Which: Snowpeak Max 1 Why: Because

Or, given how much I like the CVLife FFP scopes, the CVLife BearMight ballistics calculating LRF scope...

Well, turns out it was a dud. Battery would discharge while turned off. Gave the seller 11 days, Chinese company and Lunar New Year, and they never responded. Returning for refund and won't deal with Pard again. Now to find a Zulus

I was amazed how adamant they were. I was very polite and gave them a lot of detail and one response was "you are wrong!". I even contacted a German engineer I know that works for a company that builds high pressure vessels for heavy industry. Had no effect. The idea that you could just put a...

I think with the Daystar and Lyra it is more a cost limitation with regard to some of those issues. My Throne 2 was as clean and ready to shoot as any rifle I had seen. No burrs, blemishes, bad orings or loose screws. I don't polish my barrels but I always clean them upon arrival. The patches...

Reximex makes the best guns under $1,000 on the market. Meta Premium is their most expensive at around $850. And they can hang with guns 8 times more expensive.

Sold a RAW BM500X .30. Took all of 15 minutes before it was snapped up. Was undermarket priced with a very nice Hawke scope. But I have zero need (or skill) for a high quality benchrest rifle. So it was best it is going to an actual competition shooter that will use it. Was another in my...

I own: Hatsan rifles. Sold a couple a while back but for the price and semiautomatic they were great. Just moved on from semiautomatic. Still have a couple, Invader and Bullmaster, that were used for spare parts and experiments. They are operational, only work as bolt action. I just dont work on...

Even in its tactical chassis configuration it is a fairly heavy gun too.

I have 5 CVLife 5-25x56 FFP BearSwift scopes and 1 BearMight scope. Absolutely nothing can touch them in their price class and several classes above. BearSwift WAS, shipped, $155. Now with tariffs and tariff *fees* the Bearswift is $235 I have an old Leupold Mk4 and the CVLife are all better...

Springs, valves, hammers, materials it is all a game of balance. Can be as simple as the size of the oring used. It can only withstand X amount of pressure. Unregulated guns you have valve lock. Too much pressure on the poppet for the hammer to overcome. Basic design rule used to be 50%...

I have been pointing out the massive improvement in the sub $1,000 class for quite a while. Reximex Niksan Barra Snowpeak etc But the problem is between the parochial owners (I own X you should to) and the ones that had an issue 5 years ago and will never change their opinion you get a lot of...

Been printing moderator adapters and found a real weakness. The male threaded end for the moderator, especially 1/2-20, snaps off under moderate torque. Just tightening the moderator will do it. So I went about it a little different. Instead of m30x1 male to m18x1 male I printed a m30x1 male to...

Printed a bunch of various sized focus wheels. No mounting hardware. Just made them so they press on the knob tightly. A little knurling on the outside and all set. Now all my rifles (currently resident in my house) have at least a 45mm focus wheel.

Taking out the Trash Pandas about 1:00am my back camera alerted me of an animal. Looked, it was a raccoon Opened the window, clicked on the flashlight, his eyes lit up, I lit him up. Couple shakes and dead. 15 or so minutes later Raccoon #2 shows up and investigates the dead raccoon. Opened the...

Now I have to figure out all the BC and on which gun the Pard will reside.

And I'm the cheap bastige

I just bought one on optics planet new for $284. Goes with my Pard DS35-LRF I got on Ebay for $399.

I use the COTS adapters whenever possible. But there are orphan guns like the RAW BM500X with oddball attachment and there isn't any other option than printing or fabricating. .30 caliber 5/8-18 male threaded end on air stripper in CF shroud. 1/2-20 ends up with walls too thin at .30 when...

Labradar Now that I have a scope that does LRF and Ballistic Coefficients I guess I need to calculate my various BC. Luckily Optics Planet has them 55% off. Since I'm flushing money just grab another handful.
