That handle is just for getting a fast focus. I use it for squirrels
in the backyard. (Where I already know the ranges).

I have the OEM wheel on my other Leapers scope. I installed
a wedge of plastic on it, so I could tape on the ranges.

I could install a ranging wedge on the handle too,…Read more

Damn nice!

Yeah, it so happens that those knobs were 30mm and I had some low 30mm
rings that I wasn’t using.

I was thinking that someone could turn a sidewheel on a lathe,
and leave a 30mm OD post on one side that would plug into the ring.
A kinda interface between the knob and…Read more

High, medium, low ?

I got a 410 coming and I ‘m ordering a scope and I’m not sure what height of mounts work best.

I have the high Leapers mounts on my S400erb. They work fine.

If you get a Leapers 30mm scope, be sure to buy 30mm rings/mounts..
(Some guys order 1″ mounts) 🙁

My next one is going to be a longer .22 barrel. One of these days,
I’m going to set up my SS for night time varmint control.

Just the tool for cleaning out the wood chucks.

But don’t try doing that in Aluminum..
I did most of the work on my DIY-FT stock for the S400, but my mill is too small to handle a cutter that big..

I had to take it to a buddy that had a full-sized mill. Took him a few minutes.

If I decide to make another one for the B50, I plan to do it the…Read more

Just adding a digi-caliper to the ‘Y’ on my mill-drill would be a real job to get working right.

Take my advice and make a bunch of chips before you start adding all those extras. (and double the cost of the mill)..

My dream project is to put some displays on my lathe. Like…Read more

(and lathe).
It took all day to clean up. Mostly, I used old news paper to wipe off
the thick stuff and then used cleaner and paper towels on the rest.

I’ve never seen one of those close up, you will have to invite me
over this summer and show me your setup..

When I got my stuff from those truck guys, (4×6 saw, sander & lathe)
some of the packaging looked beat, but the hardware didn’t even have
any chipped paint. I was lucky..

Post some pics of your new rig..

able to take my Spyderco Standard on board in my pocket.
Never had a problem with any airline.

But now, they found a place where idiots can work (the TSA)
so the rest of us have to suffer.

For sure, I would vote for the man who said he was going to fire the TSA..
