    Chargemaster 1500 Quirks

    Calipers show the cable width and height are 0.060” x 0.131”. The ferrite choke channel is 0.150” in diameter and is 0.775” long. The dimensions of the plastic casing is 0.5” diameter x 1.0”. The key number in the above confusion is the 0.150” channel, which is 3.8mm, or 6 gauge.

    Greetings from Bavaria

    How difficult is it to move rifles across the German/Czech border? I know the Czechs don’t care, but is bringing it back to Germany a problem? The only long ranges in Germany I have worked at are Grafenwöhr and Baumholder. Wasn’t able to shoot at either place, but was training with aircraft.

    Greetings from Bavaria

    WhiskeyUniform, Greetings from the U.S. I’ve visited the Spitzingsee last year and wish I could afford a vacation home in the area. Great beer and terrific food. Where are you able to shoot long distance. I was able to shoot at one of your indoor ranges, but it only reached out 100 meters. I...

    MPA?

    Safari Can't Open the Page I was just on their site a couple of days ago. I'm guessing the Left Wing anti-gun hackers.

    Night Vision PVS 30 thru the tube picture thread! PICS ADDED

    Boxes for me as well. Viewing on iPhone. Really interested in 19dsniper’s posts. Debating to get one of these refurbished PVS-30s, or spend some more money and get a high resolution thermal clip-on that can pick up targets at further distance.

    Recommendations on barrel length for my .308

    JayB, You beat me to it. I remembered reading this article a few months back, and decided to read it again while you were posting.

    Rifle Scopes MST-100 Comeback?

    Received an email today from US Optics about the MST-100. Opened up the email and it contains info about their SVS 1-6. Checked their website and haven’t found any MST-100 info. Maybe it will be out soon.

    Modest reloading room

    Found it! This like the Where’s Waldo of reloading. Next is the wife’s favorite bowl that now holds processed brass.

    Chargemaster 1500 Quirks

    I wanted the best chance of accuracy out of my scale and thought the $7 choke couldn’t hurt.

    Chargemaster 1500 Quirks

    A ferrite choke should decrease high frequency noise before it enters an electronic device (such as a scale). I picked up mine at Radio Shack before they all shut down. You can still find them on multiple websites. I’m not at home now and can’t take a picture of my 1500 power cable, but have...

    Most valuable piece of equipment you have purchased

    A quality scope. I wasn’t sure why my impacts weren’t matching my drop table until I learned about low quality scopes and their terrible tracking. My US Optic B-25 has perfect tracking and makes shooting more enjoyable. I know that when I miss that it is my fault, and not the equipment.
