    Rifle Scopes Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope

    Re: Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope Yeah Grump, I have also thought how great it would be to be to have an adjustable reticle where you could precisely zero each stadia line at the corresponding distance. Hmm, an etched reticle that can be angled inside the tube is a very...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope

    Re: Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope Well I've looked at the Burris XTR before, but didn't like it because the stadia lines are not scaled to range targets like the ACOG. It does have the illuminated short-range aiming point though. Now Valdada's CQB-BDC reticle looks...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope

    Re: Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope The Nightforce Velocity reticle doesn't have any markings to range a man-sized target at each hold-over point, which is the main feature of the ACOG that I want. I don't want to have to measure targets with the MOA lines and then do...

    DMR Pics

    Re: DMR Pics I suppose this fits the bill: Springfield M1A, all GI parts, Vltor Modstock, TA-55A ACOG 5.5x

    Recommened SA M1A?

    Re: Recommened SA M1A? The more accurate ones are going to be the Super match and the M-21, followed by the National Match and the Loaded, then the Standard and Scout. Actually the Scout may be a little more accurate than the Standard within its effective range, as the shorter barrel might...

    Best economy priced A2 upper (AR-15 platform)

    Re: Best economy priced A2 upper (AR-15 platform) Without a doubt I would say the answer is Palmetto State Armory. Check out their uppers here: http://www.palmettostatearmory.com/ar-complete-uppers.php Check out the 20" ones. They are very reasonably priced, and have all the...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for ACOG-type reticle in a tube-body scope

    Hi fellas. Here's the deal -- I have a TA-55A ACOG that I love as a battle rifle optic. However, my current battle rifle is an M1A. Even with the lowest scope mount available, the ACOG sits very high on that rifle, as it is intended to mount on a flat-top AR. I have an adjustable cheek rest...

    Question about AK-47

    Re: Question about AK-47 I have had plenty of Century AKs over the years, and haven't had any problems with them. Well my first one back in 2000 or so had trigger slap, but that was the fault of the crappy American made trigger, not anything the Cugir arsenal or Century did. I have heard...

    best 2 stage AR10 Trigger?

    Re: best 2 stage AR10 Trigger? I know that at Gunsite, for their carbine and battle rifle classes, they tell everyone who has an Armalite or RRA 2-stage to take it out and put the factory trigger back in before the course. This is because apparently none of the factory 2-stage triggers have...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 2.5-10x40?

    Re: Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 As to the comments about this being a combination milling/bdc reticle, making it too cluttered: the only mil lines in that reticle are on the horizontal and the top vertical crosshair. The bottom vertical crosshar doesn't have any mil measurements... it...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 2.5-10x40?

    Re: Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 redmanss, you're telling me it's quicker to let go of your rifle, lase the target, then re-acquire sight picture, figure out the sight correction, and then either hold off or dial down than it is to just pick which stadia line is closest to the width of...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 2.5-10x40?

    Re: Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 DP425, have you ever used an ACOG? If so, did you also find a mil dot scope to be "quicker, cleaner and easier" to get hits on man-sized targets with a battle rifle like you say about this one? Because I have used both, and find the opposite to be true...

    Re: Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 Nothing yet? Must not be too many out there who have had a chance to try one of these out. I have a couple more questions -- for those who have experience with their products, how would you rank Pride-Fowler quality-wise with some of the other...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Pride-Fowler RR-900 2.5-10x40?

    Howdy. I'm looking for a good battle rifle optic for a 7.62x51. I currently have a TA-55A ACOG (the 5.5x one) and love it, but don't love how high it sits on my M1A. The main thing I like about the ACOG is the ranging/BDC reticle that simultaneously ranges a man-sized target, and gives you an...

    Rifle Scopes Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Camputer M-1000

    Howdy! I am considering getting a Leatherwood Camputer M-1000 2.5-10x44 for a Savage 111 .300 Win Mag, and I thought I would check and see if any of yall have any experience with this scope. I would like to use it for a sniper role. I would like an optic that allows for very quick ranging and...

    new to m1a

    Re: new to m1a I would say get a GI web sling (M-1 and M-14 issue) and learn how to use it as a marksmanship aid. That helps a lot when trying to shoot the rifle to it's fullest potential. The best money you could spend on it is to buy a GI web sling, at least 1 extra mag, and a couple...

    M1A/M14/EBR Rifle discussion W/O DRAMA.

    Re: M1A/M14/EBR Rifle discussion W/O DRAMA. OK, I got the Vltor Modstock and got some weight figures... I weighed my Standard M1A in it, and it is 9.4 lbs. unloaded with no mag, with my ARMS #18 scope mount attached. Interestingly, this rifle is 8.6 lbs. with the Springfield plastic stock on...
