    Rifle Scopes Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50, what would you do?

    The Trijicon has good glass, but the reticle was way to thick for me.

    Rifle Scopes 1000 bucks. SWFA or Vortex?

    If you are comparing the 4-16 PST to the 5-20 SWFA, the SWFA has the better glass, but the only way you can get it on your budget is used (they show up on this forum often).

    do you shoot .308 FACTORY ammo out of your 7.62x51 chamber semi-auto?

    I have kind of the opposite problem, my LMT throws the MagTech brass out really hard and far. I was wondering if it will be a problem to shoot suppressed with this setup.

    do you shoot .308 FACTORY ammo out of your 7.62x51 chamber semi-auto?

    I shoot MagTech M80 ball ammo through my LMT with good results.....it seems to burn clean too.

    Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

    I bought an LMT MWS in late December 2012 before they disappeared and have been very impressed with its accuracy and reliability (zero FTF to date). It is the only weapon I own that every friend I have let try it out has wanted to buy it from me on the spot!

    Rifle Scopes Another "which scope thread" for LEO

    I would look for a used SFP Nightforce 3-15 MLR or MOAR reticle (their reticles are thicker than the NPr1 or NPR2). They are tough scopes with good glass.

    Which Garand?

    I bought a CMP Special and was impressed with the new barrel and stock and especially the way it shoots. If you want to put a lot of rounds downrange, go with the special.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 Tactical 30mm

    One more bit of advice for Mr Apopkared, don't post a thread here that you scratched your new scope!

    Rifle Scopes Best tracking reliable scope for $1000-$1500

    I bought a used Nightforce NXS from a Hide member, so that would be my recommendation. In reading this thread, I appreciate the advice on spring compression for scopes that Plange gave above (I will store mine decompressed now).

    CMP Special Grade Garand

    I was happy with the Special Grade I bought. I found it to be quite accurate with the new barrel. Don't forget to pick up some CMP ammo (if it is still available).

    Rifle Scopes Scope Recommendations

    I like the Weaver EDMR in this price range (if you can find one in stock). Had a Trijicon 5-20 Accupoint with mildot reticle, it was way too thick for my use. You may want to look for a used SS HD5-20, I've seen them just over $1K for the non-illuminated version. If you like the PST, call...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 mag recommendation

    I have had good luck with the Wilson ETM magazine in my 1911s.

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-20x50 or NF 5.5-22x50?

    I was in similar situation with a 5-20 Trijicon Accupoint, the mildot reticle was huge. I bought a used Nightforce NXS 3-15 with the MLR reticle from a Hide member and have found the reticle to be just thin enough for longer distance shots (for my eyes). The SFP MLR reticle is 0.04 mil thick...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best 1911 for under $1000

    Look at an STI Ranger or Trojan, they have a Series 70 trigger if that is something you are looking for. A friend has the Traditional Two Tone Sig 1911, it also shoots well.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for LMT MWS

    I put a Nightforce 3-15 MLR on mine and its a good match. The LMT MWS is no lightweight, so I wasn't looking for a smaller scope.

    M1A Garand

    The M1 Garand is my favorite rifle, lots of history and fun to shoot. I think the CMP is running out of the $600 service grade rifles, your best bet may be the M1 special grade which has a new stock and barrel for $1000. Either way I would move fast as they are stacked up orderwise like...

    Rifle Scopes any way 2 loosen up the zoom and paralx adjustments on the SWFA ?

    I think SWFA makes a cattail for the zoom, don't know of any assist for the parallax.

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I like the Trijicon 1-4 with either a red or green triangle post site. Check out the prices at SportOptics, last time I looked they were on sale.

    LMT .308 MWS

    That was interesting reading, I don't reload right now so I also would probably go with the 260Rem. There is a lot of good LMT MWS info on this thread, glad I found it!
