ARs, ACRs, M14s and knives

New pics of the Norinco M14

I just picked up a couple of caps for my new Leupold VX-1.  Since I got the sunshade for it, the factory scope cover doesn't fit, and using the covers from the Bushnells seemed kind of hokey so I just grabbed a pair of Butler Creek ones:

One of these days, I'll have to get some better lighting on her for some proper photos.

New Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm for my M14....

I picked up a new Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm scope recently.  I know, it's an entry level Leupold, it's a lower model, it cost way less and has less magnification than the Bushnell I had on my M14, but I have other plans for the Bushnell and besides, it's a Leupold!

Anyway, I had a peak through the glass and even though it's less magnification, man there is a lot of light getting through there and image through the glass is bright and crisp.  I can't wait to try it out on the range.  I also can't wait to get the new toy I have planned for the Bushnell :)
