To state the obvious, this tool does just what it says. I always seem to wrestle getting the reticles straight when I mount a scope. Doesn’t matter if it’s a handgun scope or a rifle scope. It always seems there’s much fuss and muss over a “tweak” this way, then another back the other way. Lots of handing back and forth saying, “Here, how’s that look to you?” There are some pretty fancy scope leveling tools out there, and plenty of “Here, try it my way” tricks, but this one takes the cake. It works, it’s simple and costs about $120.00. Share the cost with a couple of friends and suddenly it’s pocket change.

Think of this as a kit, with everything included. The operation goes like this: You unfold the legs, level the Scope Setter (using the included little level and adjustable feet), attach your scope to the rail on the tool (you’ve pre-assembled the scope and rings but left the rings finger tight). Then you level the scope (just put the little level on top of the top cap). Ta-Daaa’…the scope is leveled to the rail. Now take it off the Scope Setter’s rail and put it on the gun’s rail. Takes about as long to read this as it does to do it.

You can also use this set up to adjust and calibrate those clamp on scope levels you see the fancy target guys using. The Scope Setter is designed and made in the USA by a family owned business specializing in high end machining, fabrication, prototyping, etc. They really know their way around precision tools, plus they’re darn nice people. I promise if you get one of these you’ll have one of those “Why did I wait so long?” moments. I sure did. Let ‘em know you read about it in Handgunner, too!

Truglo has a new series of red dot optics designed for close quarter, fast sight acquisition scenarios. Two optics are offered: IGNITE 30 mm and IGNITE Mini. Each model is powered by one AAA battery (runtime depends on battery type, temperature, and brightness setting), has a 2-MOA dot, and is adjustable for windage and elevation (the adjustments are lockable). The optics have 10 push button controlled brightness settings and a four hour idle auto off. The unit remembers the last brightness settings when powered on. These optics are nitrogen filled, fog proof, water resistant, and shock proof (rated up to 7.62 NATO).

I’ve been using the IGNITE Mini (TG8322BN), and it features a 22mm objective lens, has unlimited eye relief, and comes with a “high” Picatinny/Weaver rail mount preinstalled. A low mount is included and swaps easily with the high mount if the shooter wants a lower mount. The high mount provides a lower third co-witness with AR-15 backup iron sights. The optic mounting system is compatible with T1/H1 mounts and adapters, so the optic can be used on shotguns, railed handguns, and “scout” configuration rifles.

The IGNITE Mini is CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminum, making it a compact, versatile, and rugged optic. It’s covered by TRUGLO’S TRU-CARE limited lifetime warranty. MSRP: $179 truglo.com

All of my straight walled sixgun cartridges are sized with carbide sizing dies. Those that are not are first sprayed with Hornady One Shot Case Lube. This lube is wax based so there’s no problem contaminating primers. I’ve also found it to be helpful for sizing straight walled cartridges before sizing with carbide sizing dies. By spraying these cartridges first it’s much easier to size the cases even though it’s not necessary. Actually, I find it very necessary now as I don’t have the strength I once had in my hands.
