    Rifle Scopes Can you increase the power of a scope?

    Re: Can you increase the power of a scope? I don't know if anyone makes them any more, but there used to be a company that made "Boosters" for the old 7/8" Weaver scopes. I can't remember now whether the scope had to be modded to use them or not. Anyway they came in several different powers...

    Practical Magazine cap for AR-10s?

    Re: Practical Magazine cap for AR-10s? I have a 16" AR-10t, tried the 25, 20, and 15 round mags. I only use the 15 round ones, and will eventually trade off the last 2 25s for additional 15 round mags. The higher cap mags were just too long, and too heavy for what I use my rifle for.

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide between NF/IOR

    Re: Help me decide between NF/IOR Alright, I did not know that the NP-R1 ret., and .25MOA turrets matched up, thanks for that! I am aware that I could get alot more, however, personal economics come in to play, and I simply cannot justify all the options at this time. NF has 100 MOA elev...
