    Night Vision FLIR Breach or Skeet IR ?

    Hi Guys, I want a thermal to scan through an area for small game to help plan my stalk. I need atleast a 2-300m capabitliy. I'd really like something that is mountable on the gun as well as handheld. Currently I just have a PVS 14 on a helmet mount with rifle mounted IR laser...

    cleaning barrel during long range session

    We have a very slow rate of fire. As in write notes about the shot in data book e.t.c after each shot. I always carbon fouling clean after each trip and run a patch the bore prior. Never removed copper, ( still on like 300 round count). And sorry it was not after 8th shot but 20th shot...

    cleaning barrel during long range session

    The other day I was shooting at 1230m with 338 lapua AWSM. Shots were consistent, but then after about the 8th shot ( unsupressed ), 2 shots started going like 1 mil down and 0.5 mil left. I looked down the barrel and it was pretty dark, so I took a pull through ( OTIS cable with correct bronze...

    AR 400 versus AR 500 - real world differences?

    I use AR400 and its fine and doesn't dent except when using the steel core ammo and 7.62x51 at less than 100m. My steel thickness is 14mm

    Rifle Scopes scoping a sig 716

    thanks for the reply. Think I'll stick to the ACOG for the AR10. With a 16 inch pencil barrel its not really a tack driver. I'll use the S&B for something else.

    Rifle Scopes scoping a sig 716

    Would a ACOG 3.5x35 with 7.62 reticle be better or a S&B 1.1-4 ? Only these scopes are available to me I want it for quick 5-800m stuff. I have the 16 inch patrol version Thanks

    First Look, the Accuracy International AX338MC

    OMG ! The hex screw is not captive ! I can just see some operator or hunter stalking like 20km to the FFP or some target of opportunity, then putting is barrel back on when he sees that that screw has gone into the long grass, or even into the depths of his back pack. Oh the horror ! Who...

    First Look, the Accuracy International AX338MC

    I think you're an idiot if you don't use the internal grooves of the spuhr rings how they're designed by using rosin or spray on glue as indicated in the manual the mounts come with. The Factory AI mounts and their aluminium suppressors are a joke, rubbish quality and are in a much lower...

    First Look, the Accuracy International AX338MC

    I already have an AW and I think its amazing. However I was disappointed with the issued scope mount made by some british airgun manufacturer. They should have teamed up with SPUHR etc as that could be a big weak link. I like the new AX MC, especially the barrel detach feature which means I can...

    First Look, the Accuracy International AX338MC

    Just reflected with my smith. We feel that the hand threading of the barrel and the tiny 4mm hex key cannot maintain the same level of torque after every barrel change. Also what if the thread gets worn. I need an explanation on how the barrel switch system can maintain zero after numerous...

    Official Accuracy International AT First Look

    So will the barrel time and torque perfectly every time its taken off ? What are the big advantages of the AT vs the the AX308 mc ?

    Accuracy International scope mount

    While I consider the AI rifle/muzzle brake one of God's gifts to mankind, superb piece of gear. I'm hoping that they release a takedown AX which I will buy. Here's a mini review of some of their accessories THe factory scope mount doesn't have any markings on how many mils it has of...

    Fieldcraft Evading a Sniper

    to the OP, I think you should watch the numerous Syrian/Iraqi sniper videos on youtube etc and look at the mistakes the quarry has made or what the people have taken to avoid getting hit. Pretty much if sniper can't see you, he can't shoot you, or just run really fast when moving over open...

    Rifle Scopes Epoxy mounting scope into spuhr

    I did everything as per the instructions that came with the mount, and the specified torque settings are rubbish ! I couldn't get Rosin, so I use a spray on glue. That was the only thing holding the scope ! Found out when I was changing the scope. So you need to apply more torque than...

    Rifle Scopes Optic selection help.

    Yes crosshair you're right. I was about to order a VXR yesterday being mil/mil and all but was put off by no zero stop or even revolution marks. I think I'll just save up for a few months and get the S&B 10x42 with the 13 mil single revolution. In my experience in this game you learn that there...

    Rifle Scopes Optic selection help.

    Thanks for the tip on the IOR. For sure the 40 mm will have great light gathering abilities. However I'm looking at more of a basic setup with this gun. I just went to the local shop and they have some nice Leupold Mark AR firedots, tmr reticle and the turrets were in mils ! At like $700. Only...

    Rifle Scopes Optic selection help.

    Milspec as in used by militaries downrange. Japan is not really "Asian", they're much better quality, especially with the likes of Olympus microscopes etc Almost on par with Euro/USA gear. S&B is the issued optic for the AI 308 series and has seen a lot of battles throughout the world. I...

    Rifle Scopes Optic selection help.

    sorry I should have been more specific. I need it to be leupold, nightforce, e.t.c Can't have something made in asia etc as there's no resale value and I don't consider them to be milspec

    Rifle Scopes Optic selection help.

    So I have this nice 308 which is good to 1000, 24 inch barrel. I've been using a Leupold 30mm 4.5-14 x 40 with target turrets and its good. However I'm not happy about the 1/4 moa clicks and multi turn turret as its easy to get "lost" in them. I'm sure I can sell this for decent coin...
