    Best Shooting Glasses?

    Who makes the most impact-resistant shooting glasses?

    I have always used the same safety glasses that I get free at work, but there must be something better. I would like something with a little extra coverage and the strongest possible lenses.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The Wiley-X series is as good as anything you will find for practical purposes.

    The old yellow Bausch & Lomb were the best ever made in my opinion.

    If you don't believe me, find a pair and just leave them on your dash for 5 minutes unattended.

    I had some glasses from Alpina . They alos make sportglasses for skiing and so on. They tested this glasses by shooting with .22 LR on it and it stopped the bullet. Good but not the cheapest.

    Good for him. Tell him to keep his head down and his powder dry. Gotta make you proud of him.
