    Rifle Scopes Pic Request: AI AE or AW with S&B 4-16

    I'm considering getting this specific scope and would like to kindly request that someone with this setup post a picture of their gun so I can get kind of an idea of how it will look/mount on my gun. Thanks in advance!

    AI AW scope mount. AI dovetail or Pic rail?

    Re: AI AW scope mount. AI dovetail or Pic rail? AI rail is better than pic. The pic rail is zero cant so you will want a canted AI base either way. I would prefer the AI rail because it mounts lower.

    Rifle Scopes New USO SN3 Glass Quality

    Re: New USO SN3 Glass Quality Seems awfully strange that only last year, several forum members who compared scopes in person found that USO glass was disappointing. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1224033&page=3 My experience mirrors that of the above thread.

    Marksmen issued better M14 rifles in Afghanistan

    Re: Marksmen issued better rifles in Afghanistan The point of my post is that he has been banned already from several other gun forums (notably M4carbine and Lightfighter) for posting sensational claims about accuracy/reliability of M14 ebrs (and giving himself an excuse to post pics of his...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Diavari Victory T* FL 4-16x50. Reviews? FL?

    Re: Zeiss Diavari Victory T* FL 4-16x50. Reviews? FL? If you are talking about the just-released 4-16x50, I would pass because it is not offered with any reticles usable for a tactical rifle. It is only offered in 3 hunting reticles and Zeiss is not willing to change the reticle to something...

    Rifle Scopes Toughest Optic for the Money

    Re: Toughest Optic for the Money I've broken a USO myself and have seen others with broken USOs and broken leupolds, I know people who have broken S&Bs. I have yet to see or hear of anyone who has broken a NF NXS sxope.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 4 Vs. Nightforce

    Re: Leupold Mk 4 Vs. Nightforce From my experience, on the variable power Leupolds: the eye relief will shift depending on the magnification. This is particularly annoying because when it is on 8.5x I have to move my stockweld all the way back to get a complete sight picture and when on 25x...

    Rifle Scopes looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed.

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. Its hardly fair to call an S&B fragile. I would wager that an S&B is as durable if not moreso than a Leupold.

    Rifle Scopes looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed.

    Re: looked at Mark4 over weekend, disappointed. In Leupold's defense their glass isn't really that bad, as stated by BigBrother. I've compared most major brands side by side and I would say that Leupold glass is a little bit better than USO and NF but still on the same general level. S&B...

    Rifle Scopes Ready to step outside comfort zone for optics.

    Re: Ready to step outside comfort zone for optics. I would personally take NF over USO any day of the week. I had too many issues with some USO scopes I owned that had to be repaired/reconditioned and sold them all. I have never had a problem with Nightforce. Its worth a lot to me to not...
