Scoping a Battle Rifle (308)

My google failure may be illsutrated by this thread . . . .

I have a DSMS AP4 308. It has worn a Leupold HUNTING scope for a while.

The Scope has been placed on a HUNTING rifle.

Looking for a proper scope set up for a General Purpose "Battle Rifle."

My thoughts go toward ACOGS as this 308 easily makes hits at 300 yards (16 inch barrell).

I am looking at the TA11j-308 (3.5 fixed power w/ tritium reticle) (this one has the range markings for 14-20 inch barrelled 308s).

Eye relief is good good for shooting up close (but not door kickin' SWAT raids close).

Any thoughts? Have looked at nightforce 2.5-10s, but not "thinking" about "designated marksman" optics.

BTW-Usage is some hunting, plinking, and Carbine Classes. Reagan was president when I was young enough for all the fun stuff.

Optics ZCO 527 MPCT1 FDE Spuhr QDP-6002

I have a very slightly used ZCO 527 MPCT 1 FDE with Spuhr QDP-6002 mount. The scope was used on my desert tech for less than 50 rounds, probably less than 30. I cannot find a single place the scope is blemished, also comes with Aadland caps. Scope is pristine! I’ll sell the scope for 3200 and if you want the mount too I’ll add it for 300 more so 3500 shipped. If you are interested in the mount it’s 350 shipped by itself.

Rifle Scopes Loctite or no loctite on scope ring screws

Hi all,

I am mounting a Premier Reptiles 5-25x56mm Tactical scope on a DTA SRS A1 rifle. I have a 34mm DTA single piece mount. I have read opinions both ways on the subject of Blue Loctite and I am still wondering if I need to use it if I torque the 6 screws on each of the two scope rings to 20-25 in/lbs. What is your advice?

3-in-1 Case Trimmer Options

Hey all, trying to collect info on the various options for a one-step trim/chamfer/deburr step, with a very strong preference for something that indexes on the case rather than a stop-collar like on Forster, LE Wilson, etc. Below are the ones I'm aware of, are there any I'm missing that'll do it all in one operation?

Case-Indexing:
- Henderson
- Giraud Tri-Way
- Trim-It II

Collar-Indexing:
- Forster
- RCBS
- LE Wilson (I think)

Thanks for any help the Hide can provide.

Optics Nightforce 7-35 ATACR Tremor 3

For sale *or trade*.

Been running it for the last 4-6 months and it’s been fantastic, however I want to try something different. The only cosmetic flaw with the optic is a light ding around the ocular lens, only visible without the scope caps, or when the scope caps are off and you’re at 35x magnification. Apart from that she is in beautiful condition. Comes with box.

•For sale price: $2,950 shipped

•Or, trade a Schmidt & Bender 5-25 pmii (maybe 6-36), and it must have the gr2id reticle. We can work out the values through pm’s.
