    Night Vision Question About Clip On Night / Thermal Vision

    wigwamtimus, I'm also researching thermal NV for hogs and coyotes. Here in the Carolinas, most shots will be well within 200 yards for my needs, so your description is giving me plenty of good information. 2 questions if you don't mind.... First, you mention 'using the critter as the...

    Polycarbonate is not very clear. Look into trivex. Super clarity( close to glass) , but superior impact resistance. Best, Will

    What color lens in shooting glasses? Rudy's need new RX..

    Yeah, another way to look at it is that we spend big $$$ on riflescopes for high levels of light transmission, and then some folks put on glasses that cut down on light transmission...... YMMV, Will

    What color lens in shooting glasses? Rudy's need new RX..

    Guys, I'm learning precision rifle shooting, but I shoot clay targets pretty seriously. I'm working with a very advanced sprots vision specialist, and one of the first things I learned is that the more you cut down on the light coming into your eyes, the more it degrades your depth perception. I...

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    My first 'precision rifle' was a TRG22/308. I've owned a couple of custom rigs, and shot quite a few more, but in the end, its really hard to beat a TRG22. Here is my favorite....its a 20"308, with KRG folding buttstock. I prefer and use the ATLAS bipod, NEAR base, and it still wears a well used...

My favorite mags are Checkmate welded flush base plate-10 rounders for the mag in the gun, and WC ETM's after that.....the Checkmate's are super reliable, and flush fit, but hard to...

    flying question

    I fly with firearms several times a year...often internationally. Its really not as big a deal as most folks think. This belt works well, is plenty stiff, and doesn't set off the magnetometer! I generally never need to remove it....
