    Rifle Scopes Osprey Scope Review?

    Re: Osprey Scope Review? WDN-K-9, great input. I checked out a little bit of the Vortex line this afternoon. I saw a few that I liked for sure. Same with Leupold. I know very well that with the high-quality brands I'm getting good quality, but I also don't have the budget for the higher end...

    Custom Build vs. Pre-Setup Rifles

    Re: Custom Build vs. Pre-Setup Rifles Excellent posts guys! FYI I definitely plan on handloading in the near future. A range buddy of mine and I are going in on some equipment so we can load our own rounds. I know this will make a major difference. But I guess what I was really asking is if...

    Custom Build vs. Pre-Setup Rifles

    I'm looking into purchasing a new Savage rifle and having some work done to it to "fine tune" it. But I have read on the forum where a lot of people just buy each individual components and have a smithy assemble it for them. Right now I'm torn. I don't know enough about everything to confidently...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles

    Re: MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles Thanks Ninja. I honestly have never heard of IPHY or even seen those scopes. But from what it sounds like those aren't that great anyway. I'm most familiar with the MOA, but I understand the Mil-Dot enough that I think I could get used to it if I had to. I'm...

    Rifle Scopes Osprey Scope Review?

    Re: Osprey Scope Review? Yes I have Bullseye. I was just asking about that one in particular. Rest assured I have spent the majority of the day researching Leupold, Bushnell, and other scopes. Just curious what everyone else thought of the Vortex because a few people had mentioned them and...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles

    Re: MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles Do they actually make scopes where the turrets are different from the reticle? That's rediculous!

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles

    Re: MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles Lindy, for practical purposes, is there any ease of use? Ease of calculation? associated with either?

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs. Mil-Dot reticles

    Did a little looking around but haven't found a post that clearly answered my question. Basically, I know the fundamental differences between mil-dot and MOA, but which is better? I'm in the market for a new scope, and keep coming across scopes with mil-dot. Unfortunately I'm not nearly as...

    Rifle Scopes Osprey Scope Review?

    Re: Osprey Scope Review? Killshot, thanks for the thread on the counter sniper review... it definitely made up my mind there! Excellent info on the brand. I have a range buddy that uses a counter sniper and he loves it. But then again he's only been shooting for a year. Also, he has a sub .5...

    Rifle Scopes Osprey Scope Review?

    Re: Osprey Scope Review? AGAIN... I'm new to purchasing scopes so could ya please refrain from the pointless and utterly useless sarcastic comments? I've based alot of my research on user reviews and fellow shooter suggestions. If you have a better suggestion for a scope between $300-600...
