Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50 There were rumors at the Ft. Benning International Sniper Comp last week that the P3 reticle would be available in the US sometime in the future. This would probably help a lot, but there is not a definite date. Even with the thin...

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50 I did not ask that specific question, but I assume that will be a 30mm tube. The 5.5-22X on hand was a SFP model. I was just surprised that the rep was making an "official" announcement given how tight lipped NF can be with pending products.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50 I got to shoulder the S&B 1-8X at the Ft. Benning International Sniper Competition Sponsors booth yesterday. I was told that this was a prototype version, and that S&B was acutely aware of the thin reticle criticism. To be honest, the...

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50 After reviewing the reticle pics, I understand the criticism that the lines are a little too fine. However, it seems that this is most apparent on lower magnifications where the red dot is major aiming mechanism. At higher magnifications...

Re: Larue Aimpoint 3x FTS (pivot) Mount Experience I have the Larue and it works as advertised. However, you will have to move it back a couple of rail spaces when using a Aimpoint M4S to allow for clearance of the battery compartment.

Re: Lwrc repr or larue obr I have both - 20" REPR and 16" OBR. They are equally reliable with PMAGs after the REPR magazine catch modification. The OBR is lighter (of course) and more accurate with quality factory ammo. However, the REPR can hold about 1 MOA which will get you out to 800-1000...

Re: Premier Heritage 1.1-8x24 are on the way! Should we be able to see the illuminated cross hairs at magnifications above 3X if the illumination setting as set at the highest setting? That is to say, we should go from a bright red dot to bright red crosshairs. The video gives the impression...

Re: Premier Heritage 1.1-8x24 are on the way! So, it appears that you can't see the crosshair illumination at higher magnifications during daylight? How does it do at dusk or night?

Re: Desert Tactical Arms .338 I have the same rifle and scope setup. I went with the Larue LT-107 QD mount. It has 3 levers which is probably overkill and 30MOA slope. So far, I've had no problems with holding zero.

Re: The Evolution of the Bolt Gun (prepare to droo Any word on ballpark cost?

Re: M110 SASS replaces M39 EBR and Mk11 Mod1 in US Jeff, I hear ya - the M110 is so 90's. Having used the M110 and shot the SR25-EMC, I'd take the EMC any day of the week. It is the most refined 308 AR on the market. I think that Kevin has some posts demonstrating the EMC has the 800 meter...

Re: M110 SASS replaces M39 EBR and Mk11 Mod1 in USMC Ah! I'm remembering those times when I was forced to wear my brain bucket and had to use the top rim of my eyepiece to keep it from covering my eyes...especially fun when prone and the back of your IBA rides up and turns the front of your...
