    weatherby accumark??

    Re: weatherby accumark?? I have a 30-378 and 257 Wby Accumark. The 30-378 is a 1MOA rifle with Barnes TSX and MRX. Shoots better with SMK and Scenars but this is my hunting rifle so I stick with the Barnes . The 257 sub MOA with Swift Scirocco. Most Wby chamberings have an ungodly amount of...

    Rifle Scopes AR15 Glass - Can one do it all?

    Re: AR15 Glass - Can one do it all? I run mainly Aimpoints on my ARs I tried the 1-4 route, first with a IOR ( love the horseshoe recticle ) and a NF. For goofying around at the range they worked great. What I found was that neither was as fast ( more critical eye relief and placment of head...

    Overall ok 1st day with SL8-6, But one problem..

    Re: Overall ok 1st day with SL8-6, But one problem.. Not easy to inadvertantly bump fire the SL-8 / G-36 trigger group. Relatively long reset. Drop the lower reciever off ( do this over a clean workbench ) Pull trigger while letting hammer down under the control of your thumb. The front...

    Manfrotto tripod

    Re: Manfrotto tripod Can't go wrong with a 055 or 190 . You only need the PRO version if you want to have the ability to swing the vertical column to horizontal. I personally use this for photography but don't find it necessary for a spotter You may want to try the pistol grip ball with a...

    Re: Anyone use Larue Rings/base on a Rem 700? First off, I am a Larue geek. Have lots of their mounts and other goodies. Having said that ,I would much prefer a good set of rings ( Badger etc ) on a precision bolt gun. If you look at a set of Larue rings and compare them to steel Badger Style...

    Rifle Scopes AI or Badger Ord one piece mount?

    Re: AI or Badger Ord one piece mount? It was what they had in stock for 34mm w/ 20MOA . Most of the NEAR Alphamounts don't have the two rings up front. The price for the 3 ring vs 2 ring was the same BTW I would prefer to have one ring in front so I have some latitude on movement of scope in...

    Re: Help me choose a spotting scope I run a Zeiss 85 . Use to use a Leupld Gold ring and my shooting buddy runs a Swarovski ATS80 . We are hard pressed to tell the difference between the Swaro and Zeiss If I were to do it all over again, I would opt for the Zeiss 65. The 85 is freaking huge...
