    Rifle Scopes USO SN3 1.8 X 10

    Re: USO SN3 1.8 X 10 Axe, you are right about that, I was only using the 20 rail because It was on my bench, and I did not have a handy flat rail.

    Rifle Scopes USO SN3 1.8 X 10

    Re: USO SN3 1.8 X 10 Axe, I was using a 20 moa rail so needless to say elevation was not a problem. I do not remember off hand the full range available off the dials. In any case I had no problem laying them in out to 1K and my standard 0 is 200. So far I have used it on .308, .260, and .243...

    Rifle Scopes USO SN3 1.8 X 10

    Re: USO SN3 1.8 X 10 Axe, In my experience, the 1.8 to 10 is the ideal optic for a build like the Gap-10. In the 0 to 300 yd zone it is exceptional on tactical sized targets. In the 300 to 600 zone it is also first rate. Beyond 600 it works but the 10x is what it is so no splitting hairs at...

    Gunsmithing best way to fill in metal knicks and chips?

    Re: best way to fill in metal knicks and chips? My two cents. Never alter a firearm or attachment, in any way that will not withstand normal use requirements for it. No epoxy on parts that under normal working conditions can become smoking hot. Although it may be a collector/safe queen item...

    Rifle Scopes USO torture test

    Re: USO torture test Thank You for all the torture testing men. I can appreciate the ability of any fine piece of equipment to take a licking and keep on working. Fact is though, and assuming all things are not equal, the USO has features which I find preferable to the others, for example the...

    338 ultra Sendero build WHAT TO DO?

    Re: 338 ultra Sendero build WHAT TO DO? Hmmm, Opinions will vary. When I am out for the casual "targets of opportunity" nature walk, I would not carry and AICS. Rather, where I find the AICS comes into its own, is when I want to do some longer range shooting with a high degree of stability...

    338 ultra Sendero build WHAT TO DO?

    Re: 338 ultra Sendero build WHAT TO DO? Neither... it was a .243, just making the point that I had not given the AICS stock much thought before, and found it to be impressive in the field. I only meant similar, in that I was dropping a barreled action from its previous stock into the AICS...

    338 ultra Sendero build WHAT TO DO?

    Re: 338 ultra Sendero build WHAT TO DO? I just did a similar build and utilized an AICS stock, and USO optic. I previously was not a big fan of the AICS chassis, however now find it to be most impressive, and plan to use the AICS for my next build also.
