    20 inch vs 22 inch barrel

    20" vs 22" = 6 vs half dozen For me anyway. Example, I have taken my 20" .308 to 1260 in good conditions. Can't do much more with that cartridge

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell dmr 3.5-21x50 g2 reticule

    Ended up with one of these during a deal I made today based on price. Anybody have some experience with quality and durability? And the biggie for me, how reliable is the tracking?

    Rifle Scopes Popular $800-$1500 scopes, new and used

    The only reason I don't have any night force is because I range from the reticle quote a bit, and haven't wanted to pony up for one of their ffp's yet. Anybody used an HD 10x4swfa ss?

    Rifle Scopes Popular $800-$1500 scopes, new and used

    About to rig out another 6.5 creed I'll be getting back in about two weeks. Had the rifle for a week or two before I sent it off for some modifications, mounted a 2.5-10 ffp mark 4 on it at the time. I'm not especially crazy about leupolds, and never had been. I'm looking for something else...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa matches or military service

    Since you here so much about them being mil spec and in some cases in service, I thought for sure someone from swfa would chime in with some info. Or at least I hoped. Makes me wonder if it's all kinda bs

    Before and After Cleaning

    It's varies greatly in my rifles. I have some that need clean after 20-30, and 3 to get back. Most avg is 100-160 for most of my 600yrd+ stuff. 10(2 five shot groups) to get back to equalibrium.

    Rifle Scopes Turret Range of Adjustment in SS Optics

    I know it is ALOT. Can't remember, but I think I counted mine to like 154 MOA elavation or something close to that. More than most of my $1500+ scopes

    ""Best"" "other" caliber for .308 AT rifle?

    I have had exceptional results both hunting, and on steel out to 1200y with my three 6.5 creedmoors. Amazing little cartridge in my opinion

    Rifle Scopes FFP or SFP question.

    Basically ffp will mean your mils in your reticle are reading true to their size against your target, no matter what power the scope is set on. Sfp scopes reticle a will only read correctly on 1 particular setting. This is not an in depth explanation I know, but I wanted to keep it very simple...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex variable or SWFA fixed??

    I have had great results with the ss scopes, and I never liked having "low end" scopes. I will offer a tip though. 12x will be a bit much in my opinion for the shooting you are describing. More magnification takes away from the clarity until you get into very high end optics. Also, I regularly...

    Rifle Scopes Building Savage 10 FP-SR. Have two scopes on hand. What would you choose for time being?

    I have never used BSA, but actually helped a local shop do some testing on the sidewinders. They gave me two. One 6.5-20x42, and an 8-32x56. I was actually quite impressed. I did not especially like the 8-32 because one, I don't order that high power, and two, it isn't quite high enough quality...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa matches or military service

    Just curious if anyone is shooting competitively with the base model 10x42 ss's. Or if anyone knows for sure any of them actually used in combat. Have searched, but turned up nothing . Thanks in advance

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5-30 vs. Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27

    I agree, and if money were not any issue, we probably would have released to 308win long ago. But money is real

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5-30 vs. Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27

    You misunderstood my comment, it was more in defense of your position, rather than any attack. I often see the "elitists" I was revering to, comment on such posts as if premier, USO, Schmidt, ect. are the only thing worth having . I actually viewed a post with several of those comments just...
