    Rifle Scopes Schmidt bender PM 2 help

    Re: Schmidt bender PM 2 help thanks guys. I'm sorted now. I couldn't get over the clockwise turrets after years of using American scopes. Also figured that the reticle needs to move down when I'm increasing elevation Wish me luck when I take this item into the field

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt bender PM 2 help

PLease advise how to properly zero the scope. The manual doesn't really make sense. Also what is the use of the yellow numbers on...

    Re: Help ! I'm using handloads of 167 gn lapua scenar at 265- fps. I have a bolt action rifle with faster loads of 155 AMAX at 2950 fps, with no problems at the same range and even at 100m. Strange !

    Help !

    I've got an RRA 20" AR10 heavy barrel. (0.936 inch). Got some 167 gn scenar handloads and it keyholes at 100m, 300m is geat too. When I take it to just 550m accuracy is really bad, shoots around the target with a few hits ( deer sized). even 800m is poor with a few hits. I'm running it...

    Re: new AW Thank you aam for your reference loads. Really appreciate it, especially with powder I can source locally. Another question, I have is whether the 300 gr projectiles will have the same range as the 250 grainers (which is optimised for this rifle at 1:11 twist) After going over...

    Re: new AW I managed to get a good deal for AI and SB scope. All these rifles are the same ( barrels, bolts can be switched out ) Why would I want to waste time, money etc buying projectiles that are not going to do well anyway. Thats what I think the rationale of this forum is for to learn...

    Re: new AW I'm organising a 45 moa sphur mount, thats that issue sorted. The rifle was originally owned by a fat millionaire type who didn't care about it or clean. The mount is definitely a 34mm one as it fits the 34mm scope. Need to sell the SB 5-25 p4F as the one with H58 reticle has...

    Re: new AW rifle has a dovetail mount in the receiver, the ai mount wont let the sb optic sit in properly, think its made for a smaller optic. cant believe they'd make such a mount.
