    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Posted 3 days ago. Ilya talks a bit about the SWFA line. More importantly, he drops tidbits about what's coming afterward. Below are the important snippets from the first hour. (I didn't watch the second hour) Video's timestamp followed by Ilya quotes in bold. Followed by my opinion on what...

    Best rangefinder brand for longevity????

    I recently underwent a similar exercise for rf binos. I got the leica 3200.com's for the better glass. But the rf is not as good as Vortex. Nor is the warranty. Optical quality is very important to me, but hope I didnt make the wrong choice

    Realistic MOA Expectations vs Marketing

    It's different for everyone. Mine would be under 1.0" all the time but I'm not sure either barrel I own truly does that I wouldn't claim that caliber has any inherent affect on accuracy. Cartrige sure, but not caliber. Just reading the gun mfr's fine print on the MOA guarentee is enough to...

    Best rangefinder brand for longevity????

    Depending on how you term "longevity", a Vortex might be the best option The unit might crap out every 5 years just like your Sig, but you would be able to immediately get it replaced for free at any time via their warranty Everything of theirs I've seen has been as good as the Sig...

    How important are rain pants

    obviously nice for morning dews and any amount of rain or wet snow. Even in dry snow, if spot&stalking they are very nice to have vs not

    Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A

    I do the same as what you describe. The Hatch fits that role pretty nicely. I wrongly assumed Reburn was talking about a triple-pull Ckye, since that is more appropriate comparison to the Hatches. So my questions to him were based on that assumption

    Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A

    I gotta ask, at that cost and weight, why do you not just run a premium tripod? And do you leave the Ckye on your gun while hunting? A triple pull at 3lbs is so close to being the weight of a tripod, that I'm not sure I'd buy one even if it was priced like a Hatch I've played with all three...

    Kydex Cheek Riser on Carbon Fiber Stock

    I didn't care to risk squeezing the shell too hard so I drilled an oversized hole and bedded aluminum pillars in it. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/diy-carbon-fiber-cheek-peice.337720/ Used a sharp endmill and plunged all the way through The advice above about using a brad point and not...

    Bino Harnesses

    The enclosed Marsupual harnesses are the best. Full stop They do use a magnet. That magnet will throw off a kestral's compass if you get it too close. Thats their only con

    Annealing causing pressure increase

    Pressure is the same. Its the behavior of the brass that's different. Soft brass behaves more plastic than elastic. On firing, brass instantly grows to the chamber size, steel chamber grows a tiny bit, and then both the steel chamber and brass relax back to size. Anealled brass will relax less...
