    Rifle Scopes Using the MST-100

    Re: Using the MST-100 <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MtGoat</div><div class="ubbcode-body">For zeroing the scope a set of allen wrenches with the long handles seem to help. I jumped back and forth trying to get the round perfectly centered until...

    Rifle Scopes Using the MST-100

    I've received some PM's regarding zeroing and shooting the MST-100. I can sympathize. It's easily the hardest optic to setup I've ever used. I thought I would try to compile the information like in the "M40a1 Build Guide" in the Rifles section. Most of us can identify this optic, but very...

    Todays Rifles are to Heavy and Bulky

    Re: Todays Rifles are to Heavy and Bulky Am I wrong in assuming that most of us unpack a rifle for a match or a range session shoot it, and then pack it back into our F-150's and Corollas? I've got 2 .308's that weigh more than 14 lbs. I wish they weighed less when people mention...

    Suppressors AWC? Thundertrap? .30 cal thread on suppressor

    Re: AWC? Thundertrap? .30 cal thread on suppressor I haven't seen it mentioned, but the Cyclone is only rated for .308, and not the magnums. I have the Cyclone K model (smaller, lighter, and a couple decibels louder). My POI shift is .2 mils straight down, and it's what I would call hearing...

    Rifle Scopes NF customer service?

    Re: NF customer service? I broke an erector tube spring on a 5.5-22x50 MLR and had it back within a week with a hand written note. You can judge the CS, but I was happy. This was a few years ago.

    Rifle Scopes US Optics Scopes Break alot?

    Re: US Optics Scopes Break alot? Funny USO is the one scope that I haven't broken yet ( I say yet because if you shoot long range at all you'll break scopes). I've broken Leupold, Nightforce, and the reticle on my MST-100 twice. I've owned 2 USO SN3's and they've yet to let me down. I...

    Rifle Scopes How much magnification is enough for 308 to 800?

    Re: How much magnification is enough for 308 to 800? If it helps I was shooting 800 yards today with my M40a1 (with MST 100) and was making hits so it's more than possible, but it felt a whole lot further than when I shoot with my 17x power USO match rifle.

    m40a1 contour

    Re: m40a1 contour The original M40's were built on 40X receivers. The following M40a1's were built on those M40 actions, and then normal 700 actions until they were scrapped in favor of fresh actions for the a3's.

    m40a1 contour

    Re: m40a1 contour From the build guide: I don't know if you'd be interested in this for your thread, but I got it during a conversation I had with Gary Schneider of Schneider barrels, back on 8-17-06 @ 3:30PM, via telcon. I found he was a most pleasant person to talk to and surprisingly...

    .260 Rem Barrel Life?

    Re: .260 Rem Barrel Life? A buddy has a Lawton 260 with 2K down the tube, and it's starting to fall off a little. It's still more than capable of shooting sub MOA at range so I'd expect around 3K before loss of confidence sets in.

    Rifle Scopes Fast Fire, Doctor Optics... type optics?

    I'm building a pretty simple AR (Recce'ish) rifle and have used Eotechs, Aimpoints before, but would like to keep the weight down to a minimum if possible. I like the Aimpoint T1's but the cost is a little high for a fun rifle. Do these smaller optics hold up to weekend warrior use, and what...

    Photos LR Australia

    Re: LR Australia Is that anywhere near Brisbane? I've got a plant there that I won't be able to avoid for too long, and a little shooting might make the trip a lot more enjoyable.

    Suppressors can for 11.5 sbr

    Re: can for 11.5 sbr Slimguns, This is all hearsay so my opinion means nothing, but apparently the added heat and pressure of SBR's and specifically .223's will eat non-specific cans so your Cyclone would suffer the consequences.

    Suppressors can for 11.5 sbr

    Re: can for 11.5 sbr A friend of mine has an M-2000 and I'm surprised at the erosion that has taken place already. You can visually see cracking and wear. The can has only been used on carbine length systems, and for 200 rounds on an 8" barreled pistol (.223). It got me to look at my...
