    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Also, I never said I shoot matches at 1000. Mostly 700m and in. And I did post that my current Rem 700 SPS Tact has a .260 Remington re-barrel in its future. Right now, I'm just learning and shooting... spending a lot of time and money on reloading. But that was the whole point of building a...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 12X vs SWFA 3-15X

    Nice! I got that one from samplelist for $499 in "Demo-A" Condition. Any sources that talk about this?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 12X vs SWFA 3-15X

    I don't know how the 12x compares to the 3-15x42, but I have the SS 10x42 (non HD) and the SS 3-9x42 FFP, and actually my 3-9x42 seems clearer than the fixed ss 10x. YMMV. Note that I do have the side focus 10x, and I actually prefer the SS 3-9x42 on my AR because there isn't a focus...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    I already got a 30-338 lapua in the works dude. How many guys do you see rocking a big gun like that? No one really. I will do my rem 700 SA in 260 some day. But right now, it shoots better than I do. So I will continue to throw 175s down range. But 30-338 is more of a fun project than a...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Yeah, I actually thought about that. But I'm going to see how this Mark 8 looks. I figured if I'm only going to get 1 scope a year, and I'm officially out of the Marine Corps (EOS) on May 2015. I might as well get the big discount on the most expensive scope... I'm using that Mark 8 for a 30-338...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Yeah I went with a mark 8 for another rifle. So im going to hang on to my ss10x for a bit til I can recoup some funds and figure out what's going on my shorty 308.

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Well the icing on the cake is we were all beat by a 14yrold Montana kid in chick jeans! To be honest I think I did the homework for that match and they didn't. I knew my rifle pretty well and knew where the rounds would go. It was just s matter of being in the scope all day and straining my...

    Rifle Scopes AR15 scope ideas

    My vote for your price range is the leupold mark 1.25-4x20. Right around 400 with illumination. Super light. Nice turrets.

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Razor HD is 35oz. Too heavy for my liking. Specially considering a Mark 4 is 21oz. 30oz is my maximum, and it better be well worth the weight if I get something heavy. So far, without seeing any of these scopes in person, I'm still shooting for a Mark 4. Just waiting for NF to get back to me as...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    No numbers just lines. I know that the numbers arent 100%correct but they are a better reference point than lines.

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Yeah that stuff is hard for me to understand. But that's why I'm here. So we have come the the general consensus that the Mark 6 would be a better scope than the mark 4 given that its 400 more, plus 34mm rings, so all that for something that I don't like the turrets. So I'm back to Mark 4. NF...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    So does exit pupil have nothing to do with low light performance? Its my understanding that its the size of the light coming from the ocular lens, but I suppose I never accounted for the fact that every scope gathers light differently than others. I would like illumination, but its not a huge...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Yeah, I gotta stay with mils. I've used them for the past 6 years as a Forward Observer, and now all the guys I shoot with spot in mils. So I'm going to be there. But back to the question at hand... Mark 4 worth it given the options out there? I looked at the Bushnell ERS 3-21, and I like...

    Rifle Scopes Mk4 outdated?

    Well that's the thing... I only want mil/mil FFP. I had a PST 4-16 in mrad and ffp. I wasn't too impressed with it. It seemed to get dark near the 16 power (which is the small exit pupil at 16x) but you couldn't see the reticle too well if you went down to 8x, where the image was real bright. So...

    So I'm a new guy posting here. But long time troller. ;) Quick about me: Former Marine, now I make AR receivers and parts for a living. I have started getting into some Long Range Precision Courses/competitions... My gun: Out of the Box Remington 700 SPS TACT (20" 1/12 heavy barrel) in a...

    What 308 AR should I get

    Hey gents, No-one has brought this up yet, because no-one knows who Anarchy Arms is... But we have an AR10 Upper/lower DPMS-compatible coming soon! I'm really excited, price point is going to be high $500 or low $600, depending on the cost of this next production run. But stay posted. We have...
