    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards I thought the SS had more like 120 MOA, but I might be wrong. I agree about Leupold though. You should be glad that you have such good conditions for ELR! I guess it would compensate for your 9.5 twist in regards of transonic stability. Regarding my new LR...

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards Sounds like a great rifle! Thanks for the info. As for scope suggestions, I have used the Sightron SIII 10x on my 308, it is listed with 150 MOA (mine has about 145). Sightron makes a 16x and a 20x model as well, both of them are listed with the same amount...

    March 1 - 10x24 for Extreme range shooting?

    Re: March 1 - 10x24 for Extreme range shooting? What about the S&B 5-25x56? It has 26 mils in the turret, and using holdover in the P4 reticle you should have approx 8 mils extra at 25x, or 13 mils at 15x. A total of 39 mils ( 135 MOA) at 15x. And the Leupold MK4 16x has about 150 MOA...

    Pakistan gives warning against further raids

    Re: Pakistan gives warning against further raids Its funny that Pakistan and the West are considered "allies", when it is obvious that PK are hiding terrorist scumbags, without taking them out. If PK really tried to their best ability to hunt down the terrorists, then the "threats" would have...

    50 BMG goes subsonic at 1500 Yards? Effect?

    Re: 50 BMG goes subsonic at 1500 Yards? Effect? In the army, we did try some ELR shooting with the Mk211 round out of a Barrett M82. It was a cold, clear day, 1 mph wind at max, approx 1000m ASL (3300 ft). Range 2210m, 1x1 meter target (3x3 feet). We used 3-4 shots to find the correct hold...

    Rifle Scopes Need help to ID this scope

    Hello everyone As the title says, which scope is this? The elevation turret looks like an S&B, but the windage turret looks like a Leupold. http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/1580/6465prtfotostephen.jpg High res, takes a while to load (at least on my PC) EDIT: Here I have another picture...

    Rifle Scopes Reticles similar to S&B's P4 / P4F

    Hi I shot a 338 rifle with a S&B 5-25x56 scope with the P4F reticle yesterday. There are many things I liked with this reticle. One of them being the fact that when you zoom down, the reticle offers more mil markings for holdover. It doesnt have the thick post below the center, like the mildot...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 16x for long range

    Re: Leupold MK4 16x for long range Anyone with more inputs? Do you believe that the MK4 16x is good enough of a scope for the job? It has the required elevation travel (one of very very few), and thats the most important factor.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 16x for long range

    Re: Leupold MK4 16x for long range Because the European scopes lack the elevation travel that the Mk4 16x offers. That being said, the S&B 5-25x56 with P4(F) reticle is being considered. It does only provide 26 mils (90 MOA) elevation, but at 15x you can use about 11 mils in the reticle...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 16x for long range

    Re: Leupold MK4 16x for long range This is not for personal use, its in a MIL setting. As far as I know the US military has not done any research on this particular subject. Yes, they (like every military) have done some testing of scopes to be able to use the 50 cals out to their effective...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 16x for long range

    Re: Leupold MK4 16x for long range Thanks for the answers guys. Money is of no concern here, there are only three things I demand; ruggedness, optical clarity for ELR shooting, and most important, tons of elevation adjustment (internal and/or with reticle). Of course, things like matching...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 16x for long range

    Hi guys I'm considering a Leupold MK4 16x40 scope with the TMR reticle on an army issued Barrett M82A1. Mainly because of the large amount of elevation travel (140-150 MOA). The Barrett has 27 MOA rail and with the Barrett Xrings with 40 MOA it would give me almost 140 MOA of useable elevation...

    338LM Mythbusting :) VIDEO POSTED

    Re: 338LM Mythbusting :) Great shooting! Very interesting read. But you mentioned that you had to power the scope down to 8x to see enough mil markings in the reticle. Since you had 25 mils in the turret, and 36 mils total elevation needed, that should be 11 mils in the reticle. But...

    Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 Scope

    Re: Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 Scope Why not get a MIL/MIL NF instead of a MOA/MOA? As a European it will be much easier to make adjustments. When it comes to elevation adjustment, does the NF 5.5-22x really offer any advantages over the S&B 5-25x? I see that the NF is listed with 100 MOA...
