    Sidearms & Scatterguns Leaning hard towards a SW M&P 9mm.

    Re: Leaning hard towards a SW M&P 9mm. I have and really like my M&P 9mm compact (upgraded with Apex bits) that I've had for several years. However, I'm also aware of concern in certain circles with the accuracy (especially with the 9mm FS, iirc) due to apparent recent manufacturing changes...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint Micro T-1 problem...dot isnt really a dot

    Re: Aimpoint Micro T-1 problem...dot isnt really a dot Rotate the optic -- if the shape of the dot rotates with the optic then it could be something with the Aimpoint... ...but more than likely the dot will stay the same, which means you have astigmatism. Go see an optometrist and get...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver vs. Vortex?? Opinions?

    Re: Weaver vs. Vortex?? Opinions? Hi Speed: Curious re: Viper or Viper PST -- two quite different animals. I've been quite pleased with my Viper PST (will step up, probably to a Razor at some point -- but really just as a luxury). The PST does everything I need it to for tactical style...

    Range Report am i the only one frustrated (ballistic programs)

    Re: am i the only one frustrated (ballistic programs) It has simply evolved, much like the technology itself. Smart phones have become the norm (you know that's the case when your retired 60 year old non tech-savy parents parents first dropped their land lines, then upgraded from plain cell...

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! While I'm here, reminds me that I was stewing on a couple of feature requests a while back: - A global option to override the phone's screen-timeout while the HUD is up (able to set to a custom value, or "never turn screen off" would be...

    Hunting & Fishing Where do you leave your guts and scraps?

    Re: Where do you leave your guts and scraps? I haven't big game hunted in a while, but growing up we'd always leave our guts, etc. Or if boning it out the whole carcass. We'd of course try to harvest everything that was practical. Yotes/bears/birds/etc will take care of the ikcy stuff in...

    Re: 338 lm going sub sonic before 1k?? Been plugging some numbers with your info (I like geeking out on this stuff)... Just guessing at atmospheric conditions in your neck of the woods, I put your muzzle velocity at around 2575fps, and around 1740 fps @ 800 yards, so velocity wise you are...

    Gunsmithing The absolute best firearm finish

    Re: The absolute best firearm finish Sounds to me like a Nickel Boron Nitride treatment might be what you are looking for -- I don't know the specs off the top of my head, but I know it is very hard, doesn't need lubrication, can treat inside and out, and is very corrosion resistant...

    Rifle Scopes Not sure my PST is tracking right EDIT: It is!!!

    Re: Not sure my PST is tracking right I'm with Tomcat, you have far too many unknowns. Remove all the variables and test it optically. Fairly easy way: Set up dots a along a straight line at 3.6 inch intervals -- set up at exactly 100 yards. Bag of the rifle good and hold it steady, and...

    Gunsmithing 260 Lapua

    Re: 260 Lapua Thanks for this thread. About to be snagging a reamer for .260 + Lapua brass, so this is incredibly timely. Can anybody confirm whether I am correct in guessing that a 139 Scenar and 142 SMK will have very similar COAL if seated the same depth in relation to the L&Gs?

    Vectronix PLRF05 pics

    Re: Vectronix PLRF05 pics Sigh. I know it's possibly a no-go for .mil purposes... but I'd really like to see somebody step up with a good LRF that does Bluetooth (RS-232 is so 1960s!). Device/Software + BT Kestrel + BT LRF = Firing solution with one button press, and no cables to deal with.
