    Question for Near Alphamount users

    I recently bought an Alphamount after reading glowing reviews on this forum and elsewhere. Overall, it seems like a very stout and well-designed mount. A couple of things surprised me however. Right away, I could see that there was a lot of back and forth movement in the picatinny slot. I then...

    Spuhr mounts prone to cracking?

    I hope I'm not opening a can of worms, but I've noticed a couple of members reporting that their mounts cracked in exactly the same spot: along the relief cuts for the ring mounting screws. Example 1 Example 2 (post #15) Are those isolated incidents or is this a known issue with Spuhr? The...

    Rifle Scopes Is my Nightforce tube out of spec?

    I have a Nightforce SHV 5-20 (same 30 mm tube as the full size NXS). The scope body is a two-piece design: the objective bell/front tube screws into the turret housing/rear tube. The problem is that the front tube appears to be thicker than the rear tube. This can be confirmed by taking half of...

How's the recoil with the factory stock? I'd like to have a handy, compact rifle that I can also shoot at...

    Rifle Scopes Why aren't integral scope rails more popular?

    By "integral scope rail' I mean something like Zeiss ZM/VM: This mounting system is fairly popular in Europe (Swarovski, Zeiss, Leica and a few others make compatible scopes ) but it is pretty much unheard of in North America. I wonder why? In theory, it seems vastly superior to traditional...

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce scope - is this normal?

    Bought my first Nighforce, an SHV 5-20. Beautiful scope, but one thing bothers me a little. The finish on the threads in front of the lense looks a bit worn, even though the scope is brand new and came in a sealed box. I don't have much experience with Nightforce optics - is this something that...
