    Rifle Scopes What ring height do I need for an AR15 mono?

    Hey guys, I just purchased a Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 30mm scope for my Daniel Defense AR-15 monolithic flat top upper (it does not have a front sight). I want to add Butler Creek flip up sights as well. Does anyone know what ring heights I need? I figure if I go too low that the charging handle...

    Re: SB 5-2x56 PMII or NF 5.5-22x56 for Les Baer AR 308 Thanks for the all feedback so far. What do you mean by "The eye box on the Henny makes it very worthwhile for Autoloaders."

    Rifle Scopes SB 5-2x56 PMII or NF 5.5-22x56 for Les Baer AR 308

    Hello, I recently bought a new Les Baer 308 semi (AR10 style variant). I've been doing a lot of research about the scope to mount on it. I plan on getting into long range shooting (600+ yards). I've seen lots of people recommend the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 & Schmidt and Bender 5-25x56 PMII...

    Rifle Scopes Is a mil-dot ret & a custom elev turret overkill?

    Hello, I'm considering the Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 for my AR15 16" carbine. It is not currently offered with a ranging reticle. I read a rumor that it will be coming out with a mil-dot reticle though available from the custom shop. Since you already have the option of the CDS dial, which is a...

    Rifle Scopes Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes?

    Re: Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes? It still blows me away that Leupold hasn't even bothered putting the VX-6 line on their website yet. Nothing like marketing your new market changing line, and not telling anyone about it.

    Rifle Scopes Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes?

    Re: Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes? Will you have to send the scope back to Leupold to change it to the mil-dot reticle, or will you have to buy it directly from Leupold?

    Rifle Scopes Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes?

    Re: Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes? While the Leupold reticles aren't as good, the VX-6 line does come with CDS elevation dials, so you can range the scope. It's not ideal for precision shots, but it will get you in the ballpark. Since I'm looking for one for my AR15...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Illum Duplex vs Illum German #4 dot

    Hello everyone, I plan on buying a Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 30mm illuminated scope for my AR15 (its a 16" carbine). The only thing I can't decide on is the reticle. It comes in either the illuminated duplex or illuminated german #4 dot. This is for all around general use, from close to long...

    Mag ext. options for my Remington LTR 308

    Hello all, I recently purchased a Remington 700 LTR 308 left handed. I'm considering a couple of options to increase the magazine capacity. The first is a H-S Precision trigger guard and detachable magazine. It has a 10 round detachable magazine. Since the LTR already has a H-S Precision...

    Which 1" tactical rings?

    Re: Which 1" tactical rings? Thanks for the input everyone. I decided to go with the Leupold Mark 4 steel rings. I figure I probably won't upgrade to a 30mm scope on this rig. I don't really plan on shooting past 300 yards, so there's no need really. Thanks again

    Which Badger Ordnance mount? 20 MOA cant, 30???

    I'm considering Badger Ordnance scope mounts and rings for my Remington 700 LTR 308 LH & Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40mm AO. The thing is, what's the difference between all the different mounts? Some say 20 MOA cant, 30 MOA cant, 45 MOA cant, zero cant, etc. I didn't see an explanation for any of...

    Which rings for Remington 700 LTR & 40mm scope?

    Re: Which rings for Remington 700 LTR & 40mm scope? What's the downside of the dual dovetail mounts? I assumed they'd be more sturdy than the Leupold STD mounts. Plus the two piece gives me better access to the chamber. What's the advantage of the Badger mount? & that probably is a good...

    Which rings for Remington 700 LTR & 40mm scope?

    Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Remington 700 LTR 308 left handed. I plan on mounting the Leupold dual dovetail 2 piece mount (#50042). I have a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40 AO scope (61110). Referring to the Leupold charts it says you can usually use low rings for the 40mm scopes, except...
