    Rifle Scopes AX AICS Chassis Surgeon Scalpel / NF ATACR/ SPUHR mount help

    It's really easy to figure out. Your Objective lens is 56mm, lets assume its 1mm wider for the actual tube metal. Thus a diameter of 58mm. The radius of that is then 29mm, which converted to inches is 1.14" So, with a totally flat surface, the minimum ring height would be 1.14". (Because ring...

    Bushnell Elite Tactical LMSS 8-40x60mm Spotter on deck!

    It shouldn't be about the coating at all. Coating affects only a couple of things, being resistance to flare, contrast and coloration, and finally resistance to debris/rain. The actual resolution of the image, the optical clarity and transmitted light is ALL about the glass. The Bushnell and...

    Watches?

    I have a Pathfinder. The compass is accurate. The temperature is accurate to within 1 degree or so. The barometer is accurate. The altitude is complete crap. I am using a Brunton ADC Pro as reference.

    .308 match ammo

    I actually see his point. Whats the hourly min wage? About $8 an hour? I spend in total, probably 2 hours per 100 rounds ensuring perfect sizing, trimming, powder measuring and loading, then checking consistency with a runout gage. Thats $16 plus component prices. Right now components are...

    Night Vision Clip on NV Point of Impact change with mounts?

    Thanks for the update Cory, you explained it exactly how I explained it, even down to using the TV example. Another great writeup of how these things work is here: The technology behind clip-on NV sights. - AR15.Com Archive Which if future readers cannot see due to the link going bad, I have...

    Trigger replacement options

    I went ahead and bought a Huber Concepts. It look a little longer than I was promised for delivery but that could be solved by buying from Midway as they have stock, but overall it is the single best Remington 700 replacement trigger I have used. The reasoning behind that for me is due to the...

    Rifle Scopes What's a good scope cant indicator to get?

    I have an accuracy 1st level and it is superb. It is certainly easier to determine the amount of cant induced in the rifle if you NEED to have it canted to take the shot and therefore must calculate for that. A normal bubble level is near impossible when trying to work out the exact degree of...

    Night Vision Clip on NV Point of Impact change with mounts?

    A friend of mine asked me a question which got me thinking. I'd be interested if any of you have personal experience. Assume a zeroed day scope on a 20MOA rail. Now clip an NV device on a straight rail in front, will your scope still be zeroed? Obviously the scope POI wont change as its...

    2.0 skins aics pistol grip vs. viper

    I can't find anyone who has the 'new' AI skins in stock right now so I too am looking at the vipers. Oddly, the Viperskins dont do the same green, which even odder, is an issue for me, so I think I'm going to have to wait until the OD fleck is back in stock. Has anyone bought the Viperskins...

    Question about the AI AE picatinny rail / scope base

    I found the answer to this, but I don't know how to delete posts! Long story short, I was looking for 20MOA bases for the AI AE. Seems like Ken Farrell is the only current answer.

    MagnetoSpeed users, please check my set up

    Interesting as air guns have had this concept (Chrono on barrel) for a very long time. Combro I had one in the late 90s. Despite air rifles putting out a lot of air and disturbance alongside the pellet it works magnificently. I was wondering when they would get around to making a...

    Rifle Scopes Badger rings QC?

    This is interesting to me, I mounted a new scope in badger 30mm rings and will be taking it out this weekend, so I'm going to be very interested to see if I have marks. I torqued using a FAT wrench to spec, so I suppose I will see. I did not lap the rings. I also have a set of 34mm USMC Badger...

    Update on Applied Ballistics Kestrel model and Horus Kestrel

    Are you reading something I didn't write? I asked why specifically, the Kestrel Horus edition and Kestrel Applied ballistics versions differ? The correct answer would be "The AB version can/does incorporate multiple sensors into its calculations and uses Litz's calclations. The Horus version...

    Update on Applied Ballistics Kestrel model and Horus Kestrel

    I dont appear to be, I did some research and I see the AB model is pretty amazing, being able to take into account multiple sensors. However, they do both seem to use the same ballistics models (as per improvements for the AB can also apply to the Horus). I'm be interested as per above if...

    Update on Applied Ballistics Kestrel model and Horus Kestrel

    Can you explain how the standard Horus and the Applied Ballistics models differ? I'm assuming both reference an Horus reticle, but what are the software differences between standard Horus and the accuracy 1st/applied ballistics models?

    AW .308 mags available?

    Are magazines covered by ITAR? Does ITAR even cover 'import' of goods? I happen to know AI in the UK has bunches of them for sale to UK shooters, and if one were so inclined they may be able to order in the UK and then bring them back into the US, thus avoiding shortages here. I'd recommend...

    BT-08 monopod help

    If you have a 'real' AI AICS skin then you need the part you linked above. However, you have viperskins so it is different. If you want to continue to use the skins you have now, you need to shorten the bolt, a dremel will do it but use a good wheel as the bolt is VERY strong. If you want to...
