I agree. I'm glad I went the hot salt blued finish instead of the stainless version.That Garrison is plain sexy….
Taylor's & Co. 10 mm 1911 came in a nice little case with two mags
Sure have been lots of good looking 1911’s coming thru here as of late.
Makes me want another one.

I really like the older styling cues (vertical serrations, flat mainspring).That Garrison is plain sexy….
My son and I picked up a used Marlin 60 with a scope. Also snagged a couple of boxes of 7.62X39 and a box of 7.62X54R.
Picked up a few magazines on Black Friday for the M17
Very nice. I like to have at least 5 mags per pistol and 8 mags per rifle. At least anyway.
Illuminated? That's about what I'm looking to top off my Ruger American Grendel. How much does it weigh? I'm seriously considering saving up my pennies for thermal also. Haven't decided yet. Good looking scope though. I like that magnification for Grendel.
Any pics?
Arisaka Defense 18650 Malkoff Devices head with their wonderful scout mount.
Yes, illuminated. 31.2 oz.
Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen 2 Rifle Scope 5-25x 50mm EBR-2D MOA
The Vortex Viper PST Gen II hands an unfair advantage to shooters who seek to keep the upper hand in every situation from close quarters to long-range...

You have good taste in kit.
Arisaka makes quality stuff. I have an offset red dot mount for a LWRC and a 45 degree scout mount for a small Tac-lite on a LE6920. They both are top grade mounts.

31.2…. *cough*.
@OkieStubble Yeah, it's a big scope. 16 in. long. The turrets are pretty robust, adding to the weight for sure. The 3-15x version is about 2 in. shorter but only 3 oz. lighter. I think it would be challenging to find a lighter scope with the feature set that these have. You would have to go with a "hunter" style with low profile turrets to shave significant weight, I would think. But then you would probably be saddled with a less useful reticle perhaps?
Agreed. That’s one of the reasons I wanted a lighter, smaller bolt when choosing 6.5 Grendel instead of the AR.
You definitely don’t want to be under glassed. I like the idea of 25 magnification and the 50mm objective. I want great field of view with my Grendel.
I like my AR’s to be light, but I’m getting tired of a 24mm objective in a 30mm tube.
I had a friend looking to unload some extra shooting gear cluttering up his basement. Today, I went with cash in hand. I ended up with a new Redfield spotting scope, Harris bipod, and about half a gallon of loose .22 ammo....For free.
Now that’s a score.
I bought two new turret heads for my Redding T-7 press. I built the stand pictured above to hold them when not in use. Redding sells an (over-priced) turret stand that allows you to stack three turrets, but that would not fit under my shelving, and I would think it a PIA to access the bottom turret so stored. The dies pictured above are not adjusted yet, just partially screwed in. The right turret has my dies for 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor, the left has .223 and .300 BO dies installed. The remaining turret on my press has two sets of .308 dies, one set are small base dies for semi-auto use, the other standard dies for bolt action use. May be over-kill, but over-kill seldom fails!
