    Rifle Scopes SWFA 3x15, 0 moa base, ok out to 1000 yards?

    My ballistic calc calls for 33 moa at 1000yards from a 200yard zero (.405 BC 3000fps). That scope has an advertised 36 mils of elevation (124 moa), so if after zeroing you ended up close to the center of your adjustment, you'd have around 60 moa of up available. That should stretch you out to...

    Rifle Scopes Mid Range Tactical $1500 and under, HELP ME

    SWFA is having their tax day sale today and tomorrow. I'd be tempted to grab a 5-20x50 HD for 20% off. They are among the best buys under $2000 even at full price. It's a great full-size option, as is the Bushy DMR and a few others. The smaller SS 3-15x42 is also one of the best values in its...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS for a Nikon Monarch

    Does the SS 20x have mil adjustments with mil-quad reticle? Mil/mil is always nice, but if you are getting by just fine with the mil/moa Nikon, that isn't much of an issue. The SS 16x is mentioned quite often as being noticeably dimmer than the famed SS 10x; the 20x even more so. I think...

    Rifle Scopes Help wanted

    The Bushy DMRs are great scopes for the money, only real downside is they are on the heavy side. A Leupold Mk 6 3-18x would be perfect, though you'd probably be looking for a used one around $1500, or maybe find a demo. Stellar glass, warranty, very light and compact for its power range. For...

    tactical pants

    I absolutely dig my Propper STL I tactical pants. Way comfortable, not sweaty, a little stretchy for full mobility and there are tons of practical pockets (can accommodate AR and multiple pistol mags if desired). Reinforced area for knife carry. Been wearing daily for around 6 months and no...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation

    Generally, high magnification low priced scopes diminish image quality in the higher powers pretty quickly. Most of the ones you have listed have Chinese glass and construction, but may be serviceable. Remember, dropping $400+ on Chinese-quality optics is a sunk-cost; as resale value is very...

    Rifle Scopes Varmint scope, cbq combo for LMT .223 Ar platform

    Vortex Viper 2-7x32 bdc (discontinued). It is an impressive little scope, especially on the close out pricing they were on 2 or 3 years ago. I wish they still made it, it's a great AR form factor, IMO. Got 110 moa of adjustment on mine...

    Rifle Scopes Varmint scope, cbq combo for LMT .223 Ar platform

    Here's my RMR mounted on a Weaver 1 o'clock mount. No change in cheek weld, just roll rifle slightly to the side and the dot is right there. It does hang out there a little and can snag on gear if you're not paying attention. Mounting straight above scope works too, but gets pretty high above...

    Rifle Scopes Need Informations...

    Zeiss Conquests are among the best bang for the buck in hunting scopes. The 56mm objective options out there are, to me,'pretty much for dedicated low light use, IMO... as opposed to general hunting environments. There are some excellent hunting scopes for $800-$900 out there. Here are some...

    Rifle Scopes spend my $1000 on a scope

    The SS 3-15x42 is a strong option in the $600-$700 range, as is the weaver tactical 3-15x50.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for M1A

    I'll echo the 2.5-10x mag range recommendation. A lightly used Nightforce 2.5-10x32 would be hard to beat for the $1000 ish price point. The 32mm Vortex PST would be great as well. The new Burris XTRII's are worth a look. The 1.5-8x would be a great M1A setup also. For value, the SS 3-9x42 is...

    Rifle Scopes Glass?

    Main differences are reticle choice and illumination. The HS-T is a great (hard to beat) value for the mid $500 price point. It is second focal plane, and depending on your shooting type and preference, that may be fine. For a little more, the SS 3-15x mentioned offers an excellent setup with...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on scopes welcome

    If second focal plane is what you're after, you'll do no better than the ATACR for the money, IMO. Probably the best overall SFP out there, all things considered (durability, tracking, glass, resale value, etc). I've yet to hear of anyone regretting that purchase. :cool:

    Rifle Scopes Scope for my ar

    My first choice for that application would be the SWFA SS 3-15x42. It can be found on demo pricing occasionally for around $600, and used under $600. The vortex HS-T 4-16x44 would be my next pick, but in that mag range I prefer FFP. But, it is a high value scope that would be great. For a...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a mini reflex to a scoped SPR. (PIC REQUEST)

    Pros and cons to each way of mounting, IMO. With mounting on top of the scope you end up with a chin weld when looking through the sight. Also, fairly high over bore height. With the 1 o'clock mount like the weaver I'm using, you can maintain the same cheek weld you have with the scope, just...

    Rifle Scopes AD Recon/Vortex 4-16x50?

    You won't have any trouble zeroing at 100. Never hurts to have the extra elevation if you are going to try some long shots at some point. I like the ADM mounts I have. That should make a nice setup.

    Rifle Scopes One of those annoying new guys with scope questions...

    The main difference between the PST and the PA, besides the turrets, is the PST comes with matching units; mil/mil or moa/moa. The PA is a mil reticle calibrated at 14x with moa adjustments. I prefer to use second focal plane mil dot scopes as moa-dot, being as the lower end ones usually have...
