Went squirrel hunting sometime back with party here on site (Note Bench!), and had first opportunity to try 8x BRF Leica.

Worked extremely well in team with Custom 700 .204. This has got to be in the Top 10 all time great glass!

That was one of the first production numbers made for the Winchester CFA WSM action, so it took a little longer to get it, but well worth the wait in my view. (About 3-4 months if I recall correctly.) Actually took longer to get 28" Lilja 3 groove than it did to get the stock.

The A-5 is a remarkable stock in my opinion. Here is a 7WSM Non-Ruger on one.

Took it to the gravel pit and shot it out of the window of truck with window rest at about 75 yards, just to get it on the paper. Fired 10 rounds or so and now need to clean it.

Seemed to shoot a little over an inch without touching Hick's tuner. That is next from bench rest. Seems promising so far.

Here is factory description of various formulations: Loctite 222 - Low Strength (LOC-22221) Use Loctite 222 where occasional adjustments of small fasteners may be required. Small hand tools can be used to overcome the adhesive seal. Best for 1/4” and smaller fasteners. Temp. range: -65º to ...

Well, I finally got rifle back from Smith with all hardware modifications complete to include the following: 1. New Trigger, Spring, and Hicks kit. 2. Trigger job reduced let off to a very fine 2.5 pounds. 3. Total gunsmith work cost to modify stock for Hicks and install and modify other hardware an...

Some of you know that I only buy one brand of scope (USO), however today while at the gun store picking up Leupold 30mm rings for my .204 Ruger #1, I had a chance to fondle the subject scope. I must say I was impressed. Even out the window (bad idea because you add the distortion of the window to th...

thinking we were going to carry around RPGs and machine guns

You know I just bet there's some importer sitting on a warehouse, just waiting for the law to change so he so he can fill the gun stores with them.

Of course, sometimes I wax a little bit cynical!

Parallax is a useful tool when shooting at longer ranges. The scales printed on scopes should be treated as a general guide. To adjust it focus on the target at range and while looking at the target move your head up and down. If the point of impact in the scope changes select a different setting un...

After reading this topic maybe I am out of my league in asking questions in portion of the forum critter you are brutal I am sorry that some of us novice people offend your intelligence with poor terminology and improper use of technical terms but we are here to learn and in order for us to learn w...

Here, if you want to have some fun print out the following and put it down range. See how many lines you can resolve at what size. Useful for comparing two scopes as well:

Yes, of course matte and shiny. Oops, I misspelled them. Please feel free to correct my spelling anytime. :D What brought this up is that I looked at a Winchester Scope the other day that appeared bright and clear. Amazing at first blush and only $49.95. Then I looked at a dollar bill the guy had ta...

Humorously, I am just waiting for a Black mat finished scope to be characterized by the term "Bright and Shinny." I see "clear and bright", "Crystal Clear", etc used when what I sure they are attempting to describe is Contrast and Resolution. This is not of course a cri...

cooperscool: Now, that is one very sweet pair of rifles you've got there buddy! Absolutely beautiful. It appears there's a NF in my future too. Skipper has had his way with me...... ;) I agree totally with Rick, that is some beautiful wood there. I have one of the less expensive ones, a Model 57 an...

You know it occurs to me (perhaps rather humorously) that your test proceedure is a fairly decent test of your camera optics, given the general improvement in scope glass of late.
