    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    On of the issues I have always liked about S&B is they have been around for a long time. A bunch of competitors, while driving innovation, are a bit more of leap of faith that they will be around in a decade. My service life for this high end optics is 10+ years (I'm still using a Premier...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    Carbonbased, don't forget they also have the 0.05mrad turret, which I believe they call MT II... this thing has something like 39.5mrad of elevation, spaced out in 0.05mrad instead of 0.1mrad. Not sure who needs 0.05mrad clicks, but maybe at the ranges associated with 39.5mrad, 0.05 is a 'big...

    AR15 Irons for 100yd Match

    Love concept of this match! Get yourself a M1917 Enfiled and Go Sgt York on their targets!!! Remember, we (the US) fought and won at least 4 major wars with only irons at moving targets well past 100yds...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7 - 35 X 56, new hotness in hand

    [drooling] yes, interested in that comp sheet too. Got email from Eurooptics yesterday on their S&B lineup and was looking at that new 6-36x. $4k-ish, if I remember Eurooptics pages correctly.

    PVA 212 Seneca

    man, I wish I had time to play with this stuff again. Please keep us update on your testing and results, as I'm enjoying reading the updates. Would love to get back to WY and/or MT with a good pile of these solids.

    My kids 1st grade teacher.

    Which one is your kid's teacher? If its the dude thinking he is a women, I would request a new teacher. If its the woman next to him, I would live and let live, but keep eye on the situation. 1st grade is very important for young kids and their personal development.

    New England vacation

    New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford - must see cities. Super safe - don't need to lock your car. Lots of really nice folks - just hanging out on their door steps. And some beautiful 'street art' to take in - bring your own spray paint to create your own. You could spend a week in each city...

    Anyone using the older Vectronix PLRF-10 or 15?

    yeah, have one and its been rock solid for more than 10 years of hard use in the field. GTG. No quirks that I have encountered. I change the battery every once and a while and don't travel w/o a spare. I clean its lens every once and a while. That is the only 'issues' I have had. Ranges in...

    One of my favorite places

    Here is the Oklahoma I'm interested in seeing -- SSN802, first of the Block V Virginia-class. She is going to be a US-interest protector with her back stuff full of Tomahawks 1000+ nm cruise missiles. Bad guys, don't get her mad... SSN802 is currently under construction in Newport News due...

    Barrel chhoice.

    Howard, a bunch of the above posts, while good advice, will cost you a lot of money and by themselves will not get you a whole lot closer to 1 mile. A Bartlein vs a Krieger vs a Rock Creek barrel really ain't much of a factor in your current situation. 6.5 PRC vs 7 SAUM vs 300 Win Mag vs...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII 5-25x56 Model?

    yeah, this thing is old and has no real value in today's modern precision optics market. Because I'm a nice guy, I will take it off your hands for $25, if you can ship it to me at your expense and insured for $2500 ;)

    Optics Brand New Zero Compromise 8-40 MPCT3x and MPCT2 Reticles - Update 5/20/24

    Non Lead Ammo push, could it threaten shooting sports as we know it?

    DU is very very mildly radioactive. Radiation from it does not present any significant health concerns, let alone killing from its radiation. Even after hitting something, it is not a significantly radioactive material. DU is nearly all U238, which will alpha decay with a half life of 4.5e9...

    Tried to make a difference n Chicago.

    Per that article, it took 30 minutes for another officer to response to this downed officer, and an unknown additional amount of time before EMS arrived and she was transported to hospital! MASSIVE FAIL and unacceptable in a city like Chicago which should be filled with cops, EMTs and hospitals...

    Tangent Theta 735P Pricing and PreOrder

    good, useful comments thanks. What a time to be watching this... the new TT's, the new ZCO, and that new S&B, and probably others that I don't know about ... competition does great things for innovation (although prices are crazy high).

    Tangent Theta 735P Pricing and PreOrder

    Interesting. How did it compare at 27x? I'm very curious to hear if these 7-35x's outperform the 5-25x's at magnifications like 17-22x?

    SOLD Premier Heritage Tactical 5-25 Gen2 XR

    Not sure how many years now, but I have been rocking my Premier 5-25x for better part of decade I'm sure. Great optic, got everything I need and it peers into the shadowy depths of most tree lines with the best of them. Good luck with your sale of this venerable scope.

    Info/knowledge needed.

    What is your ammo situation? I know you aren't a reloader, so what factory load are you using? Give us some stats on this so we can comment a bit on the ballistics involved. Also what is the density altitude and typical wind patterns at your intended firing spot? Do you have a nice dusty...

    Cool Weapons Thread

    USS Maine, SSBN-741, in a rare photo op, coming into Guam a few days ago. She is carrying a cool 70 megatons of TNT equivalent on board. Is 70 megatons a lot? Well, the total TNT equivalent exploded in WW2 was under 5 megatons, so 70 megatons is kind of a lot. She can deploy that 70 megatons...

    Objective lenses larger than 56mm

    Great questions and analysis Glassaholic. To your questions 8-40x56 vs 8-40x72mm+$1000: I would probably go w/ the 72mm, pay the extra dough and carry the extra weight/profile. Like you, I pay extra for a 56mm over a 50mm. I have seen the difference in field performance of those two...
