    Rifle Scopes Nightforce turrets question

    I pretty much assume people are intelligent and know their equipment...maybe I shouldn't do that here all the time. So if you say everything is aligned and set properly I believe 'Bryant' might have the cause. Any NF I've used never had such a problem, something just might have been swapped in...

    Rifle Scopes First scope purchase

    Your "building" your rifle, old adage, take it's final cost, multiply by at least 3X, then start looking at scopes in that price range.

    Chassis bedding question

    In the systems I am familiar with (Saber-Forsst and XLR) it would be detrimental to "bed" those chassis. It would result in a loss of accuracy. One of the main theory's behind chassis design is to have more contact of the receiver and 'stock' (bottom and sides) over that of synthetic and wood...

    Rifle Scopes Left Handed Bolt Knobs and Schmidt & Bender Scope compatibility...

    What I always did was pull the bolt, put it in a vise, heat it with a torch then bend a bit right at the knob.

    Rifle Scopes Voertex Optics Never Ever Again!!!

    FULLDRAW So you purchased a relative inexpensive scope and it crapped out on you...BFD, fix it, exchange it, sell it...basically get over it! You just paid what's commonly called "stupid tax", learn from it. An old Gunny once told me a good rule to follow is to always put in at least three...

    Rifle Scopes ** Need some help from the Pro's on glass selection for new 338 NM build **

    We have the IOR 4-28X50 Recon on a 338 Lapua and a 50. They have both worked great for 2 years thus far...they were one of the reasons I ended up getting an IOR for my personal rifle here at home.

    Rifle Scopes I'm so tired of Butler Creek

    I guess I've been lucky...I remember breaking two only while trying to get them off shades. At their price to me the are an expendable item.

    Rifle Scopes new Vortex to be released... looks like a new Razor line

    I fiddled with several of their scopes about 4 months ago, a couple razors and the pst's. They were ok but nothing special, their razor is decent. I think the company is trying to be to many things to too many people (they keep producing all those different lines). They would do better to work...

    Rifle Scopes Talley Lightweight Rings vs. One Piece Base with Rings

    The Talley with the built in bases have a good reputation and Talley is a good manufacture. I know nothing about that scope, but if I were putting a quality scope on a rifle that I had put extra money into I'd go with the Talley Tactical rail and their tactical rings. The rings are unique in...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada

    ghost... I've had my IOR (3-18 X 50) for 9 days now, I absolutely love it. I've used every high end scope available in our systems (SOCEUR) over the years and there are features on this scope that outshines things on all the others. For a scope I actually had to spend money on I'm very happy!

    Rifle Scopes Barrett bors system

    Way back when I was doing my instructor rotations at Benning (we were still issuing the '24' back then) I stressed learning to do everything on paper, then in your head. If you learn it all you'll never have problems. This was when mil dots and moa turrets were no big deal, once you have it down...

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    As my reply to Graham, my information does not come from the internet, although you can find related material if you look (check earlier in this thread). I'm just putting out what I personally know, have seen in addition to the white papers (that are not classified in any way, you could probably...

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    "Energy waves" is the term used in the SOCOM white papers (test reports) used, if that's not scientifically correct...I don't know but the bottom line was that the two materials used (instead of all aluminum) caused a difference that that would rear it's head and cause trouble occasionally. On...
