    Rifle Scopes aligning scope on rifle

    Re: aligning scope on rifle Level across the bolt race rails, another level across the flat on the scope, turn scope slowly while watching both levels - no, it's not hard. Tighten ring caps carefully. No problem. Works the same on Picatinny rail if the rail is of good quality - that is...

    Rifle Scopes night vision scope

    Re: night vision scope The customary question: your budget? I'd agree with the 14 or something similar if there are no constraints. That's probably the most practical as you can use it a couple of ways. Another would be - and the number escapes me at the moment - may be Ps24 but.... in...

    Re: 30mm AR optics mounts The AR 30 mm, Armalite EX0022 is just fine. They get $89. for them, though.

    Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15

    Re: Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15 I haven't put it up yet; have to come up with some "wants." One of the big problems is, if I were to get a varmint style upper or rifle, that is, one for somewhat longer range, it would be worthwhile to keep it, it would be useful. On...

    Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15

    Re: Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15 I still have the USO. You'll see it up on the trade section here as I can't sell outright with my low post count, and on FSN where I see you as well. I'll be open to a few things - I know you mentioned an M4, but that's what the 30...

    Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15

    Re: Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15 Thanks, gang. I did the deed last night and have a nice M4 with a bunch of useful accys and, most important, ammo. I'm not even sure I'll go to 7.62x51, though I would certainly agree that's a good all-around caliber. I look at my...

    Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15

    Re: Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15 Interesting, Gonzo. Right now, my long gun setup is the AR-30 in .338 and a 12ga. My only reason for a Beowulf would be on a boat so I could just bring my M4 and put on a .50 instead of bringing a shotgun. May not be worth it. My...

    Appreciate advice on a rifle change: AR-30 to AR15

    I would appreciate some input based on experience with the calibers. I may play with the rifle - range, etc. but I am not a "professional user". However, the use can get serious because it also is for SHTF and, that's a couple of types: regularly defined SHTF and the temporary one as I want...

    Addiction checkup - How many firearms do you own?

    Re: Addiction checkup - How many firearms do you o I've been getting a lot better in that regard. I sold off a bunch - mostly Western style stuff, some collector pieces. Just too much laying around to feed (different types of ammo) and support. So, I now have 1 shotgun, 1 rifle(.338Lap)...

    Rifle Scopes ffp mildot question

    Re: ffp mildot question Yes. That is the whole point behind ffp. I don't know if you already have one or not but be cautioned that the size of the reticle changes with the size of the image, as a function of the zoom. The reticle can be hard to see at low magnification and can overpower...

    Rifle Scopes Who Makes the best Glass???

    Re: Who Makes the best Glass??? When I saw the title of the thread I assumed just the glass: my answer would be Schott. Getting into scopes, I'd tend to agree with the quoted rating scale. I disagree with SS below NC Star in the response. When one talks about scopes, it's an entire...

    Rifle Scopes There must be a formula..

    Re: There must be a formula.. I would just underscore what dmg308 said. Anything manufactured has some variation, even when within specifications. Even if the scope optical axis, rings and base all align perfectly, the machining of the mounting surface with relation to the bore axis can be...

    Re: USO question/problem. Not sure what this is. PICS! I use an old phonograph (yes, I'm OLD) anti static device first on the lenses and then give it a whack. depending on where the floater is located, it may come off a lot easier. These gadgets were like small pistols with a...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold bashing: is it trendy?

    Re: Leupold bashing: is it trendy? They may be good, some may be bad - it happens. But, they definitely are overpriced, which is indicative of the "laurels, etc...." comment. I was in the market for a 10x. A Leupold was $1,300. - $1,400. for one, plus accys. I bought a USO 10x for $1000...

    Rifle Scopes mil vs moa which is more accurate

    Re: mil vs moa which is more accurate They are equally accurate and equally justifiable from a geometric standpoint. The difference is in range estimation, specifically, what YOU are accustomed to. A metric measurement has the advantage of easily being divisible by 10. Otherwise, the...
