    Best 308 MOA out of the box for your $$$$$

    Re: Best 308 MOA out of the box for your $$$$$ I have a Savage 10FP Choate Tactical that i've been happy with. You can get it from Cabela's for $649-$699. It shoots better than I do and is enough gun/stock to not have to worry about upgrading right out of the box. You can spend more $ on...

    Rifle Scopes Leatherwood Scopes

    Re: Leatherwood Scopes David Fortier just did a review of the HiLux 2.5-10x44 m-1000 ART in the most current shotgun news Jun 10 2011. In a nutshell he said it was easy to use and in use on the m-21 until 1988. He dunked it in water, froze it, steamed it and it held up with no problems...

    Rifle Scopes New scope

    Re: New scope If the production model is the same as the reviews it should be more than enough. 800yds out of a magzine fed 5.56 is a bit of a stretch though,the magazine is going to keep you from getting a heavier bullet in there.

    Rifle Scopes Do You Use IOR Valdada 16X42 30MM Scope?

    Re: Do You Use IOR Valdada 16X42 30MM Scope? Once you get it can you update this thread with your take away after shooting it? I've been looking at one of these myself to upgrade from my Vortex Viper (not bad, just want something more).

    Rifle Scopes If you were just starting...

    Re: If you were just starting... I was in that situation and got a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50, used for less than $400. You can get a new Viper 6.5-20x44 for around $400. The negatives are the capped turrets, but are a good value otherwise. The SWFA SS 10x42 or 16x42 would be good and might...

    Rifle Scopes IOR question. 3-18x42 vs 6-24x50 why the $ diff?

    I'm going to be buying a new scope and have been looking closely at the IOR line, but am confused about these two models. Why is the 3-18x42 more $ ($1549)than the 6-24x50 ($1459)? They are both SFP and are similar near as I can tell. The 3-18x42 might have a bit more adjustment, but other than...

    Rifle Scopes Painted Optics: Resale Value "Shot"?

    Re: Painted Optics: Resale Value "Shot"? I would never buy one that has been painted unless it was an amazing deal. There are enough used options out there to pick from to not get someone's Mona Lisa. I am probably more concerned with my stuff retaining as much of its value as it can though...

    Rifle Scopes SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy This may have been said already, but is this really going to go back to $1499 when this deal is over? Not that I'm planning on selling, but I try and figure residual value and depreciation into my purchases. And yes I appreciate this opportunity...

    Rifle Scopes Do You Use IOR Valdada 16X42 30MM Scope?

    Re: Do You Use IOR Valdada 16X42 30MM Scope? I have a friend who is on this forum who used to shoot one and thought it was great. Only reason he upgraded was because he got a deal on a USoptics. Poorboyshooter is his name on here, send him a pm he might be able to go into more detail.
