    Night Vision Reap IR battery housing issue? Cracked.....

    Myself and a shooting buddy were considering picking up thermal units this year. That has been put on hold for the time being due to COVID19 and work. Having said that it came down to N-Vision and Trijicon. I will most definitely NOT be purchasing a Trijicon after reading some of the issues in...

    Law folder with a5 spring/buffer?

    GarandThumb runs the A5 buffer system with his Law Tactical folder without issue. He has a YouTube channel. I'm sure you can search his channel and find the information you're looking for. Having said that I have a Law Tactical folder on my BCM 11.5 SBR. I also use it on my 8.5 inch 300 BLK...

    Rifle Scopes Mil-xt or tremor 3?

    I have 7-35's in both the Mil XT and Tremor 3. I was able to spot shots in the grass at 600 yards with the Tremor 3. It's not as cluttered or difficult to spot shots as some make it seem. Having said that I like the Mil XT more. The wind dots are not needed once you know the wind value of...

    Got a bankruptcy notice from Jallen today

    The correlation is one doesn't make a major acquisition of a company without knowing all of the warts. The valuation isn't just the assets, it's also the debts and potential creditors. I find it doubtful and highly unlikely that MDT was unaware of the entire situation. That's why they...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli Be.s.t. ?

    I purchased my SBE 3 online. My buddy purchased his Beretta from the same place. I saved $300 by purchasing online with the price difference and sales tax. My buddy's A400 was $300 cheaper than my Benelli.

    Got a bankruptcy notice from Jallen today

    Never said it effected them. But knowing that J Allen screwed hard working folks out of money definitely impacts my decision to purchase one. I wanted one for my Vudoo. I won't be purchasing one from MDT as the situation stands currently whether it's their fault or not. I vote with my wallet.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli Be.s.t. ?

    I shimmed mine for the proper cast. The POA problems are a known issue with the SBE3. Benelli's customer service acknowledged it and explained the issue. The issue isn't the cast or proper butt stock fitting. The retaining ring on the magazine tube is misaligned. Tightening the barrel nut...

    Got a bankruptcy notice from Jallen today

    I wonder how MDT feels about purchasing their equipment now? I know it's not directly their fault, but I'm sure in full transparency they were aware of J Allen's impending Chapter 7 filing.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli Be.s.t. ?

    Had I known of the issued I would not have bought the SBE3. The A400 Exteme Plus is an excellent shotgun.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli Be.s.t. ?

    My SBE 3 is Optifade Timber. I haven't had any issues with the finish. If you want the Benelli by all means get it. But shooting the SBE3 and Beretta A400 Extreme Plus side by side I'd get the Beretta for all of the issues mentioned earlier.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli Be.s.t. ?

    The SBE3 is slick all by itself. It doesn't need the DLC in my opinion. Mine shot high and left. So much so that at 25 yards it'd be an issue on turkeys. Oddly Beretta owns Benelli, yet the issue seems to be a problem with the Benelli's. I only turkey hunt, so it was a concern for me. My...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli Be.s.t. ?

    I have a SBE 3 that I picked up this time last year. It does not have the B.E.S.T on it. From my understanding that's a surface treatment that guards against rust and corrosion. I had to send mine back to Benelli as it did not shoot to POA. If you Google the issue, it's a common problem with...

    Night Vision MAWL Video with comparisons to PEQ-15, etc.

    Isn't the Perst 3 manufactured in Russia? Seeing as he had the DA on hand as well perhaps he was comparing U.S. Military grade options. Just a guess.

    Night Vision Comparison L3 LWTS-LR and Trijicon Oasys UTC Xii

    Thanks for the informative reply. There seems to be a large delta between the high end offerings (both in price and performance) and everything else. I've been looking at the N Vision LR 50 and the Trijicon IR Hunter 60.

    Night Vision Comparison L3 LWTS-LR and Trijicon Oasys UTC Xii

    Excuse the ignorance, I'm still in the process of educating myself on NV options and technology. Outside of these two options which are the pinnacle of long range thermal technology, what are some second tier options for those who can't/won't pay the cost of admission? I'm asking specifically...

    Manners stock woes....what would you do?

    I've had issues with stocks from Manners and McMillan arriving with issues. Neither company are immune to it. Sometimes it took a few trips to get it right, but both got it right eventually. Frustrating shipping things back and forth but every issue was fixed to my satisfaction. I had a...

    The Fix from Q

    I have an older box of Hornady factory ammo. They used to print load data on the box to mimic factory ammo. They list 41.5 gr of H4350, Federal 210M primer. COAL 2.810". 2700 FPS out of a 24" barrel. Every rifle is different, but I think that's a safe starting point. Work up your load data...

    Hunting & Fishing Stand hunting outer layer

    The problem for me personally with Carhartt is it's cotton. I sweat quite a lot getting to my stand and up in the tree. I had a set of Carhartt and they trap and retain the moisture from perspiring. Not ideal for staying warm when not moving. For me the Sitka jacket and bibs with...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR 7-35 Mil XT Reticle For ELR?

    I found that my intial setup with my two 7-35's ATACR's took longer than other high end scopes I've owned in the past. There is a lot of adjustment in the ocualr. Trying to focus the reticle and eliminate parallax was frustrating. Once I got the hang of it on the first scope it was easier to...

    Does MDT have a phone number?

    Crybaby? Millenial? Hardly......the item showed in stock. There was no back order status on the web page. You speak like I'm new to the site or new to the hobby. I've been on here in some fashion or form for over ten years. Funny how I ordered from just about every major manufacturer and...
