    Rifle Scopes Scope for SCAR 17S

    Atlas Bipod

    Just a quick "atta boy" for Atlas and B&T Enterprises. I sent mine in for repair due to my own mistake and I received it back within a week and no charge. Service doesn't get any better than what this company provides. Skip

    Rifle Scopes Scope for SCAR 17S

    I alternate between a Leupy 1-6x24 and a March F 3-24x42 on my SCAR 17s depending on what I'm shooting at and it's range. I have both mounted to a Bobro 30mm extended one piece mount. For 600-700 yards, you'll be wanting at least 12x, if not 15x magnification. I usually shoot the March long...

    Rifle Scopes High End Tactical, Part IV: The Heavyweights

    Stop the teasing with new posts without content. Ilya's previous reviews have only cost me a lot of $, so any delay in HighEnd Review 4 will allow my checkbook to catch up. Skip

    Did anyone else jump on the Boyt Double Gun H51 Case at Basspro?

    The Boyt cases are pretty sweet. The latches are fantastic. My case has made two round trip airlines flights, packed to the max with rifles, shotguns, pistols and ammo with absolutely no issues. Skip

    What Lowlight said. I'd add only that the G7 BR2 is MOA, not Mil based. Skip

    Leica 1600 B?

    While the ballistics on the Leica B are based strictly on a choice of pre-configured bullet drops, I wouldn't call them worthless if that's all you've got as they're better than nothing. But even a cheap ballistics app based on BC, scope height, etc., will make the Leica bullet drop formula...

    Spotting Scope for Match Score Keeping need some help. Leupold / Vortex / Other ?

    You might want to look at the 82 mm Meopta Meo Star. While it doesn't have a retcle option, its glass is amazing -- up there with Kowa, it's very reasonably priced. About 2k will get you the scope and a 30-60 wide angle eyepiece or x 20-75 eyepiece. The 30-60 gives me everything I need and...

    lets rate range finders by price

    While price point is important, that factor alone won't tell you anything about a LRF's ranging capability. Unless you're ranging hillsides or buildings, the stated range is about twice that required for smaller non-reflective objects. This thread has no purpose beyond braggadocio mythology. Skip

    Rifle Scopes IOR, March or Nightforce

    I've gotta weigh in with the March F 3-24x42 due to its superior glass, light weight, great turrets and zero stop. The mag range is awesome, but I rarely use more than 18 power unless I'm just playing around. Mine is mounted on a gas piston .308 and have had no issues with the erectors or eye...

    What 308 AR should I get

    Went through the same deliberations a while back. The real issue is what you're using the .308 for. The OP mentioned paper punching and zombie control but didn't mention the range of either. I went with a FNH SCAR 17s. It's extremely light, highly accurate and relatively affordable. I use a...

    Spotting scope expectations

    You may want to look at the Meopta Meostar S2. It's as good or better than the alphas,Leica, Swaro, Kowa. At 82 mm, the objective lets the light in, and the 30-60 eye piece has a wider FOV then anything out there, although you could also go with the 20-70 eyepiece. The scope is at least $1000...

    Rifle Scopes March 1-10

    Can't speak for any potential degradation of the illumination button since I've only had mine for a comple of months. Doesn't seem to be be an issue for March or any other high end manufacturer. Yes, Kelby is the only US Distributor. Skip

    Best long sleeve hot weather shirts

    You'll see west Texas ranchers wear a cotton tee under a cotton denim work shirt all day/week/year long. Why? Cuz it works! Synthetics are a marketing ploy. They may wick fine the first week out, but after that you and they will both stink. Skip

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 Illumination ?

    I have a Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 and a March 3-24x42, both of which are illuminated. The Leupold illumination can be dialed up for daylight conditions or down for dawn or dusk. Neither extremes wash out the target. My March 3-24 has the low illumination option. At its brightest setting it's not...

    Gunworks BR2?

    This is what I felt too until the new Kestrel 4500 was announced for release and that's the route I'll prolly go with the Terrapin range finder. That combo is about $1K more spendy than the G7 BR2 and about $1700 more than the Leica 1600B. The problem with the Leica, in my view, is that its...

    Gunworks BR2?

    The G7 BR2 has been thoroughly reviewed on the Longrangehunting.com's product review forum with about 162 posts. It's pretty nifty, but it's MOA, not mil, you still need a wind gauge, it's divergence beam is fair, not great, its comparatively large, and it's ballistics program still falls short...
