NEW from Sightron comes their first 40mm main tube optic!
While 34mm and 35mm have become standards in the industry, rarely is a 40mm tube seen. The SVIII from Sightron comes with ED glass, their ExacTrack W&E System, multi-coated lens, and a ton more features.
It’s a 5X40 with a 40mm tube. It will sell for $2900.
Maybe I’m underestimating your prowess as a hunter, but it seems to me the only people who can use a scope like that are professional snipers.
How about this idea instead. Build robust and durable scopes with a large tube for good light and clear glass for a reasonable price? Comparatively few people live in an area where they will need 40X magnification. Except for maybe .50BMG, what cartridge would be effective on game at a distance where you need 40X magnification?
BLUF. Your form has 88 days before it turns sour and gets automatically rejected. In other words, it times out. The ATF can’t complete approvals at their normal pace in < 88 days, much less with millions of gun owners submitting forms for SBRs. When your forms time out, it creates enforcement action for the ATF since you now have an unapproved SBR, for which you have sent your name, pictures, address, SS # and virtually every other piece of identifying information. Read that again. ENFORCEMENT ACTION.
This is a nice looking handgun, with an optics ready slide, a rail and a frame mounted safety. They were responsive to customer demands. This is also made in America for around $1200.
From a friend, these words, pages 22-23 on the ATF website.
“Because these types of firearms were never designed to be fired from one hand, this rule, as described in the NPRM, does not apply to firearms commonly referred to as pistol grip shotguns.29 86 FR at 30828–29. The 2014 classification described above and any classification that provides that a pistol grip shotgun is not an NFA firearm is no longer valid or authoritative as of [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], and the firearm should be resubmitted to FATD for evaluation.”
Do you own a Benelli M4 for home defense? If so, you may be rolled into the ATF clown show they’ve created for themselves and you with their awful pistol brace release.
Or based on the caveats, they may be referring to bullpup shotguns, or AOW. Who knows at this point?
As I’ve said before and will continue to say, “You’re never in more danger than when the police are around.” And by the way, if you love someone, don’t ever send the police to their home to conduct a “wellness check.” If they were well before the police arrive, they won’t be afterwards.
Travis Haley and Chris Costa go over height over bore very well in Art of the Tactical Carbine, but if you’ve never thought much about this or seen the series, this is a good explanation of what you should think about in CQB concerning the axis of the bore versus the axis of the optic.
BALTIMORE (WBFF) — With public safety a top priority for Maryland lawmakers, the first bill filed in the 2023 session would severely limit where people with conceal carry permits could bring their firearms.
“If people don’t feel safe nothing else matters,” said Maryland Senate President, Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City).
Senate Bill One, also know as the Gun Saftey Act, was introduced by Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher (D-Montgomery). Waldstreicher says the bill is meant to fire back at the Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In which, the Supreme Court found New York’s gun law requiring concealed carry applicants give a reason for carrying unconstitutional. The decision meant Maryland’s “good and substantial reason” requirement fell too.
“Bruen said anyone can take any weapon anywhere at any time. I think that’s dangerous and Maryland needs to respond,” said Waldstreicher.
With more Marylanders being granted conceal carry permits, the Gun Safety Act would ban them from taking firearms within 100 feet of any public place. However, “public place” is a broad term in the legislation. In addition to restricting guns inside hospitals, churches, and government buildings — any retail establishments, restaurants, hotels, and movie theatres are also listed.
“Outside of the home what would be a space that someone could legally carry a gun?” questioned a FOX45 reporter.
“So, the bill does not define where you can, it simply says and clarifies where you cannot,” said Waldstreicher.
At least he admits that his intention is to defy the Supreme Court. It’ll pass. Now what will the SCOTUS do about it?
