    Rifle Scopes Priorities! What should I do?

    I don't know much about optical history, but consider the role of a spotting scope when rifle scopes were largely fixed at 10x and less. pretty important. fast forward to now where you can get high quality resolution and variable power with an upper end of 25x on a tactical type scope and...

    Rifle Scopes Priorities! What should I do?

    Do you already have a quality rifle scope? If no, I'd sell the spotting scope to fund one. What I wouldn't want to see you do is have a higher quality spotting scope than rifle scope, not because spotting scopes aren't important, but the entire interface for your rifle is that rifle scope. Get a...

    Bell/Carlson,Tactical medalist...Any Input???

    I personally didn't love the B&C's. I thought they were unduly heavy, the couple my buds have are kinda glossy, and didn't really love how squared off the fore end was. BUT all that is just personal preference type stuff. fully adjustable + aluminum block = win. and lots of other folks like...

    Rifle Scopes USO or Premier

    And I think that's why you see so many people debating which scope is best and the debate always comes down to glass quality. basically every other feature of a quality scope is up to personal preference to a point, so you can't really say one is definitively better than another. but everyone...

    Rifle Scopes USO or Premier

    I'd recommend you do that friend! especially if you could do it side by side. I think similarly (easily spent 4 times this money on a truck with much less thought!) and I'd always wonder if I never got to take a look at the other one. looking at them together may get you right off the fence...

    Rifle Scopes USO or Premier

    someone will probably try to light me on fire for this, but glass quality isn't everything. I'm not saying it isn't hugely important, or that USO is worse than Premier or anything else, I'm just saying don't forget about all the other things youll have to work with on the scope. take glass...

    Rifle Scopes USO or Premier

    holy cow talk about being between a pillow and a soft place! awesome to be choosing between those. its been said, but you can't go wrong. I went with USO because of the customization options, got an erek knob, color, internal bubble level, etc. if I can snap any pics of something for you let me...

    308 using 208 gr A-Max

    I appreciate that info. That velocity makes for a tough decision! thats about supersonic out to 1k at sea level, JBM says a drop of something like 48.7moa. my 178's right now start 500fps faster than that and end up only 50fps, dropping 37.3moa. and I'd likely be a bit faster with the 208's out...

    308 using 208 gr A-Max

    let me know how this goes man, I've been tempted by those 208's. Im worried that I won't have enough case capacity to get enough powder and push them fast enough. that said, my 178's move at nearly 2700, so I can afford to lose some velocity for BC. good luck!

    Gunsmithing Just snapped TWO Pacific Machine Company SAKO extractors

    well at least the rifle is a shooter! thats good news! but hey, now you know that the issue is in the extractor, sorry to hear about the troubles but at least it isn't something more serious. I'm interested to hear what Pacific says.

    Rifle Scopes Daughter Cait needs scope advice.

    In fclass, you know the distance, you know the target size and you should know the size of markings on the target. I think that eliminates the benefits of nearly any kind of graduation on the reticle. Youll have time to dial wind, you'll have spotters and previous shots to help you gauge that...

    From 700p to 700 custom

    hehehe, well, when his first group was pretty bad, I was ready to blame it on the fact that most dogs don't use guns. or the no fingers thing. but come to think of it, its probably the scope caps down! back to the range with him! and thanks! I'm happy with the color combo as well, blends pretty...
