    Rifle Scopes Anyone use a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on their hunting rig?

    Re: Anyone use a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on their hunting rig? The new reticle is easier to see in low light. Works better than the old mildot, especially on 3X.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone use a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on their hunting rig?

    Re: Anyone use a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on their hunting rig? I've had a couple of these now and they work great for hunting. On mine the knobs have been stiff enough (they're also fairly smooth so they don't catch on things as much as some) that having them move accidentally was never a worry...

    Rifle Scopes Premier Heritage, really comparable to USO and S&B

    Re: Premier Heritage, really comparable to USO and S&B My PH 3-15 was as at least as good as the S&B 3-12X50 PMII I had at the time in low light conditions. It's pretty rare to hear of anybody displeased with their low light performance compared with other scopes with equal sized...

    Rifle Scopes Is my scope going to be okay?

    Re: Is my scope going to be okay? It's much more likely the scope tube was a few thousandths oversized and just scraped a bit on the sides as it was torqued into the mount. The outside diameters of scope tubes don't seem to be held to very tight tolerances. If that's what happened your...

    Rifle Scopes Swapping scopes. Wonder if my dope will change?

    Re: Swapping scopes. Wonder if my dope will change? Yes, this is one of the reasons I advocate measuring the click value of every scope--even with quality scopes you'll often find them 1% or 2% off this way or that which is certainly enough to require different dope at longer ranges. When...

    Rifle Scopes Problems with Vortex Viper PST 6x24 on 20 MOA base

    Re: Problems with Vortex Viper PST 6x24 on 20 MOA base That is normal for this scope as well as many others (though usually to a lesser extent). It is what it is. The best advice is if you're not shooting long range and using 6X a lot, use a flat base. If you're shooting long range and...

    Rifle Scopes Optics for a 6.5 Grendel AR

    Re: Optics for a 6.5 Grendel AR I've had a ton of scopes on my 6.5, but I'd have to say my favorite so far (especially when price is considered as a factor) is the SS 5-20 HD: It's excellent for stretching the Grendel's legs, I shoot mine out to 1100 yds quite often. It has a nice big FOV...

    Rifle Scopes NF F1 vertical track test

    Re: NF F1 vertical track test Another easy doublecheck you can do (especially if the distance measurement was questionable) is measuring the clicks against the reticle. With the rifle held steady, aim at something with the 10 Mil down mark on the reticle, crank 10 mils into the turret and...
