    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    I battled for over a year with this. But once i got the K624i SKMR3 mounted i was kicking myself for not doing it sooner. The improved glass quality instantly helped me improve shooting beyond 600 yards.

    300 black out plinker round

    What is yours? I am new to the caliber. been loading a while, and this caliber seems to be a reloaders paradise with all the choice. 78 gr to 208, super/sub sonic, hunting vs plinking, etc. Im shooting a 16 inch ar, non suppressed. Just want to have fun with it. SO what are my options as...

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    Because at the time that I bought this optic, it was what my budget allowed. I have since replaced my PST's with K624i. And a Razor genII is over kill for a hunting rifle that gets taken out a few times a year at best. Even at that, the Viper HS series is a $400 optic, and the PST series is...

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    This is correct. Torqued appropriately using a wheeler fat wrench. I was recently informed of your posts regarding vertically split rings. I still am unsure of the mechanism that makes them an issue, but sure sounds like lots of people have issues. I have been happy with my strike eagle, and...

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    This is the 3rd Vortex scope I have had to send back for warranty work. This time it is a Viper HS that I have had for about 3 years. It was mounted on a Rem 700 270 that I fired maybe 50 rounds through for zeroing and load work up. Then I built a 300 black out and decided to put it in an...

    ADM Recon mount

    How many of you run this QD mount on your weapons? I just bought one for a 300 BO AR and HOLLY SHIT this is a nice piece of equipment. I am thinking of getting 1 for each optic I own, but I wonder if the additional weight (vs night force light rings) is worth it. I have a K624i on my PRS rifle...

    Rifle Scopes 2 rifles sharing 1 scope??

    HAHA! I see what you did there.... But seriously swapping is a major PITA, and eventually a cheaper alternative becomes the temporary answer.

    Well I should have cleaned it sooner. Groups tightened up, had great success at 1k (for me). Honestly I am a little annoyed I didn't do it sooner.

    Ar500 steel variants

    308pirate - I think he was saying that it takes hits just fine, saying the 450 is close to 500. I had brought in a spinner plate from my dueling tree and its pretty beat up. We shoot ars at it at 50 yards and out. Think he was trying to be a sales man, but then I informed him I bought a bunch of...

    Ar500 steel variants

    Not sure where to put this so here goes. I do some home tinkering fabrication. I make make my own t post hangers, dueling trees, fire pits, etc. I ended up with some off cut 3/8 plate of Hardox 450. Talking to the guy at the steel yard yesterday he says that stuff makes great targets as it is...

    RIP Poohster

    Go with peace Poohster. I feel your pain, we went through a similar loss last year. They are not just animals but a member of the family, with so much character. Give it time.

    Range Report Thoughts following range day

    TheGerman - Thanks for the advice. Yes it has been about 1k rounds since cleaning, But I took care of that already. I am planning to go out tomorrow so we will see what happens. I did some dry fire tripod practice yesterday, and it felt much better. I think a large portion of what I was...

    Range Report Thoughts following range day

    Thanks for the catch, I owe you a cold one. I wondered why the throat grew so much. Perfect example of why questioning data is important. I lost my old load data, so i cannot compare measurements, but it sounds like my current load is where it should be. Thank god I only adjusted 10 rounds. Stay...

    Range Report Thoughts following range day

    So I measured my distance to the lands last night after cleaning the barrel, receiver, and taking the bolt apart and cleaning it as well. My Distance to lands measured 2.095 using the Hornady tool. When compared to my previous loaded rounds, they were loaded to 2.073. This was measured and...

    Range Report Thoughts following range day

    canezach- Thanks for the reply. 1. I meant it more as a joke for tracking the SD of the SD. This is my first "precision rig" but have read a lot about needing to clean and chase lands once accuracy falls off. I guess was asking if that sounds like whats happening. I follow the OCW method for...
