    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? Does the ER/T have anything different/updated like any changes in the glass or lens system that makes it updated or just the dials and FFP? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dieselgeek</div><div...

    Rifle Scopes My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5??

    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? Good to go guys thanks for all the input I feel a lot better now about understanding everything. And I was wrong, it is $280 more but it is the difference between the 6.5-20x50mm M1 LR/T and the 6.5-20x50mm M5 FFP ER/T. So the cost difference is...

    Rifle Scopes My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5??

    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? That may be it however I can not find an option for an M5 in the LR/T, only ER/T. Is there ER/T just have the FFP as the only other difference?

    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? I have been thinking about it more and more today and I think I am beginning to grasp and like mils better. With everything you guys just told me about the scope as well I think I am convinced and will take the plunge!

    Rifle Scopes My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5??

    So I have been reading all day the difference between Mil/Moa setups like a Leupold LR/T and the Mil/Mil setup like the ER/T M5 dials. Needless to say I can not decide if the M5 is worth the extra $280 bucks. I have grown up only knowing MOA on iron sights and scopes for hunting rifles and can...

    Rem 700 5R...Any reason not to cut my barrel down?

    I have a Remington 700 5r in 308 and am about to have a brake installed. I have been reading a lot about barrel lengths and still haven't come to a conclusion. I read a SWAT article saying there was no real difference in velocity loss with barrels from 26-20 inches yet other people...

    Gunsmithing Need a really good cerakote finisher..

    Well I just posted about a rifle, rings, base and bottom metal I had done months ago and needless to say I received the rifle back and very unsatisfied. Unfortunately I have been moving around a lot with the Marine Corps and wasn't able to look at the rifle until I got back home several months...

    Gunsmithing Question about cerakote colors

    Re: Question about cerakote colors It is very noticeable, I would show you all some pictures but I am currently not with the rifle bouncing around to different places in the Corps. The bottom metal is a quality aftermarket detachable mag so I don't believe its the metal quality in this case.
