    Question about change in MOA for new rifle ...

    Hi All - I was wondering if I could get some advice please ? I have pretty much a brand new AX308 which has about 200-400 rounds through the barrel (last 200 without any cleaning) At Bisley in the UK, there's a range called the zero range which is set to a special distance (can't remember the...

    Anyone have any experience with Sunagor binos ?

    Hi - Was wondering whether anyone had any experience with Sunagor binoculars please ? Have been doing further research on reasonably priced high magnification spotting scope/binoculars, and see that Sunagors definitely do the high magnification side of things with some of their binos going up...

    Rifle Scopes Talk me OUT of buying a Nightforce F1 Mil-Spec!!

    Re: Talk me OUT of buying a Nightforce F1 Mil-Spec!! Glen - I hear what you're saying ... the bad side about my approach is that it gets expensive awful quick ! My typical approach of researching something I'm not familiar with, is to first look at the best in the range of whatever I'm...

    Rifle Scopes Talk me OUT of buying a Nightforce F1 Mil-Spec!!

    Re: Talk me OUT of buying a Nightforce F1 Mil-Spec!! I got a Nightforce NXS 12-42 and I wouldn't be without it - it's brilliant. If they ever release a 1FP version of this scope with the same magnification I'm getting it - the only thing that put me out of getting the F1 was the relatively...

    Rifle Scopes Zoom levels on 2FP scopes affecting reticle ......

    Hi folks - was wondering if I could get some info please. I know with 2nd focal plane scopes, the reticle measurements are only accurate at one zoom power (e.g. 22x power on Nightforce NXS 12-42), however it makes sense for the reticle measurements to either double or half their intended...

    scope magnification

    Re: scope magnification np - glad to help ! I've been trained to shoot in yards rather than meters, so for me MOA is the way to go rather than mildot - just makes things easier than having to convert any numbers when shooting. If you do shoot MOA, then just to whet your appetite, S&B have...

    scope magnification

    Re: scope magnification Unfortunately it's a very personal thing and depends what your eyesight and confidence levels are like - as I have an eye condition called nystagmus, any issues that you get with higher magnification such as effects of mirage being magnified (no pun intended), or...

    What's a good shooting mat?

    sunglasses what do you

    Re: sunglasses what do you I've been lucky enough to try Oakley, Ray-Bans and Maui Jims ... For me, Maui Jims are hands down the best pair of sunglasses money can buy - the clarity that you get from them is absolutely amazing - and the UV filter definitely works - after wearing them for a...

    Nightforce scope cover for low clearance rail ?

    Re: Nightforce scope cover for low clearance rail ? Thanks for replying 1911GunNut - Unfortunately Nightforce only do 2 unimounts - I got the higher of the two at 1.375" ... Being a new shooter, this might be a stupid question but if I get a taller mount, but still with 20MOA built in, would...
