    Go To No Frills Scope Rings?

    Thanks, I've been out of the loop for awhile and this is interesting. I have a few vertical Warnes so I'll have to test rtz dialing more now. I take it that LaRue and ADM clamp a bit differently or do I need to rethink those now too? I just bought some horizontal Warne rings to try out.

    Go To No Frills Scope Rings?

    I've never had a problem setting them up but you are definitely correct about them being inferior when it comes to removing the scope.

    Go To No Frills Scope Rings?

    I'm a little late but I've been looking for another set of 30mm rings and came across these Warne 216M .65" clearance I like Warne - American made rings for a good price. Very good cs as well.

    What magnification range scope for .223 AR.........

    As much as I've converted to the lower mag camp for hunting or defensive situation shooting, I still appreciate the 5-20 SWFA on my 20" AR15. I like seeing my hits on paper at 200, I use the high end out to 700m occasionally, and I can always stop at 12-15 if I please. I never really need...

    Rifle Scopes 3-15 vs 3-12 vs 6-24

    This. Sako is probably thinking of the SS HD line. I have the ET6-24x50 and I still can't tell if the glass is any better on my SS5-20x50. The SS is better in a couple other ways (tougher, better turrets) but optically the Bushnell is very nice and probably has an edge on any nonHD SS scope...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell elite tactical 6-24 vs vortex viper 6-24 ffp

    So Vortex is much better than a Bushnell made in a similar if not exactly the same Japanese plant as the Sightron which you claim would in turn be better due to its origin? Anyway, I think my Bushnell 6-24x50 ET is very close, if not equal, to my SS5-20x50 as far as glass clarity/brightness.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 10x40 MIL/MIL feedback

    I shoot a 12" square and 2/3 IPSC and can see both plenty clearly with the 3200. I have fun with M193 or sometimes 855 so the ammo is more a hindrance than the glass and I still get plenty of hits. I decided to put my new SS in an ADM Recon so either the Warne or Burris was getting sold...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 10x40 MIL/MIL feedback

    I use one on a back-up AR and I haven't had any problems. Holds zero (was in PEPR, now in Warne QD rings). Repeatable with minor adjustments made to 400m+ and back (2-3 mil) and run all the way up and back as well to test. Glass quality is good but I haven't looked through it recently next to...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    I had mine on 1 or 2 at dusk since it starts to cause glare in the fov if any higher. Looking at something barely visible in low light is even more difficult when looking through a bright red reticle. I actually prefer the dim green of my Bushnell ET6245 in that light but it's not much of an...

    Rifle Scopes suggestions for a 22 lr scope upgrade

    Only reason I could see switching from low/mid grade scope to another (slightly more expensive) low/mid grade scope would be if you were using it for ranging practice for your FFP on a long range rifle. Others already suggested the Falcon Menace and BSA so I'll add the Primary Arms version (all...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! Will be nice to have in time for the weather to warm up. I really haven't had enough time to shoot over the last 6 months to make this wait painful for me. Every few weeks I'd remember it and check back, but they probably would have only...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3200 10X40 Mil/Mil on sale+rebate?.

    Re: Bushnell Elite 3200 10X40 Mil/Mil on sale+rebate?. Already got mine mounted on a back-up 20" Bushmaster AR in Warne qd rings. Haven't zeroed yet but I replaced the 3200 10x40 mil-moa and that performed well inside 500m so this should just be easier to adjust. Rebate sent in about 2...

    Rifle Scopes Whats a decent rimfire scope (cz 452 rifle)

    Re: Whats a decent rimfire scope (cz 452 rifle) I like the Burris FF2 4.5-14x42 on my CZ453. The Bushnell 3200 10x40 mil/mil from Midway is $199 and you can get a $75 rebate on the Elite line for the next month. It would make a good $125 practice scope if mil/mil is your centerfire set-up...

    Rifle Scopes Mount selection - add moa or not?

    Is there any reason NOT to get the LT158 (added 10moa) or ADM Recon (with 20moa) instead of the regular versions? I plan on using it with the SWFA 5-20x50 I ordered through the facecrack deal and shooting mid range with it on an AR15 with LT Stealth upper. I doubt I'll get over 800m and...
