    Rifle Scopes JP mounts

    I put my order in for a 6.5 CM LRP 07; but was not sure whether to go with the JP mount for it or spring for a Spuhr. I'd appreciate any firsthand experience on the JP mounts, I've searched the forum and Google and found that people LOVE their Spuhrs, but also many references to the JPs being...

    How to Move a Safe (1000 lbs.)

    I just had to move mine out a few feet yesterday to paint and put trim down. Mine is well over 1k lbs. Myself and two others were very easily able to do it with 4 pieces of PVC. I was actually amazed how easily it rolled. Of course, you want to go very slow as if it were to tip, there would be...

    I'm going with the dust cover just to have it, plus here in OK it gets dry and windy... so the more dust I can keep out, the better.

    Jp lrp-07?

    Finally ready to pull the trigger so to speak. All I have left to decide before ordering tomorrow is 6.5 vs .308. I really like the ballistics of 6.5. However, I already have quite a few calibers and adding another seems like a pain, plus the local availability and barrel life of .308...

    Jp lrp-07?

    Likely submitting the build Friday. Now for the 2-3 month wait. Ordering scope in a month or so (likely the new Razor Gen 2).

    Maggie’s Whats the absolute worst conditions you'll go shooting?

    I prefer going to the range when it's well below freezing. Never crowded then. Cold has never bothered me though. To answer the question though; if it's above about 100 I am not getting out of the AC.

    Jp lrp-07?

    Another Vickers I mean. Are there any drawbacks to the QD attachments over regular attachments on a precision rifle? Also, on my other ARs the sling attaches to the side of the rail, but that seems like it would pull the rifle to the side in more precise applications, so should it be on the...

    Jp lrp-07?

    2 new questions: 1) What would you all recommend for sling attachment (method and location)? I have a Vickers QD on another rifle and really like it, so would probably go with another of those for the actual sling. 2) How does the JP mount compare to the SPUHR mount? pros/cons of each for a...

    Jp lrp-07?

    I definitely will. Haven't put the build order in yet but plan to in the next 2-3 weeks I think. I'm now thinking I will look at slightly higher glass; maybe a Razor or the new (albeit heavy) Gen2 Razors.

    The heat sink is definitely planned on.

    Jp lrp-07?

    My budget is about $1K (I can go higher if I have to, but it would mean waiting a bit after ordering rifle). I do like my Zeiss scopes. I did look at comparison shots of the PST online (I know that won't tell me TOO much). From what I saw the PSTs looked decent enough.

    questions about SBRs

    Not a lawyer and can't vouch for accuracy of anything in the below; however, it has a letter purportedly from the ATF regarding this. I also don't have a dog in this, I just enjoy researching. See post #4 Caliber Conversions and the Law

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST for JP LRP-07

    Awesome to hear. What do the higher priced Razors add then? I tried comparing but am not familiar enough with scopes yet to know what it means in practice (lots of research, but no hands on exposure to good optics).

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST for JP LRP-07

    I'm glad to hear this positive feedback on the PST. It seems to be a good "budget" scope for me to start with.

    Jp lrp-07?

    I completely agree to get the best I can... to a point. I'm working but in school as well, so money is a bit tight (the rifle is a big purchase for me) and every purchase has a trade-off. Basically I don't want to spend more than is necessary for my abilities... I can always upgrade later.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST for JP LRP-07

    I am planning on a JP LRP-07 build. After reading on here it seems that the Viper PST is very well regarded, especially for its price point. Does anyone have an reasons to get something other than the Viper? Or to may more (for a novice) for something higher-end? Also, can anyone recommend a...

    Jp lrp-07?

    Thanks guys. I think I am going to leave the jam nut in the order. I think for this one I want the 22" barrel for the max velocity. Is the Vortex PST going to be the best bang for buck, or does anyone have other similarly priced recommendations? Or, is it worth it (to a relative novice) to...

    Jp lrp-07?

    Yeah, this build is for maximum range. I have a milspec 5r rem 700 I picked up on a very good deal that is my usual hunting rifle. Plus a Savage 7mm RM. I will probably pick up a shorter upper for future hunting.
