Vortex is the brand, Strikefire is the model. Vortex is a WI based company with a great reputation. I know on some of there optics they offer a 100% lifetime guarantee (i dont believe it applies to red dots).

Lens cloth or lens pen here depending on what is available. I have used the alcohol method too it works about the same as a lens wipe. You can get disposable Zeiss brand lens wipes at Walmart for about $4 for a 100. I always keep a few in my range bag as well as my hunting pack.

I am looking for 9mm brass in any quantity. I can meet in MPLS or STP this weekend otherwise you will have to mail the brass to me.

PM me what you have and a price.

Thanks.

Lead bullets is why we reload 45acp. Embrace the lead! I would call Hoffys and have them order some RedRiver cast bullets for you.

Sounds like you need/want a full custom gun. Paul Grundhauser is your local source for this type of work. Personally I wouldnt dump all of that money in to a Ruger, start from scratch and you will likely end up with a better finished product. Paul has custom 1911's starting at $2595 on his website a...

This is horrible advice. Get the right tool for the job if you choose to dismantle yourself (a bullet puller) available for less than $20 from anyone who sells reloading equipment.

Sounds like good parenting to me, keep it up.

I think tha'ts the Brady Groups point. They will take a small victory on any front and use it a springboard to take more of our rights away.

I currently have a 2009 bowtech captain with a case for $650 bucks. Packaged and everything. In my opinion thats a lot better of a deal :D Not just sayin that cuz I want to sell it either. $300 bucks is a lot of cheese to throw at that bow. Especially if ya really get the bug, cuz you will want to ...

Had a Glock 21 but it was too big. Got a glock 19 & 29 so I want to varying collection. Thinking sig p220 carry. Does smith have a all stainless 4" 1911? Nope all of S&W's 4" guns are scandium frames you can get the slide in blued or stainless. If you want an all steel 4" gun...

I just had Retread handle a couple thousand pieces of brass for me. They came back looking and measuring up good. I wont likely get around to loading any of them until after the 1st of the year. I will leave a review when I do. He was great to deal with. I dropped my brass off and had him ship it ba...

I would check out Summit Gun Broker he often has them.

I have an X5 as well, its a tack driver and I cant imagine it getting much better. With a Barsto barrel and Bruces work it should easily allow you to live up to your goals. If your interested in learning some mental management techniques check out Lanny Basham's "With winning in mind". I r...

Its been my experience to be charged per transaction and not necessarily per weapon. As stated above up to five serial #'s can fit on the form.

If you dont find the performance you are seeking with Wolf I would look at some BlackHills, they have a great reputation and there 68gr SMK load is a legendary performer.
