    6.5 Hornady American Gunner

    I get similar accuracy results at 100 yards with my CTR and Ruger Predator. Chrono results: CTR w/ Omega: 2506 fps CTR w/o Omega: 2583 fps 1x brass sells for 30-35 cents per case, making the American Gunner pretty cheap plinking ammo.

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX1000 vs. Sig Sauer Tango4

    I had a Tango4 4-16x and wasn't impressed. A used Tango6 3-18x replaced it for similar $$$. Glass on the 6 was much better, so were the turrets.

    Rifle Scopes Paypal F&F... is this a scam?

    Rhetorical question to discuss in philosophy class, bible class, or at the bar: Is it ethical to steal from bad people or bad companies?

    Rifle Scopes Paypal F&F... is this a scam?

    Another small business owner here - an accountant. I'll provide a counterpoint that many of my clients have shared with me. They prefer credit cards for a few reasons: 1) Less cash to deposit. Time spent banking is time that can be spent working on their business. 2) Less cash to be robbed...

    Burris Xtreme 25 MOA 1-pc steel base. Machining appears to be nice, finish was very even too. "Burris" is etched into the very rear of the base. It uses four screws to attach to the receiver and it has a small, large lug protruding from the bottom to fit into a recess in the receiver.

    Rifle Scopes Paypal F&F... is this a scam?

    Form 1099-K is issued if total transactions are more than $20,000 and the person has more than 200 transactions. That's a lot of wheeling and dealing for a hobbyist, but the seller can always ask for USPS money orders if they are concerned.

    I removed my factory rail last week. It was easy! I put a clothing iron (no steam) on the rail for about 10 minutes, set on high. I removed the iron and quickly unscrewed the retaining screws using a small Bosch 12v impact driver. I slid a scope ring over the rail and pulled up and it came...

    Rifle Scopes Scope choice for Kids first precision rifle

    Under a grand, I'd look at a SS 3-9x or 3-15x, or a Weaver Tactical 3-15x. Maybe see if you can find a used Sig Tango6 3-18x. Over a grand? Maybe a Vortex AMG due to the lower weight. I have my kids shooting a Ruger 10/22 and Ruger American Rimfire, both with Leupold VX-2 2-7x rimfire...

    Rifle Scopes Tango6 3-18 vs Mark5 3-18

    I have two Tango6 3-18x scopes, both Gen1s with the 30mm tube. Turrets have been great - pull up to dial, push down to lock. No wiggling or wobbling. Glass on them is fantastic and will spoil you. It's a notable step up over Philippine-made scopes like the Vortex Viper PST and Burris XTR...

    Seems like something that a sticker would fix. Maybe draw a smiley face on it. Or a sad face.

    Which scout/patrol rifle

    I really like my 20" CTR but it feels like an elephant compared to my Ruger Predator that I had cut to 16.75". Both guns currently have the same scope, a heavy 3-18x Tango 6. For an inexpensive truck gun, a Predator with a SS 3-9x would be a good combo. Maybe a Ruger American Ranch in 5.56...

    CTR shooters with the OEM stock and 34mm scopes... what brand and height of rings are you using? I'm going to mount a 34mm scope w/ 56mm objective. I'd like to use Burris XTR Signatures which come in 1" and 1.5" heights which seem like they might be too low and too high, respectively.

    Rifle Scopes Why the small objective lenses?

    If you are new to 3gun, get a Burris RT6 and run it for a season or two. Midway has cosmetic blems for $270. Great scope for newbies and seasoned guys on a budget. Get experience to learn what you value in a scope. You don't need a Razor 1-6 to win at the club level. With great 3gun...

    Good on youf ro taking care of people though. CS is dying across the industry and when products can be so similar, great CS tilts the scales. And if you don't want all those terrible blems taking up space in your office, just let me know. ;)

    Has the Mk4 been discontinued? Midway and other retailers still have them.

    Rifle Scopes Why are there no Leupold guys in the PRS world?

    Anyone else confused by Leupold's offerings? VX-1, 2, 3, 6, R, Freedom. Mk4, 5, 6, 8, AR. Designing, manufacturing, stocking, repairing, and marketing so many brands and models is expensive.
