    Vietnam scopes comparison.

    My friend was asking me about the scopes used during Vietnam on the M40, Model 70 etc. One of his questions was how the scopes compared to those in use now. Namely say where would the scopes fall in the price range and quality of modern scopes. Would say the old redfield be in the same class...

    Wary of repaired bushnell.

    A year or two ago I got a bushnell 3200 10x mildot. Worked great for a while when suddenly the internals went out on me. Windage knob was completely dead, and the elevation knob moved the reticle diagonally. I bought a redfield revolution to replace it and am still using that. Bushnell...

    Filling in the stock.

    Does anyone have suggestions for a good material/method to fill in the butt of a hollow stock (Savage axis) to add some weight and rigidity. I filled int he forearm with some epoxy putty, and part of the grip and that helped quite a bit. But I was hoping to find something a little more cost...

    New fixed power scope SWFA or Leupold

    I prefer fixed power scopes. Had a bushnell 10x that I liked but when it failed on me (even though bushnell supposedly fixed it, i've been scared to mount it up again) I bought a redfield which is a decent scope for the money but I want to pick up another fixed power for my 308. The two main...

    Hogue stock question

    I've seen rubber dry out and crack etc before. Will this happen to a hogue stock after a while or is it more of a rubberized material than actual rubber that wont suffer this problem.

    Cz 85

    Just picked up a used CZ 85 for a lil over four hundred at a local shop. I actually wanted a 75 or 85 when I started shopping but no one had any and those that did were asking more than what I had budgeted. Anyone else have a 75 or 85. Mine came with hogue grips which I think i'll change out...

    South Tucson FFL transfer.

    I'm looking for a dealer with the cheapest FFL transfer in the south Tucson area. So far the cheapest I've found is 40 which is double what i'm used to paying in NY of all places. Figured there had to be someone doing it for cheaper.

    308 AR Armalite or Rock River

    I've been trying to decide which to pick up and have basically come down to the two factors of reliability, and fit and finish between these two. I don't mind the proprietary parts of Rock River. I"m more curious if one or the other is more reliable/better put together. as far as specific...

    aftermarket stocks for savage long action

    What stocks are out there for a savage 111 action with a detachable magazine all the ones I seem to be able to find are only for the blind magazine versions. I'll eventually be putting a varmint barrel on it (7mm Rem Mag) and would also prefer one of those dandy aluminum bedding blocks.
