>Leupold VX-III and Dual Dovetails for a Remington 700 CDL
April 4, 2007A customer bought a Remington 700 Classic Deluxe in 30-06 and wanted to know what to put on it for all his deer-type hunting. Whether it be caribou in the Arctic, mule deer out West, or whitetails on the plains, I use Leupold VX-III 3.5-10×40 matte scopes and Leupold Dual Dovetail rings and bases. There are brighter scopes in the same price range on the market, but none that give me the satisfaction and peace of mind of the proven reliability of these scopes, and the brand in particular. This is based on thousands I’ve sold over the counter …
>Swift Premier Scopes for High Recoiling Air Rifles
March 29, 2007Swift will be in tomorrow to update the troops on new products and do some training. I’ve been using an SPR685M on a RWS 52 Deluxe in 25 caliber for the last few months. I’ve broken quite a few scopes on this beast, and even though I’ve tried to destroy this one, it has held up perfectly. It is repeatable, looks good and is plenty bright. The included sunshade is a nice touch. I’ll keep trying to trash this item, but it looks like it’s here to stay.…
>Galco Miami Classic Anomaly
March 24, 2007I was fooling around with one of my Galco Miami Classic holsters the other night. I hadn’t worn this particular one for a while, and as I put it on I noticed that it must’ve shrunk a bit over the winter. It didn’t look any different, and the screws were in the correct position, so I concluded it must’ve shrunk. That I had grown a bit in proportion was inconceivable. Just because I eat too much sometimes and don’t excersise enough was not reason enough to believe there was that much more of me. So I grumbled a bit as …
>Simmons Universal Red Dot Scope
March 21, 2007For about forty-five bucks you can get a light duty Simmons Universal red dot sight that can be used on the 3/8″ grooves on a .22 pistol or rifle. By switching the mounting brackets from top to bottom, this sight turns into a unit that can be mounted on a standard weaver rail. Sights of this type are not what I would carry into the deer field on my shotgun, but for light duty use are a lot of fun. They easily attach to most firearms, and give beginners a good idea how much less of a problem it is …
>Weaver-style Versus 3/8" Dovetails
March 16, 2007There is confusion about base sizes. To be very basic, a Weaver-style base is 7/8″ across. 22s do not have Weaver-style bases, but 3/8″ dovetails. A 22 base fits the 3/8″ dovetails, and Weaver-style fits the wide ones. Take a peek at “The Importance of a Secure Scope Mounting System.”…
