    Worst Value Optic?

    When it comes to Nightforce, I think the ATACR line is almost worth it for the reliability. They can still fail, but they seem to survive more moments of pure stupidity than others. The SHV line though... I would love to see the profit margin on that 4-14x F1 model. Exclusively paying for the...

    Any regret buying an alpha scope?

    I encourage everyone that is nervous about "regretting" an alpha scope purchase to just do it. You will either love it, or realize you can live without it. Your brain won't shut up until you try one, and no one likes living with regrets. Years ago when the ATACR 5-25 Mil-C came out, I traded up...

    Mounts: QD or Regular for return to zero?

    After using LaRue, Eratac, ARC, and Bobro QD mounts, I now only use the Bobro on my AR but a standard mount/rings and a torque wrench on everything else. If you are going onto the same rail with the same pattern, rings can work fine. If you are switching between firearms, I would recommend a...

    Chrono factory match ammo - any benefit?

    I think your reading comprehension issues are showing. Working backwards is just a longer more wasteful way of truing our calcs vs getting the MV straight from a chrono and punching it in. It still leads to successful long range first round hits in varying locations and conditions if done...

    Chrono factory match ammo - any benefit?

    I know OP ordered a chrono but for anyone else that comes in here: I have been shooting factory ammo out to 1000 yards for over 10 years and have never used a chrono with factory ammo to determine my calc input. Working backwards takes little time and effort for me with success out to 1200...

    Is 14.5 the middle ground that doesn't matter any more?

    I hate the added bark of <12", don't need the velocity of the 18" so its just added weight and length, and I can P&W to meet 16" with minimal extra length for non-NFA compactness. That makes 14.5" perfect for my needs. But my needs are furbearers and other farm pest typically within 300 yards...

    Any shops specialize in chambering AI AT barrels from a supplied blank?

    Who is offering prefits in the old AI contour??? Everyone I see offering ready to go prefits is in either the post-'18 heavy contour or is offering traditional Marksman, Heavy Palma, or M24/MTU contours. I had been looking for one but recently accepted that I am going to have to go the blank...

    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    Somewhat on topic with the last few post: what contour do people prefer for a 16-18" weight conscious build but with a heavy suppressor? My TBAC 338 is going to clear well before I get around to purchasing something lighter for dedicated rifle use. I would prefer all steel, but not against...

    British SAS wanted everything green for their original PM purchases and it became the factory standard for quite awhile. Source

    Mk12 Mod 0 / Mod 1 SPR Scope

    Unless you are prioritizing shedding ounces, I would pick up a 4-16x42 ATACR here in the PX. I have a NF 2.5-10x24 on my AR, but have tried the 4-16x on it before and loved it. The only real con to it is weight. The Leupold 3-18x Mk5 is an optic I would like to try before grabbing a 4-16 ATACR...
