    Rifle Scopes Are Burris Extreme Tactical Rings going to get the job done?

    I've got some laying around, if I ever end up using them again I'll have to remember to throw some loctite on the crossbolts as well as the cap screws.

    beretta_man, what parts loosened up on you? Was it the cap ring screws or the mounting nut? Do you think some loc-tite would have made a difference?

    Rifle Scopes Anything I should know about mounting a scope?

    I normally use feeler gauges to level the scope. I recommend a torque wrench for tightening all the screws. Lots of guys use the Borka, which has a nice compact size you can take to the field with you. I've got a CDI torque wrench. Remember rings are tightened in inch pounds, not foot...

    Rifle Scopes Razor 5-20 mount for RRA LAR8

    It would be really nice to see an extended AAD mount for those of us who shoot NTCH.

    Rifle Scopes Are Burris Extreme Tactical Rings going to get the job done?

    There is a possible issue with proper eye relief. As long as you don't have to bridge the gap between your upper and your rail with the rings I don't think you will have any issues.

    Rifle Scopes Rings for ar50

    I would look at the new SS 3-15X if you want to stay under $1000. I really like the look of AAD triple lug rings and I will probably go that route on my next bolt gun.

    Rifle Scopes Trg high picatinny rail ring options 34mm

    Personally if I had a TRG I would get the spuhr mount.

    Rifle Scopes Good QD Mount?

    I've never been a big ARMS fan, but what issues did you experience with Larue and ADM?

    Rifle Scopes Scope inbound, now need base/rings

    I have an EGW on one of my rifles and it has worked fine. Admittedly it has not seen very rough use. For bolt guns I like Seekins and AAD rings right now.

    Rifle Scopes Good QD Mount?

    I'm not 100% of your goal, so it is difficult to make recommendations. I have been happy with my LT 719 rings, but they will have to be adjusted if moving between different rails. I would look at the AAD triple lug rings and the American Rifle rings. LaRue Tactical Ultra-Low Mount Rings QD...

    Rifle Scopes Razor 5-20 mount for RRA LAR8

    IMO the primary consideration is proper eye relief. I would look at the AAD one piece mount, Larue SPR and SPR-E, and the ADM Recon and Recon-X mounts. If you normally shoot with a NTCH position you will likely need the SPR-E or Recon-X mount. With the Razor 20MOA can't isn't needed to go to...

    Rifle Scopes Help me choose a new optic for my BCM 16" middy!

    I like aimpoints for close in work. My SBR has an aimpoint M2 with 100% co-witnessed front and rear BUIS. Troy fixed on the front and Larue fixed on the rear.

    Rifle Scopes Cant decide on what scope to get

    Those are some nice piggies. I need to go hog hunting again once I get back to the states.

    Rifle Scopes Max internal elevation 30mm 34mm 35mm.

    The new SWFA is 3-15X. I'm not sure how they crammed that much adjustment into it.
