    Alumahyde for barreled actions.

    I have used it on a tikka. So far Im happy with it. I really like the "parkerizing grey" color. Its comes out as a matte grey with a faint greenish hue. Keys are: - shake it for as long as it say to (like 10 min or something crazy like that) -apply on a warm day with no wind (or inside version...

    Swarovski SLC vs Zeiss SFL?

    I just bought an 8x32 SFL. First one i got was a total lemon, abosolutely filthy inside. Second one is better. I dont think the QC on japanese zeiss is quite what it should be, based on a limited experience. Just make sure you buy from somewhere that you can return. I was willing to put up with...

    Impossibly vague question for a first post? You'll fit in just fine here. Welcome

    VCRs (Very Compact Rifles)

    I’ve been keeping an eye on this. They have been “in development” for a long long time. I don’t have any high hopes of them delivering something to market any time soon. Hope I’m wrong though.

    VCRs (Very Compact Rifles)

    I’m also following the https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/ultralight-ultralight-rifles.329402/page-18 thread, so if anyone has figured out a straight pull or super light bufferless ar10, I’m all ears.

    VCRs (Very Compact Rifles)

    Good stuff here. Thanks for info. I’ll do some research. I’m not set on a bolt gun. But definitely want mag feed. I’m very intrigued by the hobbit gun stuff. Will go back and read through it again.

    VCRs (Very Compact Rifles)

    6cm, 6.5cm, 7mm-08, 308 is what I had in mind. But open to ideas. I’d like to use for CO deer and elk and I’m not on the 223 for elk train, yet.

    VCRs (Very Compact Rifles)

    I’m very interested in a VCR and looking for suggestions. For me this requires two things: 16in barrel and folding stock. Economical is a big plus. Short action cartridge. If I had the bucks a seekins slam would end the discussion but that is out of my price range. The sig cross and cross trax...

    CO point holders: how have you changed your draw strategy?

    I gave up collecting points years ago and glad that I did. I would rather hunt limited low-point units that OTC on a semi regular basis. Deer on the other hand I have 10ppt and no idea what to do with them.

    Dust inside Zeiss SFLs?

    I just received my zeiss sfl binos from B&H (listed as "used" but arrived looking new). In the past Ive heard you can take a look at the finishing and QC of the interior on the optic by shining a flashlight up through the occular lens and looking for dirt, dust, smudges on the interior lenses so...

    Let’s play a game. Build me an optics system with $5K

    EL range 10x42 and a tripod. Done. I have a nice spotter and rarely use it. Don’t want to carry it and not often I’m glassing from the truck.

    Shot Show 2024 Mega Thread

    Strong opinions about stuff that doesn’t matter is the beating heart of the internet. Just having some fun :) I would like to see a 6cm marlin express though!

    Shot Show 2024 Mega Thread

    Very interesting to see the social media fetishizing of tactical lever guns spill over to actual development of new products. The aero looks cool but until there is a better ammo option forget it. 45-70 is a joke (unless you have Bears, with capital B). 30-30? I don’t need to spend ammo prices...

    Best Sub-Compact 8x32 Bino: T*FL vs UVHD?

    I went with the SFL 8x30. They will be here next week. FLs were not a cost effective option (high priced eBay listings). UVHD+ look nice despite the mixed reviews, I may upgrade to those if the SFLs don't work out.

    The tape tells the tale. I.e. just read the old threads on this site. That you have to ask the question should tell you something.

    Tikka jumped the shark. They are superb tools in a stainless version around 750$

    Best Sub-Compact 8x32 Bino: T*FL vs UVHD?

    The only reason I’m not considering the EL or zeiss SF is the larger form factor. I really want something compact for my use so that rules out a few of the best options.
