    Rifle Scopes Smaller, cheaper, sharper lenses should be possible as Mexican scientist solves aberration problem

    We looked at Mexico as a potential JV to manufacture complicated lens structures. They are not what they are perceived as at the higher levels. Cutting/forming these lenses as Koshkin said is a whole separate challenge separating theory from manufacturability. Thanks for the link I hadn’t seen...

    Hunting & Fishing Better footwear?

    Bought Danser SRFs when my leg was shattered and Dr said the only way to hunt/hike was tall supportive boots. Technically he said “You’re an idiot, I don’t recommend this” He also said I’d use a walker the rest of my life. F him I climb 6k ft a day with sheet verticals hunting. The SRFs never...

    Buyer not satisfied

    And before someone makes a dumb@ss comment about my lack of posts here go back to the old site. I have been a Member since the early-mid 2000s under the same name. I don't post on the new Scout site much.

    Buyer not satisfied

    VG to me is not a pitted inside or out. Doesn't matter the asking price. Seller stated condition. Good could be misconstrued 100 different ways. VG to me is close to perfect. Maybe some bluing wear on an old gun. Maybe a few scratches. VG is a standard used by most of us who sell guns to mean a...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Problem CS?

    The cheap scope posted a 3/4"group at 30 yards with the Marauder so it is definitely the scope. Need to try and figure out where to send it.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Problem CS?

    This was shot at 20-25 yards. Hope it isn't that limited. I thought about a canted rail but really 25 yards. I am thinking something is wrong and just want to know who to get to check it out. I have heard Bushnell can be great but they can be difficult to. I have never owned an Elite and try and...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Problem CS?

    I put a 8-32 Elite 4200 on my PCP Marauder and it is shooting low at 25 yards with the elevation knob maxed out. I was recently hit by a car in a cross walk so was hoping to shoot this gun to keep sharp until I can get out of this darn wheelchair. Anyone have a contact there to get this fixed? I...

    This is the pic someone sent me. Not sure if I would do it or not. I like the Model 7 logo on the side and he only shaved 3 ounces with this.

    Gunsmithing Turning down an action ultralight

    Point taken. I was originally going to do the slab cut or send it to the place ( I forget there name) that cuts windows so to speak in the action behind the locking lug. I actually meant locking lugs and not the recoil log thanks for the correction. I have some pics I will load up tonight of...

    Gunsmithing Turning down an action ultralight

    I realize this is not the norm on here but I am wanting to turn down a Model 7 action to shave some weight for an ultralight build. Someone emailed me some pics of one that was turned down behind the lug. Just wondering if any here have tried this and how far dow nthe ycan be turned. I realize I...

    Hunting & Fishing Largest animal killed with a 22lr

    Funny alot of people say shoot a whitetail between the eyes and they will drop. Much more to it than that head position is critical as is patience. If they are looking up it is below the eye line if they are tilted a little it is between the eye and the ear and requires quite abit of anatomy...

    Hunting & Fishing Shooting and eating Bear

    Had it on a pig cooker once along side a pig. It was a juvenile and tasted pretty good. I prefer to make a roast out of it. I do have to agree though it is one of my all time favorite meats.

    Marlin XT-22VR user review.

    Re: Marlin XT-22VR user review. I handled one at the show over the weekend. I really like the way it fits my hand and the groove in the stock where I always rest my thumb. I wish it carried over to their laminate stocks.
