    Rifle Scopes Opinion of Konus M30 6.5-25X44 Scope Wanted

    Re: Opinion of Konus M30 6.5-25X44 Scope Wanted I have quite a few Konus scopes, and you get a lot for your money. The 6.5-25x44 has 1/8 MOA elevation and windage. Illumination is blue. I dealt with their customer service once and they were very responsive, sending me a brand new scope...

    Re: Kestral 4500NV with Horus ATRAG & Blue Tooth - Int GB-Maryland, Many thanks for all your efforts sharing info with the gang here on S.H. I was looking into upgrading to a BT model on my Kestrel, but certainly won't given the grief you've been put through. Send the trash back and get...

    Gunsmithing $50 Hillbilly Gun Oven

    Re: $50 Hillbilly Gun Oven Thanks for posting this. I've seen a few plans for these online. Did you consider putting in a small fan to circulate the air? I'm wondering if the fan would only be necessary if you didn't have the opening in-between the hotplate and the pipe. Thanks again.

    Botachtactical

    Re: Botachtactical Nothing new at Botach. Same old shitty / non-existent customer support. I was dumb enough to place an order in September with Botach and 3 weeks later not a single thing has shipped. Of course they charged my credit card right away. AVOID!!

    Re: Horus Talon 1-4x24 opinions I've actually had more issues with my USO scopes than with my Horus scopes. That said, USO has great customer service.

    Rifle Scopes Horus Talon 1-4x24 opinions

    Re: Horus Talon 1-4x24 opinions I just received a Blackbird yesterday. Very impressive. Reticle is awesome. Glass is very clear. One year warranty is pathetic. Hope I don't need it. I've only seen one issue on the 8 or so Horus scopes I've had/have. One, maybe six years old (no idea...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics 5-25 vs 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer

    Re: US Optics 5-25 vs 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer Hey Biker, Thanks for sharing this. I really got a kick out of this one: "The group was no screamer at around 1moa, but that's about as well as I hold after I just ran over my rifle." Cheers.

    Rifle Scopes Konus M30 or Vortex Viper

    Re: Konus M30 or Vortex Viper I've yet to look through a Vortex. I've been impressed with the Konus M30's I own. Got one bad one out of say 8, and their C.S. was incredible -- they paid to ship the bad one back, and rushed a new one to me. Blue illumination is nice. Glass is good for the...

    Rifle Scopes Totally disgusted with Leupold

    Re: Totally disgusted with Leupold I had the opportunity to compare a high-end Leupold vs. a $300 Konus M-30 and guess what, the glass was notably better on the Konus M-30! If you're going to get Chinese stuff, it makes sense to only pay Chinese prices. And, Konus support is very good if...

    Rifle Scopes Springfield Armory 1st Gen scope question

    Re: Springfield Armory 1st Gen scope question Contact Springfield and get it fixed. I just looked at my 4-14 gen 1 and it is centered at all magnifications. The glass is very clear and the ranging is straight forward.
