    US Optics vs Vortex Razor

    I am looking to pick up a scope for a 26" 7mm-08 being built on a Deviant action. I've narrowed it down to either a US Optics FDN-17 3.2-17x50 or a Vortex Razor 3-18/4.5-27x. I'm a little partial to US Optics, as I have owned a few over the years, and still have an SN3 3.2-17x that I bought...

    Sightron New releases and other info

    What's really surprising to me, at least looking at their website, is I don't see a single scope geared for hunting.

    3x18 Reccomendations

    I'm on my second Crimson Trace Series 5 3-18, and I have been absolutely underwhelmed. Illumination is not daylight bright, and the reticle is borderline unusable at lower powers....you can barely see it at 3-5x, and even at 18x, it still doesn't "fill" the FOV. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge...

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    I ended up sending the scope back for a replacement. The turrets are better, but there is still movement...it's really not what I would expect out of a Japanese optic. My Bushnell certainly doesn't have the "slop", and neither do the Philippines manufactured Vortex Vipers, Nikon M-Tacticals...

    New barrel on an old Ruger

    I wish I had known about the Southern Precision deal two weeks ago...I just ordered an action and barrel blank!

    Rifle builders in Georgia?

    Any recommendations on rifle builders in Georgia? I recently ordered a Defiance Deviant action and Bartlein 7mm 1/8.7 twist barrel, plan is to build a 7mm-08 in an AICS stock. Years ago, Accurate Ordnance built my first rifle...but they are no longer in business. I've heard good things about...

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    That's what I assumed. I'm actually giving Crimson Trace another chance, and having Midway replace my current one. I'm interested in seeing if the turrets are still the same, hoping that the next one is a little more "solid".

    Firearms WTB: Action/barreled action/barrel blank

    EMAILS ONLY! EMAILS ONLY! Please send ALL messages to [email protected] I am looking for .308 bolt face short action receiver, or possibly even a barreled action. Must use a 700 footprint/trigger, looking for something along the lines of a Kelbly Atlas, Stiller Tac30, Defiance...

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    Is the illumination daylight bright?

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    I *think* I have it figured out. I removed the turret completely, and there are over 4+ turns of total elevation from top to bottom...but, no matter how you adjust it, you are limited to 19.5 mils of elevation (regardless of whether you are at the top of elevation travel or not). Not sure what...

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    I've seen the "stop" under the turret, how is it adjusted?

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    I guess it's possible the zero stop is limiting travel, but the manual is absolutely worthless...ill have to play around with it and see.

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    In my search for a decent 1-8x scope for an AR, I found the Crimson Trace scopes on clearance on MidwayUSA. I debated a while between one of the Series 5s and Bushnell DMR's, as they were basically the same price. I ultimately went with the Bushnell, but still kept watching the scopes. Midway...

    Crimson Trace Series 5?

    What's the general consensus on Crimson Trace scopes? MidwayUSA still has a few of the Series 3 & 5 scopes on sale/clearance, and I've been looking hard at the Series 5 3-18x. Looks like a solid scope for $799...FFP, zero stop, illumination, and made in Japan. Any reason to avoid the scopes...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Brownells MPO

    Any real reason not to try one of the 3-18s? I see they are still on sale through Midway, and I'd *really* like to mount one on a Tikka T3 .223. How do hey compare with an IOR 4-14?

    TAC in .308?

    Anyone running TAC in a .308? Specifically, anyone using it with 168gr bullets? I just ordered another 8lb jug, and I have been using it primarily with 55-75gr bullets in a .223. It looks very close to H4895 in burn rate, meters like BL(C)-2, and is...

    6.5 Creedmoor vs 7mm-08

    I'm looking at having another rifle built for targets/steel, and I am considering a 6.5 Creedmoor. I currently have a couple of heavy .308s, and I know the ballistics of the 6.5 trump just about anything out of the Winchester. I also have a built...

    Rifle Scopes IOR scopes?

    What's the general consensus on IOR optics? I've looked at ordering a couple over the years, but I've always read that warranties can be hit or miss. The one I'm looking at is a 4-14x50, with the side focus and illuminated MP-8 reticle. I've always heard that the glass on these scopes is...
