    Rifle Scopes LMAO!!!! Sightron as good as NF.

    Re: LMAO!!!! Sightron as good as NF. The more I look back at some of the OP's posts, the more it seems this was nothing more than a troll post to dog Sightron optics. I believe SIII glass is some of the best you can find under $1k, bar none, and compares quite well with optics in the $1.5-2k...

    Rifle Scopes LMAO!!!! Sightron as good as NF.

    Re: LMAO!!!! Sightron as good as NF. I am a huge proponent of Sightron scopes, and have been singing their praises for years. Currently, I own no fewer than 5 or 6 Sightrons, including two SIII's (3.5-10x and 6-24x), two SII Big Sky's (3-12x and 4-16x), and at least one or two SII's. In my...

    Rifle Scopes Help with older IOR-Valdada 4-14x50 scope

    In my search for an optic for a 20" .308 build, I came across an early model IOR-Valdada 4-14x50 in mint condition. Its a 30mm tube, with MP-8 reticle, 1/2 MOA adjustments, and with parallax asjustment on the objective. Any ideas on how old this scope would be, and any reasons to avoid it...

    Recoil: 223 (no brake) vs 308 (w/brake)

    Re: Recoil: 223 (no brake) vs 308 (w/brake) A heavy barreled .308 with a brake is going to be fairly pleasant to shoot from the bench, but noise will be a factor. I've seen female (and younger shooters as well) develop flinches from the noise alone, so recoil may not be the only factor in...

    FN PBR vs SPR?

    I'm sure this has been covered before, but I haven't been able to find much using the search feature. What are the main differences between the FN PBR and SPR rifles (with regards to the CRF actions)? I have a PBR XP with the 20" fluted barrel and controlled round feeding, so how is it...

    Rifle Scopes Sub $1000 mildot 20x + scope

    Re: Sub $1000 mildot 20x + scope Sightron SIII fixed 20x42 is what I would pick. It offers everything you are looking for except the 50mm objective (42mm obj). Outstanding glass, easily equal to a Leupold MK4, with a modified mil dot reticle (half mil hash marks). Oh yeah, street price of...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR vs generic rings

    I am looking at picking up a set of Burris XTR low rings for a .22 trainer, and came across a set of Vector Optics rings on eBay. They look identical to the XTRs, so I am curious if they are a cheap knock off or if they are actually pretty close. I know the Vector's are Chinese, but are the...

    Rifle Scopes Elite 4200 FFP 6-24x scope?

    Re: Elite 4200 FFP 6-24x scope? Actually, I just found out it is a 2nd focal plane, not 1st.

    Rifle Scopes Elite 4200 FFP 6-24x scope?

    I have been looking for a scope to put on a 7mm-08 build, and I ran across a deal on a Bushnell Elite 4200 FFP 6-24x50. How do these compare with a Sightron SIII or other similarly priced optics? I know the Sightron offers more travel, but how much vertical movement can you get out of the...

    Any recommended go to loads with IMR 4064 and 168gr Noslers and 178gr AMAXs? I'd like to load up a few to try on my next range trip, at least before I start working up a load for the rifle. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes WOTAC optics?

    Whats the general consensus on a WOTAC 4-14x50? How do they compare with the Falcon line of optics, and what are the differences between a Gen 4 and 5? I have a chance to pick up one to use on a .22, but I don't have a lot of experience with the brand. Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Truing action without recutting threads?

    I may have a lead on a Remington 700 5R .308 barrel for cheap, and I am considering using it for a 20" build on an extra action I have. Of course, I would like to have the action trued, but I realize that I would not be able to use the 5R barrel if the receiver threads need to be recut. Here's...

    Gunsmithing Best option for .223 Wylde reamer?

    I'm considering having a local smith build a 20" .223 on a 700 action, and the only holdup is the reamer. He doesn't have a .223 Wylde reamer, and I really don't want to drop the coin to buy a reamer that will be used once. Any leads on a good place that rents/loans reamers? Thanks!

    Trouble with electronic scales

    Re: Trouble with electronic scales I have a couple of electronic powder measures, one is a Cabela's badged model that I bought over five years ago, and the other is an RCBS. They have always been pretty accurate for me, but I do have a habit of routinely checking them with check weights and...
