    $60 Barska spotting scope has done me fine. 60x magnification and it’s pretty clear.

    Too much.
    I also have a Vortex CF2 6-24x50 coming. I'm gonna be drowning in scopes.

    Anyone interested in a Nikon P223 3x32? Lightly used, $75 shipped no rings

    Also have a Simmons 3-9x32 - no rings - $25 shipped

    Used optic planet for the Mueller

    Used a dealer from another forum for the Vortex CF2 and got it for less than eperticity or GovX.

    Has anyone every purchased anything from Outfitters Emporium?

    They have a discontinued scope I am interested in, but I am unable to purchase it direct from their web site. I called and got an answering machine.

    They seem rather Cheaper-Than-Dirt-ish - just want to be sure they are legit.

    Atleast she is open to tolerating it if you hook her up. My chic just stays salty and acts like I brought some demon home.

    Shitty eye club lol.

    I was shocked how clear the glass is on this scope for the money. In fact, the vortex coming in tomorrow is going on my BiL's rifle.

    So um, let's talk about form 1 suppressors. Anyone do one? Did you convert a solvent trap?

    Ruger 10/22 with Bull barrel. I have it sighted at 100 yards and hitting MOA with CCI 40 grain competition.

    Due to wind & velocity MOA is not as consistent as I like but it is possible.

    I took the bipod off my CZ and went back to bags. The groups were much better.

    Also fixed my eye relief/cheek weld with a little padding. Didn't take much at all

    Added flair lol

    I imagine I could do better with bags. But I've practiced quite a bit with the bi-pod that I feel comfortable enough hitting the 100 yrd targets. I never really see me going out that far besides for comp or range days anyway.

    If you’re talking oil filter “solvent trap” I’d shy away. There are good form 1 kits available that are pretty easy to finish.
