    Rifle Scopes 1 scope b/w 2 rifles: 2.5-10 or 4-16?

    I had the same CONOP for my gas 223 and a bolt 308. I went with a Viper PST 4-16x50 and a QD American Defense RECON mount. This is plenty of magnification for my shooting out to 400 yards. When switching between the two rifles, the QD mount resettles back (close) to zero after a few rounds. The...

    First Rifle

    Greg: Good to hear that someone else address the height issue with a new stock. I went down that path as well. However, instead of a McMillan, I went with an AICS 1.5 for savage (the Aston Martin of replacement stocks I suppose.) The comb and LOP adjustments are nice, but what sold me was the...

    Savage .308 5R 20 FCP Help

    I recently installed a Surefire muzzle break on my 10 FCP. Noise increase is noticeable. I shoot mostly at outdoor ranges, so it hasn't been a problem. You might get complaints if you shoot indoors.

    First Rifle

    Midwayusa or voodoo drag bag for 3 gun competition

    +1 for the Midway bag. Just got mine today. Looks like they fixed some previous problems. String zipper-pulls have been replaced with sewn tabs. Protective coned is now attached. AR10 & scoped 22" bolt gun fit easily. Good value at $70, comparable to my $120 Voodoo.

    Rifle Scopes Mounting 20 MOA rings on 10 MOA picatinny mount.

    Arithmetic has never been my strong suit. I typically zero at 100. The scope has 40 MOA total adjustment. I'm throwing together a spare 308 with spare parts and trying to avoid buying a new mount... but maybe unavoidable. Thanks for the reply.

    Rifle Scopes Mounting 20 MOA rings on 10 MOA picatinny mount.

    Would using this combination give me 30 MOA total? Is there any potential problem in doing so?
