    Anybody on here who is NOT an AARP member take up the snowbird life?

    From a life experience perspective, it may be worth it for you-- in terms of financially preparing yourself for 'retirement age', in my opinion it would be a terrible financial decision. You'd be pulling funds out of something that (generally) appreciates and dumping it into something that...

    Rifle Scopes What do you want in a scope?? (Think outside the box!)

    Limiting to things I haven't seen mentioned yet: Possibly feasible: 'Instant' zoom toggle from remote switch (low to high zoom without hands having to leave the rifle). ie, scan for target at min zoom, once target in-scope, tap the switch to zoom in, engage target, tap to zoom back out and...

    Suppressors SBR stamp no longer needed..........

    Most of y'all know this, but just a caution for those who may not be fully up on these matters (IANAL, research this stuff yourself and/or via a real lawyer)-- more or less: to be legal it must have been originally transferred as a pistol or as a "receiver". If you purchased your AR as a...

    Labradar doppler chronograph

    I may have missed the "answer" in this thread, but I know several were asking about shooting with suppressors. I submitted the question via their website and got a prompt response:

    Rifle Scopes Is a 20x scope too much for engaging targets at under 600yds 75% of the time

    It depends on what kind of shooting you are doing. In many "tactical" style match stages where you are transitioning between far-apart targets and such under time pressure, I would say 'yes' -- for me 20x would take too long to "find" the targets (for < 600 yards in such situations, I'm...

    Pressure signs with shorter OAL??????

    Shorter seating decreases case volume which increases pressure. This goes over it a bit more... http://www.bergerbullets.com/effects-of-cartridge-over-all-length-coal-and-cartridge-base-to-ogive-cbto-part-1/

    NEW from XLR Industries CARBON chassis

    Hi Kyle, still rockin' my aluminum XLR, but definitely having thoughts about a carbon in the future. I realize it is very new and may or may not be super widely adopted beyond Magpul going forward, but have you given any consideration to a version of the carbon hand guard (or even the...

    Rifle Scopes Before sending my new Viper PST 6-24 FFP back to manufacturer

    Yeah, perfectly level (confirmed by plumb line, etc) reticles always appear canted to me, but opposite direction depending on which side I shoulder the rifle -- I think it is an optical illusion that happens because our heads are generally canted somewhat when we shoulder a rifle... I do...

    tactical pants

    If you want something super lightweight/cool yet durable, check out Rail Riders VersaTac-light pants (their new Bushwhacker pants look great too if you don't love the cargo pant thing).

    Nikon M308 No more adjustment left to properly site in scope.

    Looks like the scope is sold with a 20moa mount -- make sure you didn't install the mount backwards (ie, the scope in the mount should be tilted slightly forward with respect to the rifle).
