    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    Virgil - Completely understood and I agree that this cannot be done with a run of he mill 16" AR. My primary point, and I may not have been clear, was that they distance is doable with a great gun. Everyone has their preference in Mil's or MOA. There lack of options in MOA configurations is...

    Rifle Scopes New Optic from Nightforce?

    Looks like they came out with a finer line MOAR. Not an MOA guy myself but it's a nice reticle for an MOA reticle and it looks like their trying to build on that. I like the Horus reticles myself. SHV | Nightforce Optics, Inc.

    Rifle Scopes New Optic from Nightforce?

    I was just tooling around looking at the BEAST which I am waiting for and noticed something new on their site. Check this out. Looks like they are trying to get into a lower price point... SHV | Nightforce Optics, Inc.

    Cadex Chassis sales?

    I hope this is not a hijack. I think its basically on the same subject. I am getting ready to buy a couple too for my long action .338 LM's. The thing that worries me is that they use Badger M40 recoil lugs that are .313" thick. Does anyone know if they will fit in the recoil lug slot of...

    Building an MK12 1000 Yard Rifle

    I live at 1000 feet in elevation and generally shoot at 3000 feet any above. I have what I would have wanted for a MK 12 with a polygonal barrel so I get just a touch more velocity from it than a button rifles or cold hammer forged barrel but I have shot a 10" steel plate at 800 meters and know...

    Anyone put a DCM barrel on their M4?

    You know another name to consider is Black Hole Weaponry. I know their not as well known but I have had extremely good luck with them. I have a 20" rifle platform and my version of a MK 12 Mod 1 that both shoot .5 MOA groups with their barrels and Black Hills 77 gr. OTM's. Just food for...

    Rifle Scopes What size tube would you prefer on your new scope? 30/34mm

    I think trends are going to 34mm for most optics geared toward my shooting style and disciplines. Most of the optics I find myself interested in currently have 34mm body tubes.

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    I have used and currently own both 22x NXS's and 25x ATACR's. I have never bothered to buy a 22x 50mm objective optic. Understanding that I shoot 8-10" steel plates and/or silhouettes, and animals in field oriented environments, I don't need huge magnification to shoot at longer distances. I...

    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    Do you really HAVE to have an MOA/MOA configuration? If you were willing to go to Mil's your options would greatly expand.

    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    A really good RECCE carbine is capable of shooting good groups at 800 meters with a good shooter. Ive seen Larue PredatAR's with 16" barrels consistently ring 10 inch steel plates at 1000 yards. Heck, there have been successful engagements on bad guys in Afghanistan at 800 meters with Mk 12...

    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    Schmidt & Bender makes a pretty nice 1-8 that may fit the bill accept it isn't offered with an MOA based reticle.. I looked at the USO 1-8 and I'm not too impressed with it. From what I've looked up, Vortex may be the closest option but the resolution on the 2.5-10x32 is really lousy. This...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce turrets question

    Who called you from NF? I've spoken to a few of their tech support guys and they are always helpful.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce turrets question

    After my post about 50 clicks if it were a Mil turret I remembered that their High speed turrets have 100 clicks. I think you may have Mil turrets like a lot of the others on this thread think.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce turrets question

    I agree with RyeDaddy. Just give NF a call. They will either be able to help you figure it our or get it to them to have them fix it.

    Rifle Scopes AR mount options

    I actually like the American defense mount for a QD mount. If you don't need a QD model, the NF unimount is a great option.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce turrets question

    If it were a Mil/Mil scope he would be getting 50 clicks per rotation though.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce turrets question

    OP, can you post a picture of your lead screw? I wonder if there are divots from someone over tightening the set screws and you are slipping a little bit...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce new product development

    You ever look at their Low UL rings? If you cut for the body tube any lower, the clamp would protrude into the cradle. You can't make a pic rail mount any lower.

    Rifle Scopes MOA or MIL

    I have used both and currently shoot Mil/Mil primarily. I don't think either is better but both have advantages for certain crowds. My Nightforce's with Mil turrets adjust 10 Mil's per rev. That means I adjust 34.38 MOA per revolution. This means faster adjustments to distances if needed...
