    NOW which scope

    Magnification Scope magnification, is a personal choice. What you buy needs to be balanced with cost, value, clarity of glass, and expected use, among other things. The forums are full of lengthy threads discussing this question. If you pick a single power scope be it 10X or 32X that is the...

    NOW which scope

    Generically I would look at the 24X. I normally like to shoot at 14-18X, but I have found that unless you have a high price scope the scope is apt to lack clear vision at its extreme highest power. With my 20X Vortex viper and my Mueller 25X, I have good clear glass at the powers that I normally...

    Hearing Protection for GIs?

    Thand God for smokers When I entered the service in the early 60's all I can say is Thank God for smokers. Butts especially the filtered were the only ear protection available. As soon as you got to a range or even before you raided the butt cans to get a pair of ear protection, if you were...

    Bell & Carlson Stocks

    Great fit I hastily tore open the box and pulled out the stock, an A-3. Out of the box it was all that I expected. I removed my 700 SPS Varmint from its Matel stock and dropped into the new stock. Perfect fit. Tightened up the action screws, and now as I mentioned in my last post impatiently...

    Question for any Vets on target shooting

    During my 30 years in special Forces, the most I shot was between 1979 and 1984 when I averages 100 rounds a day. Mush of the other times was annual qualifications and different live fire exercises. Vietnam to much to count. In my last four years about 50 rounds a week. Unless you are in combat...

    Need help choosing a scope

    Mueller I think that the Mueller scope 8.5 to 25 44mm would fit the bill. It is and excellent scope for the money. http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Mueller_8_5_25x44AO_p/mt852544.htm Brer Rabbit

    Spotting Scope Questions

    I was going through a similar decision. My choice was betwee the Celestron 20-60 80mm, and the Burris 20-60 80mm. After reading the reviews I chose the Burris at $199 over the Celestron at $167. The scope is in the mail, hope to have it on the range next week Brer Rabbit

    Arisaka T99 Japanese etched coin on stock

    The best that I can find out it from my wife it appears to be something of a rifle rack number. Originally I thought it might be a Japanese Soldiers Dog Tag. If it is a Dog Tag the translation is Kaki 4-4-01 (April 4, 1926) Were Kaki is possibly a last name and the date is a date of birth...

    need to decide on a good scope

    I have both the Vortex Viper and the Mueller, and am satisfied with both. The Mueller however can be had for about $160 on sale. I has a 1" tube. I bought one of the newer vortexs but it was $499. Older models have been on sale for around $200. I don't think you can go wrong with either...

    Southern Arizona: tell me about it.

    I live in Tucson, and visited Sierra Vista many times. As stated earlier it is a great place pleasant weather, and growing. The military has kept the town alive, but it has turned into a good place. Best shopping is still in Tucson. There is a public range about 45 min drive from SV on the south...
