    Rifle Scopes Did I damage my scope?

    I wasn't suggesting it would damage anything; I just thought it may give you a lower torque than you were expecting.

    Rifle Scopes Did I damage my scope?

    If you're using a dry cap surface and a dry screw head don't you get a lower compression force than expected for the same torque? Maybe it doesn't matter...

    Rifle Scopes Did I damage my scope?

    I had a similar issue with a NF scope in a Spuhr mount. The directions on the Spuhr mount said 15 to 25 in-lbs on the cap screws, so I thought I'd use 25 in-lbs to make sure that my 18 pound 6.5 creedmoor didn't rock the scope out of alignment with it's incredibly abusive recoil. With the cap...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K318i vs. K525i

    Ultra short scopes are the new fad. The longer optical systems are going to be more forgiving; I don't have the details of the prescription, but I think we can be confident that a larger objective lens will yield less sensitivity to eye position at the same power. Some people seem to favor low...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K318i vs. K525i

    To me the question to ask is "what am I going to do with this optic"? If your targets are very small then maybe higher power is the direction you want to go. I think, people tend to use 14x to 18x power for PRS and field matches anyway, so the top powers are more of a special use thing or a...

    Rifle Scopes Finally Sniper's Hide Scope Tracking Targets

    These are great targets! Frank gave me one at the 2018 snipers hide team challenge, and now I know that my very expensive scope doesn't track correctly! So much frustration has been explained. Thanks, Frank.

    Rifle Scopes Market for high priced glass????

    There's also a strong second hand market for optics. I bought a high end scope a while back, and sold it a while later. It only cost me a couple hundred to own and use that scope for a year and a half. I spend more than that on books in a year!

    Setting up for 6mm Creedmoor

    I don't have a 6cm; I shoot 6.5cm. But I was looking into powder options for a friend with quick loads, and it looks like vihtavori N560 powder will produce good velocities with low pressures in the 6cm with heavy bullets. It might be worth a look.

    Proof Research Carbon Fiber Barrels

    It's just a barrel... I don't care if people on the internet don't like it. I think it's pretty great.

    Proof Research Carbon Fiber Barrels

    I don't think that's necessarily true. I know a guy who bought a Hensoldt 3.5-26 and decided that he wasn't happy with it. Then he sold it right here on the opticsPX. He didn't try to pass off that he actually liked it just because of the price. Also, the Proof barrel that I have on order at...

    Proof Research Carbon Fiber Barrels

    This is just grip tape as a mirage shield. I took the top rail off the hand guard since I never use it and used some 2" wide grip tape to clear the optical path a bit and give the hand guard a bit of texture. Also, it looks nice.

    Proof Research Carbon Fiber Barrels

    My experience with Proof carbon barrels has been really positive. I bought the rifle with a really heavy barrel on it, and it dropped 3 lbs when I switched to the proof barrel. I've got a 26" sandero contour carbon barrel on it currently, and it seem to like the Prime 6.5creedmoor ammo. I...

    Applied Ballistics depressed BCs due to SG <1.5

    I think you have to set the BC yourself when that happens.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Torture Test Video

    I've got one of those NF Beast scopes. I really like the little clicky nobs on this thing. NF customer service was pretty easy to talk to, and they even installed the Mil-C reticle in it for me. I haven't seen any of the issues that have been discribed in this thread. Maybe I'm just lucky...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO optics?

    I think the better reticle options is a strong reason to go for the new kid. I hope they are working with mount manufacturers to provide appropriate mounting solutions.

    Rifle Scopes Should I buy a Tangent Theta?

    This sounds like a teenager giving life advice. The statement "The only way that won't happen is if you're silent and say/do nothing" is obviously false. There are plenty of people on the internet and in person that can give an opinion and have a rational discussion without offending or taking...

    Gunsmithing AI firing pin bushing from .080" down to .062"

    Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.

    Gunsmithing AI firing pin bushing from .080" down to .062"

    Is there a gunsmith that will bush the firing pin on an accuracy international AX308? I was referred to Speedy Gonzalez in TX, but he's proven to be hard to get a hold of. He's not responding to emails and his voicemail is full. Maybe there's someone else that has more time?

    Rifle Scopes March GENESIS - ELR scope

    Is MOA the popular choice for ELR? I like the concept, but they'll have to price it to compete with a normal scope plus a Charlie Tarac.
