    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I just received my 6-36 PM II with the P5FL. I had the P4FL on my 5-25 for the last 10 years and aways loved it. I feel the same about the P5FL. BTW, this scope has something that I have never seen on anything else. The Illumination is day light visible.

    Do All Hunting Round Decision? Rifle Build help

    I've hunted 5 times in Africa plus Canada, Alaska and Mexico. Almost everything was cleanly taken with a 308 using a 150gr Barnes Triple Shock. For dangerous game a 375 with 300gr Barnes was used. Get close (within 200 yds), get steady, and put the bullet in the high heart, low lung area. The...

    Rifle Scopes Is S&B really outdated trash?!?!

    I have used just about every high end scope at one time or the other. My two favorites currently are the S&B 5-25 and the Nightforce I have owned just about every high end scope at one time or the other. Currently I am using the two I like the best, the S&B 5-25 and the Nightforce Atacr 7-35...

    Reticle Cant

    The scope reticle is level with gravity, not necessarily with the ground you are shooting on. If your range is slightly sloped if may appear that your reticle is not level in spite of the fact that it is.

    What direction to point wind meter

    Can you avoid the 1/2, 1/4, etc wind strength calculations by just pointing the wind meter directly toward the target and using that figure as your wind speed?

    Why dose everybody hate me?

    When I look at the M-14 I see a lengthy development by the Army Ordnance Dept that resulted in essentially an M-1 with a 20 round magazine. They completely missed the assault rifle concept that the Germans had pioneered as early as 1942. Furthermore the full auto feature was a fiasco which...

    JP Enterprises Silent Captured Springs?

    I have used one for years with no problems whatsoever. I got it because I hated the "sprong" sound of the standard spring.

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25 PMII Still a Good Choice?

    I have had mine for over 10 years and love it. To me the best features of the S&B are (1) robustness, (2) quality of glass, and (3) the Pf fine reticle. I think to some extent scopes, like rifles and cars, are personal. But, I don't see how you could be disappointed if you got one.

    Where are the factory 224 Valkyrie bolt action rifles?

    I recently acquired a Masterpiece Arms BA in 224 Valkyrie. It is extremely accurate and I love the MPA stock. The only weakness is the magazines. MPA has to rework a 10 rd 223 Rem mag made by another company. I purchased three but only two mags work and they cost over $50 each. The barrel has...

    Larue .224 Valkyrie

    I had the recent opportunity to shoot the 224 Valkyrie at JP Rifles Blue Steel Ranch. Ballistics using the 90gr SMK seemed similar to my 6.5 CM but with much less recoil. Targets out to 1,000 yards were successfully engaged and bullet splashes at that distance could be observed. I was extremely...
