    Rifle Scopes Glass and rings for my M1A in a JAE-100......

    Re: Glass and rings for my M1A in a JAE-100...... I also have a SA M1a Std-Loaded. I mounted a NF 5.5-22x56 on it. As far as iron sights, I didn't pay $2k for a scope that I think might let me down and then I would have to use iron sights. I have a JAE100 G3 on order. I went with a Sadlack...

    Re: Custom leupold mk4 m2 knobs I was just on the phone with Leupold yesterday inquiring about retrofitting target knobs on a VXII, anyway, I'm pretty sure I saw on their website that they also make custom engraved target knobs. Here's Leupold's phone number. 800-538-7653 503-526-1400...

    Boooooooooooooo Remington!

    Re: Boooooooooooooo Remington! I had the same thing happen to me three weeks ago. I paid for a Rem 700 in .308 and when it got delivered, and we opened the factory sealed box, the bbl was .223, but every other piece of documentation said .308, except the barrel. I called Remington and...

    Rifle Scopes First scope... would I regret it?

    Re: First scope... would I regret it? I've was a hunter for years. I believe in getting a gun and setting it up right the first time, and then forgetting about it. Consequently I have a couple of Leupold Vari X II AO 3.5-10 on my hunting rifles. It was pretty top of the line 30 years ago(I...

    How do you "trim" a buffer spring?

    Re: How do you "trim" a buffer spring? My friend recently had a similar problems with his AR-10. He sent it back to the manufacturer who opened up the gas port on the barrel. When they test fired it, it still had a problem cycling, they then determined that the gas port on the gas block was...

    Which rings to use on M1A w/Sadlak to allow irons

    Re: Which rings to use on M1A w/Sadlak to allow irons I have a M1a Std-Loaded with a Sadlack mount, and Badger std rings, holding a NF 5.5-22x56mm. I can't see the front sight because of the front bell. I lined up a laser and the laser hits the bell by about 1/4" (eyeball guestimate). The...

    Anyone have/see JAE 700 stock

    Re: Anyone have/see JAE 700 stock @ Ord, I'm not defending (or attacking) JAE, and I don't know what was said three years ago to make people send in a deposit, but I wouldn't be too happy after 6 months much less 3 years of waiting. Lisa seems pretty genuine, and is quick to call back and...

    Anyone have/see JAE 700 stock

    Re: Anyone have/see JAE 700 stock I just talked to Lisa @ JAE yesterday. The JAE700 stocks were not released 3 years ago. There was only one JAE 700 stock back then, a non- working prototype. It was was <span style="font-weight: bold">SHOWN </span>at the Shot Show 3 years ago, to see if there...

    Boy do I feel dumb...

    I went to the gunshop today to pick up my new Rem. 700 SPS-V in .308. The Manager, sales person, and I all verified the serial number on the DROS paperwork, reciept, and rifle all matched. Even the box and owners manual had matching serial numbers and showed the caliber as .308. Just one...

    Rifle Scopes NF 56mm vs 50mm bell clearance

    Re: NF 56mm vs 50mm bell clearance Rosie, I google searched this issue prior to posting my question, and already read the sticky that you linked to. My question was more anecdotal in nature. I was sure the scope bell would clear the bbl with std ht rings, but would there be a problem getting...

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor 5-20x50 Ocular Design

    Re: New Vortex Razor 5-20x50 Ocular Design Besides being a top quality scope, and providing superb customer service I think the fact that top military and police units are using NF speaks for itself. Also NF has a longer history than Vortex. Do not take that to mean that Vortex is a lesser...

    Rifle Scopes NF 56mm vs 50mm bell clearance

    I bought a Remington 700 SPS-varmint last week, I pick it up this weekend. I am going to buy a NF 5.5-22x56 for it rather than the 5.5-22x50mm. How important is the 6mm difference between the 50mm and 56mm? As far as scope price I'm pretty sure the 50mm and 56mm is the same price anyway. Also...

    Re: Got my first USO scope - is this normal? PICS This thread brings up a couple of questions. Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread but... In a case like this shouldn't the seller have been contacted first, and given the opportunity to rectify the situation before his name was besmirched? I...
