super America, receiver was polished so out of round and different front to rear, you couldn’t mount a scope the rings were so misaligned.
Took a chance on a 82 Blue Mountain Classic. While cycling the first mag, I realized they cut the bolt guide groove too long, which allowed the lugs to clear the receiver and you could easily accidentally drop the bolt handle causing cosmetic damage. Took one final chance on a Special Edition Varmint fluted Stainless (KOA, Oregon addy), this was a flawless 4 shot repeater, but the bore was very oversized its entire length. I’ve since read this was a common issue.
8. I received a ‘95 Ruger 10/22 stainless laminate as a Christmas gift, receiver was cracked at the recoil pin. Never fired.
I should also point out, if you slug every example of factory taper 10/22 barrel, an enormous percentage have reverse taper bores, the tightest part is at the chamber lead, after that the slug just rattles down the bore.
9. 2 different examples of AMT Ruger 10/22 clones (Small Game Hunter, and SGH II) with very obvious rifling chatter (still have one of the barrels).

I’ll stop here for now, but I could go on and on. Study your prospective purchases carefully!

Rifle Scopes Bushnell Match Pro ED 3-18 & other budget scopes

I have been interested in picking one up to try out. For the money vs features it looks pretty good, but I can’t find any real world reviews from people who own them. Curious how they stack up against the 5-30 variant, or similarly (to slightly more expensive) priced scopes such as the Athlon Ares ETR / BTR Gen3, Athlon Cronus, DMR3, or Leupold MK4 HD.

I consider these more of a budget scope & haven’t really owned any, less the DMR line up to the Pro (haven’t owned a DMR3 yet). I am scaling down my firearms investments significantly so this is a new world for me.

Initially the scope will be on my Vudoo 22lr so short range parallax correction is a factor, but once I find a scope I like I will get another for a centerfire. To me the tracking and repeatability is most important, followed by a forgiving eye box at high magnification, then optical quality / performance. I rather have a scope that is mechanically sound with a very forgiving eye box than really good glass or no tunneling at lower magnification.

Thoughts?

Idaho chem trails, WTF?

Yesterday evening we watched these start at the Montana / Idaho border and go through N Idaho to the Washington border. This has been a terrible year for growing. Home gardens along with big farms have had a really poor turnout. All the sunflowers I see are facing away from the sun. { have photos} The Governor should grab his balls and have the NG shoot these enemy aircraft down. I can't believe there are so many retards that try to explain these away.

wtf is with the gatekeeping?

I can't remember how many times I've seen myself or others post a question to a forum (here and elsewhere) and the responses generally tend to be some form of "you didn't satisfy my completely subjective and arbitrary requirements for figuring this out on your own so instead of being helpful I'm going to be a condescending dickface to a stranger on the internet to help ease my own insecurities and try to look cool", that then get blindly upvoted by fellow insecure asshats.

Does this happen in every hobby? Are people really that arrogant and dependent on others' approval or is shooting really just 85% assholes with a few decent folks sprinkled in? I hope this isn't just another once enjoyable thing that has been ruined by the anonymity of the internet and hairy knuckled cavemen typing away in their mom's basement.
