    Rifle Scopes Any new scopes from March at the shot show?

    3-24x52 with high master glass, improved parallax, and improved eye relief (even if this adds 2-3 oz and 1-2" in length) would be a game changer.

    Rifle Scopes What is the benefit of an "ultra short" scope

    I understand and appreciate that the ultrashort models represent the latest and greatest from certain manufacturers. For example, I would prefer the S&B Ultrashort 3-20 over the pmii in large part because I have heard the turrets are a big improvement and they cut DOWN on weight. And I see the...

    Rifle Scopes What is the benefit of an "ultra short" scope

    I have to decide on a scope for my new GAP 6.5 SAUM. I have noticed that a good number of "ultra short" scopes being released on the market are as heavy, or heavier, than similar full-length scopes. And based on my (very limited) understanding of how scopes work, it seems ultra short models...

    Rifle Scopes 2018 - Year of the Ultra Shorts

    Hope either the ZCO 4-20x50 or Kahles 318i ends up being available to the public below the $3k mark, assuming field reports suggest they make the top tier along with S&B US 3-20. Love more scopes with a 3 or 4 bottom end for hunting applications with wide field of view. Praying someone steps...

    6.5 GAP 4S - Hornady v. Redding Dies with regards to neck sizing

    Very helpful. Thank you. So after using a FL die, then neck turning, I would then use a bushing die to achieve the desired neck tension?

    6.5 GAP 4S - Hornady v. Redding Dies with regards to neck sizing

    GA Precision is building me a 6.5 RSAUM rifle and I am trying to decide if I need both bushing and nonbushing dies to properly neck turn cases. 6.5 GAP 4S (SAUM) Comp Die set with bushings (either .289 or .291 bushings) OR Hornady 6.5 GAP 4S Custom Die Set w/ Micrometer Stem (non bushing) I...

    Rifle Scopes What scopes are you hoping for at Shot Show 2018?

    Nightforce ATACR 3-18 or even better 3-20. 4-16 is weak. Or March 2.5-25x52 with fixed parrallax adjustment and a little more forgiving eyebox (even if that adds an ounce or two). Swarovski z8i using turrets that aren't limited to a single turn. More reticles with only an illuminated red...

    Rifle Scopes March 2.5-25x52 "Eyebox" Issues - resolved with larger objective?

    I have to pick a rifle scope for my new build, and likely won't be able to look through whatever I select in person before I go ahead with it. Man, it is tough to wander through the internet without getting pumped by good reviews and scared by the bad ones. Very tough to make a comfortable...

    Proof Research - Bull vs. Sendero Contours

    Huh. I'll have to call Proof again. One of their reps told me that I couldn't get the "Sendero for .338 Calibers and Larger (1.25" breach) chambered in 6.5mm. I think he said they used to, but can't anymore. Maybe if I but them a little bit they will agree to do it, I'm sure they have the...

    Proof Research - Bull vs. Sendero Contours

    Thanks to feedback on previous posts, decided I'm going with a Proof Research CF barrel for my GAP build. I'm really interested in the Bull Contour barrel. It's only 10 ounces heavier than the Sendero contour (63oz vs 53oz in 26" .264). And it is still over a full pound lighter than the...

    GAP Build - Tough Choices - Bartlein #GAP 5 Sendero Contour vs Proof Research CF Sendero

    Yeah. I love that weight, but I was shooting a friend's rifle with the similar barrel contour and was really frustrated how long I had to wait between shots when practicing at the range. I know you're supposed to build a rifle towards one purpose (i.e. bench or hunting), but I'd really like a...

    Thanks. Everyone who shoots the proof barrels seem to love em, and dropping a pound and a half sounds great

    GAP Build - Tough Choices - Bartlein #GAP 5 Sendero Contour vs Proof Research CF Sendero

    Finalizing the details of my new build and trying to choose between barrels. This will be a hunting rig, but I want a heavier contour barrel so that I can shoot at the range and improve my skill level. Not trying to make benchrest gun or hybrid, just trying to make a hunting rig that I can...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24x42/52 FFP FMA-1 ILL Ret. / 2-25x42/52 MTR3 ILL Ret. - Personal experience?

    Quick question about the Zero Stop feature on the tactical dials. I read on the March website (or one of its distributor's websites) that the zero hold function is only designed to work in some portion of the elevation range. It suggested a 20 MOA rail. Can anyone explain this?

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24x42/52 FFP FMA-1 ILL Ret. / 2-25x42/52 MTR3 ILL Ret. - Personal experience?

    How does the size of the objective depend on the time spent at high magnification. Do the higher magnifications result in reduced light transmission?

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24x42/52 FFP FMA-1 ILL Ret. / 2-25x42/52 MTR3 ILL Ret. - Personal experience?

    Hey everybody, Many thanks to all for the guidance in my previous post to help pick out a specific scope. I have narrowed it down to the four below. Does anybody have any experience with these specific scopes and reticles? Specifically, I know some people have complained that certain...

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Help for GA Precision Rifle - March vs. Swarovski vs. Leupold

    First of all, many thanks to all the feedback. This is all exactly what I am looking for. The deciding factor for me is the mag range and the glass in the March scopes. Now I just have to choose which March scope to get; FFP vs SFP, if SFP I have to choose a reticle, and 42mm vs 52mm...

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Help for GA Precision Rifle - March vs. Swarovski vs. Leupold

    The March Rep said they don't offer custom knobs for their scopes. And the few online companies that offer custom ballistic knobs said they didn't make them for March either. Any idea where I could get these custom knobs?

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Help for GA Precision Rifle - March vs. Swarovski vs. Leupold

    Stinger, have you looked into the March 2.5-25x42 scopes? There is not a ton out there, but I need to do more research. Only 20-24 oz and a great magnification range. Just a little tough to get solid information on.

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Help for GA Precision Rifle - March vs. Swarovski vs. Leupold

    I was leaning against the NightForce ATACR 4-16x50 for a couple reasons. First, the magnification range is constricted. I really like. 2.5 or 3 on the bottom end for reaction type shooting and looking around with a wide field of view. And I'd take 18x over 16x for really long range. Second, it's...
