    Rifle Scopes Which mid / low end scope in 4 - 12, 14, 16 range?

    I have a Mueller APV, and it works well for its price point on my 10/22. Not had any problems.

    Rifle Scopes Top end magnification to get to 1000 yards in .308?

    Well, after reading your post, it seems you don't want high top end magnification. I don't blame you, as I find my Premier Heritage 3-15 about ideal in that magnification range and distance. It has excellent glass, and turrets are close to perfect. The Premier company was bought by ATI, a large...

    A new KIDD in the family.

    Great looking rig. I would love to hear how you bedded that thing, as I was going to try that soon myself. I am just a bit scared that I might mess mine up.

    Rifle Scopes NF 3.5x15x50 F1 or S&B PMII 3x20x50

    If you want the robustness and durability, and don't want to compromise glass, I would look at Premier's 3-15 Heritage. It is one of the more robust designs I have seen, and glass that will be as good or better than anything out there. Just another option, but any of the scopes mentioned are...

    What bipod should I buy?

    To me, I feel that the rail mounted lockup of the Atlas has more strength than sling stud of the Harris. Could be in my head only, but just how it appears to me.

    AW Magazines in AICS?

    Thank you Kirk, but I will disagree slightly. I am aware that the action has to be cut for the AW magazines. There is some work that usually has to be done to make the magazine latch engage the AW magazine to make it work. I am not a smith, and I am sure someone knows the specifics will help me...

    AW Magazines in AICS?

    I have been wanting to try the same thing in my AICS, just haven't got around to picking up an AW mag. My Defiance is cut for them, but they were pretty hard to come by for a minute. Anyone run AW mags in an AICS without any modification?

    What bipod should I buy?

    I have the Harris S-BRM and a couple Atlas V8.1 and they both will get the job done. I find the Atlas much easier to use, and prefer it. The Harris will work, although it is not as sturdy or tough. You have to decide if the Atlas is 3x as good for yourself, as there is a substantial price...

    Rifle Scopes If you could go back in time....

    That's not my understanding, spend what you can afford. A Rem 700 5R and a Sightron SIII for about $1500 was how I started, based on good advice. I still have both items, and they work excellent, especially considering that when I bought them I couldn't tell you a damn bit of difference between...

    Rifle Scopes POS Nightforce* UPDATE*

    I would turn the scope 60 degrees to account for the Coriolis effect. And which scope is the best under $231?

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Military 4-16x50 or Vortex Razor 5-20x50?

    Steiner would be my recommendation of the two you listed. I would also consider a used Premier or S&B for around that price range. Just my two cents.

    Rifle Scopes NF vs. Vortex vs. S&B

    Good luck with the new scope, it is a good one. Always liked the NSX line, just wanted it in FFP like everyone else.

    BCM quality question

    They are a good mil-spec manufacturer. They make excellent BCGs and charging handles, and have a very nice quality upper. One of the better mil-spec companies to deal with. Not who I would use for a precision build, but for a fighting gun they are just fine.

    Rifle Scopes NF vs. Vortex vs. S&B

    Is weight a factor in your rifle? Is it a beanfield type rifle, or will you be packing it long distances? Just for hunting or will you use it for comps? Huge scopes and large magnification ranges aren't ideal for hunting scenarios, in my opinion. The pesky deer pops out at 25 yards, at a trot...

    Which is better and cheaper 6.5 or .308?

    Well, better is pretty subjective. Better at what would be my question to you, then I could give a better answer. Cheaper is less subjective. $33 for GMM in .308 is more than $26 for Hornady 140 AMAX Creed. And if you reload, then I would say that it depends on what brass you use for the .308...

    Tuning VLD's

    Tag for later, I just got some 6.5 140 hunting VLDs for my Creed and would love to have a better idea on how to tune them.

    First ladder test

    I would also think that trying again focusing on the 44.2-44.6 looks good. Load up some rounds of each in that range and see which one shoots the best. That looks like the window with the most promise.

    Rifle Scopes Docter sight vs Eotech xps2

    And to throw a kink in there, have you ever looked through a Aimpoint T1? I am a fan of the EXPS2, as a friend shoots with it, but I like the 2MOA T1 a tad more. I think that you could get it quite low with one of the many mounts out there, if you wanted to. No experience with the Docter.

    Rifle Scopes ACOG Eye Relief- A2 Stock

    VLTOR A5. Really worked well on my SPR, with a TA11.

    Rifle Scopes Premier reticles availability

    It was on the Hide here and both S&B and Premier reps commented. Premier used to make the Gen II XR reticle for S&B, but doesn't any longer.
