+2. I've used many scopes in this price range including the VX-II and imo the Burris FFII has the best glass, and is the best scope. That said, I did read an article where the Vortex Diamondback rated slightly higher, but I've never owned a Diamondback so I can't comment on it too much. I've...

I'd say $180 is fair. That's about the most I'd pay for one used in stock form, but that one does look a little nicer so that adds some value. Even for a stock one I'd pay $180 though, it's just the upper end of what I'd pay.

In that price range the Burris FFII is the best choice imo, and I've used quite a few scopes in both that price range, and the next step up. A 2-7x35 is a good choice for close shots, but honestly I prefer a 3-9x40 over a 2-7. I just prefer power up top more than I do down low to a certain...

I've had 2 VX-I's that have failed, and one of them failed twice. Another friend bought one for a .17HMR, and is failed right out of the box. I'm not at all a fan of the lower end Leupolds. The other two VX-I's I've had, I've got good deals on and changed my mind before using them and ended up...

I checked both the fore end torque and the crown, both of which are fine. I tried free floating the fore end from the barrel as suggested by some, and that only made it worse, so I put an unmodified fore end back on. The only thing I didn't change is the base. I was using a Redfield 1 piece...

I've never had one in a WSM caliber. I did read they had some magazine issues that caused jamming, but I've never owned one so can't confirm or deny that. I also think it's a much better option than any of the Remington semi auto's, but that being said I had one in a 30-06 and it was a decent...

So I've always read not to go with cheap rings, and I've used a few sets as well as a few sets of decent rings like the Burris Signature Zee rings and the Leupold rings. Obviously there is a huge difference. By cheap rings, I mean the package deal rings that come on guns, or the $7 Weavers they...

The new SWFA SS 5-20x50 as mentioned above is the way to go in my opinion.

Aren't the new Whitetail Classics still made in the Philippines? Has the quality gone way down?

Anyone used these? More specifically this 2-10x44 that Natchez sells for $60 http://www.natchezss.com/Category.cfm?contentID=productDetail&brand=SN&prodID=SN800054C&prodTitle=Simmons%202-10x44%20Whitetail%20Classic%20WA%20Riflescope%20Truplex%20Black%20Granite How are these? How is the...

For $100 I think the Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 on clearance at Cabela's and was on sale at SWFA also is a good option. It's probably the way I'd go.

I have no idea about a raffle, but with a private sale you don't have to do a background check or anything like that with handguns in a ftf sale in VA either. As long as the buyer is 18 or older, not a prohibited person, and a resident of the same state you can sell it to them. All of this...

I voted for the Marlin 336 because it said used. That being said, I'd not even consider buying one of the recent ones since Remington took over. Otherwise if you get an older one it's a decent choice. That being said, there are a lot of other guns that would be fun too. A 10/22 would be one of...

So using Breakfree CLP voids their warranty? This is a company I never want to deal with. I lube most of my guns with Breakfree CLP and use it as oil and I've never had any issues with any of them.

I think the other guys pretty much covered this and they were able to explain it a lot better than I was, but this isn't correct. If you pull on the trigger without the trigger safety pulled it does click and drop the hammer so to speak, but it doesn't drop the firing pin. You have to recock it...

I've heard lots of talk about this lately, but what exactly do you guys use? I'm just not sure what to buy. What are the pro's and con's to it?

So how do you clean it? Do you just fill a tub with water and dump a little vinegar in there and then the brass and let it sit for a while? Or scrub on it, or what?

A friend and I were talking who has a .223 and it was brought up that 5.56 guns can shoot 5.56 or .223 as they are interchangeable, but not vise versa. So that made me wonder. When reloading, can you use 5.56 brass in place of .223 brass and just load it to .223 specs and shoot it in a gun rated...

So a couple of weeks ago I was at the range and picked up a ton of brass someone had left on the ground. The problem was some of it had dirt inside of it. All of it was dirty on the outside with the exception of about 60 pieces of rifle brass. Anyway, I didn't have time to mess with it until...

Yes, that's not normal. It should click and you have to recock the bolt, but it shouldn't actually fire.
