My previous post was about THOROUGHBRED PRECISION odf AZ. Sorry: I recently won a Certificate toward the construction of an open gun from Thoroughbred Precision of AZ. Since I'm as yet un-familar with their products and reputation, any experiance you share would be helpful. So far they have been very prompt and buisinesslike in their comunications. (How good are their guns and what do they sell for?) Thanks, Dan

I have an Omni Sight, which was a red dot and is now a no dot.... Is Omni Sight still in business and are they in Carson City. Directory assistance was a zero. Thanks!

Friday Afetrnoon.... My stuff was waiting on the doorstep. It's beutifull!!!! I can honestly say I'd reccommend the QUALITY of the stuff from IHL. (waiting 16 months is still not right, but they did come through with the goods.) Now I've got something nice to wear when the wife makes me dress up......

Surprise, Surprise, surprise..... Came home today to find a phone message from "Ian" of International Handgun Leather. Seems like the complaint I filed with the AZ Better Business Bureau had more effect than the nasty letters and pleading. He says my holster belt combo will ship Thursday by Fed-X overnight, and he’s really really sorry. (Also says he has called the BBB to tell them my complaint has been resolved). I’ll let you know Friday how it looks.

Another totally satisfied customer. I talked with John at several matches (good sponsors also) and went with18", BC comp, low mass..... It is a dream. And they don't even tell ytou about the goodies that come with it! 1st class folks!

What will be real interesting is as of Jan 1st they are saying don't lock your bags so they can hand check for explosives. Post 9/11 I had a screener at the gate ask if my (carry on) range bag was in fact a range bag. They asked to swab it specifically to see what reaction they'd get to powder residue etc. They had been told that smokeless powder residue wouldn't trigger the spectrometer. They swabbed it all over and came up empty. Coming home from SSM3Gun last year I had the Alaska desk ask how many guns were in my hard case, They claimed I was allowed 3 pistols, or two rifles or two shotguns..... Turns out its in their contract of carraige, along with a bunch of other bullsxxt rules.... like how many clubs and balls and tees can be in a golf bag before they charge extra. I fired of a polite letter pointing out how stupid their policy is, and they actually claimed that they were going to revise it. Net result, if they ask how many guns are in the bag just say two.

Gee Scott, if only you knew someone who worked at Leupold.......

I'd like to add a light to my AR15. I've seen one at a match that mounted off the handguard and had a rotating momentary switch on the back. Is that the Streamlight M5? Who makes the Mount/ And has anyone tried it yet? (like I can really see after the first muzzle flash anyway)

Looks like this is the place for general complaining..... At the 2001 Steel Challenge I received a certificate from International Handgun Leather (Phoenix) for a "Sharksin belt, holster, and magpouch combo" valued at $543.00. I now know why everyone says take something that you can pick up there..... I started with the "thank You" letter and order form, followed by the what's up letter, the where's my prize letter and a personal visit while at the Dillon Match. The owner (who's name I've forgotten) claimed that he was behind and my Prize was the next one out the door. After 15 months I've given up hope of collecting, but would personally suggest not doing buisness with them.

Kurt, No we didn't take it apart yet. Actually I'll sell it.... (It does appear to have a small hair on an inside lens?) Dan. If the Mesa match is the Superstion Mountain yes I'll be there. Dan

I am shooting a CQ/T. 1-3 power and Circle-dot both work great. Illuminated reticle not needed unless shooting at night (yes I shot this years WC3gun team night shoot.... my team won). I love it, but then I also work for Leupold....
