    Rifle Scopes TPS ring failure...

    Re: TPS ring failure... I did receive an email with a ticket number for my claim, but haven't actually received a response. Hopefully I will find out something tomorrow, so we'll see.

    Rifle Scopes TPS ring failure...

    Re: TPS ring failure... OK, I attempted calling TPS, and was only able to reach their automated system. I left a message, but have not received a return call. I attempted emailing to their support email on the TPS site, "[email protected]", except I keep getting the following...

    Rifle Scopes TPS ring failure...

    Re: TPS ring failure... I just checked the torque wrench, and it was actually set to 55in/lbs. Not sure what to say at this point, but hopefully TPS will help us out. I didn't know there was any issue with TPS rings, as this is the first bad thing I've heard about the. I have another set...

    Rifle Scopes TPS ring failure...

    Buddy was mounting a set of 30mm TPS aluminum rings tonight, and torqued them to 65in/lbs per specs on the TPS site. Rear ring went on without any issue, but the front ring snapped off where the cross member locks into the ring (opposite of the hex nut). Anyone dealt with TPS customer...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron vs Burris

    Re: Sightron vs Burris No question, Sightron SIII. I've owned quite a few SIIIs, as well as more than a few Burris scopes, and to me there is no comparison. Eye relief on the Sightron is much better, and the turrets are more positive. Plus, customer service at Sightron is second to none...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon ACOG TA55?

    Re: Trijicon ACOG TA55? Thanks for the information. It looks like the TA55 will work great as a semi-precision optic out to 300-500 yards, and should be perfect on steel. The reticle looks very close to that on my TA33, which has been very easy to use. I plan on using the optic mainly on...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon ACOG TA55?

    I'm looking at picking up another ACOG, specifically a TA55 for a 16" midweight build. Looking on the Trijicon site, the first thing I noticed was this scope is HUGE compared to other ACOGs. Its 26oz and 12" long, which dwarfs most other models. I'm not too concerned with the size, though...

    Gunsmithing Tig Welders?

    Re: Tig Welders? I picked up a Lincoln Invertec V250-S stick/TIG machine a couple of years ago, and I have been very happy with the machine. I taught myself how to TIG weld, and have had a lot of fun doing it. Only issue is, mine is a DC only machine (so no aluminum for me). I'd love to...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 6-18x mil-dot... but a 14x mil-dot reticle

    Re: Leupold 6-18x mil-dot... but a 14x mil-dot reticle No that this helps your problem, but not all scope manufacturers mil at max power. I believe some mil around 10x and a few others at 12x, depends on the manufacturer.

    Rifle Scopes Scope with a TON of MOA... Help!

    Re: Scope with a TON of MOA... Help! You really cannot go wrong with the Sightron SIII's. As it was mentioned above, the scope in the SniperCentral article was the older model. I've owned both versions, one of the older 3.5-10x44s, as well as a couple of the newer 3.5-10s and a 6-24. The...

    Rifle Scopes Help pick a hunting scope: Zeiss, Sightron, Nikon?

    Re: Help pick a hunting scope: Zeiss, Sightron, Nikon? I currently own a couple Sightron SII Big Sky's, as well as a few Nikon Monarchs, and I have owned two Zeiss Conquests (3-9x and 6.5-20) If I had to rank them, it would be the Sightron #1, Zeiss a close 2nd, and the Nikon 3rd. The glass...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII 20x42 vs. Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50

    Re: Sightron SIII 20x42 vs. Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 I forgot to mention this in the previous post, but another advantage I found with the Sightron is the eye relief.

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII 20x42 vs. Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50

    Re: Sightron SIII 20x42 vs. Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 While I haven't owned the fixed 20x42, I do own a couple of 3.5-10s and a 6-24x50 SIII. I've also owned a Conquest 6.5-20, and I think the SIII is a better deal for the money. The Conquest isn't bad, but its a 1" scope with nowhere near...

    Info on Remington bolt gun

    Need a little info on a Remington bolt rifle I came across yesterday. Its a stainless Model 7 XCR in .308 with a fluted 20" barrel and camo synthetic stock. The barrel looks similar to the fluted barrels on an LTR, but I am not sure if its the same. Anyone have any information on these guns...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 elevation bottomed still 1 min high

    Re: Leupold MK4 elevation bottomed still 1 min high We ran into a similar problem on a buddy's FN recently. He was running a Mark 4 fixed 10x with M3 knobs on the factory 20 MOA base, we couldn't get it any closer than 1.5" high at 100 yards. He ultimately just shot it like it was, as he...
