    Bulgling/Failed Brass - S&B Head Stamp - .223

    My experience with S&B brass is it is more brittle. I get pretty lousy life out of my S&B before suffering a split neck. However, your problem is further down. Since the S&B brass you showed weren't reloads, I'm thinking you may have a head space issue with your AR. I love picking up brass...

    Seekins Precision Advanced Tactical Compensator for a .308 bolt rifle?

    I have it for my Keltec RFB. It is like an improved VIAS brake and both do an excellent job of reducing recoil. Main thing to note, the timing nut is for a .750" OD barrel since it was designed for AR type barrel contours. You can choose not to use it if your bolt barrel is thicker but you...

    Rifle Scopes Thinking about selling my glass...

    Well, in that case, the one scope I kind of have my eye on is the new Nightforce Beast with the H59 reticle. I had my eye on the new Hendsoldt 3.5-26 but it looks like the poor customer service, so-so reticle, plus the rather odd tube outer diameter is dissuading me from that option. I had...

    Rifle Scopes Thinking about selling my glass...

    Uhh...you realize you can dial with the Bushy, even with the H58? I have the HDMR on my DTA and when my friends are shooting my gun, I just dial in the dope for them instead of explaining how the reticle works.

    Proof Research?

    I have a whole bunch of Proof Research barreled rifles, probably more than anyone outside of Proof Research. They are very accurate, light and shoot great! (which is why I have a bunch) I had so many built/upgraded because I got tired of sitting around and waiting for my barrels to cool...

    Rifle Scopes 1-8x optics and scar17

    I use my March 1-10x24 for that. Better and cheaper and more mag. It also zero's at the closest range.

    Rifle Scopes AADMOUNT Flip Up Caps Scope Request/Measurement Thread

    I've been thinking about getting one for my Zeiss Victory 72mm. Same OD as the Henny, 3.155". However, how thick will the cover be? I don't have much clearance between the bell and my XLR's chassis handguard.

    Rifle Scopes Best and shortest tactical optic???

    I have the Bushnell HDMR. It is compact but like you said, heavy. I've mounted it to my long barrel AR before and it just made the whole thing way too heavy.

    Rifle Scopes Best and shortest tactical optic???

    +++March The S&B doesn't have much elevation travel (only 17 mil) while the March 3-24 has 28mil (100MOA). Plus the March low of 3x is lower than the S&B short's low of 5x. Meanwhile the Leupold Mk 6 high end (18x) is not as high as the March (24x). Also, the Leupold will cost you an arm and...

    Max magnification for a spotter?

    The rule of thumb is 1x per 1mm of aperture should the conditions allow. I have the Pentax PF100ED spotter with the 100mm of aperture. If the conditions are great (very crisp, clear day with cloud cover to prevent mirage), I can pop in my XW7 eyepiece and get a nice usable 90x out of it...

    BEST Compact spotter

    Then what you are looking for is the Pentax PF65 ED II. This spotter accepts normal 1.25" astronomical eyepieces. You can get 11x out of it by getting the 32mm Televue plossl eyepiece. The image quality of that combo will give you the "pop" of a Hendsoldt or S&B but the greater resolution of...

    Tele Vue 85 Experiences

    Well, here is a link to the binoviewers I use: Siebert Optics - Binoviewers As for the glass of the TMB 92SS, it is better than the Televue's. The TMB 92SS and the Takahasi Sky 90II are the two best refractors money can buy for that aperture. Their Strehl ratio are consistently higher than...

    barrel length for suppressor

    I've found that shorter actually gives me better accuracy. And I get way less POI shift too. My 17" DTA .308 has about 0.5" of POI shift while my 26" Win Mag has 3" on the same titanium suppressor. For my AR, my 24" AR has a more unpredictable 3" down while my 16" AR has a very repeatable...

    What brake for 300 win mag? Badger FTE?

    I see the APA is a 5/8"x24 tpi brake: https://www.americanprecisionarms.com/products-page/muzzlebrakes/little-bastard-brake/ Not sure what your barrel threading is but for that thread pitch, you might as well get the Seekins Muzzle Brake. That one is very suppressor friendly. The APA brake...

    Tele Vue 85 Experiences

    I use a TMB 92SS with a binoviewer for quasi "big eyes" capability. It is cheaper but heavy and I still get the flipped image problem.

    Rifle Scopes What does it mean when shooting at 400 plus yards ?? Set the the dial 6.4

    6.4? Man, whatever bullet he is shooting to 400 yards sure is slow if this is mils. If this is MOA, how does one do a .4 when each click is .25?
