    Rifle Scopes Can you recomend an inexpensive beginner's scope for an AR?

    Primary Arms 4x14 ffp mildot http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/196057-primary-arms-4x14-ffp-mildot.html They go on sale every now and then for like $180, but they're still a steal at ~$230. Next time I see them on sale, I'm going to pick up another.

    How confidant are you; 3/4 inch consistantly at 100+ yards POLL

    This reminds me of the MOA ALL DAY thread on Arfcom. For having some of the most laser accurate motherfuckers on the face of creation, this board comes up severely wanting (people who actually can vs people who say they can) whenever a challenge is issued. Zero doubt that there are some lasers...

    Rifle Scopes LaRue vs American Defense mounts

    I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm simply saying that more info was needed and instead of trying to solve the OP's specific query you took the opportunity to point out the shortcomings of LaRue's product. The truth of the matter is that while your information is accurate and informative, it isn't...

    Rifle Scopes LaRue vs American Defense mounts

    There is a question which is being missed here... What are the specs of the rifle? Some people on this forum will take any opportunity to piss in LaRue's corn flakes.

    Info request: Out of the box accuracy - CZ455 vs Savage Mk II

    That also assumes that you can't tell when you fuck up with a .22lr trainer. The FIRST thing I noticed was the gun was so damn heavy that off a bi-pod and rear bag it didn't move at all and I could see if I was jerking it around. At that point, honestly, the impacts down range became much less...

    Rifle Scopes Why SFP under 10x

    The theory on a 1-x LPV, as I understand it, is that you're likely to shoot with the optic in two positions 1x and Max. At 1x the markings would be irrelevant due to size on a FFP and a SFP scope should be calibrated so the reticle is functional at the max setting. On anything else, like a 3-9...

    Rifle Scopes can you recommend a good scope ?

    http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/196057-primary-arms-4x14-ffp-mildot.html Note that I REPLACED the fixed 10x SWFA SS on another rifle with one of these because I liked it so much.

    Rifle Scopes Rem 700 Long Action 2pc of 1pc 20MOA base?

    Personally, I'd go with a Badger 1pc. I personally find that the scope knobs are more likely to get in my way than the rail.

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms 4x14 ffp mildot

    I put one on a CZ455PT, then turned around after the first range session and actually replaced the fixed 10x SWFA SS (cheap version) with one the next day. I've been pushing them as the best of the bunch in that price range ever since. I've not personally seen anything under $400 that can beat it.

    Info Request: .22LR Barrel Length for CCI Mini-Mag (Also what exactly is a CCI Mini-Mag?)

    I understand that there will always be shit exiting the barrel in addition to the bullet - that is a given. Eventually as you cut back on barrel length you will run into a point where the barrel is shorter than the cartridge's designed burn length. If you're real close to the cutoff, say with a...

    Info Request: .22LR Barrel Length for CCI Mini-Mag (Also what exactly is a CCI Mini-Mag?)

    Loaded hot, but not Stinger hot. I think I got it. Manufacturer unknown quantity testing conditions for marketing BS - Got it. Believe me, I effing HATE seeing FPS numbers without a test fixture specification of any sort listed. I sorely miss the days of "Here is my data. Buy my shit because...

    Info Request: .22LR Barrel Length for CCI Mini-Mag (Also what exactly is a CCI Mini-Mag?)

    I've done quite a bit of searching between here, Rimfire Central and some other locations. Unfortunately some of these forums have undergone some software changes over the years and "OMG CHECK OUT THE DATA IN THIS POST!" links generally leads to the front page of said forums due to being...

    CZ455 Modification Thread

    I personally needed Badger Ordnance High rings with my CZ455PT and DIP 20MOA rail. Comb height is REAL tall.

    Suppressors Gemtech Quicksand for precision rifle?

    Wee bit of a necropost here - I have a bit of time with a Quicksand and noticed an average REDUCTION of group sizes on a small sample of 2 rifles by an average of .1MOA with both of the loadings that were used. 16" AR-10 platform rifle: .8MOA to .7MOA and .7MOA to .6MOA 20" R700 (both) .7MOA to...

    22 optic choice

    Quoted from another thread. I see you already went with the fixed 16x but this might be something to look into in the future.

    Rifle Scopes Correct ring tightening sequence help

    13 Scope 24 Would probably be just fine, and honestly I'm not 100% sure if I don't sometimes do 14 Scope 32 I did however forget the most important part - I start by putting the rings on the rifle (in all of my cases some sort of 1913 rail and Badger Ordnance rings) I oil all of the...

    Rifle Scopes Correct ring tightening sequence help

    5 1 3 Scope 4 2 6 I use the same cross/star pattern I'd use on a 6 bolt vehicle wheel. Since scope rings require (in my opinion) a little more care, I usually set the gap even then get screw #2 just barely touching the ring - I then tighten the pattern starting with 1 to 'finger tight', then...

    Rifle Scopes Another which scope thread?

    I've owned a grand total of 2 bottom end SWFA 10x scopes and both of them were... less than optimal for me. I learned of PA through searching for a T1 knock-off for my M&P 15-22 (the sight and the rifle are going strong on 2 batteries and >3000 rounds.) I couldn't argue with the price or the...
