    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-4X SS

    Re: SWFA 1-4X SS PDD: Good question. In our range session I initially found the "T" reticle to be very busy to my eye on 1x and at the ranges we were shooting (25yds and under). Not that it didn't work, just had to overcome the slight distraction that the reticle design has at 1x. The...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-4X SS

    Re: SWFA 1-4X SS Excellent points, and I have to agree with the preference for the "T" at longer ranges and the "Circle" at the shorter ranges/lower power. Though it seems you can't really go wrong with either reticle I guess that the best way from me to look at it is which reticle is the...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-4 HD Field Test (long w/photos)

    Re: SWFA 1-4 HD Field Test (long w/photos) Observations from about 1 hour of (indoor) range time with the two prototypes: 1) Scopes feel solid, appearance is good, magnification adjustments smooth and fluid, turrents feel solid with tactile and (slightly) audible clicks 2) Bobro mount is...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-4 HD Field Test (long w/photos)

    Re: SWFA 1-4 HD Field Test (long w/photos) Dundee, Thanks for letting me share some time with you at the range, and for the kind words. To say that I was impressed with the optics would be an understatement! I'll post my detailed observations in the next day or two, but again, very...

    Rifle Scopes 1 X 4 Scope recommendation needed

    Re: 1 X 4 Scope recommendation needed In my opinion you owe it to yourself to wait a bit for the SS 1-4 models, or the Vortex 1-4. Both should be out within the next few months I'll bet and look very promising. Got a chance to handle and shoot with both the SS ones and they are very...

    Official State Gun

    Saw this in the paper today: Lawmaker wants to designate a state gun December 7th, 2010 @ 6:00pm By ksl.com SALT LAKE CITY -- Soldiers used it in both World Wars and gun enthusiasts say it has defended American values, but does that mean the Browning 1911 handgun, designed by Ogden native...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-4X SS

    Re: SWFA 1-4X SS Great place out there... you can really stretch it out in some of the spots. Sounds like "two thumbs up" on the scopes, especially the circle reticle!

    Will rounds tumble at 100 yards?

    Re: Will rounds tumble at 100 yards? I'm lucky that my 1:12 VSS 223 will shoot 69gr BTHP into bugholes. Anything heavier is 1 1/2 - 3 inches at 100yds.

    Will rounds tumble at 100 yards?

    Re: Will rounds tumble at 100 yards? In some cases I think you can see tumbling well before 100yds. I have an old CAR-15 upper (1/12" twist I think) that begins keyholing M855 62gr stuff at 25 yds! Freaked me out first time I saw it!

    Rifle Scopes NightForce NXS Accuracy

    Re: NightForce NXS Accuracy Again, don't mistake accurate tracking and target engagement with accurate "ranging". Your scope should track accurately and allow you to engage targets accurately (if you have the fundametals down) at any power. Only if you are trying to "range the target" with...

    Rifle Scopes NightForce NXS Accuracy

    Re: NightForce NXS Accuracy I believe they are referring to scopes that have the reticle in the 2nd focal plane being only accurate FOR RANGING at the highest power. Mine rocks (accurately) from 5.5 - 22!!

    Gun Builder's Accuracy Guarantee?

    Re: Gun Builder's Accuracy Guarantee? Don't know if DTA sends a test target out or not, but I see their guy out at the range every week or so with a metric-buttload of the rifles for test-firing. Some of his background is as a benchrester and he usually lays those rounds right on top of each...
