    Rifle Scopes scope

    Re: scope I would get a 4-16 Tasco if you need something for close range and a 6-24X Tasco if you don't. I have Tascos, Weaver, Bushnell 6500 and a Swarovski. I am not embarrest showing up at the range with a Tasco since I get just as good a performance with it as I do with the others. Old...

    Made a Mistake, How screwed am I?

    Re: Made a Mistake, How screwed am I? I used to make duplex loads. If I put the the "slow" powder (like your Varget) against the primer the load acted like the "slow" powder. If the "fast" powder (like your 4895) was against the primer, it produced higher velocity than either of the others...

    Match and Magnum rifle primers - any difference ?

    Re: Match and Magnum rifle primers - any difference ? I have used magnum, standard and match clear up to the 7RUM case. Once I work up a load I start switching primers. Some times a match makes the best groups and sometimes it does not. I have never noticed a big difference in velocity...

    Rifle Scopes range vs. magnification

    Re: range vs. magnification slothlacrosse, Boy did I discover the heart beat once I got up to 12X. For years I worked at shooting between beats because I had to hold the rifle tight or get hammered. Then I discovered muzzle brakes. Now I hold everything like I would a BB gun; just enough...

    Rifle Scopes range vs. magnification

    Re: range vs. magnification 223man, If you get a chance try the same thing with a different brand of scope. If I'm using a 12-42X Nightforce at 300 yards it is on 42X If I'm using a 5-25X Swarovski at 100 yards it on 25X. Never noticed larger groups on higher power.

    Re: How hard do I have to cry? You boys are consistant with optics forums. You condencendingly call names instead of defending your position in an adult manner. In my post I was not limiting my use of the word "most" to the posters on this forum who may or may not know how to use the FFP...

    Re: Lower Tear Optic Questions...? Colt, Here's a chance for some laughs. But I am serious. I know a fellow who has a 4-16X trajetory scope on his rilfe. At the local range he takes it out of the case and fires a cold bore shot at an old ventilated two pound propane bottle 590 yards away...

    Rifle Scopes Any scopes as compact as the NF2.5x10 and magnif.

    Re: Any scopes as compact as the NF2.5x10 and magnif. probelemchild, That guy must have bad luck with Nightforce. My 12-42X56, when it is on 42X, is so clear at 650 yards one can see the sex of a squirrel before he shoots it.
