Believe it! They can't get the dovetails for the rings/pic rails consistent either. Published as 3/8" or 11mm for a certain model, better measure first before ordering. Even one of the most popular accessory suppliers for CZ doesn't trust their own list. They do happily take returns though...

Bruce, Thanks for the clarification. Almost everyday I learn something new about the game! Also, as we spoke at the first 'Iorn Man' tournament, eye strain is an issue when the bright lights of Kettlefoot are stared at through a 6X scope for 7 consecutive cards! My right eyeball was burned out...

Good goal, my Leupold has 1/4 clicks. I can deal with it, but it's not optimal. Scott

No frey, not really that desirable. I just looked up the FX3's specs on Leuplod's website, and they are not good with consideration of the current conversation here. Parallax is set at 150yds and not adjustable. Those posting here in the states shoot competition at 50yds and 50 meters. Weight is...

Tony, Absolutely agree. I don't care what target you shoot, adjustable parallax is not just a 'want' on a target scope, but a necessity. Scott

If at the time, someone actually made a fixed power scope in the proper X power with the features for Sporter use, I would agree. As far as I know though, those scopes were discontinued quite sometime ago, even before the excellent variables that 'fit the bill' so to speak were discontinued. In...

Pedro, I answered this same question on RA, but since some here do not participate over on RA, I will repeat here. As mentioned by Tony, weight at 590g, is a bit 'fat' for IR Sporters here in the states. My current scope (now discontinued) is a Leupold VX3i 6.5-20 X 40 EFR Target. It weighs...

Refreshing thread! This is a cool thread, thank you Gene for starting it. I consider Gene a good friend of mine and shoot with him a lot during our outdoor season. I have also feared loosing him on the firing line because of his eye issues, which I have been familiar with before his posting...

Haven't been here for a few days, and here is something I not only find interesting, but something I am interested in! In my limited experience, you can build a 10.5 rifle quite easily if you have that goal in mind from the start with current parts and pieces. I only have two 10.5 rifles at this...

The Weaver, according to an old ad from Optics Planet, comes in at 17oz. EARLM, don't know how close you are on weight, but if you want a variable, March 10-60 X 52's sit on both of my 10.5lb rifles and make weight. Model D60V52LM on my last one MFG listed weight is 25.04oz. 2-1/2oz less than...

Well, not to throw fuel on the fire and I don't know how Joe would do with a J.C. Higgins, but.......Joe has been messing around with a Suhl recently. He 'DIY' modified the factory stock and I personally don't know what, or by who, other mods are. I do know he finished second in the ARA Kansas...

I really don't think the IR275 was a failure because of how it's scored, it was what it was. A money match held at the end of the practice day (a weekday) as a support match to the sanctioned matches that followed. I don't recall how many we had for the BR-50 money match in March, but the...

Hopefully we will see it at the ARA Indoor Nationals. Almost a month for shaking it out should tell something. Scott

I am sorry to share this, but Steve Perkins (Az_Speed) passed away Friday morning. I shot several times with Steve in Arizona and he was a wonderful and gracious competitor. He was very involved in the game and ran the ARA matches at the Ben Avery range just north of Phoenix. He will truly be...

Totally agree with the above post. Scott

Chief City Shooters (Pontiac, IL) will host the Illinois State and North Central Regionals 3-gun tournaments on August 28th and 29th. Yards will be shot on Saturday the 28th followed by Meters on Sunday the 29th. Air conditioned clubhouse with running water restroom, and a beautiful, shaded area...

Totally agree with the above. Anyone wanting an IR 3-gun match within driving distance, please come join us! Air conditioned clubhouse, running water restroom, beautiful mature shade trees right in back of the line. Experienced and friendly match director. Tony Harper has shot this club in the...

Ah, different thread, same crying......"make the shoot just so I can shoot the rifle I want". rsmithsr.....are you an only child? If not, you sure act like one! Scott edit: Steve, the range and sanctioning body you have chosen is just fine. I'll see you in October for the State Match.

Plus one on the Stiller (Holeshot) rod. Scott
