    Rifle Scopes Leveling a scope: Plumb line and a flashlight

    I think we’re all saying the same thing here: Get the rifle in it’s intended firing position, then at the same time, Make sure your reticle is level when you tighten the rings. Criteria #1 can be met by getting behind the rifle with whatever natural cant you put into the gun. Or you can...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas TAC 4-16x44 first impressions, and final review at bottom of thread.

    No experience shooting it yet, but it’s 8pm here and looking at landscaping down the street with the scope in hand and scanning for a neighborhood cat... I can see the cross hairs at all power levels over trees and bushes, with enough clarity to easily make out larger critters. But I...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle tracking against a wall vs. firing shots...?

    This particular scope goes down to 6 meters so about 20 feet. My other scope is 10 M or about 33 feet. But many scopes lowest focus is a lot more, 50 or 100 yards, so that would be tough to do in a normal house. But you could still put a scope in a mount of some kind and do this on your...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle tracking against a wall vs. firing shots...?

    I wanted to check the tracking on a few scopes I have, but didn't have an opportunity to make it to the range... So I decided to try tracking them against a wall in my living room. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I did a quick search and I didn't see any info about doing this...

    Rifle Scopes Leveling a scope: Plumb line and a flashlight

    I tighten the ring screws in very small increments on opposite sides until the scope is tight enough to not move anymore and then torque as needed. You tighten too fast and they walk on you. I don't have Spuhr mounts but it seems it would work that way on those, too. Same method for the...

    Rifle Scopes Leveling a scope: Plumb line and a flashlight

    I ran across this the other day and tried it out. I agree it's best to get the rifle comfortable and then level the reticle, and let the zeroing process deal with any natural cant. But in the case of a new gun or setup where you don’t yet have a preference it's also nice to just be able to...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas TAC 4-16x44 first impressions, and final review at bottom of thread.

    I just got a Midas Tac 4-16 that I plan to put on my CZ455. Nice turrets, overall fit and feel. Optically clearer than my PST 4-16x50 and maybe slightly clearer than my SWFA SS 3-15x42. Reticle is a bit fine but should be good on the .22 for targets and PRS style shooting because it’s not...

    Rifle Scopes Another scope shootout question...SWFA 3-9 HD vs. Classic 3-15

    For what it’s worth, I have the SWFA 3-15 and it lets me see 22LR holes at 200 yards better than my Gen 1 PST 4-16 does .308 holes at the same 200 yards. Not by much, but it is noticeable.

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    I agree on trying to pick the best ammo, but if you’re starting from scratch you’ll definitely be able to figure our your dope and whack the targets with the $3 per box CCI SV. Then from there, start fine tuning your ammo choice, for sure. But last week one shooter was using the CCI SV’s and...

    22lr Precision Rifle Match @ Navasota,TX

    So far I’ve made 3 of these .22 PRS matches and they’ve all been a ton of fun. Each time the stages have had good variety and this last one had targets at a bunch of odd distances and not on even 25 yard intervals. I’m really getting hooked on this... So much that I just finished bedding my...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on vortex diamondback tactical?

    How would you guys rate it compared to the SWFA 3-15x42? I’m in the market for a 3-15 or 4-16 for an AR SPR rifle, and this Diamondback might fit the bill. Or maybe put it on the CZ455 and the SWFA on the SPR...

    Timney Triggers in your Rimfire

    I have a Timney in my CZ455 and when I first installed it, the firing pin wouldn't stay cocked if the trigger was set too light. You could see through the little hole in the case of the trigger the polished surfaces of the hammer and sear (I'm guessing) simply wouldn't stay engaged and keep it...

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    Today I finished modifying my Boyd's Pro Varmint to have an adjustable comb. I used stainless 1/4-24 cap head screws, some stainless all-thread couplers, and some brass tubes to make stand-offs to set the height. Not nearly as slick as the Manners T4A on my centerfire, since it requires...

    Some 22 LR Trajectory Charts

    That’s funny... my CZ455 with a 20.5” barrel shoots that stuff great. The 922A, specifically.
