    Swarovski NL Pure Binocular

    Think so? Bird geeks make disagreeing with that statement part of the freshman orientation. Independent that, optical quality in itself might be tied, but not the single most important factor for me selecting one. Learned the expensive way to try before I buy another, and that the best...

    Sold Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 ANIB

    These are BFN. I put the neckstrap and lens covers on before playing with them for a few hours. These arrived in the country from Zeiss at the end of June, so about as recent production as there is. Never been in the field, first owner, etc., and haven't registered them with Zeiss (if thats...

    First handgun, what would you get?

    Negative... at least not for someone who hasn't shot a gazillion rounds through a handgun. The Army adopted the P320 (in part) because: -They decided a worthwhile criteria for selection, or at least a tier one category consideration, was how someone who doesn't know what a handgun should feel...

    Did I get jipped by Vortex?

    I believe LOW still does the Razor riflescopes, but they moved binos to PRC sometime in '17.

    Did I get jipped by Vortex?

    This whole thing actually makes a lot of sense, and I wish I had noticed earlier. -Vortex moved production from Japan to China for their Viper and Razor series a few years ago (2017 I believe). On the Razor, MSRP and MAP pricing was reduced from 1500 / 1150 to 1249 / 979, respectively. I...

    Did I get jipped by Vortex?

    Marbles, Ive said the same thing many times: buy good stuff so you don't need customer service. Easy. I think I've just stopped considering them mutually exclusive. That's especially hard because I can't think of many cases where that prejudice isn't a safe bet. Reliable stuff and "good"...

    Did I get jipped by Vortex?

    Fair point... its not necessarily what it looks like. In my case I've dealt with them as a customer and on behalf of mutual customers, and surprisingly the only one of those calls was the warranty type (rivet was coming loose on a neck strap, which was promptly replaced with a new one...

    MR Bino Harness Magnet vs Compass?

    I imagine many use GPS instead... but wouldntchathink the compass thing would have crossed someone's mind during design? Guess someone could have considered it and proceeded anyways, but that makes even less sense to me and my little brain. Know anyone making one that dumps forward like a mail...

    MR Bino Harness Magnet vs Compass?

    Interesting stuff there. Do you think the mentioned distances are exaggerated, being calibration standoff distances vs. "atta-way" accuracy? I dont want straight enough to notice half a degree, for the handheld uses, but if its throwing a field that wide it could definitely be an issue. Also...

    First handgun, what would you get?

    Great gun. Faster draw though? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I might say it's more true on paper than reality, and I suspect that even a robot in laboratory conditions would make that difference small to the point of irrelevance. Considering the audience, my hitch there is adding more mud...

    Fire extinguisherfor truck

    H3R makes a nice Halotron extinguisher that appeared to be a good replacement for Halon. Most are common diameters and should be easy to find a vehicle mount to cooperate. They are not what I'd call inexpensive...

    Pulling doubles

    Very informative. I haven't tried fact checking with any of the states' LIS, was just going off what the RV geeks say. https://camperreport.com/towing-a-second-trailer-behind-a-fifth-wheel-a-complete-guide/

    Did I get jipped by Vortex?

    Skip the email and just call Vortex. They have some of the most pleasant customer service people to deal with, and they will not make you fuss about it. Be friendly and tell them what happened and they'll probably offer to make it right before you finish. It might work even if you aren't...

    Pulling doubles

    I was thinking work. On the question, there are a few states where double-trailers are a no-no. It's probably not a concern out west, but the highway patrol of the entire east coast, Washington, and Oregon would love to get an up-close-view of your rig.

    MR Bino Harness Magnet vs Compass?

    I'm trying to pick a harness and it's of course harder than it sounds. I've struck out on finding the one that I've invented in my head, and am now playing lesser of two evils roulette. Anyways, when my google-fu let me down I called Mystery Ranch to ask about their magnetic clasp's field...

    Suppressor caliber question

    In a past life I had the chance to play with some flavor of sound measuring device used for OHSA safety inspections (no idea what type, gov property). We set it up on a firing line behind about 15 silencers and even more guns. My takeaway was that some things sounded louder but weren't, some...
