I guess the last election is as good excuse as any for falling off posting board lol. I certainly haven't let up participating in all the other activities that make up your typical life long gun enthusiasts. I even have all my pistol braces removed, replaced, and secured, just don't have the...
Yup your right about good glass. I wish I never sold my Zeiss Conquest with the gun I sold 8 years ago. Too expensive now even on sale for my blood. Until I bought that scope I never knew what good glass meant. I could see clearer with that scope then my spotting scope, the definition was so...
It wasn't that long ago you could get the Crossfire scopes in high powers for about $200. They have really jumped up in price. Anyway I went ahead and ordered that Nikon to put on a 17 HMR Savage bolt. Hopefully it's gentel enough.
In the military between us range masters, at 25 yard reduced targets, if you weren't cutting holes in the bullseye you weren't very good. However the annual service NRA matches separated the real experts from the rest of us. I never could score above average out of the hundreds of competitors...
I guess it all depends how great a long range rifle one has. When I owned my AR50 BMG with 30" detachable aircraft HB, no midrange scope seemed to be handle the pressure wave and my groups at 300 yards were 6" apart. It wasn't until I invested in a Zeiss Conquest that I could shoot 3 inch groups...
Well I've emailed them back twice with the facts and they won't return. So I'll probubly contact my Visa card company next. But yeah I've learned my lesson and it's a ethically falling world we're now living in so I'm not supprised just disapointed.
Well of course Gunbroker is a whole different business model like Ebay giving much more control to both the direct seller to buyer for mostly used guns, and a built in incentive to deal fairly. An attempt to willfully defraud on Gunbroker and that person seller or buyer are deplatformed. But yes...
To your credit I almost hate to admit your right. I'm a business man myself with a Christian work ethic so my customers love me. And while most of my online buys have been great, it only takes a few burns to spoil it for the good Sam's. I have too many anyway lol and need to get a table at the...
You can't alway do a comprehensive close inspection. I.e. clean the rifle to see how dirty it is beyond factory test. Disassembly for signs of modification or tampering, it's beyond the scope of a seasoned armory tech. But of course acceptable to the novice having no clue. Nevertheless I realize...
Lessons learned in conclusion after recieving used, demo, retured used guns, that were reboxed sold as new 20% of the time, from 3 online vendors has been tiresome and depressing. The names of the vendors make no difference suffice it to say stay away from small discount promised advertisers and...
Greetings ship mates. I'm a 30 year retired Navy/Coast Guard vet. After a career spent as a range master and weapon system trainer, the hobby of shooting guns was not a desired priority. In fact it took 14 years of retirment for me to get the bug back. Although I did spend those first years...
