    Rifle Scopes TA11 vs. Elcan SpectreDR 1.5-6

    Given the choice between those two I would go with the Elcan. A few years back I had a Trijicon TA-11 and my buddy had an Elcan 1-4x so we took some pictures. The glass and clarity is definitely better on the Elcan than the Trijicon, and the ability to dial back the magnification was very nice...

    Fieldcraft Jet stoves which one?

    The MSR Pocket Rocket stove is good if you're in a sheltered location, but those type of stoves suck if it's breezy. I see MSR now makes a system similar to the JetBoil and they are great when you're out in the wind. Those built-in wind screens are so much better than trying to get a piece of...

    What upper build for new USMC recruit?

    Reeljob: I don't know if it's the same for the Marines as it was for the Army (in 2004 anyway), but in boot camp we had to memorize all sorts of things - Infantryman's Creed, General Orders, Army Song, Chain of Command from Platoon Sergeant all the way up to the president, etc. Most of these...

    What upper build for new USMC recruit?

    I'm sure PMI's know their stuff, but this idea that learning how to shoot outside of Marine boot camp will somehow ruin you with bad habits is totally ridiculous... :rolleyes:

    What upper build for new USMC recruit?

    Disagree....being familiar with the AR platform and being able to shoot it accurately is definitely an advantage in boot camp. When I went through Army infantry training it was significantly less stressful because I knew how to make all my own sight adjustments, was able to zero in half the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex No Longer Doing Reticle Swaps?

    Sell it, and buy what you want. Probably will lose less than $300 in the deal.

    Advanced Marksmanship Speed Drop - Colby Hodnett

    This math stuff makes my head hurt...I use a Sharpie and either write my come-ups on the side of my stock, or on one of those PVC patches that are sold in the SniperHide PX. Significantly faster than trying to do even basic math when you're in a hurry. Once you use your come-up chart a few times...

    One .308 to rule them all

    I realize it falls outside the scope of your original question, but have you considered an AR-15 shooting heavy bullets like the 75gr-77gr Mk262 clones? I owned a shorty AR-10 once, and will never go back down that road again. I wanted the AR-10 to work - I wanted the ultimate do-all rifle...

    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    FWIW I like Eberlestock stuff - they're well built and have convenient features but they are HEAVY. You're talking 8-10lbs for the the pack alone, before you've even put a single item in it. You've got a pretty minimal loadout as is, but if you can find anyway to cut down on the amount of...

    Winter/ski jacket recommendations

    Deals can be had on Arcteryx stuff if you look. I bought a brand new set (still had tags) of Arcteryx LEAF Alpha top/bottoms for like $400 on eBay. Arcteryx often cleans out last years inventory at heavily discounted prices
