    Massive Scam?

    Unfortunately, some people simply lack the ability to sense that they are being duped. For example, I have a friend with cancer and has had several strokes who was told by several highly competent friends that he was being scammed when he got a warning message about his bank account being frozen...

    Massive Scam?

    I just saw another ad for Vortex having a huge sale-all scopes with 80% mark downs. I didn't click on it, I reported it as false advertising-but I don't think that will put a dent in their nefarious activities.

    Massive Scam?

    One more instance of "you get what you pay for," being a truism. I have yet to meet a person into guns that isn't equally into knives. I too have a collection of MCUSTA's, Bench Made, GSakai, Enzo, etc knives. I also have about eleventeen knife sharpening doodads that are great paper weights.

    Massive Scam?

    Being the pattern seeking human that I instinctually am, my b*llsh*t detector went off as soon as I saw that every single scope on the linked page was 79% off. Leupold controls the price a legal dealer can sell a new scope of theirs, and I have never seen legitimate Leupold dealers have 79%...

    Good on you! But if it was not delivered, how can you claim it to be counterfeit?

    Massive Scam?

    When it seems to be a Leupold ad, it's not random. And I think by random, you are mistaken, they are not random at all, the algorithm deliberately sends them my way...totally the opposite of random.

    "Gun cracked all three times"...I don't know what that means.

    Massive Scam?

    I just got an ad on Facebook for a giant closeout sale at Leupold. When I clicked on the link it, it took me to what seems like Leupold's home site, but everything is being sold at 79% off. That is just too good to be true. I wonder how many poor sods are falling for this? I saw something...

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    It will cost a little more than a tank of gas. Need cheap, but still a better deal than eggs!

    Reticle $

    It seems illuminated reticles are all the rage nowadays. I suspect a lot of manufacturers are putting a lot of advertising $ into making the the illuminated reticles a major selling point on their scopes. For example, in looking at the choices for reticles with the Titan line of Element scopes...

    Turns out it did bulge the sleeve, I have to replace it.

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    I thought that the slug had been shot, but at very low power. It was stuck at the end of the barrel. So, no anti double feed mechanism would have helped the situation.

    I’m not sure I understand your response.

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    In 25 years of airgunning I have never accidentally double loaded my chamber...until today. I was zeroing with 37gr Wildman slugs in my new FX King, my main pressure was higher than my regulator(125bar), so I thought I would be good to get a zero, then fill the tank and commence to sniping...
