    Rifle Scopes Viper PST vs. Nightforce NXS $1000 Difference?

    Re: Viper PST vs. Nightforce NXS $1000 Difference? SA-Lee, For wht it's worth: I don't know how the Viper compares to a Nightforce but I do know how a z5 Swarovski does. When I compared the two I own on a scope chart at 700 yards the z5 needed 25X while the Nightforce needed only 20X to...

    Rifle Scopes Trying to get into a cheap scope?

    Re: Trying to get into a cheap scope? The other day I purchased a 4-16X Tasco. I took it to a gunsmith who laughed and told me it was trash but he would put it in his fixure anyway. He has a grid about 100 yards from his table where the fixture is bolted down. He was convinced the...

    Custom Hornady Dies

    Re: Custom Hornady Dies I have used them a few times. The reason I go back is because they work to make a standard factory rechambered rifle shoot almost like a benchrest rifle. But I am not loyal to the mark and got the last set from Lee. I will let you know how they work out when I get a...

    Rifle Scopes differnt folks comparing scopes

    Re: differnt folks comparing scopes lennyo3034, That was sorta what I had in mind. It was very intersting. But more specifically I was wondering if different folks need more or less magnification to see the same thing the other guy does.

    Rifle Scopes Importance of scope height to barrel...

    Re: Importance of scope height to barrel... A month or so ago I saw where Ty at Barnes posted on thier web site that a higher scope seems to flatten trajtory over a lower mounted scope. I like a 2" high mounting, but I like Weatherby stocks. My custom stock was even higher. Has anyone...

    Rifle Scopes differnt folks comparing scopes

    Have any of you posters taken a few of your friends and compared varible scopes to see what difference, if any, each person needs to see the same detail of a distant chart or something with sharp detail? Each person looks though the same scope and then they all look though another.

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide between fixed or variable

    Re: Help me decide between fixed or variable With the quality of variables available today I don't understand why anyone would even consider a fixed power scope. As the other has mentioned the adjustment allows more versitility. My 12-42X56 Nightforce allows easy use from 50 yards on out...

    Hunting & Fishing Best caliber for coyote hunting???

    Re: Best caliber for coyote hunting??? How 'bout a .224 Howell? It fires a .425 B.C. 75 grain A-Max bullet about 3,500 feet per second requiring only 50,000 PSI according to Howell. It is nothing more than a .22-06.

    Re: do u like burris zee rings? They are the only rings I use. They hold a 21 ounce scope on my .375 and many in between down to a bolt action .22 with a 6-24X being held by them.

    Hunting & Fishing All around caliber

    Re: All around caliber Most of my life I have been told I am weird. Again it looks like it here. I go for the .257 Weatherby or a wildcat that is close with 100 TTSX for everything in the lower 48. For Alaska I would take my wild cat .375 with 250 TTSX at 3,100 for everything 'cause I'm...

    Rifle Scopes Best place on the tube to have the rings?

    Re: Best place on the tube to have the rings? Once a rifle slide over and thescopehit the ground. The scope ring was close to the turret so there was maximum leverage to bend the scope. From then on I place the rings as close to the bell and as close to the magnification ring as I can...

    Rifle Scopes what power scope?

    Re: what power scope? If someone is shooting a safe place with his rock chuck rifle, using a binocular or spotting scope will not be any safer. He already has a safe back stop and knows the surroundings. When I shoot grounds quirrels in Centeral Oregon with a scope which goes to 20X it is on...

    Advice on primer choice

    Re: Advice on primer choice merely switching from regular primers to magnum picked up 200 feet per second in a 25-06 firing 120 grainers, so you may be correct.
