    Ares ETR UHD 3-18x50 or comparable scopes?

    Here’s another solid option and there’s a 15% off coupon floating around right now ( COLDBORE15 ) and they don’t charge tax and shipping is reasonable. Direct from US Optics. I’ve not mounted mine and tested yet but preliminary opinion is positive. https://www.usoptics.com/product/txh-3-18x/...

    Ares ETR UHD 3-18x50 or comparable scopes?

    https://www.eurooptic.com/athlon-ares-etr-3-18x50mm-aplr6-ffp-ir-moa-riflescope-212105 Looks like the MIL version is out of stock now. I got my MIL versions at Midway on a “One Shot Deal”.

    Rifle Scopes Element Optics Nexus - First Impressions

    Any update on these as I’ve seen some very good prices available on them? Whats primarily holding me back is the mention of the yellowing hue on the far outer edges of the glass. You can see it also in a few of the pictures posted above. Has this been resolved or is it still present as it would...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    So I spoke with ARC about light primer strikes with the 19lb spring in my Nucleus again. I’m sending my entire bolt in for them to replace the spring to the 25# and inspect the bolt. I’ll report back when I get it back.

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Tagging in. I’ve had 2 light strikes in 60 test rounds with the 19# spring. TT ARC today and they’re sending a 25lb spring. I hope this resolves the issue. Does anyone know what other actions or MFGs use in rated springs. I’m running Peterson SRP Brass, CCI 250’s.

    why did ARC suspend Barloc sales?

    Because the topic of the thread is wanting to know why ARC suspended sales of the Barloc. It’s not about scope Turrets getting banged. We are wanting to know why and some have done some testing or are in the process of doing some to see if there is an issue. Personally ive not experienced any...
