    Rifle Scopes Night Force: Be Honest

    Nightforce makes an incredibly durable, reliable rifle scope. Rokslide does really good evaluations of rifles scopes, they are dropped in a repeatable manner, NF always do very well, most other brands do not do nearly as well: https://rokslide.com/forums/forums/rifle-scope-field-evaluations.133/

    Anyone with a lot of rounds through SSG-3000?

    Disclaimer: Use published load data from a reputable source. I get bugholes with 175 SMK's and 43.8 and 44.2 grains of Varget in my TRG. Very nice rifle! I've wanted one since I saw a Bosnian in an Adidas track suit shooting at Owen Wilson with one.

    Shot the AI AT-X at 1,150 yards today, good times

    Yeah bro, I'm going to order a Thunderbeast of some sort, probably an Ultra 7. Going to pull the trigger sometime soon and start the waiting game. This game gets expensive fast! First the rifle,then the optic,then all the accessories, Then of course I have to buy stuff to reload for a new...

    Shot the AI AT-X at 1,150 yards today, good times

    My friend and I recently gained access to a property that allows us to shoot well beyond 1000 yards. In the past, i've shot a bunch between 600-800 yards, but today is as far as i've ever shot. It was awesome! Once we figured out the wind, it was really easy to make consistent hits every...

    308Win - Why the High Velocity?

    I'm not sure if it's helpful, but with 44.2 grain of Varget, a 175 Sierra Match King, CCI BR2, and Lapua brass with a COL of around 2.82" I average 2,692 FPS through my 26" Sako TRG-22 in .308.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    I shot the smallest 5 round 100 yard group in my life today with my AT-X, .184" if you measure outside to outside and subtract the bullet diameter. This load has consistently been in the .3's at 100 yards, but it really opens up past 300. The ES and SD are kind of iffy. I'm tempted to change...

    1-8 LVPO or 2-10 MVPO for ar15?

    I have a Vortex Razor 1-10x and a NF 2.5-10x on my AR's that I use for longer AR stuff, but like you I still like to be able to shoot close when needed. For me, the Vortex 1-10x is as good as anything I've tried for this role, I really like it. The NF 1-8 ATACR is also supposed to be awesome...

    ZCO-TT FDE-Coyote color comparison

    I know no one is asking about Nightforce FDE, but I enjoy reading these threads and seeing how various shades of FDE from different manufacturers look together. So here is a FDE NF ATACR, Badger Ord FDE mount, and a FDE AT-X.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Oh boy. I ordered my hinge from Euro 2-3 months ago, looks like I'm in for a wait.

    I've been reading a lot about these recently, the Elevation MTR seems like a great deal! How does the stock feel in person?

    Accuracy International AT-X

    I was talking with an AI rep several weeks ago; he told me that the 5 groove barrels are all Bartlein blanks finished by WinTac, and the 4 groove barrels are made by Hawk Hill. I'm almost positive mine is a 5 groove, but I'm going to double check.

    Mount for an ATACR 7-35 on a Barrett MRAD

    I have a NF 7-35 ATACR in a Badger C1 Max. It's really solid.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Please hit me up if you locate one, I've had one on back order thru Euro Optics for a bit, was told it will be a while.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    I use a Badger C1 1.30" mount, I've since added one of their levels which mounts directly in those two little holes on the mount. I also prefer a height lower than 1.5". It works great for day optic use, very solid. I think you need the high action rail if you plan on using NV or thermal...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class Long Range Scope Review - TT, ZCO, Schmidt, March, Vortex

    Awesome review! I'm curious how the Nightforce ATACR 7-35 compares. It seems like a very popular scope in the $3k price range, but I haven't seen it included in many comparison tests before.
