    Rifle Scopes [ignore]

    Re: Bullet Drop vs Come Up's Oooops! I see now that my original post said "dial 15 moa". No wonder everyone thinks I'm a dolt. That should have read 5moa at 300yds to compensate for 15moa of drop. Sorry.

    Rifle Scopes [ignore]

    Re: Bullet Drop vs Come Up's Ok, it was a dumb question. The answer is that the bullet is ALWAYS dropping and the trajectory does not affect that, except minutely as it changes the time aloft and therefore allowing other things such as spin drift more time to affect the flight. But...

    Rifle Scopes [ignore]

    Hopefully, this is not a totally dumb question that singles me out as the novice in the group... I have always thought of ballistics in terms of bullet drop. That is, if you zero at 100 yds and the table tells you inces of drop at 100 yd increments beyond that point. For example, my Federal...

    Rifle Scopes AR guys I need help with scope setup.

    Re: AR guys I need help with scope setup. Ok, I get it. IOR makes 30mm and 35mm rings. Their medium is 0.50" and high is 0.75". SWFA sells these on their website. I guess I could have just said that the first time...

    Rifle Scopes compact rifle scope for AR-15

    Re: compact rifle scope for AR-15 How about a used IOR 1.5-8x28 cqb 223 reticle with 1/4 moa knobs? It is a very nice AR scope. A little hard to find, but they do come up if you are patient. I just bought the old model IOR 2-12x32 for my AR-10. I can't wait to mount it.

    Rifle Scopes Help with choice of 1-4 optic for AR

    Re: Help with choice of 1-4 optic for AR I am curious why you think the ACOG is slow. Don't you have to change magnification on a 1-4x? I've never hunted, but I have done a bit of action shooting with iron sights. There, slow = bad cheek weld and fumbled reloads. That fact doesn't change...

    Rifle Scopes Choose a Scope

    Re: Choose a Scope I'm no precision expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I had a Bushnell 2.5-16x42 on LaRue LT-104 atop my AR-15. Very nice value for money. At around 12x I can see my heartbeat in the reticle and, after an hour of shooting, see the vapors coming off the end of...

    Rifle Scopes AR guys I need help with scope setup.

    Re: AR guys I need help with scope setup. By the way, I also use Vltor CAR stocks. They come with detachable battery compartments that act as a bit of a cheek riser. I had a PRS and sold it.

    Rifle Scopes AR guys I need help with scope setup.

    Re: AR guys I need help with scope setup. I am a little surprised at the low centerline you are suggesting. My understanding is 1.47" is the centerline on a mil-spec AR with iron sights. This, plus your stock determine cheek weld. Are you saying you don't like that? This is how all the...

    Rifle Scopes Help with choice of 1-4 optic for AR

    Re: Help with choice of 1-4 optic for AR The ACOG is awesome in any light. The dual lit reticle works in near darkness (fiber in daylight, tritium for low/no light). The eye relief is short, but not for an AR, and the eye box is very forgiving. You get a very big sight picture and it is...

    Rifle Scopes Help with choice of 1-4 optic for AR

    Re: Help with choice of 1-4 optic for AR I looked at 1-4's and went with the TA31 ACOG. Eye box is very forgiving, you can shoot eyes open, reticle is awesome, glass is awesome and it is very light and compact. Much easier I think for AR-15. I have the TA31RCO and love it. You might also...

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Scope Opinions [decided IOR!!!]

    Re: AR-10 Scope Opinions Please! I decided to go with IOR 2-12-32 (discontinued model, bought new-old stock). It is mil/moa and capped turrets, but I can work with that. The eye relief is a little short (especially next to NF), but it is better than my TA31, which I have used on the AR-10...

    Rifle Scopes USO - EREK or #3 M40???

    Re: USO - EREK or #3 M40??? If I had a proffessional app, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. I want "compact" and the best eye popping image I can get for 2k or less, and I want 8-10x mag for the range. I don't want regrets. I have about 25 firearms...most are collectible and...
