    Possible S&B turret issue

    I got my first S&B Polar in this week and noticed that the windage turret has some slack at the end of its right hand travel at 4 mils The elevation turret has the slack when it is dialed all the way up. If i go 1 tenth back down it goes away. The movement is not there when the turret lock is...

    Schmidt & Bender Polar T96

    The Meopta is much brighter during the day but as the light fades the difference is not as clear. Sometimes I think the Meopta is brighter and then sometimes it looks like the vx5hd is the winner. One thing that has bothered me about the Meopta though is the lack of the side focus. During...

    Schmidt & Bender Polar T96

    I just need to know how much of a gain I'm likely to see compared to what I have now. If it's only going to give me a few more minutes then the cost is not going to be worth it. Also, would a lower magnification like the 2.5-10x50 or 3-12x54 transmit more light or is it about the same?

    Schmidt & Bender Polar T96

    I'm currently hunting with the Leupold VX5HD 3-15x44 and Meopta Meostar R2 2-12-50. I've always wanted a Polar but it's a lot of money. I'm looking for more light transmission and this is supposed to be one of the best. How much more hunt time will this get me and what magnification and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any Swiss Army Knife Fans?

    Great story, thanks for sharing. That pen has been so useful. When I use the pen I put it in the space where the hooks sits and close the hook back on top of it so I have a larger area to hold on to. I'll be buying a few more Swisschamp's this year for Christmas gifts.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any Swiss Army Knife Fans?

    A couple of years ago I started carrying a SAK in my pocket. I have found them to be the perfect pocket tool. I have had several Leatherman tools but I like the SAK more. I started with the Pioneer X and then got a few Cadet's and then a Farmer and a Fieldmaster. I found that sometimes I...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint micro mount for bolt action

    That's exactly what I want. I had a Aimpoint T2 on an AR15. I took it off to put on a bolt action for hunting season.

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint micro mount for bolt action

    308pirate is right. I'm want to try the Aimpoint micro by itself. I have a lot of places to hunt where I don't have over a 100 yard shot. The micro dot seems like a good choice for that type of hunting. I can take the picatinny base off of the rifle and go with a 11mm mount on the Tikka...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint micro mount for bolt action

    I want to try a micro red dot this year for deer season. I plan on trying it on a Tikka or a Ruger American Predator. What would the best way to mount it to the rifle? Both rifles already have a Picatinny scope base.

    Coffee Drinkers

    I started out with dark roast but I've moved to a light roast and sometimes a medium and only drink coffee black. I really enjoy single origin coffee with fruity notes from Africa but this Guatemala was very good also. The chemex really brings out the fruit. Thanks for the coffee...

    Coffee Drinkers

    I have got into coffee this year and just wanted to see what everyone here was drinking. I started with Black Rifle Coffee Company and then got into grinding my own and wanted to try a bunch of other roasters. Since then I've tried Texas Coffee Traders, Counter Culture, Kickapoo and Vertere...

    Tikka vs XLR

    I went with the CTR and the XLR Envy . I also put in a Timney 2 stage trigger. A friend has the Tac A1 and I much prefer the XLR and the AICS magazines.
