    Rifle Scopes Need help with BiFocals and Optics setup

    Re: Need help with BiFocals and Optics setup I cannot speak for anyone that's farsighted, but actual Rx shooting glasses have worked for be since before I went bi-focal to the present (I'm nearsighted). The bigger lenses solve the problem along with them being set-up to see from a head-down...

    Rifle Scopes 1-4x for CQB to Mid-Range: Starting from Scratch

    Re: 1-4x for CQB to Mid-Range: Starting from Scratch If you happen to be weak eye dominate, a true 1.0 on the low end will be a major benefit to both-eyes-open shooting. Otherwise add the Leupold 1.25-4 Patrol to your list for something on the budget end. Reticle is on the heavy side, but...

    Light weight extended handguard suggestions?

    Re: Light weight extended handguard suggestions? The Vtac and Troy TRX Extreme rails are some of the lightest out there and a little smaller in diameter as well. I use both; prefer the Troy's by maybe just a little. The "Chart" for rail systems (IIRC, weights includes the nut unless...

    Rifle Scopes Who runs both MOA/MOA & MIL/MIL Scopes

    Re: Who runs both MOA/MOA & MIL/MIL Scopes Both here - I only got into mil in the last year. Anything new will be in mil/mil (math is easier), but I have no plans to get rid of my NF 2.5-10x32 moa/moa (NP-R2), because it works so well for my eyes.

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! It already has a solution button that's good for any one specific range (as opposed to hitting the Chart/Graph button). Wind and angle can be tweaked there as well. You do have to enter the specific range on the screen just prior - maybe...

    SCAR 17 pet load

    Re: SCAR 17 pet load The Hornady 150gr FMJ-BT and TAC is proving to be a decent practice load in my 17S. SD and ES are nothing to write home about, but considerably better than my 7.62 surplus. Brass is Aussie 7.62 41.0 Ramshot TAC CCI #41 Primer COL 2.776 Avg for one 7 shot string: 2,567...

    SCAR 17 optic

    Re: SCAR 17 optic The NF 2.5-10 is working really well for me. And I've not had trouble with the LT-104 QD clamps on the left side. I'm waiting on an ADM Recon mount and plan to give the USO 1.5-6 DPF a try as well. The USO is Mil/Mil and the NF is NP-R2.

    Atlas still the benchmark?

    Re: Atlas still the benchmark? I have the V6 (I think), you pull down on the legs to change positions. Simple and easy, using one hand when on the move. Will I be upgrading or downgrading if I get a V8? Seems like the push buttons would be slower and harder to get to both sides one handed...

    Re: question on mil system calculation Or 800 yds is 80% (.8) of a 1,000. So 1 mil at 800 is .8 Yds; .8*36" = 28.8".
