Affordable scope for .22 bolt action?
I am Groot! replied to ReeferMac's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Nikon Rimfire - this is the only scope that I own that is not a Leupold and I love it. Won't break the bank and is easy to adjust and the BDC is great. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-P-RIMFIRE-Rifle-Scope-Black/dp/B00I3M634E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456119084&sr=8-2&keywords=nikon+22+rimfire+scope -
I agree with this statement and Leupold's warranty/customer service is great. At the same time, you are hard pressed to see anything bad about the other two optics. I have thought about the magnifier, but I am running three things, sights-red dot-magnifier. This might not be a big deal at all. Once you add a magnifier you are over a $1000. If I am going to do this, I might as well just get an Acog.

On Friday I picked up a Ruger 556fb, I am very excited, but I am relatively new to this platform. It has Troy sites, that are supposed to be great from everything I have read, but I would like to put an optic on it that will be a catch all. All the scopes and binoculars that I have ever owned except one Nikon have been Leupold, so I am strongly leaning towards the VXR. In my research I came across the Vortex Crossfire and the Bushnell AR. All three of these are illuminates and they are 1-4 with a 20mm tube. I think that this will work best for what I want. Any thoughts on these would be helpful as all the review I have read on line are favorable for all three. Money doesn't grow on trees, but I have no problem spending money on what I want. If something more economical will be just as effective I will happily buy it. Also thinking about a seethrough mount. Thanks in advance for your help. All the links are from Amazon, so you should be safe.

Knife of the day Feb 19th 2016
I am Groot! replied to Grand Torino's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
That one I'd beautiful, but I am looking forward to a specific knife of the day. -
The wave and skeletool are the only ones I own. They were the only ones that I thought I would ever want, but I started looking at the MUT and am thinking of picking one of those up.
-
The bottle opener was a major plus, It saved my marriage. No more chips on the edge of the counter and table.
-
Looks like you are well underway. What type of optic are you going to run?

Any interest in a Centerfire Biathlon in Tennessee?
I am Groot! replied to Matt in TN's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
I would be in for the 5k. -
Yes, the one I the pic. It is old school, but nothing wrong with that.
-
The one you have is a tank.
-
I have never had a problem with any of the Leathemans that I have had. I currently have the Wave that I only carry on occasion, but has never let me down. I used to carry it every day, but I did not like it on my belt and it was to big in my pocket. My EDC is now a leatherman skeletool cx. It fits my hand and pocket well for daily practical use. I also do not like a serrated edges and this particular model has the staight edge. It also has some carbon fiber parts to make it lighter. I highly recommend the skeletool.

Being from West Texas I have a hard time eating Mexican around here. If there was not a little old lady in the back that didn't speak English and her only job was to make tortillas all day, you didn't get my business. Satco and Oscars are about the only Mexican places I will eat at in this neck of the woods. There is a little place in Fairview that is good, but I don't head that way offten.
-
I use to think the same thing when I first moved here.
-
This place is my favorite. Their regulate pizzas are good, but their specialty pizzas are the best. Artichoke with bacon and mushroom; bbq chicken with bacon and and japs; the Mexican Pizza and the Vandy. You cannot go wrong. Their happy hr is great at well. I believe that it $2 Shinner on tap. I go to the one off Hillsboro. I like pizza perfect, but I am not a Nick's fan.

I am on my phone, do you live anywhere near Franklin? I would like to see your set up if you don't mind. There are some great razors in that $90 range. I was planning on getting a base model Dovo until the wife got me the Baxter.
-
I actually went to his house, he is into traditional archery as well. I used to be big into that back in Texas. He has so many nice razors it is not even funny. He has multiple double ducks in mint condition with the box.
-
I have not tried my hand at sharpening yet. I am planning on getting a decent set up and then practicing with my other razors. I have sent them off in the past, no more than they need to be sharpened it has not been a big deal. I just want to do it all my self, but stones are not cheep.
-
I am also addicted to straight razors. Wife got me a Baxter Blue Steel for Christmas! Not going to hijack the thread. It is my first serious razor. I have a couple nice refurbished ones from a guy in Hermitage.
-
If you are looking for help with fixing your addiction, you have come to the wrong place.
-
I think if this one sells it will happen. But it is hard to drop 700 on one after you pay transfer fees and background. If you buy one in a store add another $100. I am still close to giving it a shot.
-
My thoughts exactly. I would like to put a 1-4-20 in it.
-
I am watching a used one on GB.
-
I try my best too, but the wife and kids keep getting in the way. It's too bad I love my family.
-
I have always wanted one. I have never seen one in person, only online. They are less expensive than the no1, but I bet you will be feeling the recoil for a while.
-
Any one own one of these or have any experience with them. I shoot a lot of 38/357 and have been considering one for some time. I don't really know what its purpose would be other that it looks like fun. If it would make a decent hunting rifle then it may be worth picking up. I have read several reviews online, but would like to hear from someone that is not getting paid to review guns. http://www.ruger.com/products/rotaryMagazine77357/models.html
