    Optics 30mm & 1" rings, APA, Bobro, Leupold

    Clearing out some ring sets I'm not using anymore. All are used in good condition. First up, APA (American Precision Arms) 30mm aluminum rings marked .750 on the bottom. Presumably .75" is the rail to center line on these. $125 shipped CONUS Next up are some Bobro vertical split 30mm...

    Accessories MDT poly AICS .223 mags & pic / arca ckye-pod mount

    2x 10rd MDT AICS .223 magazines. These have less than 20 rounds through them. They were just never the favorite mags of my .223 and they don't fit my 350 Legend as my other .223 mags do. As such, I'm selling them in near new condition. $65 shipped CONUS MDT Ckye-POD attachment head mount -...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    You guys are definitely convincing me to make sure not to update my software. I'm looking to keep the 1k+ round streak alive of never having the Garmin fail to capture a rifle shot. It has even done well enough with pistol rounds given that I never have it positioned within it's recommended...

    Based on how I have used laser rangefinders in conjunction with BaseMap before, I believe you would be placing the point while in the BaseMap app and not from within the VECSS app. With the premium versions of BaseMap, there is a remote marker option under the tools section that what you would...

    2025 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: More 350L, Garmin and Athlon Chronos, Leopold Mark 4HD, BurstFire, Field Optics Research, videos and visits

    Update 3-20-2025 Did a range day with the 350L, new Nosler 180 grain whitetail country ammunition, and a number of handloads. The wind was downright atrocious, super gusty and variable between 0 and 30mph. It was so strong that two targets blew off the board and the rocking of the target board...

    Update: 2-27-2025 This is the last post on what is now last years blog. My 2025 blog thread is now live. Also, I have finished my first video ever. A video recap of my Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph review. I don’t even think it sucks. I think it is actually pretty good for the first video I...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Your right, the LR is pretty similar to the TOR which is darn near identical to the MilXT. 2) What bothers me a great deal when I encounter it in reticles is a lot of mixing and matching of graduations such as half mill graduations on the vertical stadia but .2mil graduations on the horizontal...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    Put my review of the Garmin Chrono up today after a year of use. It's been a lifesaver I never would have gotten some of the data I ended up needing on the 350L without it and I am certain I would not have gone down some of the investigative paths that have been fruitful without that data. It is...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    My thoughts on a reticle: First off, my take is certainly going to be a little biased by how often I am switching between designs due to doing a bunch of optical reviews each year. If something gets real complicated, I generally end up hating it because I switch back and forth too often to be...

    Rim-x vs. Vudoo. Which did you choose and why?

    Love the surplus Kimber 82G in here with all the multiple thousand dollar rifles. They were $400 with a nice diopter sight included when the last ones were sold in ~2012 btw. For what it is worth, my best 82G out shoots my Anschutz 54. My Vudoo is better than both though. I do not think this...

    Update: 1-23-2025 A little bit on Rechargeable Batteries in Laser Rangefinders: Amazingly, Nick was already able to get back to me about the battery questions even though he is at ShotShow this week. I guess I should probably mention that I skipped out on the show again this year. It’s just...

    A little bit on Rechargeable Batteries in Laser Rangefinders: Amazingly, Nick was already able to get back to me about the battery questions even though he is at ShotShow this week. Interestingly, the Vector X binoculars handle power conversion a bit differently internally than the Leica...

    Update 1-22-2025 It’s so cold my buddy in Alabama can’t leave his house because there is snow on the ground and your taking your life in your hands if you go out on the roads in the snow south of the Mason Dixon line. Folks don’t exactly get a lot of practice down there on how to handle a...

    Some Cold Weather Battery Testing and Battery Thoughts I have been following a lot of the discussion on the forums about the Vector X not handling the cold well with the standard cr123a batteries. So, I went out to test it along with the Gen 2 Sig 10k’s and Leica Geovid Pro 32s in 4 degrees...

    2024 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: PurePrecision, Precision Straight-Walled Cartridge Rifle, Proof, XTPS trigger, Levels

    Boy, that is a tough question. Obviously, I haven’t been happy with the average performance of ammunition and even handloads in the 350L. Only one lot of one ammo has been able to average under 1” groups at 100 yards and only two ammunitions are under 1.25”. So far, with hand loads I also have...

    Rifle Scopes How many turn past zero?

    There are a number of scopes out there with perceptible lash. I think the largest I have encountered is ~.1 mil with both the Minox LR and ZP5. Any scope with a non-translating turret (the elevation knob does not raise up and down when the turret is moved) will have some amount of lash though it...

    Are Electronic Levels Worth it?

    I played around with a lot more types of levels as well as mounting positions than I had previously used for the article on level use in precision rifle. This included buying an MDT Send-It. I have used it a good bit now on a wide variety of rifles. I think it does require less attention to...

    2024 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: PurePrecision, Precision Straight-Walled Cartridge Rifle, Proof, XTPS trigger, Levels

    I have not yet done any terminal testing of any 350L ammo. If I do any and how much I have not yet decided on. My biggest interest in that regard would be testing bullet performance at 300-400yds. I would like to know if any still open up at these longer ranges. Regarding the Hornady American...
