Reticle options and rotating ocular are the two exact reasons I am still not considering NF over Razors. That will change the moment those two issues are addressed - if they're addressed.
I didn't specify, but that was how my setup was when I ran into that problem. HOG with 60mm QR plate and it's still in the way. It's do-able... but like I said, you have to put a longer QR plate on there, or slide the QR plate halfway out of the RRS base.
After reading this thread back on Scout, I knew the RRS leveling base was the only base I could go with. I ended up with the 3342 instead of the 72 because I needed it to be a little lighter. I've got the universal leveling base on it. I started off with a HOG Saddle, but since my rifle is still...
Who cares what everyone and their mother is going crazy for? You don't really need any reason to build what you want.. just that you want it. All I would say is that many times, a trendy cartridge like the Creedmor is popular for certain reasons. As long as you realize the...
No, wasn't mine.. I haven't had it out at UNSC yet. I'll be out there as soon as I pick my build up from RBros in a week or two. I just joined UNSC and got my badge 2 weeks ago, so I haven't been out there much.
I know you were asking LL, but I just recently made the choice between the PRST and the Feisol 3342. For me, it really came down to the flick locks and the cerakoting vs the higher weight rating, and lighter weight than the PRST. When I compared 3 leg vs 4 leg tripods, the decision was easy...
It seems like the guys who really advocate for carrying a rifle by the scope are focusing on the fact that a quality scope shouldn't fail for that reason, or they've been doing it that way all their life and haven't had any problems... I don't carry my rifle properly because I'm worried that...
There's other good tripods out there, that's just what worked for me. RRS stuff is expensive, but worth it if you can swing it. Manfrotto makes some decent stuff, but I like Feisol better personally.
The NF would probably be great for all of that except shooting. In that price range and weight, I'd look at a Feisol 3342. You'll still probably want a ball head or leveling base of some kind too. I'm running the 3342 with a RRS leveling base and it's spectacular.
I get the argument that it should be able to stand up to that, but IDGAF. I will certainly never do it, and I'll look at you like you've got a dick growing out of your forehead if I see you do it. I'm a grunt Marine, so shit like that has been beaten into me. It's also something I would curb...
