    Nightforce shv vs trijicon accupoint

    I can only speak of the durability of the Night Force SHV. I was out in Idaho in October on a quad with the rifle strapped to a rear rack. After 5 days of ripping up and down small rough trails, we tested the rifles on rocks from 150 out to 280 yards Dialing for the range. The SHV was perfectly...

    Ruger SFAR 308 as a backcountry rifle?

    for the failure to feed, I think that may be the magazine, but need to test other mags. The suppressor definitely contributes to the increased fowling in the gas block and receiver area A little worse than 223 and 6.8spc with a suppressor. I have not kept a round count, but should be somewhere...

    Ruger SFAR 308 as a backcountry rifle?

    Yes and the SD was 14.4 and the numbers for the 155 gr. It is a tad hot in the SFAR and the brass is on the verge of not be reloadable. Factory ammo is also shown. That factory ammo is slow, but fairly accurate. I am a little weary of trying other factory ammo after the experience with the...

    Swfa 3-9 diopter adjustment

    I had sent my 3-9 back to SWFA, and just received it’s replacement Have not had a chance to play with it and check the focus yet. I do see that they are using a new fancy box instead of the old plane Jane box.

    Swfa 3-15 is legit

    I mounted a 3-15 SWFA on my custom Ruger #1 in 6mm CM. Actually like it better then the 3-9 which was having some focus issues. I sent the 3-9 back to SWFA to see if there was an issue with it. Did not have the same focus issue with the 3-15. I am not picky on glass, but do want a sharp...

    Swfa 3-9 diopter adjustment

    I am actually having the same issue. I was shooting it side by side with the SWFA 3-15 and had no issues with the 3-15. Also have a 6x and a 10x and no issues those either. I will be calling them this week. Drives me bonkers trying to focus on the reticle on the target dot.

    Chiggers

    the chiggers are long gone when the itching starts so the finger nail polish is useless. The junk they leave behind is what causes the itching. What does help is not scratching the bite. Another thing that helps is applying extra strength acne medication like Clearasil. The sialic acid...
