You should also look at the Meopta "Meostar R1 4-16x44 Stainless Zplex tactical turrets Riflescope" It has great glass and right now is and inexpensive item. If you go to www.eurooptic.com they have them for $550.00
I puchased one for my bolt gun. When I put it side by side with my US Optics scope it has glass that is every bit as good as the USO.

I am going to try and get this thread back on track.
What is Cerberus up to? I though maybe military stuff, but with Marlin in the picture that does not seem likely.
Remington to Acquire Marlin Firearms
Deal positions Marlin and its various brands for growth
December 26, 2007: 04:08 PM EST
MADISON, N.C., Dec. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Remington Arms Company, Inc. ("Remington" or "the Company") the only manufacturer of both firearms and ammunition for Hunting, Law Enforcement/Security, Government & Military applications in the United States, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Marlin Firearms Company, Inc. ("Marlin"). The transaction is expected to close by the end of January 2008.
Marlin, headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut, also owns Harrington and Richardson (H&R), New England Firearms (NEF) and LC Smith brands of rifles and shotguns.
Tommy Millner Remington's CEO, said, "I am pleased to announce that Marlin's well known brands with a long heritage of providing quality rifles and shotguns to hunters and shooters around the world will join the Remington family. The opportunity to combine two historic U.S. based companies with such storied and proud histories, is both challenging and exhilarating."
"We look forward to working with Bob Behn, a well respected member of our industry. He will remain as president of Marlin, charting a course of further growth and operational improvement," Mr. Millner continued.
Closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary conditions, including regulatory approvals. Credit Suisse acted as financial advisor to Remington with respect to this acquisition. Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC, a unit of Duff & Phelps Corporation , initiated the transaction, assisted in the negotiations and acted as exclusive financial advisor to Marlin.
Frank Kenna III, Marlin's Chairman, said, "Marlin has been a family run business since 1924 and through a number of important steps, we have grown it into the company it is today. We knew it was time to find the right partner for Marlin to ensure our brands maintain their leadership positions and move into the next century."
Mr. Kenna III continued, "We believe Remington's commitment to the industry, shooters and hunters alike, combined with their resources from a manufacturing and sales and marketing position, will reinforce the confidence, hard work and dedication that our employees and management have put into our brands."
Marlin manufactures a wide range of long guns, from the historic Model 39 and 336 rifles, which are the oldest shoulder arm designs in the world still being produced, to the XLR Series, which are the most accurate lever action rifles in the world. Its lever action 22 repeater, now the Model 39, became the favorite of many exhibition shooters, including the great Annie Oakley.
E. Scott Blackwell, Remington's President of Global Sales/Marketing and Product Development, said, "The history of our two companies in innovation and meeting the needs of hunters and shooters around the globe, combined with the opportunity to further develop the Remington, Marlin, H&R, NEF and LC Smith brands, is not only beneficial to the Company and our channel partners, but especially to our end customer. It is these customers and our employees that have contributed to the success and longevity of these brands."

I have a Gold and love it, but I would not recommend it, It's a balance thing. The recoil spring and the magazine spring have to be balanced just right to run 100%. Don't do like I did at the last major match and put a wolf +20 recoil spring it and expect it to run with out testing it. I would like a bennelli but.. I like to reload the "Cooley" way, roll the gun over in the week hand and load out of side saddles. I can put 60 rds in side saddles if I want
and a gas gun will still run. The Benelli will not run with a lot of "stuff" on it. Get a Winchester SX2. You can find 26" field guns really well priced, add a mag extension and your done.Scott

Well, word is that they want to get into military supply. But why buy DPMS if they already have Bushmaster? Unless they think they can get FN's M16 supply contract and they need both companies to do the production. Who knows?
They may not be a gun loving company. If they get the M16 contract you may see both DPMS and Bushmaster go away and become military only. When was the last time you saw a FN AR-15 for sale on a dealer shelf?

Sorry to hear that Craig.

I have a 32" Cynergy that is ported and when I shoot skeet it is a little slow on station 8, but great on station 4. I wish I had a 28" barrel model for skeet. The main game I like to shoot is sporting clays so the 32" barrels (with extended chokes so really 33") are great. If your main game it sporting clays get the longer barrels. I like the porting on the cynergy I can say that I have not ever shot an o/u that had less felt recoil than my 32" cynergy. It is soft and with the low profile of the receiver it recoils well. Some people HATE the look of the cynergy. I like it and I'm glad my gun doesn't look like everyone else's. But like it has been said before, the MOST IMPORTANT thing is gun fit. If the gun does not fit, every thing else is irrelevant.

There is a lot to making shot, more than just running melted lead through a shot maker. Go the shotgunworld.com forums and look in the reloading forum,it iscalled "Anyone make their own lead shot"
http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=15776
There is a 27 page subject on making shot. After I read it I decided that $40.00 a bag was not so bad. But Please let us know if you end up doing it and how it works out for you.

I think once you start shooting that 410 and busting clays with it you will think that you are a stud when it comes to shooting clays. Almost every time you want to go shooting you will want to shoot that little gun and feel like a stud again. So you should just buy the gun you really want, the Beretta, and have fun shooting it, because you will shoot it more than you think.
The 410 is WAY cheap to reload for, if you have a reloader you will end up shooting it more than you think. Believe me on this. I own a cheap 28ga and now I wish I would have gotten the Browning Cynergy I really wanted.

Over on Shotgunworld.com a guy came up with a 3/4 oz load for Win AA or Rem STS hulls using Promo powder and the Claybuster replacements for the WAA12L. Load them up with #9 shot and they smoke clays!! These are the loads I use for skeet, 5 stand and most sporting clay shots under 35 yds. I can not tell a difference in my scores between the 3/4 oz and the 1 1/8 oz loads. But there is a HUGE difference in the recoil and the enjoyment of shooting all day and not have that "hit in the head feeling" when your done. It also does wonders for the flinch factor.
BTW..These load do not work in most semi auto guns, I shoot them out of my Browning Cynergy. They are cheap to reload and fun to shoot. Right now that is my favorite load for flying birds.

I've been getting the magazine for about 10 years now and love them. I just look through the stack of mags and read the front cover to find something to make for dinner. But like Merlin I have now gone digital, with everything on line it's great. I also get the weekly newsletters email. Not everything is GREAT. They did a cooked pear desert with balsamic vinegar, black pepper and Gorgonzola cheese - not for me!! If I'm going to make desert it will include boatloads of cream, sugar, butter and chocolate... well at least 2 of those anyway.

I'm always surprised at how my pictures always look better small in the magazine than they do large on my computer. Makes no sense whatsoever, but it's always been true.
OT--- ON
Easy - Monitor is 72dpi no matter what. Offset printing is 150 line screen or about 300 dpi, at the minimum, Most offset shop have switched to direct to plate and are running 200 line sceen and more, with stocastic dots (it jumbles up the dots so they are not in staight lines and appers to add about 50 lines more of screen.)
OT---OFF

I use a Dillon 650 to load on. It is just the Dillon powder throw with the regular measure in it.
I loaded 500 last night and I like E3 even more now. When I was finished with 500 rds there was not any powder under the load plate. It look like that E3 does not "jump" out of the case even though it is has more space taken up by the powder and it is closer to the top of the case. As a matter of fact that 500 was the fastest I have ever loaded 500 rds. I could really move along and not have to woory about the little grains of N320 jumping out of the case when I was a little fast on the loader. The E3 stays in the case, so that speed up my loading.

You can go to David Tubbs web site and see that he load 1000 yard rifle rounds on a 550. These are rounds that he has won camp perry matches with.

Molys are what I did the development work with. I did not notice any more smoke than with my N320 loads. I will try to take some picts with both N320 and E3 when I am out shooting on a calm day.
Remember this powder was made to not smoke with the plastic wads and paper hulls of shotgun shells.
Scott
-
I have found from loading up some E3 that it likes to have the powder measure more full than more empty. It seams to throw a more consistant throw of powder.
Scott
-
OK Scott,
Now that Kurtz has given you the pat on the back, get to work and let us know how E3 will work for 9mm production loads. The first batch of data should include the 124 gr family of jacketed and black bullets.
Thanks, Craig
Alliant's Red Dot info is: Win WSP, 4.6gr, at 1,145. I don't know how fast you want to shoot them? But I would start at 4.1gr of E3 with a 124gr bullet.
I don't own a 9mm so someone else will have to do the work on that.

Thanks for posting that....great stuff! I can't imagine a powder being less temp sensitive than that, but I was wondering how often it gets to 94F in Utah!
During the summer, 94F in Utah is a real nice day. We expect 100-105 temps in August. That for SLC, In St George it is usually about 5deg less than what Las Vegas is. And then SNOW in the winter.

I am going to start a new thread about E3.
Here is some more data from today. I wanted to see how temperature sensitive E3 was.
If you want to see the previous data go here E3 vs N320
The first string is 9 rds, from a batch of 100, just shot at today’s temp of about 94 deg.
The second string is 15 rds that I loaded in a magazine and wrapped in a zip lock bag and buried in a bag of ice for 40 min while I drove to the range it was at least 32 deg when I unwrapped it and shot it over the crono.
String 3 is 12 rds that I loaded in a magazine and left on the dash while I set everything up, then I placed it on the radiator under the hood of my Excursion for about 15 min. It was hot enough that it was hard to hold on to, it must have been at least 120 deg.
They were all loaded with 3.9 gr of E3 in mixed brass with CCI sr primers and 185 grain Precision moly bullets.

After looking at the data E3 is as temperature insensitive as anyone could hope a powder to be.
Ave: 908, 909 and 910. That is almost like nothing. as far as temp is concerned.

Humidity is almost irrelevant. Temp and Barometric pressure are the two thing that determine how many atom/molecules that the bullet is impacting and slowing the bullet down. The elevation is only a reference on the barometric pressure or a way to guesstimate the barometric pressure and air density.

Thank you for the data and especially the photos, Scott - great topic, quality information.
Let us know if anyone shoots this at factory length - 1.125 to 1.135. Have you shot it with Federal primers? That will tell you a lot right there.
Is E3 a new name for Red Dot or is it a new formula of powder?
The pictures of the primers with the five different bullets are federal sr primers with 4.5gr of E3.
E3 is a totally new powder, it just happens to have the same burn speed as Red Dot.
There is a lot of data out there for Red Dot at factory lengths. Just figure about where you should be with red dot and lower that by about 10% and that would be a good starting point for E3. If you shoot N320 you could start with the same weight of E3 as you do with N320 and you will be close also. It will probably be a pushing the bullet a little faster than your N320 load so you will need to crono it and keep lowering the charge of E3 till you get the velocity where you want it.
Scott

Alliant claims E3 is the cleanest burning powder made in the world. I think it is clean. Go buy a pound and give it try. Then tell us what you think.
Scott
and a gas gun will still run. The Benelli will not run with a lot of "stuff" on it. Get a Winchester SX2. You can find 26" field guns really well priced, add a mag extension and your done.
Shells for trap, skeet and clays
in Clays
Posted
Eric, You what, most... well really all.. of the "holes" in the pattern of my shotgun shell is because the pattern needed to be 2 feet farther forward
I have been shooting skeet lately and reloading the Rem STS and Gun club hulls with 3/4 oz of 9 shot. They work just as well as the 1 1/8 oz shells, with a lot less recoil.
