    side wheel for discovery Hs4-16x44

    Hey Eric, got your email! NP at all, family first! Re-reading my post, it may have come off snarky, but that wasn’t the intent, and I wasn’t going to broadcast specifics about what was going on. Eric makes great products and I fully endorse him and his products, just to be clear!

    Tuxing Official Store - Very Disappointing Experience

    Alkin company is located in Clifton, NJ, USA. Google says that is 493 US miles to Aurora, ON, CA which is 793.407km. You will never rebuild an Alkin, you won’t have to drive to a dive shop, pay the dive shop, or worry about hydro test expiration. ask anyone who owns an Alkin what their...

    Tuxing Official Store - Very Disappointing Experience

    Ok, years ago I was looking to make the plunge and get a compressor. I looked at AoA, because at that time they had a selection of compressors in a not cheap, but not $3k expensive variety. I nearly bought the daystate, seemed like a great deal, until I did some research. To be fair, maybe...

    side wheel for discovery Hs4-16x44

    I was told that Eric was having family health issues. I stopped hearing from him some time ago. I was trying to get a wheel made for my Aztec, but after a short string of emails, I never heard from him again. YMMV, good luck!

    Tuxing Official Store - Very Disappointing Experience

    I can tell by the first and last section of your post you’ve never owned a $3-5k unit. Utter BS! Bauer, Coltri, Alkin aren’t going to fail anytime soon unless there is some sort of user error. If they did, their customer service and support is exceptional. Don't waste money on daystate or...

    The Elephant in the (Classified Ads) Room?

    I will speak from my knowledge of how Internet forums work effectively, yes. I don’t need to like you, I don’t need to agree/disagree. Moderation is the key to keeping a healthy forum, and discussing it openly is how you steer that moderation in the direction the majority wants. Just reading...

    The Elephant in the (Classified Ads) Room?

    It impacts the community. After the 5th repost with no changes, it’s just spam. Rules and moderation are put in place for a reason. To keep things not only on track, but tidy enough that cruising the new posts or the classifieds isn’t a chore of scrolling past the same add that’s been posted...

    Classifieds Section

    lol, anyone that thinks their “private” messages on a public, modded INTERNET web forum are some how private, well……..that’s interesting. This isn’t the mail, your privacy doesn’t matter here. What matters, the whole reason for moderation on Internet forums, is to keep things on topic, from...

    Discovery Optics NEW PRS Gen II Scope $400 Good/Bad Deal?

    I have one on one of my .25 Sumatra, and I absolutely love it. It is and older model, but FFP, and was a gamble when I bought it, but it paid off!

    What do you normally have your sights on?

    I find my sights work best on my gun. Too shaky to get a good view using them hand-held. Much harder to hit your target!
