    Stopped by the Vortex Showroom yesterday...

    It was only a five minute detour on my way home from work yesterday. Now, I worked on the foundations of every phase of their complex to date, but yesterday was the first time I actually checked out the showroom. Was looking for a good, basic hunting scope for my dad with a plex reticle...

    Cerakoting my VZ-24

    Think I'm going to send my VZ-24 out to Craft Coating in Oshkosh, WI and get it coated in Armor Black. Anyone here use them previously? The only Cerakote work I've had done before was a double barrel shotgun that HDC coated(they did a great job, just don't want to ship my rifle if I can help it).

    Forming brass for 8mm gibbs.....help

    need to make up some fire forming loads for an 8mm gibbs. This will mean expanding the neck of 30-06 brass to bigger than .323 then sizing with 8mm gibbs dies. I know that I need to form a false shoulder on the cartridges to provide a good crush fit when forming in the chamber. My question...

    Mossberg 464

    Been looking at one of these at a local gun shop. Don't mind the plain looking wood. Fit and finish seams really nice for the price. Weight and balance feel real nice to me. Action seems a little stiff, but not terrible. OK question is: Does anyone have any real experience with this...

    Arsat rifle scopes

    Recently found these scopes have been selling quite inexpensively on ebay. After a little homework I found that the manufacturer "Arsenal" in Kiev, Ukraine was shut down a couple of months back due to the fact the real estate it was sitting on was worth more than the company. I understand...
