    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - Professional Marksman

    This price argument is all relative. I have friends who own 800-1200 scopes and think that I am crazy for buying 2000-2500 scopes, because their scopes can get it done just as well as mine. I also have people who come into the shop and think that anyone who pays over 250 is nuts because their (...

    Rifle Scopes I need some direction on MILRAD vs MOA.

    The other issue I have is that my other three long range shooters that I train with all use moa scopes. I have tried using a mil scope in the group....it can be done....but it is a pain in the ass... Everyone on the same page is much easier.

    Rifle Scopes I need some direction on MILRAD vs MOA.

    I prefer the MOA/MOA...my mind seems to get the .25 moa = 1/4 inch math, along with finer adjustment....however, your high end scope choices are limited, as not all scope manufactures offer a MOA reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Has anyone used the Nightforce Velocity 1000 reticle on a .338 Lapua?

    Yes, I ran this reticle on a .338 Lapua that was built by H-S precision. My load was a 250 grain Sierra match king over 4831 Sc powder. The reticle was HV.5. I was able to work up a load that matched the reticle. It took time and patience, but it can be done. I was happy for a little while...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Customer Service....is GREAT

    I am very happy with my ATACR. I have run it with a USO 5-25 and I personally prefer the eyebox and overall ergonomics of the ATACR. Glass is a tie. Second focal plane is just fine for me as well.

I bought a new ATACR that I absolutely love and while I was setting the zero stop....did something stupid....my fault...not Nightforce...Called Nightforce and told them the situation....they...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Velocity reticles?

    I guess that I didn't think that I was lazy or dumb when I bought my velocity reticle and put the time and effort into making it work. I thought that Nightforce had a good idea, and wanted to try it out. I shoot at least every other week, and have participated in long range competitions before...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Velocity reticles?

    Yes, I bought one for a custom .338 Lapua. I spent some of time matching the load to the reticle, and with a little work, I was able to get everything to match just fine. It is a great system if your are willing to put the work into load development and bullet bc selection. If you like to switch...

    Thanks for all of your replies.....I have tried the Leupold Mark 6, with the 7.62 CMR-W reticle and did not have very good luck with it. The scope I ordered was supposed to have illumination, which the scope that showed up did not, right SKU and box, but wrong scope inside. When I asked our...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Military 3-15 X 50 Or Premier Light Tactical 3-15 X 50

    Gentlemen, I have narrowed my next scope purchase for my REPR project down to these two scopes. I would like to hear comments/opinions from anyone who has had any experience with these scopes, either individually or head to head. Thanks.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18 7.62 CMR-W reticle front focal question

    The lost sub-tensions were from 500-1200. The only ones visible at full power were 500 and up. I have since sent the scope back due to a packaging problem. I ordered one with illumination, but the one i received from our distributor did not have illumination. The box and sku were correct , but...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18 7.62 CMR-W reticle front focal question

    I have a 16" REPR that I am looking to scope, and ordered a Leupold MArk 6 3-18 with the 7.62 CMR-W reticle. I have used reticles like this in the past, specifically the Nightforce Velocity reticle, and have been very happy with them. The Nightforce was a second focal scope, and you can use the...

    I have an ATACR on a .300 WSM and love the scope. I have personally had it side by side with a NXS, as well as a US Optics 5-25, Leupold mark 4 and 6 as well as a Sightron. Glass, clarity and color, are all excellent with the ATACR. The only scope that came very close to it in optical quality...

    Rifle Scopes Used USO SN3 3-17 or new Leupold Mk6 3-18?

    I ordered a new Leupold Mark 6 3-18 with illumination and it arrived last night at my local gun shop. Had ordered it from a well known and respected distributor, and when I took the scope out of the box, it did not have illumination. Leupold had put the wrong scope in the box, as the box...
