    Rifle Scopes Whats the advantage to FFP scopes

    Re: Whats the advantage to FFP scopes There are pros and cons to them. The reticle grows as you increase the magnification. The advantage to this is in range estimation. You don't need to have the reticle at a specific power for the mil dots to be accurate as with second-focal plane...

    30-06 versus 300wsm

    Re: 30-06 versus 300wsm 30-06 is one of my favorite cartridges. Hornady has some nice loads which you can duplicate, which approach .300 mag. I will say that a .300 short magnum may make a smoother rifle because of the short action instead of the long. I'd still make it a 30-06 for myself...

    Rifle Scopes is this a good scope for a 338 lapua?

    Re: is this a good scope for a 338 lapua? Always check the amount of internal adjustment (elevation): the Lap is a very long range cartridge and you'll have a lot of bullet drop to deal with while the load still is usable. Sure, at 1000 yards you only need about 24 minutes, but the cartridge...

    Rifle Scopes Super Sniper Scope

    Re: Super Sniper Scope SS scopes are outstanding for a simple, basic scope. By "basic" I do not mean economy model or scaled down. As others have said, they have the essentials. If you are talking the new generation ($700.+) I think you can do better for less money or a lot better for just...

    10 guns you will have in the future

    Re: 10 guns you will have in the future Interesting thread. I'm going through a similar thought process, myself, based on current use, projected use and my overall tactical situation. Yes, to some extent my "toys" are just that but one has to consider SHTF. No, I don't want to go off on a...

    AR-30 custom stock

    Re: AR-30 custom stock I suppose it's a reasonable way to make the stock adjustable. In general I'm surprised some manufacturers such as Choate haven't come out with some AR-30 accessories because the main stock to buttstock attachment is so simple. I have looked for some myself, toying...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell FFP or Super Sniper FFP for 300 Win

    Re: Bushnell FFP or Super Sniper FFP for 300 Win Thanks to those who did all the testing and "legwork". I was considering the 4200 ffp and backed off based on some of the complaints I read here. I know some of that would have annoyed me. (Intelligence learns from experience; genius learns...

    Rifle Scopes Scope help!! long sorry!!

    Re: Scope help!! long sorry!! Watch the internal adjustment available on the scopes. Some have more than others. That 3200 5-15 has only about 54 moa, according to factory spec, IIRC. While you may not need to dial in more than that for a .223, suppose you get another rifle or even another...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper or Bushnell elite 3200 tactical

    Re: Vortex viper or Bushnell elite 3200 tactical The specific Bushnell you mention has, I believe, about 55 minutes of internal adjustment. Sounds like it might just barely make it at 1000 but I don't think that's something you can rely on. I don't know the internal adjustment of the Vortex...

    Rifle Scopes Where to find Falcon Menace?

    Re: Where to find Falcon Menace? Unfortunately, I have to add that I e-mailed sightwonders and asked about the issues with Falcon and whether they had changed some suppliers of parts, referencing specifically the comments on the other sniper site. Never got an answer.

    Rifle Scopes Where to find Falcon Menace?

    Re: Where to find Falcon Menace? sightwonders.com possibly. I, too like the Falcon because of the extended lower reticle for holdovers. But another (brand x) sniper site made the comment that they "gave up on getting .... quality from Chinese sourced scope manufacturers." This site had...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell FFP or Super Sniper FFP for 300 Win

    Re: Bushnell FFP or Super Sniper FFP for 300 Win Regarding the turrets, possibly a Kenton Industries replacement turret? I've been considering the same scope and probably would lean to a (OK, lazy man) ranging turret from Kenton. My alternative scope is Sightron III 10x fixed. Yes, I'd...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace Questions

    Re: Falcon Menace Questions Have they (Falcon) got their quality issues behind them? I was thinking of one myself because I like the reticle - the extended lower leg for holdover, which I wish more mfrs. would do. However, I read on another sniper site that the owner/main tester had...

    Rifle Scopes what is to much?

    Re: what is to much? Depends on use as many others have said. On a bench and competing at long range, meaning careful placement from a detailed view of a bull requires more than a less stable hold or mount as in real tactical shooting or banging plates from a quickly deployed bipod...
