Minimum zoom unless using the magnification to ID a likely target, or searching an area where your eyes have picked up an indicator... shape, shine, shadow, contrast, color, silhouette, texture, spacing, movement... you get the...

    Hard build decision

    Re: Hard build decision Thanks for all the opinions guys. At work we typically get 1800-3000 rounds out of a 338 lapua magnum barrel. Is this similar to what I would expect to get out of the 300wm firing 208-230gr bullets loaded in the 2800-2900fps range? I can live with a barrel change...

    Rifle Scopes Deployment glass

    Re: Deployment glass Thanks for the input. I did end up deciding to go with a Schmidt and Bender. It will be going on a gas gun. Regarding the remark about durability, none of the glass I listed is questionable as far as it's ability to take a beating is concerned. So one being more durable...

    Hey guys, I'm deploying and am equipping myself. In my military background, I have used a Schmidt and Bender PM II LP and a Unertle 10x. I have never had any issues with the SB, but am wanting to hear from those who have used other glass as well such as Nightforce and Premier. Am I good to...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile?

    Re: Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile? I dont contribute here much, I mostly lurk, because frankly, there are a lot of very well informed people on this board. I do a good amount of shooting in between the 1000-2000m range (2-5 thousand rounds a year)and for all intents and purposes I...
