    Rifle Scopes RED or GREEN Reticle?

    Re: RED or GREEN Reticle? If your concern is to preserve night vision, red is your friend. Green light will disipate the rhodopsin (the chemical that enables us to see at night) from the eyes. Rhodopsin tolerates red light much better. Can't remember where I read this, but I don't imagine...

    Help building rifle for son's birthday.

    Re: Help building rifle for son's birthday. I took a different approach with my six-year-old. I got him a 10/22 compact and upgraded it with a Volquartsen hammer kit, a Picatinny base, and Burris FastFire. Considering my son's age, my focus is on him having fun, being successful, and not...

    Sniper's Hide Online Training?

    Re: Sniper's Hide Online Training? Every time a newbie takes some formal training, you will hear them sing accolades about how the training they took is THE BEST and there is no better instructor within the Milky Way. I hope this does not sound like the above scenario. I asked an...

    Gunsmithing Guessing torque values

    Re: Guessing torque values Thanks for the advice. I guess I have to move the Seekonk torque wrench a bit higher in the priority list.

    Gunsmithing Guessing torque values

    I am about to attach a scope to a .22LR, but I will not be able to afford the Seekonk torque wrenches for another month or two. Meanwhile, I'd like to get some practice in. Are there any tricks to estimate the torque values by hand? EGW recommends 20"lbs for the base and the rings are Seekins...

    point me to the right scope and mount.

    Re: point me to the right scope and mount. I had these same questions not too long ago. If you run some searches, you will find what you are looking for and more.

    Re: Barrel Lapping Thanks you, Greg. I also ran some searches on cleaning and I got more relevant info than I expected.

    Barrel Lapping

    Would you bother lapping the factory barrel on a precision .22LR (specifically, a Savage MarkII FV)? I ran some searches, but did not find anything specific to rimfires. Thanks in advance.

    Movie Theater Book - On Killing by Grossman

    Re: Book - On Killing by Grossman Although I am not sure that I wholly buy some of his arguments, it is an excellent book. Very insightful and direct. I did not even find it dry, but that's probably because I enjoy reading history. Agree that it should be required reading for leaders in...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax Markings

    Re: Parallax Markings Thank you again, gentlemen. Sorry if my question about POI shift was not clear. I was referring to the shift caused by parallax error, not the shift as influenced by ballistics. However, I'll take your advice and stop overthinking it.

    Rifle Scopes Parallax Markings

    Re: Parallax Markings Thank you. How much would I expect the POI to shift in ranges 100-500 yards if the sight picture is clear, but the parallax is not precisely where it should be? Am I sweating the small stuff? Is getting the most crisp sight picture sufficient?

    Rifle Scopes Parallax Markings

    Sorry, this is not brand specific. Are factory parallax markings generally accurate on decent scopes? Would it be unwise to rely on the factory markings for known-distances?

    Volquartsen triggers.

    Re: Volquartsen triggers. I used the hammer kit from VQ, instead of the entire trigger group, and it is a big improvement. I would imagine that replacing the entire trigger group would be even better. With the hammer kit only, many people report a little creep. I have not noticed it a lot...

    Rifle Scopes Liberty Optics. VERY GTG!!!

    Re: Liberty Optics. VERY GTG!!! Here's another big +1 for Scott. I first contact him via e-mail and received no-BS, honest advice. I then called and asked some more questions and I couldn't be any happier. The OP is correct that it is not common for a retailer to take the time to offer...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Crossfire Questions

    Re: Vortex Crossfire Questions Thanks for the advice. I don't plan on shooting at a greater magnification than 10x. However, if I can get more magnification for less money, it would be nice. Is there a difference in clarity between the two?
