    Rifle Scopes 6.5 Grendel mounting options

    Re: 6.5 Grendel mounting options Yes, the Grendel has a very rainbow-esque trajectory. A 20 MOA mount is a no-brainer for long range use. It'll be needed for many scopes just to get that far. And for scopes that do have enough adjustment to barely make it, it’ll keep you farther from...

    Rifle Scopes Is FFP useful on 1-4X or 1-6X scope?

    Re: Is FFP useful on 1-4X or 1-6X scope? One note on "in between powers." I agree with others that 1-4's are virtually always used on 1X or 4X, but for the 1-6's I think people will find themselves using the in-between powers from time to time. There are many situations where you're not...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 mount?

    Re: Vortex PST 6-24 mount? For the Triple Lug Rings, the bodies are 6061, the clamps are 7075. With the GenII AADMOUNT AR mounts, they're all 7075.

    Running a 1-4/1-6 on an angled mount?

    Re: Running a 1-4/1-6 on an angled mount? It is true 1-X scopes will perform optimally when optically centered; a 20 MOA mount takes them away from that center. David S gave a good explanation of the reasons why in a post a while back. In practical terms, what you'll notice is the view on...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 4-16x50 PST clarity

    Re: Vortex 4-16x50 PST clarity Since I've mentioned it I guess I should pipe in.... Like jrob300, both of the 4-16 PST's I had were early ones that may not accurately reflect what they're putting out now. I don't know. What I do know is they were both significantly inferior to the 6-24 I...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    Re: SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44 It's much thicker than the reticle in the 5-20. It's very easy to see and use on 3X in low light. Here's a pic on 3X:

    Rifle Scopes Weaver rings on Picatinny rail

    Re: Weaver rings on Picatinny rail The spec was never intended to remove all front to rear play. Making .206" wide lugs on rings/mounts is a great way to ensure 1/2 of the rings/mounts aren't going to fit 1/2 of the rifles. That's the exact opposite of the spec's purpose. Push the rings...

    Rifle Scopes Badger 30mm Unimount

    Re: Badger 30mm Unimount It's by design and completely normal for Badger rings. If you look carefully, you'll see the horizontal split between the ring bottoms and tops is not on the center of the circle, but above center slightly. Because of this, if the bottom half followed the contour of...
