    Rifle Scopes How to zero a scope at a distance other than the distance you are shooting from

    Hopefully that thread title wasn't too confusing. My preferred method of zeroing a scope is to boresight at 25 yds, shoot 1 round at 100 yards, place the reticle at the point of aim and then using the turrets, move the reticle to the point of impact for a 100 yard zero. Now, lets say you have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Quality vs. Price

    Difference between a $1000 Sig and a $1400 Kimber? The Sig will probably run out of the box. My opinion is: Under $1000 - Colt (springfield a close second though) Under $2000 - Dan Wesson $2000+ - Wilson I have owned all of these and personally I'm done with "low end" (which i consider...

    Advice on good Bore guides?

    Never tried a Lucas guide but they look nice. I have a Pro Shot bore guide that seems to work fine, though I have nothing to compare it to. J Dewey rods as mentioned above, I love mine and will buy them in other calibers as needed. Not sure if anyone answered your question about rod size...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell DMR or Burris XTR II

    If I narrowed down my choices to those two, I'd at least wait to see the new reticle offered by Burris as I'm not too enthused by the GB2. Overall they (the new XTR II line) looks really solid and packs a lot of features into a scope at a nice price but the DMR line is a proven performer and...

    Rifle Scopes Xerowind - Scope That Measures Wind Downrange (No Kidding)

    Very cool. IMO this would be far more useful than the Trackingpoint system. I'll probably never own one, but it sounds awesome.

    Rifle Scopes Minox finally gets into the game

    I emailed Greg Clark at Minox USA about the 3-15 & 5-25 ZP Tac. He said they will have them by "fall" so I imagine first of the year is when customers will start seeing them. MSRP of both is $3499.00.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Single stack 9 mm glock??

    I can't remember where I heard this so you can consider it an unsubstantiated internet rumor but I thought someone at Glock was on record saying they planned on making a 9mm version of the G42. Does anyone else remember hearing this or did I just dream it?

    Precision 5.56 AR worth it when you already have a .308 semi?

    $2200 (for the whole rifle) buys a lot of .308 ammo or even more bullets/powder/primers for reloading. If it's just something you want, go for it. That's all the reason I've ever needed for buying a new gun. Obviously though you don't need it, it won't do anything your carbine or sr25 won't...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 45 carry ammo

    A specific brand name isn't what worries me too much. Generally I carry Gold Dots, but that is because they feed well in my pistols and I was able to find them in 50rnd boxes at a reasonable price. I think in terms of quality Gold Dot = HST = Ranger T. I haven't extensively tested Golden...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Possible to identify a pre 2005 Sig P226?

    haha; thanks for the good info! I'm starting a thread at sigtalk so I'm sure the targeted audience over there will have all the info. I said I wasn't much of a sig guy (which is true) but I actually already have a 938 that I bought for concealed carry. I bought it because it's a very small...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Possible to identify a pre 2005 Sig P226?

    Thanks, good info in there. I'll check out sigtalk as well. I've heard of the P226 Navy before; does anyone know if these were exclusively made pre-2005?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Possible to identify a pre 2005 Sig P226?

    I'm fairly sure that there were railed guns being made in 2005 and before (though I have no idea what year was the first for a railed 226, if anyone has that info, please let us know). That being said, I was 19 years old in 2005 and as said I've never been a Sig guy so I wasn't paying much...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Possible to identify a pre 2005 Sig P226?

    W. German marked pistols were pre-Cohen, but not all pre-Cohen pistols were made in W. Germany. I appreciate you trying to help, but I'm really looking for the Sig experts to chime in on this one.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    I own a Kimber, and a Springfield as well (and 1911s from several other makers). Picking between the two, I'll take a Springfield every time, but in that price range I'll always recommend Colt to new buyers. I'm not full of vitriol when it comes to Kimbers, and I know there are many users...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Preferred Pistol Sight Picture

    I prefer the #2. When I first started shooting handguns I was using the #3, I suppose that was intuitive for me - put the sights where you want the bullet to hit. Once I started to really focus on the front sight, it started to make a lot more sense to use the #2 sight picture, as stated it...
