Sounds ugly!!!

This project is already done guys! Thanks for the recommendations but its a little late now.

Huh???

I promise to get better pictures after the meprolights and vz ETC's!

Shop owner and painter both talked me into doing the mags! Said they've done 100's! If the cerakote can hold up on barrels, slides and other moving parts the mags should be no exception! I dropped 2 off and will probably drop a 3rd off next week before he coats my kimber! The shop was awesome...

So should I do the mags? Maybe just 1?

The mags I have are brand new Kimber mags. The service includes 2 mags in the price. I'm debating wether to have just 1 done so I have matching mag or get 2 done. You guys wouldn't even have the mags coated? I'm dropping the Kimber off tomorrow after work and in super excited. Ill post pics...

I understand your thought process however this isn't my first kimber with finish issues. You'd think with what they charge for a firearm they could step up there game in the finishing department a little. I found a reputable local paint shop that will cerakote the gun for $100. It's a paint...

AZ, very nice I've heard a lot about the robar coatings. A little out of my price range though. I think I'm sold on cerakote. Any suggestions on good finishers.

I recently acquired a Kimber Ultra Carry II .45. The gun is awesome however the finish is terrible. The slide has spots where bluing is missing and the aluminum frame has wear from slide movement and magazine insertion as well as a few scratches. The gun is definitely well used but for the price...

Update: thanks for all the help guys. I couldn't decide between crossfire and prostaff so I bought both! The nikon has won the spot on my off hand rig and the crossfire was returned for a refund. The crossfire was a very good looking scope but the nikons crystal clear glass and better eye...

It was a vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 priced at $149.99. It was marked made in the Philippines which would make sense if it was a diamondback, maybe they had the wrong tag on the scope!

I checked both the nikon and vortex out yesterday at bass pro however they didn't have the magnification I was looking for. To be honest I think the vortex had better glass and they were both stamped made in Philippines. I also called vortex and they explained the crossfire II was completely...

Hi fellas I'm building my second 10/22 which is a off hand plinking/steel/squirrel gun. I already have my bench 10/22 so this will only be for offhand. I've spent days reviewing scopes and the last 3 I've narrowed it down to are: Vortex crossfire II 2-7x32 Nikon prostaff 2-7x32 Nikon prostaff...

It's been a year since the start of this thread, any updates from crossfire 2 owners yet! I'm seriously considering one of these for my 10/22!
