    Rifle Scopes Athlon argos 8-34 reticle turning?

    I bought an argos a while back, and have only shot it enough to be initially impressed. I was comparing it to my new pst gen 2 when I noticed the argos reticle twists back and forth when changing magnification. Now, I know the argos is arguably junk, but would this be considered defective...

    Suppressors Dakota silencer varminter 4.0?

    Is the baffle removal tool approved by mack brothers, and is the warranty still good if one were to disregard the manufactures instructions? Typically warranties in this industry are voided if a product is used outside of the manufactures instructions.

    Suppressors Dakota silencer varminter 4.0?

    How often do you all clean your varmint 4.0? Mac Bros says they need to be cleaned every 50-100 rounds. I'm not thrilled with the idea of cleaning a silencer every shoot.

    Conex ballistic charts?

    I called today, and the lady didn't seem too happy. She said it was removed from the website because they thought everyone would use their new ballistic app instead. She said she gets a lot of calls about it, and she didn't know if or when it will be back on the website. attached is the pdf...

    Conex ballistic charts?

    I got a reply today, and the only thing in the email was this link. I think they are trying to pull some Jedi mind tricks or something http://www.bushnell.com/all-products/laser-rangefinders/ballistic-charts

    Psycho Animal in CO in jail now

    I never said he needs to live, I just don't see the point in torturing him. Ask if he has any last words, give him one minute to speak if he'd like, then shoot him in the head. Pretty simple really.

    Psycho Animal in CO in jail now

    I think there is way too much emotion here. Do you honestly think this guy was of sound mind, and he is just a monster? More than likely he went bat shit crazy for whatever reason. I had a family member that went Schizo. He went from normal to crazy violent in a month. Yes it is a horrible...

    Conex ballistic charts?

    I did send them an email. I have never used the charts before, but I sure looked like an idiot when I tried to use it. It's not like it is 10 years old. I would expect better support than that.

    Conex ballistic charts?

    Anyone know where to find the ballistic charts for the conex 1 mile? Clicking the link in the app goes to a 404 error, and I can't find it on their website. They definitely don't support customers very long.

    Reality check on new rifle

    It just seems strange that you can easily handle the recoil and muzzle blast of a featherweight 25-06, but struggle with a pistol. Not trying to be an ass, just a reasonable observation is all.

    What are the chances that is the cause of your flinch?

    Reality check on new rifle

    So basically, you shoot a 308 that has a felt recoil that is slightly heavier than a pencil barreled ar-15? My 25-06 weighs 6.5lbs bare with aluminum base and rings, and about a 1 pound scope. Maybe 8lbs total weight?

    Reality check on new rifle

    Maybe it is because I typically square up behind the rifle, as opposed to the more angled shoulders like shooting offhand? I know that works well to control recoil with an ar15. I guess it might be better if my shoulder moved rather than trying to absorb the recoil?

    Reality check on new rifle

    I can get 8 or 10 shots off at a bench with the 25-06 before it starts hurting too bad. I can do around 5 shot of 30-06. With the shotgun example I was able to go well over 100 rounds before I felt enough pain to have problems. I am guessing it is just the slower recoil pulse. Make no...

    Reality check on new rifle

    Thanks. If anything I would think it is bad technique or something. It is caused by the pain more than anything. During a string of fire I get more and more tense. I typically see the effects on paper and try very hard to relax and squeeze. That relaxed shot is usually good, but hurts way...

    I got pulled over.

    It all depends on the cops attitude as far as I'm concerned. It does make it harder for everyone when citizens don't exercise their rights occasionally. Refuse to answer their stupid "where you headed tonight" question , and they just melt down. Refuse to give them identification when they...

    Reality check on new rifle

    I agree with everything above. If it doesn't hurt, I have no problems. I am just debating on what combination would give me a chance to shoot long range while still being pleasant to shoot. I really don't want a 223, but I can gaurantee it wouldn't hurt.

    Reality check on new rifle

    You do bring up a good point that I will have to pay attention to. It really seems like it is pain related, or at least that's when I notice it. Maybe it is all just bad body position? I know that after 100+ rounds of slugs and double aught buck through a semi auto i started to miss the 100...

    Reality check on new rifle

    Where are all of these 223 bolt guns with an 8 twist? I was planning to buy one today, but the best I could find was 9 or slower.
