I've owned a few RRA rifles. No problems with any of them. Recently went from their LAR-15 to an LAR-8 (their 7.62/.308, for those not familiar with the lineup), varmint, 20" barrel. Tack driver, but heavy, no, heavy. Quite pleased with it. They're also pretty good with their parts and...

Re: SWFA SS 10X40? for newbie If you asked "what is recommended" most answers would at least include the SS and many would have that as the only. It's good quality and is cost-effective. Yes, later on you may change, either for even better quality or different requirements.

Re: Why do so many used USO scopes show up for sal USO are excellent quality. As a personal example, that's part of my dilemma in a "different direction" as others have mentioned above. I have an SN4S which would be just fine for my M4 setup. The trouble is, it being heavy duty, that it is...

Re: 600 dollar and under scope choices ? Aaaaarrrggghhhhh! You mentioned the "CS" name! Wash your mouth with soap and hide as there will be flames, I'm sure. As far as Falcon is concerned I've never had one - must be emphasized. I was seriously considering one but saw posts with a lot of...

Re: FAL "carbine"? They are not the most accurate (good for MBG more than MOA) and scoping is a PITA unless you get the aftermarket Picatinny receiver cover but they are indeed the most reliable. Consider the moving parts in any self-loader. Usually, there is a rotating bolt of some sort...

Re: USO 1.5-6X SN-4 Barrett REC 7 <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Fitz</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Interesting mount. If only the USO was a true 1x. It sounds like that is the only issue with it. Great vid. </div></div> The SN4S is the 1-4...

Re: Acog or traditional optic for an M14? Smith mount (unless someone else has come out with something as solid), the 3-9 as above or a Bushnell 10x 3200. Anything under 500 yards - irons.

Re: Best mid-price optics for an AR30 .338 Lapua? The Burris would be nice, as would the Vortex. I would make this comment first before I make my suggestion. A .338 Lapua is generally a much longer range cartridge than 500 yards. That does not mean you can't use it within 500 but it does...

Re: Good scope for 1000 yards? Depends what you'll eventually shoot at. If it's plates, casual shooting or some hunting, then 10x is fine. If you are punching paper and need to hit the tighter rings for a score, then you need more. If you are going to shoot from a field - level stabilizer...

Re: Co-witnessing front sight ? That's why I don't even own a red-dot sight. Yes, my scope has a red dot in a circle but that's for when I use the scope. Otherwise, it's irons only. I put a Meprolight in the front and look at that "dot". A half-way decent cheek-weld puts me on the rear...

Re: Looking for ideas on a good first AR Only thing I would add is to really think through your optics and sight choices depending on what you choose for the "handle" and gas block/barrel sight configuration. You can get really wound up with 1/2" clearance issues, especially with a fat...

Re: Which mount, AR-15 / USO There is no problem with eye relief with the std. USO mount on my sn4s (forgot the number but it's shown on the site - I'm heading out the door for a couple of days so no time to look). I just wanted to suggest a heads up re the thickness of the eyepiece. You...

Re: Which mount, AR-15 / USO Also, take note of how much clearance you need on the eyepiece end - if you have irons, for example. USO scopes are usually a bit thicker than some others (though S&B sometimes has the same issue in their short dot). I have a USO SN-4 and the eyepiece doesn't...

Re: dark ops counter sniper scopes I just feel bad because I could have got 2 of those instead of my USO and have money left over.
