    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 10-40 x 56

    Drat! I checked on line and the price is really $430, not $230. Still the best price I've found so far, though, so if I decide to go this way Camera Land is probably where I'll buy. Much obliged!

    Thanks again. If Camera Land has one for anywhere near $230 I'll snap it up!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 10-40 x 56

    Thanks for the response! Where in heck did you get one for $230? I was looking at one on Optics Planet for about twice that and it was advertised as being a big sale price! Is yours the Athlon Argos BTR Gen II 10-30 x 56?

    Has anybody tried one of these scopes? I'm considering one for rimfire bench rest 50 and 100 yds. I'd very much like to hear your opinion.

    .199 Cleaning rod in a precision .22lr?

    Does Lucas make bore guides for .22 LR? I tried to buy one a few years ago and was told they didn't make them.

    Vudoo gen 1 vs gen 2

    I think it's a lot easier to tell with a gun that doesn't shoot very well than it is with one that does.

    Old People. Everywhere

    My parents (and millions more) lived through the Great Depression and WWII. It doesn't get much tougher than that, in this country anyway. I'm appalled at the boorish, insensitive attitude displayed by some posters on this forum toward the old folks. Maybe you slept thru your history classes...

    Using the Lapua rimfire test facility / shipping lesson learned!

    Your choice. I wouldn't do that myself, especially when it's so unnecessary.

    Using the Lapua rimfire test facility / shipping lesson learned!

    I forgot to add that an individual can only ship a handgun via UPS or Fedex via overnight air, and it must go to an FFL.

    Using the Lapua rimfire test facility / shipping lesson learned!

    I assume you're not buying extra insurance, right? If you lie about what's in the box and something bad happens to your shipment I suspect there might be a problem collecting. The helluvvit is that it's so unnecessary when it's perfectly legal to ship a firearm so long as you comply with a few...

    Using the Lapua rimfire test facility / shipping lesson learned!

    Unless there are stricter state laws that complicate matters, long guns (rifles & shotguns) can be shipped via USPS. You don't have to be an FFL to do this, and your gun can be shipped directly back to you. They may also go UPS or Fedex ground and may still be shipped back to you, but USPS is...

    .22LR Optic

    Midwayusa has the Sightron S1 Rimfire Hunter 3-9 x 32 scope on sale for $120. These are very nice, simple rimfire scopes with good optics and with parallax set at 50 yards. I've had a couple of these and consider them an excellent value. Perfect for a new shooter. 50-yd parallax will work...

    Vudoo-22 and Athlon Ares ETR

    I ordered mine about 6 weeks ago, and just received notification mine was finished and would ship Monday. It was delayed for a bit awaiting the special angled grip I wanted, which just arrived at Vudoo yesterday. I'm happy.

    Newbie looking for advice on cz457 barrel choices.

    Ditto. I have a Lilja 18" on my 455 Tactical and it's the bee's knees. 50-yd groups in the 2s & 3s are commonplace. I picked the Lilja over other fine barrels 'cuz I could set the headspace.
