    Rifle Scopes Help me make a decision. Opinions wanted.

    I believe the non illuminated SWFA would fit the bill too. Agreed the HDMR and SWFA's are the only two significant upgrades. However, they are much heavier too. I have/had all three scopes in question so I know.

    Rifle Scopes Carbon Fiber Scope Mount

    Looks intriguing but wouldn't the screws on that thing strip the rings? Plus, that thing doesn't even come with a base. I'd have to spend even more $$ on top of that to get the freaking base. And wouldn't these things become brittle in cold weather where you'd be afraid to drop your rifle? I...

    Rifle Scopes March 1-10

    Yup, I've been running mine for a year and a half now. I like it. It is small, tough, light, and that 10x range is just plain awesome. It sits on my AR and lets me dial down to 1x for short range and 10x to go long. Plus, it has 200 MOA of elevation adjustments which means if I transfer it...

    Rifle Scopes Help with Scope for my Kidd 10/22 Build

    The best 22LR scope ever is the March 1-10x24 Tactical Illuminated. Tactical 1-10 x 24 The March scopes has the closest near focus of 10 yards at max mag. The 1-10 also has the most elevation adjustments of any scope out there with 200 MOA of elevation range plus zero stop. This allows...

    Rifle Scopes Why, technically, does optical clarity breakdown with Magnification?

    There are several reasons. 1. When light passes through glass, it breaks up into many different colors. Scopes compensate for this by using either more glass at the objective (doublet or triplet) or using high index glass (think HD glass or Flourite) to bring the colors back together. These...

    Suppressors Templar Tactical Wait Time?

    .300 win mag bullet tips on inexpensive ammo

    My soft point lead tip bullets usually shoot just fine out to 400 yards. It is only when I go past 400 that the more uniform tips of the match bullets really take over. However, lead tips are designed to take game and it is usually unlikely you would be hunting past 400 yards anyways so they...

    The Ultimate Light Precision AR Project

    Just heard back from AP that their 6.3oz weight is all inclusive including the barrel nut. Man! That makes my build far from "ultimate" in terms of lightness then. Unfortunately I can't just switch it out since the Noveske needs the higher clearance of the PRI Delta. I'm going with the full...

    What redding bushing is everyone using for FC brass and 175smk

    I use .334" as well. Federal Brass is thicker than Winchester Brass (which I use .332") but it is not as thick as RWS. Nowadays I prefer the Lee Collet Neck Sizing Die. The thing about the necks of brass is they get thinner over time as they get fired and trimmed. Thus I found that the...

    Lee hand loader good enough?

    I've used the Lee Hand Press for many years when I lived in a little apartment. The Lee Handpress is probably the most cost effective way to get into reloading and recouping your up front capital investments compared to all the alternatives. I've reloaded ammo from scratch from the trunk of my...

    The Ultimate Light Precision AR Project

    Well, not much to look at right now. Just a completed lower along with the mounted Trijicon Accupoint and Ranger 2 suppressor. Proof Research still has the upper minus the bolt carrier. I emailed PRI regarding the weight of their Carbon Fiber Delta Gen III 9" handguard and they told me it...

    The Ultimate Light Precision AR Project

    Hmmm...those are certainly interesting components that I wasn't even aware existed. I've never heard of the Govnah nor AP Custom until now. Thanks! I'm thinking I'll just get both the low mass and full mass bolt carriers and experiment with it. I have other AR's they go on. Also, I have the...

    Rifle Scopes FFP and Horus Reticle

    The answer is to get a scope with the H38 reticle. The zero on that is higher up so you get more holds. Look at the pics in this thread: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/26602-can-i-get-pic-horus-reticle-22x-25x.html I counted 13 mils at max mag.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I have a custom SAC 17" barrel for my DTA Covert. Running Varget at my accuracy load of 43.5gr and 167 gr Scenars, I get 2530 fps. The nice thing about the short barrel is it doesn't droop much when I attach on the suppressor. I get .1 mil left of shift with suppressor on. I don't have...

    The Ultimate Light Precision AR Project

    I had the idea rattling around in my head for quite a while where I would use all the latest, greatest most high tech materials to build a light AR-15 rifle that would be able to shoot 0.5 MOA groups, handle well, and shoot well suppressed. After Sandy Hook, I decided to turn my aspiration into...

    Mag primers in a non mag cartridge

    Keep in mind, military primers for the 5.56 and 7.62 are all magnum primers. So they work. What I notice is the magnum primer changes my load characteristics so I have to work up a new accuracy load for the magnum primer. Before I learned this, I'm spent many hours puzzling why my rifle would...

    Question on .308 Palma Brass

    Good Evening Board, I recently ordered two boxes of Lapua .308 Palma brass. I figured since I have cases of small rifle primers stockpiled, I might as well get some brass for my .308 that can use it. My question is, have anyone observed any significant changes to either accuracy and/or...
