i'm working on both; thank you.

i guess i need to ask her; thanks!

my wife has asked me to provide her with a list of my guns. if she were outright anti-guns, i wouldn't give it to her, but she's tolerant, not an activist. although she's been to the range with me and actually shot a few of my pieces, that has only happened once, out of curiosity--both the visit...

my Python, which i purchased a few months ago, has a stainless finish that i'm not completely happy with. it's not "high polish" but Colt calls it something else. everything is nice and smooth and tight--i can barely see light through the cylinder gap. i put a set of rosewood stocks on it to...

i just bought a new one in 9mm last month. of course, i have other nines in auto, but somehow, i still like to carry this one. i got a suede-lined Bianchi de-minimus holster for it and some checkered wood grip panels. painted the front sight with nail polish so i can actually see it in broad...

i just purchased a Vortex 2 - 7 X32 that has 9 1/2" of eye relief. also bought low-profile Vortex rings for it. hope that will set up alright on my PIC rail. i don't want to have to locate it too far forward b/c of balance concerns.

Thank you! i'm planning on it.

.223 Remington, same as i've had on my Browning Lever, a Mini-14, and, any ARs i might have had. It's a Savage Model 110 Scout; but it's not much of a 'Scout' as it weighs 7.7lbs without a sling or MAG! even. i like many of its features: it is 38" long and sports a thick 16.25" barrel...

i was pretty excited when i took delivery of my new piece, but now that i've put some rounds on it, it's evident that it needs some refinement. first case, the irons are on 25yd paper out of the box, but there are no instructions in the manual about how to adjust them, so i've left them alone...

Thank you! this was it. the bore sight was slightly longer than a proper cartridge case. i did not turn the bolt, as instructed, but a piece of it rubbed off. i can close the thread now.

i used a Sight-Rite bore sighter to align my new scope on my Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 Creedmoor, and now, when i close the bolt on an empty chamber without turning it, it no longer glides into place. this just happened after using the sighter. it used to slide forward smoothly, even with a...

CONCLUSION: At the range yesterday, zeroing the "absolute" red dot was easier than I thought it would be. I learned that I don’t have to crank the red dot down on to of the front post, although I started there. All I had to do was simply flip down the rear sight and zero in the dot. from then...

Thanks a lot, everybody! I didn't think I could get very excited about having another 'AR platform' rifle, but I'm very happy with it. (FYI, it's a new Savage MSR-15 Patrol that's supposed to have a really great barrel in it, according to the gun writers.) I just received the UTG medium QD...

I bought another AR that has the traditional A-2 front post and a flip-up BUIS on the rear. I am installing one of my old TRS-25s on the rail, and am using a UTG medium height QD 3-slot mount for it, which means it will be absolute co-witness. My irons are already zeroed, so I'm guessing all I...

I wanted to stick with one-piece mount/rings, but it's looking as if I'm going to need a pic rail. I already have a cantilever mount with 1/2" screws/nuts that I can adjust on it. As 1stmarine says, above: "This is why normally after ordering the rifle one goes and looks through different...
