    Rifle Scopes Same glass for every rifle???

    Re: Same glass for every rifle??? I have to say that given my funding options (very limited) I have different glass on all of my rifles. I do have a brand preference that I generally stick to unless I find an outstanding deal on something. I have recently acquired a Burris XTR624 and am...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? i actually feel a little violated now. after talking to a leupold dealer a couple years ago i was under the impression that just about everything leupold was foreign made but turns out that about everything he carried was the low end...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? I did not say leupold was made in china, just overseas. I do not know where they are made i tend to not look at items after i notice they are not made in USA. and if you notice a few posts back i specified, and you quoted me on it, that...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? Don't get me wrong - the quality (in my experience) is what one would expect: very high. But since I work in an American factory I prefer to purchase 100% American made products when ever possible. I also own a Ziess - simply "Assembled...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? imho none of the leupolds are the same since they're made overseas. that's why i stick with burris (signature select, black diamond, erodiamond, xtr - the usa made ones). not to mention the few times i have dealt with their customer...

    Rifle Scopes My 7th broken scope.

    Re: My 7th broken scope. I am a Burris man... main reason being made in USA. For my hunting scopes i prefer a 40mm or 44mm in 3-9 or 3-12. I also prefer Burris Signature ZEE rings - your not gonna mark or mar up much less break a tube and you dont need to lap them. I do completely believe...

    Re: 1/4 moa out of armalite AR-10? ur input please 1/4 moa from ar10? when you do meet him at the range i want to be there for the 100 yard proving because 1/4 moa is going to be about .260 and since a .308 is well, .308... it wont fit. Not that he can't prove it at 200. I don"t even own a...

    Need input/advice on stocks.

    I've saved up enough dough to buy the rifle to go under my scope. So for now I need input on stocks. Here's what I know: I love pistol grips - I can get my bigass hand on it. I am "comfortable" with all of my hunting rifles - the "monte carlo" style. You know, factory. I have a...
