    best shooting sling for a hunting rifle

    I would not call it best, I have a rifle with a sling that stretch's and may have some neoprene in it. Not much for looks, but the stretch makes it comfortable and takes the bite out of the bounce. It does not bounce, but the down motion of the rifle on the shoulder is not as sharp. YMMV

    Big drug bust locally, replete with obligatory photo of "gun table."

    I see they put out the flashlight too. Someday I expect to see the set of steak knives on the table. What did they catch them with? Please tell me it was not an 1/8 ounce of weed?

    Screaming deal on Weaver scopes

    I returned it and it is still in shipping. I would expect that they will refund original and return shipping since it was defective per the turret that floated around. I have no reason to think they will not make it right. If people can get a deal great. Helpful of you to post. My...

    Screaming deal on Weaver scopes

    Buyer beware. I ordered one and it was not as advertised. Wrong turrets and the turret that was there was loose and floating. I posted in another thread. May have been just my scope, or there may be a reason they are being sold at a big discount.

    Need more advice - Scope Issue on Arrival

    Thanks for the input. I sent it back for a refund. Here are the pics of the one I was sent. It looks like a hybrid franken scope. I don't have a picture of inside the front bell, but it said super slam, but the turrets were of a classic extreme. Box said super slam and number 800350 on...

    NICS Rant...

    I hear ya Joshua. It is frustrating to try to make a living and open a new business and then have obstacles. Tough enough as it is without other forces making it harder. You have my encouragement.

    Need more advice - Scope Issue on Arrival

    In follow-up to my earlier thread, I received the Weaver 4-20 super slam and it was nice. I liked the glass a lot. It was very clear. BUT, the turrets had some issues. One was floating and not tight. It wobbled up and down preventing accurate reading. The other issue was the turrets for...

    Why Japan for Zeiss?

    To many factors to know. German factory may be at capacity and they don't want to build another factory, so they off source to Japan. Depending on the product, the country may not matter if the product is primarily made by a machine. They lenses may not be ground by hand like in the old days...

    Ar-15 Build Question

    I believe that all I bought was a set of punches. There are other tools, but most well equipped garages have those. Use tape and be careful. Others certainly know more than me about it. I bought a preassembled trigger kit which made it easier.

    NICS Rant...

    I don't have enough call ins to form an accurate opinion, but on my last call, maybe one year ago for a bolt action 223 rifle, the wait was about 45 min to 1 hour. It was bad enough that I had to leave the store and then come back since I had family stuff to do. There were others waiting too...

    Low Cost Optic

    Baldman. Interesting brand. The 6-24 certainly checks all the boxes. The reticle is interesting idea. Seems a bit like the Nikon spot on web site. I have a buddy who likes buying rifles, but no scopes or sights. I keep bugging him to scope them up and shoot them. I will tell him about the...

    50 grn vmax in 1:8 twist

    Thanks. I have been having great accuracy with the 40 grn vmax factory loads in a 1:12 twist in my CZ bolt, and am going to see if I have equally good accuracy with the 50 grn vmax in my WOA 1:8 upper. Could try the 40's first without buying the 50 I suppose.

    NICS Rant...

    The way I would look at is that a citizen has a constitution right to own or buy a firearm, subject to some exclusions, which I agree with. If the answer to the NICS is: 1. No, but NICS is wrong and it should have been a yes, that is a constitutional violation. or 2. Maybe, wait for...

    50 grn vmax in 1:8 twist

    Has anyone shot the 50 grn vmax from a 1:8 twist barrel? If how, how was the accuracy? I think it should work fine, but want to see if anyone has shot the combination. Thanks.

    Disappointed in my purchase of receivers 'on sale'.....

    I have new a 2 year old aero lower in the box. I will look tonight. I would call Aero. I think they are serious about their quality and would like to know about it.

    Gun Control Map

    why does it not seem accurate. Seems in like with what I would think. Population centers verses rural, certain states trending certain ways. Colorado banned 30 round mags. Although, those areas of Utah and Nevada are not likely in favor of GC.
