    Rifle Scopes Nikon scopes?

    Re: Nikon scopes? I bought a 3x-9 Nikon Buckmaster for $250 and hit 10" steel out to 1200 yards with it. The target was small but clear as could be. Glass as good as my NF. Has 80moa of elevation. Doesn't really have tactical turrets or zero stop. All Nikon turrets are in moa. The Nikons tend...

    Rifle Scopes 35mm 30MOA

    Re: 35mm 30MOA It depends on how much elevation your scope has AND, how much elevation you need to shoot as far as you want. Usually, you need at least 30moa of up elevation to shoot out to 1000 yards (might need more). So, on a flat base, if your scope has 60moa of elevation, you will have...

    Rifle Scopes Mil/Mil or Moa/Moa for scope?

    Re: Mil/Mil or Moa/Moa for scope? Call Thunder Valley and ask them. Usually, if you have to ask, get mils. Moa has some advantages, but its mostly for those who have "always been using moa". Both work fine.

    Rifle Scopes Scope adjustment chart??

    Re: Scope adjustment chart?? Here is a ballistics table for 1000' in elevation and 50 degrees F for a .308 shooting Sierra Match King 175's. It will probably not be perfect for your rifle but it gets you in the ballpark. YARDS MOA Elevation Adj 100 0 200 2 300 5 400 8.25 500 12 600...

    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA Cant? 30 MOA Cant??

    Re: 20 MOA Cant? 30 MOA Cant?? Lets say you buy a scope with 45moa of total elevation travel. Mounted on a flat (0 moa) base that gives 22.5moa of up (and 22.5 moa of useless down) elevation. Now that is not enough up adjustment to shoot 1000 yards because you need 30moa according to your...

    Rifle Scopes TMR used for different mil values?

    Re: TMR used for different mil values? Yes it will work. Set up a tape measure on a target and find the setting that is double. Mark it in red.

    Re: 3 Very Different Scopes Read this article: http://demigodllc.com/articles/intro-long-range-rifle-scopes/ A tactical scope should have: 1. At least 10x magnification 2. Matching reticle and turret adjustments (moa/moa or mil/mil) 3. Zero stop Mfgs that qualify, in order a price (low to...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for scope for TRG-22

    Re: Looking for scope for TRG-22 I'd stay away from the Nightforce 32 power. It is a benchrest scope. But Nightforce and USO make excellent sniper and hunting scopes. Read this article: http://demigodllc.com/articles/intro-long-range-rifle-scopes/ Best article on understanding long range...

    Rifle Scopes viper pst substitute? with same features?

    Re: viper pst substitute? with same features? A patient gunsmith can make a "poor man's zero stop". Find a scope with 45moa of total elevation. Get a 20moa base. Theoretically you shoiuld have 42moa of up and 3 moa of down. The gunsmith can shave the base a bit to make it close, although if...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle Plane??

    Re: Reticle Plane?? Shooter that do holdovers for elevation, wind or "movers" benefit from first focal plane because the mil marks are the same at all magnifications. The downside is the APPARENT size of the reticle changes. The reticle gets thicker at higher magnifications. Also at the...

    Rifle Scopes References on Gen Purpose Moderate Priced Optics

    Re: References on Gen Purpose Moderate Priced Optics A 3x9 Nikon Buckmaster can be had for $260 and I have shot my 308 out to 1200 yards with it. It has 80 moa of vertical adjustment. Enough to shoot pretty far out. Glass is good, target was clear at 1200 yards. Seemed to track fine.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Question

    Re: Nightforce Question Nightforce has pretty good glass but its not much better than Leupold or even Nikon. If you are expecting radically better glass you will be disappointed. The best glass for the least money is IOR. You are taking a bit of risk because reliability is spotty. But the...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender .25 mil adjustments

    Re: Schmidt and Bender .25 mil adjustments Germans use commas like we use the dot for decimal point. 1 cm means 1 cm per 100 meters which is what a tenth of a mil is. .25cm is 1/4th of 1 cm per 100 meters. So it's a target scope, with fine adjustments four times as fine as one tenth mils...

    Why is MIL better than MOA at long range?

    Re: Why is MIL better than MOA at long range? MOA vs IPHY, when does it really matter? With MOA, you can use 1"/100 yards for group size, the difference is only 5%. No one is within 5% on their group size. At 1000 yards IPHY gives group of 10" and MOA gives group of 10 1/2". Is anyone...
