Merryland you had to show “good cause” too.
Better you than me... I just can’t watch it. Too much sports overload.
Have they ever won anything? Or is it just a novelty?
Yes, I remember that.
I’ve got a question.Has anyone here used a Leatherwood scope?I’d like your opinion,I’m considering buying one.
No, I don’t think they’ve ever one anything. It’s just a big deal for them to make it to the 0lympics, I think.
I went to the gun show yesterday.
I’ve never seen so many AR’s in one place in all my life.
All the .22LR ammo was 3x to 4x the normal price.
Welcome!
Never heard of them. But I’m not very knowledgeable past a Leupold.
.22LR is still that expensive? WTF!
All ammo has caught up to normal prices by now I thought?
I’m not familiar with them, but this Hi-Lux TB-ML 3-9X40 unit got a very good review:
I posted this on another forum. I thought that someone here might get a kick out of it....
This morning I went to take a class to get my Texas CHL. I took my favorite gun. My gun that has NEVER had any malfunction of any kind. I am speaking of my Colt XSE. Since it has never had a malfunction of any kind, OF COURSE it would malfunction today. I was shooting a 3 shot sequence and the last round stove-piped. I have had this happen on other guns so I figure, no big deal, I’ll just clear it and lose that last shot, which would mean a 5 point deduction. Yeah right. The slide was completely locked up. I had to fight to get the magazine to come out, then began to feverishly try to rack the slide to clear out the misfed round. Meanwhile, the instructor is telling the group to load 4 more rounds and prepare to fire. If I can’t get the gun unjammed, I am going to fail the proficiency part of the course. As I am tugging as hard as I can on the slide, I realize that somehow the slide stop has come partway out. I shove it back in, and as quick as I can pop 2 rounds in the mag, slap it in and rack my slide. I was able to only get off 1 shot before the timer was up on that sequence. End result, I had to forfeit the original stove piped round, and 3 from that firing sequence. This cost me a total of 20 points. Fortunately, I only lost 3 other points and ended up with one of the better scores in the class. It did take me a few minutes to quit being so agitated about the slide stop. Its my fault, though. I cleaned it last night and probably didn’t quite have it pushed all the way in.
Here’s Optic Plant’s review of a slew of Leatherwoods:

I think Marine snipers used to use their scopes many many moons ago.
