  1. Defensive Shotgun Optics

    A shotgun is not like a Claymore mine where you just follow the instructions of "front towards enemy." Beyond spitting distance, they need to be aimed. Or in daylight --pointed by sighting across the top of the barrel. But in low light you're not going to be able to point it that way. A 10"...

    Who is running a red dot on their LEVER ACTION RIFLE

    I had a 50mm red dot optic on a Marlin 39A lever action rimfire. It looked weird, but gave me faster snap shooting and tighter groups than I could get with open sights.

  3. What to Do. 10-22 scope adjustment

    A Shaw bbl did this, but the point of impact was OK with a standard Ruger barrel? Sounds like there's some kind of misalignment between the barrel and the receiver. I have heard of this happening before and I had something of a problem with it on one of my 10/22s but I still managed to zero...

  4. Scoped AK guys, please post your setup.

    My cousin put a traditional 3x-9x deer rifle scope on his Norinco (or was it Polytech?) AK, actually a MAK-90, some 20 years ago. The mount was a side-mount on the left side of the receiver that a gunsmith installed for him. We found that the rifle was only capable of about 5-6 MOA accuracy...

    Savage axis scope mount

    Scope's magnification ring (yellow) is rubbing on the scope base (the area highlighted in blue) correct? How about taking the scope and rings off the base and filing or grinding on the base and knocking a few thousands of an inch off the back end?

  6. My eyes aren't what they once were I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    As for red dots where the red spot looks like an asymmetrical shaped starburst rather than a nice round little disc, I've never cared. And I was one of the best shooters on an internationally competitive team with a .22 pistol and an Aimpoint red dot that --to my eyes with my astigmatism--...

  7. Best scope for 22LR competition?

    I've done a number of rimfire rifle competitions, and anytime people are expected to make a shot past 100 yards all the best competitors have very high end scopes with high magnification, and also an adjustable objective lens (to correct for parallax error) because you know that some rimfire...

    Riser mounts are getting out of hand

    Damn.... that goofy looking setup actually worked (for this one well-trained guy).

  9. Red dots on pistols

    MANY PEOPLE SAY Micro red dot optics, like lasers, are a crutch for poor shooters who can't be bothered to learn proper techniques. I've done a lot of training, a lot of practice, entered many competitions, and have a shelf full of trophies at home, but I'll say that these things are very...

  10. Optic on EDC or no?

    I've used full sized red dots on target pistols / raceguns for years, but only recently did I try some "concealed carry" compact sized pistols with micro red dots on them. They seem to suit me pretty well. I don't own one, yet, but I agree that they can easily let you double your effective...

    Best scope for a lever 30-30

    I'd happy with a fixed four power 1 inch tube, 32 mm front lens, and a similar sized rear (ocular) lens. But ideally, I think a lever gun should have an option for no magnification and quick shots at a running deer at 25 yards in the woods. So let's say go with a low power variable...

  12. Red dots on pistols

    Bumping this thread because.... Until yesterday, I never shot a centerfire pistol with any red dot optic, nor any firearm with a "micro red dot" that would be appropriate for daily carry on a holstered pistol. But on Saturday, I went to a TEA party / GOP / Young Republicans fundraiser and...

  13. 22 LR pistol red dot

    I disagree. I like a fairly big dot. I don't care if it covers the 10 ring in the target as long as it doesn't cover the entire "aiming black" area. I think both of the red dots are use on my .22 rimfire guns are approximately 6 MOA (minute of angle) and I wouldn't want that much smaller than...

  14. ODT brain trust advice on rangefinder

    I've never used a rangefinder that was good for over 400 yards, but that one was in the $100 price range, and I tested it at 100 and 200 yards at a long-established shooting range, and it was accurate. It gave the exact readings it should have from the firing line to the targets at those two...

  15. Red dots on pistols

    I have practiced taping-over the entire top of my pistol, covering both the front and rear sights, and shooting it by pointing the shape of the slide (or topstrap and barrel of a revolver) at the target. Got decent hits at 5 and 7 yards. I have practiced shooting in complete darkness, at small...

  16. Red dots on pistols

    This study documents a significant advantage of using small red dot optics mounted on the slide of duty pistols in the hands of law-enforcement officers and police cadets. But, the scoring zones of the targets they were using may be a little bit smaller than what would be an "acceptable hit" in...

  17. Red dots on pistols

    I don't see the practical use of a micro red dot optic on a defensive pistol when said pistol is utilized at typical self defense distances of maybe three yds, or maybe 5 yards tops. But for taking a headshot and 50 feet, sure. For a "hostage rescue shot" you should take every advantage you...
