    Rifle Scopes opinions on this Leupold Mark4 6.5-20x50 scope???

    Re: opinions on this Leupold Mark4 6-5-20x50 scope??? I have the same one in FFP/M5/TMR and I will second MGordon's advice. For me it works fine, since the longest range I shoot is 300 yards so it's only 1-1.5 mils (depending if it's .223 or .308). Otherwise, a great, reliable scope. What is...

    Some "popped" primers in a new package?

    I just got 5 brand new 100 count boxes of CCI #200 primers. This is my first time buying them. In each box there is about 4-10% of primers that appear to be "popped" for lack of better word. Is this a normal failure rate to expect?

    Rifle Scopes Return to zero of rings (Seekins)

    I am thinking of switching over from Bobro mount to Seekings rings. I am wondering what is the typical return to zero (after removing and reattaching a scope) with rings vs one piece base in general and with Seekins rings in particular? Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes Leupold M5 or M5A2?

    Re: Leupold M5 or M5A2? Keep in mind that regular M5 is 30mm tube while M5A2 is 34mm. Lowlight did a review and had good things to say about M5A2 version. Personally, I ended up getting the M5/30mm version and am happy with it, although I am thinking of getting M5A2.

    Tech AR question - Post 94 Colt Lower

    Re: Tech AR question - Post 94 Colt Lower First you need to determine: Do you have large fire control group pins? Do you have a sear block installed? You can also try calling Colt to see if they will help you.

    Barrel/Muzzle brake question

    I decided to try Surefire MB762 at the end of my Krieger barrel. Unfortunately, the barrel proflile is a bit thick, creating a noticeable gap: I feel it is a purely cosmetic concern, but would it be possible to have the brake fitted more closely to the bbl?

    Rifle Scopes Choosing a high end European scope

    I am thinking of getting a new scope and have narrowed my choices to the following: S&B 5-25 Steiner Tactical 5-25X56 Kahles K624i I read the reviews here, and they all seem to be very close to each other. The biggest delta seems to be the price with a new S&B about $500-600 more than either of...

    Re: NEW PRODUCT: VIPERSKINS Pistol Grip AICS Skins If I want to get the butt stock working with built in AI monopod - is it just a matter of removing enough material from the bottom of the butt and something that can be done by me?

    Rifle Scopes Problem zeroing scope - elevation bottomed out

    Re: Problem zeroing scope - elevation bottomed out I am happy to report that this was a case of "operator headspace". What I did is set the zero stop to the factory setting. To fix it, I simply unscrewed the set screw, and rotated the elevation dial up a revolution. Now the scope is zeroed...

    AI Adjustable Butt plate

    I am thinking of getting one for my rifle(s) and have a few questions: 1. Does the same plate work with both AICS and an actual AI AE MK II chassis? 2. What is the shortest LOP I can get with it compared to only the rubber pad on AICS? 3. Does the buttplate allow me to move the butt up in...

    Rifle Scopes Problem zeroing scope - elevation bottomed out

    Re: Problem zeroing scope - elevation bottomed out Håkan, Thank you for the information. I will look into getting AI Adj butt plate. While it does appear a bit high, I think it's an issue with the zero stop in the scope itself. I tried on a Rem 700 with regular base, and I also couldn't...
