Took the Kel Tec KSG out today. That thing is fun as hell to shoot. Birdshot had very little recoil while buckshot and slugs kicked like a mule. I'm going to have to find some low recoil buckshot and a recoil pad before my wife will shoot it.

Can you guys tell me anything about Hammers scopes?
Got a guy on a buy, sell, trade web page looking to sell his 6-24X50 with side focus adjust and in scope level bubble. Looked up the reviews on it and they're a bit mixed, many seem to love it but others had issues with theirs, though the manufacturer did make it right by replacing/refunding purchase price.

I have never even heard of them, but after a quick internet search they just scream "BSA" and "Tasco" to me.


I am somewhat of a scope whore. What is your price limit and what are you looking for?

Wasn't really "looking" just keeping my eye open for something better for my .30-06 than the Tasco that's on it and didn't want to let a deal go by without checking into it.
Not sure how interested I am after my own search. Reviews are mixed, some seem to really like it but there are a few that had problems. The guy wants $100 and I found them brand new for $170-220, so not a bad deal but not a great one either.

One of my favorite scopes was made by Tasco back in the day. (SWFA SS).

Anyway, if the glass looks decent it might be worth it. I wouldn't expect much out of the illumination, though.

Yea, I've found that to mostly be a novelty.

It's even disappointing on my SWFA 5-20HD.

Whenever I come into this thread, I find myself just staring at the gif in the OP. I could literally spend thousands of dollars just by staring at that thing.

I finally grew the balls to camo one of my AR's for prairie:

Next time I am going to add a little more green since we actually got rain this year.

The pics are light in color, but the rifle is darker in real light.


I still need to add just a hair more dark to it.

MORE GREEN.

Rifle looks great. Sigh, better pics tomorrow. :(

Who is buying more ammo and guns now? Looks like crazyland again at local dealers.

No worries.


All of the internet stores are fully stocked. When everyone went insane after Newtown stuff sold out within about 1 hour.

Finished product.

Nice job, dude.

I don't think I could ever bring myself to paint one of my rifles. I'd be too afraid of screwing it up.
