    Rifle Scopes Opinions on scopes welcome

    If all your distances are known, the ATACR would be a great choice. Great glass that gives a bright picture. Perefct solid turrets. Its a nice weight to go without hauling 3 pounds of optic around. Trevor B.

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 2.5-10 FFP or SWFA SS 3-15

    I've had a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP for just over a year (I got one of the first ones) and it makes me happy. The SWFA would have to be exceptional to exceed the Vortex, and if equals, the Vortex warranty and customer service experience would tip the scales...

    Rifle Scopes Any expirence with Nikon Prostaff 5 4.5-18x40?

    Used that exact scope on a shoot at the protac range in Mingus, TX last year on a TC 300 win. Shot from 100 out to 500 yards on gongs and silouettes. At 500 yards with the BDC reticle I was calling and hitting a steel deer silouette; Left antler-hit, right antler-hit, nose-hit, etc. At 500...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 1x6 lack of FFP an issue?

    The Leupold Mark 6 1-6x is wat we had talked quite a bit about and he started using and practicing with. We spoke about this at SHOT this past year. Bushnell also has a 1-6.5X in FFP in their elite tactical line. Trevor B.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 1x6 lack of FFP an issue?

    Those are two shooters and their choices. Check out what Daniel Horner is going to... he likes FFP now. Ive hung out with him and heard directly from his mouth that he prefers 1-6x FFP scopes. Also swear by JP uppers. Not everone uses JP uppers, but he wins a lot with them It all boils down...

    Rifle Scopes nightforce direct mount ??

    Rob summed it up well. the 1 piece designs work great, but depending on your exact setup, can be limiting. A nice quality rail and rings work just as well. 6 on one hand, half dozen on teh other...your choice. Trevor B.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 1x6 lack of FFP an issue?

    Depends what youre using it for. If 3 gun, a 1-6x FFP is the only way I would go. Sure, at 1x the reticle is small....like a dot...but thst a good thing. Its a easy point blank dot reticle to put on your target. Its almost like having a red dot as your primary at that point. Then switching...

    Rifle Scopes two vortex ffp viper pst's or one nf atacr with quick detach

    ^^^ this first. decide what you need or want. After that, youre already looking at some high quality stuff, ie the ATACR. So, chances are you will eventually upgrade to two higher quality scopes Chris is right with the different heights. You could use an AR height mount on your ar10 and...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x question...

    That sounds like its in the range. May want to run your load through some ballistics calculators. Changing your zero can help a little in getting you a little more travel if its within your acceptable range for a zero. Has less effect on a hunting setup with a kill box than on a target rifle...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x question...

    Might be the mounts and could just be the zero on your cartridge. Someone may want to double check my math. That scope should have just under 27 Mils of travel. If your zero is at the factory zero that would leave 13 (+ish) mils of travel up and down. 20 MOA base adds -5.8 mils. That would...

    Rifle Scopes Help with Optics Savage LRP

    With that budget, there are quite a few FFP scopes, and though I grew up using SFP, I'm going more to FFP. Question, if you don't or will not know ranges, go FFP. If you will always have a rangefinder with you, SFP will be OK. Both still have their place. That being said, I have that scope...

    17 WSM anybody tried it?

    Volquartsen rolled out a few different autoloaders in the 17 WSM. They 'claim' 3/8'' accuracy. Just saw them at SHOT. Looking better for the cartridge, but not so much for the BMAG. Trevor B.
