    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor 5-20x50 Ocular Design

    Re: New Vortex Razor 5-20x50 Ocular Design I've been considering the Razor and this news pretty much makes the decision for me. What else can you ask for? The company makes a great product, backs it up without question, and they listen to their customers and make requested improvements...

    Re: as requested I appreciate that. They look like a nice height. Are those the steel ones or aluminum ones? Looks like Vortex has both now.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex EBR-2 vs. EBR-2B Reticle?

    Re: Vortex EBR-2 vs. EBR-2B Reticle? This is interesting. I had not seen an EBR-2B listed as an option on Vortex's site. Just an EBR-1, EBR-2, and an EBR-3. It appears the numerical markings for the mils on the vertical stadia are positioned differently. Does the EBR-2B really exist and...

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18

    Re: Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18 John, Thanks for the link. I had read that thread and it was definitely one of the more informative ones I found. Now that you've had a few more months with the Razor are you still pleased with it?

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18

    I'm looking for a good optic for a .308. I'm interested in a FFP mil/mil set up and I have pretty much narrowed it down to these two. I would love a US Optics 3-17 but it's just a bit out of reach. I've searched for and read most of the information I could find on here about these two...

    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA or 30 MOA base?

    Re: 20 MOA or 30 MOA base? Thanks for all of the help. It sounds like a 20MOA base is the better choice. The majority of my shooting is definitely going to be less than 1000 yards. The closest range to me is only 100 yds so that is where the majority of my practice will be. I just don't...

    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA or 30 MOA base?

    I'm excited to be working on my first bolt gun project. I'm starting out with a 700 .308. I've been looking at various scopes, seeing the new IOR Valdada FFP 6-24x56 it looks like it could be a good fit. I want to learn to use a mil/mil set up and I plan to shoot mostly steel out to 1000 and...

    Rifle Scopes Taking the IOR 6-24 FFP plunge

    Re: PICS Taking the IOR 6-24 FFP plunge Thank you for the clarification. I guess I've not seen a scope with this before. Is it a fairly common feature or something that is rather new?

    X-Mark Pro & J-lock

    Re: X-Mark Pro & J-lock Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I see now that the trigger is the old style X-mark and needs to be removed from the stock to make any adjustments.

    X-Mark Pro & J-lock

    Couple of questions about everyone's favorite trigger and everyone's favorite safety/security feature... I just picked up a new 700 ADL Varmint and the trigger guard had a tag on it that says the trigger is an X-Mark Pro. However, the trigger does not have the externally adjustable screw nor...

    R5 or ADL Varmint + AICS?

    Re: R5 or ADL Varmint + AICS? Thanks guys. I appreciate the input. I think I'll go the ADL route and work towards a custom build.

    R5 or ADL Varmint + AICS?

    Re: R5 or ADL Varmint + AICS? Thanks for the feedback. I do like the AICS and thought it would be about the simplest way to get into a detachable box magazine if using the ADL. With the R5 I would consider just adding the new bottom metal to the HS Precision it comes in. It sounds like...

    R5 or ADL Varmint + AICS?

    I'm looking to get a 700 in .308 and after having read numerous positive posts about the out of the box accuracy of the R5 I'm leaning in that direction. However, I've been seeing a 700 ADL Varmint at Dick's for about $480 which is roughly half the cost of the R5 though I know the stock on the...
