The Bureau of Land Management is planning a truly boneheaded move, angering some conservationists over the affects to herd populations and migration routes. From Field & Stream.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently released a draft plan outlining potential solar energy development in the West. The proposal is an update of the BLM’s 2012 Western Solar Plan. It adds five new states—Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming—to a list of 11 western states already earmarked [read more]
I get ads all the time, most are worthy of ignoring. Some interest me, like this one. This particular model comes in the RMR footprint which is important to me.
I’ve heard that the green dot is easier on the eyes and easier to pick up.
For those of you who have actually used Veridian sights for pistols or shotguns, what are your opinions?
From my perspective, the new Bushnell scope fills a niche, i.e., a high power FFP scope with a large objective lens for taking in light, at a reasonable price. The Crimson Trace scope does not. Who needs a 1-10X28mm tactical scope for a price of $649?
I’m most interested in the German Precision Optics reflex pistol red dot sight. It’s targeted towards pistols, but would be good for tactical or turkey hunting shotguns as well in my view.
F&S says it has a battery life of 25,000 hours, while GPO says it has 40,000 hours. The price point is good at $379. It’s a good competitor to the Trijicon RMR.
But when they says new, they mean new. I haven’t found availability of this new optic anywhere.
One final question remains, and that is the footprint. According to GPO it has the Leupold DeltaPoint interface. This source says that Leupold DeltaPoint is compatible with the RMR footprint, while this site more assertively states that it has the RMR footprint.
If any knowledgeable reader has this optic or the Leupold DeltaPoint optic, and can confirm that it can be installed over the RMR footprint, that would be appreciated.
It’s Chinese. We all know that. It’s also less expensive than the Trijicon RMR.
If Trijicon wants to compete against a product just as good and less expensive, they’re going to have to do it by coming down on price. I hope someone who works for Trijicon is reading this.
It’s just that simple. Yea, you can make the claim that you don’t want to fund business in China. That’s all well and good. But every unnecessary penny you spend now will affect your future wealth or the wealth of your children’s children.
So Americans can get their righteous indignation on, but when it comes to spending wealth, the case becomes much more complex. God has expectations for what we do with our wealth. So go ahead and play that balancing act – you know that’s what’s going on. And I don’t mind pointing it out.
