    Back-up iron sights w/o QD scope rings

    It's meant to be a philosophical question. The scenario I imagine is during a hunt and the scope is dropped hard. Even if the glass isn't cracked, the zero might have changed. Instead of packing it up for the day (or weekend), the scope could be removed and the iron sights could be used instead...

    Back-up iron sights w/o QD scope rings

    For rifles with back-up iron sights, is it mandatory that the scope have quick-detach rings or mount? Otherwise, is everyone always carrying a toolkit or wrench with them?

    M82A1 rear sight

    They are not meant to be removed. I am having a hard time understanding why you need taller rings though. Do you have a scope with a large eyepiece?

    Rifle Scopes Octagonal tubes?

    Those who hone their scope rings would not like that idea.

    This picture makes me wish I made more money. (Although it looks like they ran out of money when it came to the scope.)

    Rifle Scopes Anybody have Schmidt-Bender-1-8x24-Short-Dot?

    There are a very limited quantity available to the public. I considered buying a used one from a forum classifieds ad but the guy was asking more than list price. <BS>It would have been a good scope to go along with my Premier 1-8x and BEAST.</BS>

    Rifle Scopes Help with scope for Tavor

    I have only brief experience with a EOTech / magnifier combo. There was no blooming or distortion that I noticed. After owning several EOTechs, the biggest thing I notice is a grainy reticle. Glass quality and lack of blooming is what drew me towards the holographic sights.

    How about an EOTech XPS3 and 4x magnifier?

    Rifle Scopes Barska Optics

    Are you asking if it will make a good target for your 338LM? If so, I would say they are good for that.

    M40A3 build at PWS in Quantico COMPLETED!! Detailed pictures on 3rd pg Range report 4th pg

    C'mon, it's a more than just 8 characters. ;) There were about a half dozen of the NSN marked M8541 scopes for sale on the internet last summer between roughly $3k to $6k. The non-NSN marked scopes have cropped up from time to time from $2.5k to over $6k. (Not mine)

    M40A3 build at PWS in Quantico COMPLETED!! Detailed pictures on 3rd pg Range report 4th pg

    The spec is 1.5" of bedding in front of the lug. That is also approximately where the barrel begins to taper.

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-27x56 worth the extra coin?

    I don't think it is fair to judge Schmidt and Bender's decision to produce the 3-27 based on civilian sales and economics. It was said before that the scope was designed for niche military use. It would be more fair to question if the scope is the best available regardless of price. There are...

    Rifle Scopes SCOPE TUBE MATERIAL

    Both alloys with a T6 temper have close to the same elongation at break. (12% for 6061 versus 11% 7075.) This difference in brittleness is negligible when 7075 is significantly stronger, harder, and tougher. The big drawback is cost. If people associate 7075 with brittleness, this may be from...

    Rifle Scopes What kind of scope does

    Judging from the pictures, I believe it is a Mark 4 MR/T. It looks to be too short for an LR/T. Besides, the correct scope for a Mk 12 is supposed to be a Mark 4 3-9x36 MR/T with M3 turrets.

    Is there a FF handgurard that doesn't require remoal of the barrel nut?

    Another vote here for the Daniel Defense Omega rails. No removal of the delta ring or gas block. They install with a screwdriver and included allen wrench. Best of all, they lock up solid and true to the upper receiver.
