    New Burris XTR3i/Pro vs Leupold Mk5

    Also have the XTR3i 3-18 and don't think you can go wrong with it! Punches way above it's price class IMO.

    is there such a thing as a FFP LVPO where the turrets dial like a PRS scope?

    None taken! I guess I got lucky since mine are quite usable for what they are. Since the OP listed the SE as currently owing, I was just trying to keep the price in the lower range. Appreciate your comments!

    Does not meet your description but the original Gen 1 Vortex 1-4x24 SFP actually works well for me when I rather dial. Check out EuroOptics they still have them in stock new in the box for under $300. A little low on power but good to 500yds with a bit of effort...

    MR/T

    Mine uses the 1/3N. Same as the Aimpoint M2, M3. Later models may have changed to CR2032.

    Night Vision Full power lasers

    Thanks! I did something similar first time I removed it. Port stayed put but made me pretty nervous. Appreciate your input.

    Curious, what is your method of removal. Mine is really tight so I leave it attached!

    Vortex Low Pro Bubble Level

    Scalarworks Leap good for a bolt gun?

    I don't have one yet but it sounds like a solution for tightening the knob.

    What do you prefer for mounting muzzle devices? Rocksett, Loctite, ?

    Probably should have gone with my gut rather than follow the instructions! Oh well, don't need to remove right now anyway!

    I too have stopped using a thread locker. The rifles recently set up for suppressors are not high volume of fire but they do heat up. Torqued at 21 ft. lbs. with clean threads and they have not come loose. On those that see FA, I use RockSett but I might reconsider those too after a little...

    AR-15 guys, please help

    Regarding your handloads.... if not full length resized, they will get stuck in the chamber as described. You are on the right track trying factory ammo. If that does not work start troubleshooting the rest of the carbine as mentioned. I don't recommend lubing the inside of a mag. Lube on a...
