    Rifle Scopes Horus vision or NF...

    Re: Horus vision or NF... Minimum mag rule is 1x per 100 yards for tactical style shooting. So in theory, the HDMR can take you to 2100 yards if you have good eyes. But what I've found to be the real determining factor for long range is glass quality at the higher magnification, not...

    Rifle Scopes Horus vision or NF...

    Re: Horus vision or NF... NSX and F1 NSX are different scopes. Apples and oranges. The Bushnell and the F1 are FFP scopes. The other Nightforces are SFP. And a Nightforce F1 with Horus would be even more, close to $3K. You are comparing a FFP Bushnell w/Horus to a SFP Nightforce with...

    Rifle Scopes Horus vision or NF...

    Re: Horus vision or NF... If $1600 is already a lot of money to you, then go for the Bushnell HDMR. The Nightforce F1 will run north of $2000, even used, if you can even find a used one with a Horus reticle at all.

    Rifle Scopes Crap, another scope option

    Re: Crap, another scope option $1999? Dang, I paid too much for mine then. I have the Zeiss 72 and it is practically a spotter on a stick. It ranges at 12x so if hunting is what you want, then the Zeiss is great. You can really see details far out plus have outstanding low light...

    Rifle Scopes Cleaning high end glass....

    Re: Cleaning high end glass.... I have many telescopes so I use the same method: 1. Compressed air to blow the glass -> got to get rid of the sandy particles that may scratch the coatings 2. Lens brush to loosen any remaining particles that may be stuck to glass 3. Compressed air again...

    Rifle Scopes My argument against "good" glass (for now)

    Re: My argument against "good" glass (for now) If spotting bullet holes at 200 is your objective, both the Bushnell HDMR and SWFA 5-20x50mm HD can accomplish that easily. You don't really need to drop $2K to $3K.

    Rifle Scopes Premier Vs USO

    Re: Premier Vs USO Premier has S&B level of glass. It's pretty much an S&B with different tube and reticles. USO has great tube and turrets and other customizable features but only upper mid range glass quality.

    Rifle Scopes Quality rings without the bulk?

    Re: Quality rings without the bulk? I had titanium 34mm rings custom made for me by Murphy Precision. Just about the same height you are looking for too without the big nut on the side. They are so light and strong I was amazed. Give Cameron Murphy a call. He has exactly what you are...

    Gunsmithing Stinky Guns

    Re: Stinky Guns You could also break the guns down into the component parts and clean them in a sonic cleaner with the gun cleaning solution. Then re-oil using synthethics. Can you describe your gun cleaning process?

    Spotting scope for 1+ mile shooting/observation.

    Re: Spotting scope for 1+ mile shooting/observation. I use my $2000 astro scope in binoviewer mode when spotting at that distance. Being able to see with both eyes helps resolve splatters better than viewing with one eye. My whole setup runs a tad over $3K so you are budgeting too little.

    Rifle Scopes Favorite low light scope

    Re: Favorite low light scope Trijicon 5-20x50. That thing was practically designed for low light.

    Rifle Scopes What does a $1k plus scope get me over $300 NIKON

    Re: What does a $1k plus scope get me over $300 NIKON You'll probably get better glass that allows you to see the holes at 200 along with tactical turrets and better tracking. Tactical scopes usually have thicker bodies than hunting scopes. Oh, forgot to mention a ranging reticle, like a...

    Suppressors Gas in face with can installed!!!! ugghhh help

    Re: Gas in face with can installed!!!! ugghhh help DDS didn't say that. I did. My AR is made from custom CNC'd billet upper with a DPMS nitrided BCG. I think the reason why mine fails after 25 rounds could be due to the much tighter tolerance of my upper. When the BCG gets dirty, friction...

    Re: Gas in face with can installed!!!! ugghhh help So the RTV fix is just for the charging handle? How does that stop of the excess gas from gumming up your BCG? Before I put in my Paladin Switch block, my rifle would get so freaking overgassed that it would permanently jam on the 25th...
