    Rifle Scopes Super Sniper 20x Go or No Go?

    Re: Super Sniper 20x Go or No Go? I have a 20X sitting atop my Barrett M99. I only shoot 1000 yard matches and some informal range stuff with mine. So far the mirage hasn't been a problem but I'm thinking that the 16X might have been a better choice just for the mirage issue. Most guys on...

    opinions-convert M1a or switch to AR-10 platform

    Re: M1a Supermatch is a Primo weapon I recently converted my M1A from Bush Rifle to EBR with a Sage stock. I was seriously considering an AR-10 type rifle before the converstion, but a friend of mine was parting with the Sage and I bought it. Before the conversion and after this rifle was...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil

    Re: SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil I'm very excited about the new scopes headed our way from SWFA this year. I might have to do some trading or selling. Specifically I'd like to trade my 10X and 20X for maybe a 12X and a 20X mil/mil. I do wish that they would add an arrow indicator on...

    Rifle Scopes I have $300 to spend on a spotting scope. Help me

    Re: I have $300 to spend on a spotting scope. Help me I have the Konus 20-60X100 that I purchased on sale from Midway for under $300. Its on sale again right now. I've used it to spot bullet holes out to 300 and spotters at 1000 as other have mentioned. It works well for this purpose.

    Bootlace pistol rest

    Re: Bootlace pistol rest I'll chime in on a more serious note. When my dad first let me shoot his .44 magnum Ruger Super Blackhawk he showed me a technique that he used in the deer woods for off-hand stability. He used a piece of parachute chord that was tied in a large loop. He put his...

    advantage/disadvantage of a a1 upper?

    Re: advantage/disadvantage of a a1 upper? I used to have a M4gery for duty use. I've since morphed it to an A1 upper with a pencil barrel and turned it into a super lightweight survival rifle. I don't ever intend to mount an optic on it anymore. Strictly open sights. Set it once and...

    Inverted mount for spotter

    Re: Inverted mount for spotter I made up my own. I'm pretty handy in the woodshop so I whipped this up out of some oak, electrical conduit, and a pvc fitting. Works pretty darn good for a DIY.

    Rifle Scopes Optic suggestion - EBR

    Re: Optic suggestion - EBR I think I'd like to stay under $1000 for this project. Might have to trade off something to get to that or a slightly higher price point. I was looking at a used scope that had M3 dials. Looks like elevation adjustment is 1 minute. Seems pretty coarse for a...

    Rifle Scopes Optic suggestion - EBR

    I've recently morphed my M1A Bush Rifle (18" barrel) into an EBR via the Sage Mod 0 chasis. I went ahead and purchased a Sage cantilever scope base and some Badger Ordnance rings for the set up. Originally I was planning on getting one of the SWFA SS 1-4X scopes to mount on it. I've even...

    Your accuracy from mostly stock AR-15's

    Re: Your accuracy from mostly stock AR-15's I built my own M4gery a number of years ago. With a free float rail and EOTech I got 1 MOA at 100 yards. I've since stripped it down to a 16" pencil barrel and A1 upper. It'll do 1 " at 50 yards all day long which is all I am asking of it. I...

    Rifle Scopes Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade **Updated Pic**

    Re: Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade Although I love the Super Snipers thus far, this would be a simple upgrade that SWFA could consider to make their scopes more usable while behind the gun. Thanks Ring, cool idea as well. Well, I experimented with the plastic tape and it doesn't stick...

    Rifle Scopes Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade **Updated Pic**

    Re: Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade No joy with white ink on black paper with this model. I do have another refill that is white plastic tape and may try the full wrap idea with that. Agreed that it should stick better and the plastic will be more weather resistant. I'll post some new...

    My 1903A4 Clone Story

    With the CMP Eastern Games now being an annual event for me and three of my friends, we all wanted just a bit more besides the two Garand matches we had been competing in. Wheels began to turn and most of us moved forward toward building some type of rifle for the Vintage Sniper match. One...

    Rifle Scopes Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade **Updated Pic**

    Re: Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade Yeah, they are kinda bold. I think I'll trim them down a bit. I'll do that for my 20X on the .50 and post a pic to see the difference. The labels have started to lift off the matte finished turrets so some additional adhesive or covering will be...

    Rifle Scopes Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade **Updated Pic**

    Re: Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade The label maker is a Dymo LetraTag. If I remember right it was between $25 and $30. Negative of this label maker is the alphabetical format instead of the typewriter format. I think the more expensive model featured typewriter format and more symbols...

    Rifle Scopes Super Simple Super Sniper Upgrade **Updated Pic**

    I was down and out today because the rings I have to mount my 10X Super Sniper on my EBR build weren't high enough. So I had to do something. I recalled when using my 20X (currently mounted on my Barrett M99) at a recent match that I constantly had to look around at the end of the turrets to...

    Rifle Scopes 50 scope

    Re: 50 scope I almost picked the 16X SS for fifty caliber matches. But, I decided on the 20X since I knew I'd be shooting only the 1000 yard range. I think for general use the 10X or 16X SS will serve you well atop a 50 BMG. Both are rated for the rifle and the $300 price tag can't be...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics

    Re: SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics How about thread protectors for those worried about damaging the threads when running uncapped? That'd be super cool. Kinda like the tread protector on a barrel. I've been a mouse click away from ordering a 1-4X SS but now I think I'll have to wait. Looking...
