If I don't get that I'm looking at a Bushnell Banner 6-24X40. I have several Bushnells and haven't had too many problems. The one that's currently on the rifle is already taking some abuse.
I dont have a clue. It was cheap enough so i got it.
The bushnell banner 4-12 on my AR has held up good. Even slung it hard as i could and it landed on the side of a bank. Checked zero and it was only off by 2" at 100yds.

Millett 6-25X56 LRS-1 Scope (BK81007) - .1 Mil Click Illuminated Long Range Riflescope
That is probably what's going on my 17hmr
One word comes to mind. Heavy.
I got one on my 300wm. TPS rings were expensive.

Thats an awesome looking setup. I may get that scope when this one takes a crap.

I plan to set the trigger right at the line to keep it light as possible, but safe at the same time.

The only way i really check a trigger is set it how you like it and drop the rifle a few times to make sure it can withstand a accidential drop.

Bought a Lee Pro 1000 to reload 9mm and built a bench for reloading. My press should be here on Saterday. Here is my reloading station.


Got the Rifle Basix trigger installed and set at about 2#.
and a shot out at the range

Is that private or do people leave all their trash out there?

How are you liking it?

it open to the public but you almost need a 4x4 to get up there. Its not bad. Better than driving 1.5 hours to the nearest gun range.

Looks like fun. I'm jealous. Wife lived in Tuscon for a few years. Graduated out there, hated it.

Has anyone tried a Accushot Scoop? I saw one at the gun store the other day. It was a 8-32x56, has illuminated red/green mildot reticle. side parallax. Looked very clear in the store.
