I have the XDS and would not even consider anything else. If I'm staking my life on a gun/cartridge combo, I want something big in caliber but easy to conceal. The XDS fits the bill. I don't have large hands. I do however have complete control of the XDS and would highly recommend it for a carry...

I'm in the process of obtaining a Sparrow. It was either that or the Spectre II. Decided to go the newer route. I just bought a M&P22 pistol on sale. Nice little 22 to play with plus use as host to Sparrow. I also have to get two barrels cut & threaded......Buckmark cut to 4" and a Ruger 10/22...

Hi Fellas- I decided to start casting bullets for the 9mm. Have any of you M&P 9mm owners slugged the bore of your pistol? What bore diameter did you come up with? I'm getting .355". I'm not getting 1911 accuracy out of my M&P 9mm, but I think I might be able to improve it somewhat. What kind...

We're Waitin'! How's the thickness of the duplex reticle? To wide or about right??

Thanks C&L!!

The trend seems to be more magnification and definitely a larger objective lens 50mm or more. I can understand it if you're trying to shoot in extremely low light, but I'm far from convinced that you need a 50 mm lens for shooting in the daylight hours. I'm old & old school line of thinking. A...

What is the diameter in inches of the objective lens on the 2.5x10 power scope? I believe it's a 38mm lens, but with the thichnes of the metal, etc., it'll be larger than 38 mm, whatever that would be in inches.That's the one I'm wanting to buy to use on my AR15.

Well, they say you can only shoot as good as you can see. BUT, there's overkill too. If your shots are going to be 300yards or under on groundhogs, I don't think you'll need 20x or the 50mm objective lens. For me, 12x would be the maximum I'd use and with a 40mm objective lens. Too high...

Now we're gettin' somewhere......Is lens definition nice & sharp out to the edges at all magnification settings on the riflescope?

Well, I gotta be careful about the physical size of the scope. I want to use it on my AR15 and any other rifle down the line that I need to work up accurate handloads for. I was going to buy the Bushnell 3200 2-10 Compact, but like I said I got to thinking about Weaver. I 'll check out the...

Thanks! I went to the website you listed. I'm sure I can find some info there. I would still be interested in hearing about you new Weaver when you get it.

Hi- I'm wondering if the new offerings in Grand Slam & Classic Weaver scopes are worth buying? I want a 2-10 or 4-12 . I thought about a Bushnell 3200, but if they're good I'd buy a Weaver instead. Does Meade still own Weaver or is it ATK? Thanks for any advice......
