    Night Vision Sleeping topside after dark.

    This guy has been coming in closer & closer. Last weekend while sleeping on top of my jeep he came within 10m. A experience I will never forget. I had no idea they could move so silently. To be honest, not sure I could pull the trigger. Yogi just looking for that picnic basket.

    Rifle Scopes SFP Question

    I will do my best to explain my question. Not sure if a short answer is possible. 1. I have 5 FFP optics & they are my preference (all mil). 2. I have one SFP optic that I can not part with a Swarovski Z6 2.5 x 15 x 44. Her primary mission, gathering light for hunting application...

    Night Vision www.nvdevices.com

    Well if Murphy is around the next corner he showed up at the worst possible time. 12 hours into a 72 hour hunt my PVS-30 decided to give it up. I purchased a refurbished unit from NVD out of Allentown PA. in Dec of 2017. This device has spoiled me, it made me a believer that the only way to...

    6.5G Larue is back from factory repairs

    So after a two month wait the results are in. My 6.5 Grendel made its way back out to the range with her primary day optic a Vortex AMG 6 X 24. My reason for sending the rifle back to Larue was because of jamming issues. I created the problem by removing the brake and attaching a direct thread...

    Rifle Scopes Understanding the basics

    So today I'm at the 300 range having a little casual conversation with a guy a little older than me. And he offers, would I like to send a few rounds down range with his 500 dollar bolt action rifle and a 90 dollar 25x fixed power scope. I say sure and ask him what kind of rifle is it? He tells...

    Gear issue

    Fitness at this stage of your life should be second nature. You either have kept up on your physical fitness maintenance and proper diet or not. Food is fuel for the engine (quality intake) equals (quality out put). After 55 the machine needs tuning not chasing the 2 & 3 times body weight lifts...

    Rifle Scopes Tactical vs Hunting?

    I have read several pros and cons of a FFP & SFP here on the hide based on the shooters application and it usually boils down to the individuals personal preference. Not going to get into which brand, what power or what reticle. Hunting application max range 400 m. 1st or 2nd focal plane?

    Rifle Scopes Zeroing question

    Probably a stupid question but here goes. For as long as I can remember when it came time for me mount an optic on a rifle I have used the following basic steps. Place 3 foot x 3 foot paper target at 25 yards. From a stable shooting position, take your time and send your round down range...

    Rifle Scopes Extreme low light conditions Kahles 624i

    The short version of why I decided on the 624i. Primary use: Hunting. Secondary use: Targets. I deliberated long and hard on this purchase. Dropping almost 3 k for a rifle scope is serious business. Up until last night I had yet to see an optic gather light better than my Swarovski Z6. Here...

    Short action or long?

    I thought I had a grasp on the understanding of the difference between a SA & LA. Just for the sake of keeping it simple, lets say I want to have another bolt gun built in 7.62. When I look at Surgeon actions, why do they make both a short and long in 308? I may be way off the mark but does it...
