    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    Remove the turret when you're shooting. If you need to make windage adjustments, pinch the internal mechanism tightly and remember the number of clicks. Put the turret back on when you're done shooting.

    Rifle Scopes scope bases

    I've used a variety of brands from EGW up to Ken Farrell and so far haven't seen any that are not straight, prior to installation. (Most if not all required bedding to still be straight after installation.) At the lower price end I've been happy with TPS rails, which are $60 or so, but I will...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 3-15hd

    Prefer a 50mm objective, would consider one with a 44. Take the mil-quad reticle, and if nothing else, make the lines finer within 1 mil of the center, or maybe even do an open center. Would also like Christmas tree dots, like a Vortex EBR-2B or similar. Capped windage knob sounds good. Make...

    Rifle Scopes I'm Looking for Suggestions on a Scope...

    The SS 3-15x has had very good reviews here, although a few people have reported reticle failures. It would be another good pick. But... personally I'd go with the Weaver or Sightron depending on your preferences.

    Rifle Scopes I'm Looking for Suggestions on a Scope...

    I understand wanting to use the Ruger setup, but AFAIK that limits you to 30mm tubes at the largest. For the distances you are interested in I would skip the BDC type reticles and get a decent mil based setup. The Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 EMDR would be a good bet, and probably the best value...

    Rifle Scopes I'm Looking for Suggestions on a Scope...

    First question: are you planning to use the Ruger 1" rings it came with? If not, would you rather buy Ruger-style 30mm rings, or buy a picatinny rail which you would then attach conventional rings to? I like the M77 but I wish they would replace their proprietary scope mount system with short...

    Rifle Scopes Lol knockoff

    Have you seen one of these in person? I don't think the rest of us have, and we're assuming it's total crap based on being an appearance copy of the S&B, and knowing that China has put out a lot of counterfeit scopes that are total junk (just a few years ago it was a big deal with counterfeit...

    Rifle Scopes What the hell to do?

    See if he's using it correctly first. I would also ask him about the condition of the box it arrived in - if the box was severely damaged, I would look into a claim with the shipper (you did buy insurance, right?) Otherwise, I'd offer either to pay his shipping to Bushnell warranty service, OR...

    Rifle Scopes Warranty service?

    Sightron has some nice scopes in the SIII line if F-class or benchrest is your main use. I've owned several, and none of them have had any quality issues.

    Rifle Scopes Lol knockoff

    Awesome. As we all know, quality scopes always come with free Weaver-style rings - a $11.95 value!!!! I like how the deer in the reticle illustration looks like Bambi (the fawn).

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    No, it doesn't look too thick. Nothing wrong with the Trijicon if that seems to be a good fit for your needs.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 20x42 FNG focusing question

    That is the target focus or parallax adjustment That is the ocular focus (reticle focus). Find a place where you can play with the scope without alarming people - if it's off the gun easy, if not, either take it off the gun or go to a range. Set the parallax ring to infinity. Now look up...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    From other discussions on this forum, I don't think the SWFA SS scopes are available outside the USA.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Of your list, the Bushnell DMR is by far the best value. Most of your prices are very high considering the exchange rate, but that one is only a little higher than here. The potential issue with it is the reticle thickness at low magnification. After that, I would take a close look at the IOR...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    If you want to list out any other brands/models that are available and reasonably in the price range, that would let us narrow down the recommendations.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    The G2 reticle is very thin/fine/faint below 6 power or so in that scope. Also, while that scope goes down to 3.5x, it has tunneling below about 4.75x so in terms of usefulness it is more like a 5-21x. On the positive side, it is a much nicer, better made scope than the Vortex PST series...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Veracity

    I have a 2-10x Veracity that I've played around with a little. Let's start with the obvious - the turrets are meant to set your zero and then be left alone, like on most hunting scopes. That's fine for hunting within the limits of the BDC reticle, but would not be a good match for any sort of...
