    Rifle Scopes New guy, very new, with questions

    Re: New guy, very new, with questions Hi all, So i ran down to pick up the scope from my friend. he set me up with a one piece rail by IOR-Valdada and yankee hill rings (YHM-300A). So i guess im set for now on optics. so now i guess i need to think about a bi-pod.

    Rifle Scopes New guy, very new, with questions

    Re: New guy, very new, with questions it seems the night force scopes are popular. they have a base on amazon for 114. a bit more than the seekins. is having a base with the recoil lug built in worth the extra $? whats the advantage? thanks!

    Rifle Scopes New guy, very new, with questions

    Re: New guy, very new, with questions ok thank you. i found this review on the EGW mount: "Get what you pay for, but still had twisting problems with long-range setups on 5r's and PSP's. Will not sit flat without almost stripping the screws in two cases." to be fair its the only negative...
