Other thing about the Kowa is witht he changable eye piece you have some options. Also, the fixed mad eyepieces do have a pretty good eye relief! Especially the one designed in 30+mm of eye relief is almost unheard of. They do get a bit pricey though once you start to add things up! More...

Hi Laphroaig, I had someone else suggest the Kowa. Did take a look but will again. Thanks for the link Manny. Those gold rings are supposed to be pretty good as well. Forgto to look over at Midway and see what deals they had when I put the list together. Haven't pulled the trigger yet so will...

Thanks guys. That Ziess is kind of nice but expensive! Nothing around less than $1500. Would prefer to find something for a bit less. That is a good point Walkalong. Something else to consider though maybe a 16-48 might be a better compromise. After digging around on youtube, the viper and...

Hi All, OK I am in the market for a spotting scope. Kind of want to make one purchase to handle a couple of different things. Purpose 1: Use at the range, 100-200 yards normal, up to 500 yards once in a while would be nice. Purpose 2: Use for Bird watching up to couple of hundred yards or more...

Thanks for the suggestions. Got me looking in the right place now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look, was thinking that was the case My other slug gun is a 20ga bolt action with Iron sites. Wanted to make sure. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi all, have some thoughts but thought I would see what the community would suggest. Picked up the other day a closeout Remington 870 with 23" rifled barrel. I drew a second deer tag this year for an area near me that is firearm restricted, as well as heavily vegetation. I plan to shoot...

Hey Warp, True about the mags $$ depends on how many you like to have around. I have found mags for down around $30 at the gun shows and occasionally online on armslist and other places. Except maybe for glock and AR mags most mags are more in the 25-35 range from what I have seen. Maybe a...

???? :banghead: What? Are you crazy? There are plenty of arguments for and against the 40 versus 9mm. Don't want to rehash them again here. But there are reasons that for some people and usages the 40 may be better and what is needed. The biggest advantage I see and why I am seriously...

Yep, its my carry firearm as well. Though I do have a safety version. And they shoot quite well for being a very compact firearm.

Update, So I went out to the range over the weekend. 18 barrel was flawless as usually, fired everything no problems. Switched to the 26.fired some estate buck, Winchester aa, federal #4 buck. Worked just fine. Switched over to the Rio low recoil buck. Fire, JAM. Had to take everything...

Don't remember seeing any but I'll take another look to make sure. Do like those honing rods. I think the barrel came from Brownell's in the first place so if necessary will take your advice and return it. More testing to follow.

Will try it with some better ammo as you suggest. And test with both barrels to make sure of the culprit. Thanks for the thoughts. Will see what happens this weekend!

Thanks figured I would try it some more. As to ammo the initial rounds were of the better HD and 00 buck to make sure it worked. Last two were one each of Royal Rio 00 and Rio low recoil 00. It jammed on the Low recoil but was a bit difficult to get the reg 00 out. Yes I cleaned it well...

Hi All, I have a Winchester SXP Defender. About 3.5 years old. Have only put maybe 20 or so shells through it. Bought a 28" barrel for it. Out at the range had the first shot go bang and be a bit difficult to pump and clear the shell. Loaded another and shot just fine but would not allow...

Thanks nickle, Stumbled over that thread last night as well. There seems to be a 26" barrel made especially for the SXP defender. Hard as all get out to find someone with one in stock. There seems to be questions about whether that 28" barrel actually works for the defender version or not. I...

OK, May seem like a dumb question but here it goes! I know the SXP series has some capability of swapping barrels say between a bird and slug barrel. The question is I have a Winchester SXP Defender that I got a while back. Don't use it as much for home defense but it is still a backup. Can...

I took the time to really look as well and if you can afford one you just cannot beat Graffunder. CB900F helped me get mine. I'll get around to posting some pictures in a thread soon. But if you want a real 'safe' spend the couple of hundred more and get a Graffunder. Anytime you talk real safes...

You could probably add 9mm, 30 carb, 7.62, 40, 45, ..... To the list. What a dingbat. Even a 22 is a threat in the hands of a competent shooter. Wish these anti-gunners would get a clue.

I keep one around but my Handgun is the first line. Once I get to the safe and get it open then I have choices. You can argue both ways for its use or not. But the 12ga has a fairly vicious recoil for smaller people and older people. And there are so many choices these days. Cat_IT_guy...
