I have this Minox with an angled eyepiece. Mine is very sharp, excellent picture quality, small and lightweight. The focus ring is a bit stiff, but the main complaint is the virtually non existent eye relief. Pretty much a no go with glasses. I wear glasses and I see only a small part of the...

For sale is a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 with BDC reticle. Scope is in excellent condition. There are very faint ring marks, mostly visible from the bottom of the scope. They are light enough that they are difficult to see in the photo below. Glass is clear, holds zero, turrets click nicely. I am...

Super Sniper

I just picked up a Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 and have been playing around with 120 grain Nosler BTs. They actually have a very good BC, at .417. I can get ~3020-3050 fps with 42.5 grains RL15, WLR primer, and a necked down Lake City surplus .308 case, bullet seated ~.02 off the lands (so quite a...
