    Mount vs Rings for AR10

    If the rifle fits you, you aren't too high. I personally haven't had an issue mounting a scope to a 308 ar with rings. IE, I haven't needed the cantilever to achieve the eye relief I needed. Ymmv. The advantage is you can buy a set of, say, seekins rings that will be 100% reliable for much less...

    Rifle Scopes Offset sights/optics, astigmatism, and other problems

    I have no idea actually. I can't recall ever looking closely at an illuminated triangle hah. 12.9 moa reticle sounds huge, but I know bigger objects tend to appear to distort less for me than small ones. Plus at the distances/speed I want this to perform at, I don't think reticle size is going...

    Rifle Scopes Offset sights/optics, astigmatism, and other problems

    Ah, I see what you mean. The only "superzoom" I knew of are camera lenses hah, so I was envisioning some sort of add-on ocular to a red dot or something. I also shoot both eyes open, magnified optic or not. For whatever reason, it actually got easier for me to do so after my concussions. I can...

    Rifle Scopes Offset sights/optics, astigmatism, and other problems

    Got any more info on this? Links? I am failing to get Google to turn up anything useful for me. After playing around with various 1x prisms, I think it's a little more brick like than I'd prefer on top of/next to a rifle scope. I am liking the idea of something like the Insite mrds.. Form...

    Armalite bolt compatibility question

    Your issue is a failure to eject, not feed related. What does the brass look like? Case rim deformed from the extractor at all? Start with the extractor. The corners on many of the 308 extractors I've seen are very sharp and may not be consistently letting go of the brass when the ejector would...

    Armalite bolt compatibility question

    Is it actually double feeding? As in, spent cartridge is extracted and ejected and two cartridges are stripped from the magazine? Or is the spent cartridge sitting in the receiver while the next round is being chambered? These are two distinctly different failure modes..

    The dilemma

    If you're driving an hour, an hour and a half isn't that much more, unless you're constantly pressed for time when you do shoot. I would get bored quickly at 100yd with basically any centerfire rifle. That has nothing to do with my skill or lack thereof and everything to do with my attention...

    Rifle Scopes Offset sights/optics, astigmatism, and other problems

    I have a dpms lr-308 with a fixed 10x scope that I would like to put some form of unmagnified offset sight or optic on. My initial inclination was to throw on a set of offset irons and call it a day. However, I had a few concussions last year and am still dealing with pretty severe symptoms from...
