I live in a rural setting and occasionally shoot feral cats that are obviously neglected and a nuisance to my barn cat. No dogs recently, but the lesson is the same. I will never, ever shoot unless I know I have a shot that I'm virtually % 100 sure that I won't miss. The reason should be obvious. If...

The Signature Rings are outstanding. I do have a ring lapping tool that I will never use again. They are exactly what Burris advertises them to be. They self align and are a snap to use. Here's the real beauty. With the offset inserts and windage adjustable bases you can pretty much zero your scope ...

You are right on the money with that comment. Some of his other stuff is OK for "quick and dirty" answers, but not scopes.

Mueller's are OK scopes, certainly not junk, but they are not top quality scopes by any means.

Sure, the deer in North Carolina are very unique animals, very different from those in all of the other 49 States. :roll:

The only blight on an FV is the stock, the same stock everyone fusses about as being flimsy and too rough from the mold. I whole heartedly agree with Glenn's comments. The only problem with the FV is that "butt ugly" stock. It's functional, but it is ugly and It does seem to be a bit flim...

Whoaa there....Leupold NOT honoring their warranty? I smell a rat there buddy. What kind of rat do you smell? I have no agenda if that's what you're implying. Sorry, I insulted your favorite scope. I don't own a Leupold, but I have shot with them and they are of superb quality. I was shopping for a...

I have a Burris Signature Select 4-16X44 and it is outstanding. I too heard the stories about Leupold not honoring their warranty and decided against them for that reason and their price. I bought the Mil Dot Version, but IMHO it is not needed with the .204. You can sight it in to shoot to 300 yards...

but everything I have read so far on the Internet says good things about Mueller scopes and that they are comparable in quality to brands such as Leupold. Not a chance. I've shot a Mueller side by side with a Burris Signature Select on a bright sunny day and there is no comparison. Day and Night di...

Since I've been posting for awhile, I guess it's past time to introduce myself. I grew up around firearms from the time I was able to walk. Hunted small game and such from about age 9-10. Went big game hunting near the Smokies at age 14. Have acquired several rifles, shotguns, and pistols and have r...
