    Rifle scope question: FFP, mil/mil, capped windage turret, under 25 OZ

    What about the Primary Arms GLX (or GLX4)? On paper they sound pretty good: They have zero locking windage and elevation, are FFP (could be a negative), have three sizes (2.5-10x44, 4-16x50 and 6-24x50) all of which come in under 25oz. Not a lot of reviews online; but everything I see is...

    Old savage 110

    Sadly, that doesn't mean it was done correctly. The reason for trigger/safety mechanism being suspect vs the bolt is that your firing pin is held back by the same piece of metal that acts as the bolt release lever. Basically, the only thing that can let the firing pin go is related to the...

    Old savage 110

    I would say you need to actually be cleaning all parts related to your trigger -- and possibly replacing the trigger (if anything). How old of a 110 is it? does it have the flathead slot to remove the rear of the bolt, or is it an allen-key style?

    5.56 bolt gun?

    Not sure if it was mentioned, but it sounds like you got a M855 ammo varriant, which is the steel cored penetrator rounds. Nice score for these times -- it's ok for plinking/practicing and will shoot in a wide variety of twist rates. The downside is it's not exactly known for being particulary...

    Leupold GR 10-20x40mm Compact

    It is indeed light (like right at 1lb). The Nikon ED50 is pretty darn light too (maybe 4 or 5 oz more). I remember being extremely impressed with the ED50 after that little Leupold, and I'd definitely get one of them before the GR 10-20x40. Not trying to talk bad about Leupold, as I really...

    Leupold GR 10-20x40mm Compact

    I use to have one. I picked it up locally for a good price (used) with the intent of having something to get a little closer look (vs my binos) without having to pack a big spotter (had a Theron Saker at the time). I wanted to use it free-handed, or leaning against something solid... but found...

    WTS Nikon Monarch HG 10x42

    Thanks for the bump(s). I got a good deal on them... and the lenses aren't 100% perfect. I feel it would be fair. Still available!

    WTS Nikon Monarch HG 10x42

    SOLD I bought these (used) to try out, and although they're great glass, they're not for me (I'm a 8x42 guy, but like trying new things). They do show signs of use: The hinge has some worn off finish and the objective lenses both have some minor marks (a couple of very light and small...

    How are you carrying your 15x binos?

    I keep my 15x Meostars in their semi-soft Meopta case in the main pocket of mypack. There's no way I would just set them in their loose -- even with lense covers on (they fall off fairly easy). Another option you might consider is to wrap them up in a large clothing item like a jacket, but to me...

    Doublers on 15x56

    I have a doubler for my meostar 15x56 binoculars. It's okay for trying to get a closer view at something, but the view seems pretty narrow and tunneled, and quite a bit darker / dimmer. I got it in hopes it could replace a spotter in my pack, and I did find it was way better than the Nikon ED50...

    Meopta new binoc?

    Thanks for clarifying -- *smacking forehead with palm of hand Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    This might be a stupid question, from an absolute newbie.

    If any of my optics were to 'spontaneously combust' I would hope it's my spotter and not anything else. I love Rokslide... but this place often makes me feel like I need more (or better) gear to be any kind of decent hunter (...which is mostly false). This is generalizing, but if I had $2000...

    Meopta new binoc?

    I wouldn't sweat it too much. At least you'll have your new B1.1s for this hunting season! Sounds like we won't see the new ones until the end of archery season (Idaho). And I'm not really sure if the "Plus" models will really have much different view (if any). I also imagine they might...

    Meopta new binoc?

    FYI. Got this information from Meopta the other day. I'm going to give the MeoPro Air 8x42 a try. "The MeoPro Air is an open bridge design binocular that comes in a little bit lighter than the MeoStar of equivalent magnification / objective size. The glass in the MeoPro Air is equivalent to...

    Higher or Lower Magnification for AZ Canyon Country?

    I have no first-hand experience with 8.5x50 DBs, but the specs show only a 283' field of view. I've heard they're bright and clear (for what they are), but WOW that has got to be a bit of a tunnel view. 8x binoculars are commonly well over 400'+ FOV. 10x are commonly 320'+ and 12s can even be...

    I think we were typing that out at the same time. Agreed -- great deal, and great guys!
