    LE Sniper Rifle - Department Use

    Re: LE Sniper Rifle - Department Use I still don't see how a sniper with a semi auto would have made a difference in any of those situations. Everyone of those situations should be or was handled by an assault team breaching the building or patrolman with patrol rifles or pistols. <div...

    DPMS LR308 - Build or Sell

    Re: DPMS LR308 - Build or Sell It may shoot well and it may not. I started out with a SASS and was not happy with how it shot. I re-barreled it and it did not shoot any better. I was fed up and ordered a JP PSC12 upper for me. It shoots great but I have way more tied up in that rifle than a...

    LE Sniper Rifle - Department Use

    Re: LE Sniper Rifle - Department Use Maybe it is the way our department deploys our snipers but I don't see the correlation between a sniper set up on a barricade scene and a competition that is geared towards multiple target, at extreme range variations. For military snipers, those...

    Re: Can't decide, first scope, scared to decide!!!! After Lowlight's review, I would save my money for a bit longer and get the Vortex 1-6. He seemed pretty pleased with it.

    Rifle Scopes question about SWFA scope.

    Re: question about SWFA scope. The standard scopes with mil adjustments will be the same. The HD models have much better glass. I have not seen the 3-9 so I can't comment there.

    Rifle Scopes Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs

    Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs If all you are doing is known distance at whatever pace you feel like shooting a mil or moa reticle won't make a difference. You may want to look into bemch rest style scopes instead of tactical scopes. Just dial your come ups for the distance you...

    Rifle Scopes Who is still hanging on to MOA

    Re: Who is still hanging on to MOA I went with MOA because the first higher end scope I purchased only offered the reticle I wanted in MOA. I feel like I could pick up a Mil/Mil scope and be just as effective. The only real preference I have is hash marks over dots.

    Rifle Scopes Scope delima

    Re: Scope delima The IOR is a nice scope. The glass is fantastic. The eye relief is a touch short but still useable. With a 308 I need a 20moa mount to get 1000 yards though. I love th MP-8 reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Scope delima

    Re: Scope delima I fail to see how it is generous. They shipped a sub par product, which happens in all companies. They cannot give an estimate as to when they will be able to replace it so they offered him his money back. That is perfectly reasonable but "very generous"?

    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada 1-10x26 ELiminator DFP scope review

    Re: IOR Valdada 1-10x26 ELiminator DFP scope review The cat tail on the elevation isn't really a cat tail. You zero your scope, set the knob to zero, then set the cat tail to a secondary zero. Works for suppressed/ unsuppressed, or just a second distance you frequently shoot.
