    Rifle Scopes Question about SS10x42MQ glass quality

    Re: Question about SS10x42MQ glass quality No sunshade, yet. If it truly helps I will get one. I have one for a 40mm Mk4 that I can try, it won't screw on but I can hold it up to it.

    Rifle Scopes Question about SS10x42MQ glass quality

    I just got one of the new SS10x42MQ and noticed the glass has a lot of reflection in it while in low light. Daytime, the image is crystal clear and surprisingly good, but at dusk/dawn it seems to be reflecting light which is washing out the image. I was wondering if this is normal, if so the...

    Rifle Scopes Day 1, Leupold M5 Locking Turrets 6-20x

    Re: Day 1, Leupold M5 Locking Turrets 6-20x Thanks for the clarification on that. I've had 3 mark 4's in the last 6 years or so and never had any problems with any of them.

    Rifle Scopes Day 1, Leupold M5 Locking Turrets 6-20x

    Re: Day 1, Leupold M5 Locking Turrets 6-20x usmc1488, was the scope you sent back the model in this review? I'm currently torn between the ERT 6.5-20x50 with TMR and the Mark 6 3-18x44, I just wish the Mark 6 came with a TMR reticle. Through promotive they are about the same price.

    Rifle Scopes My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5??

    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? Also, if you already know how to range with a mil reticle, switching to an moa reticle will be tough. I tried it and couldn't break my old habits.

    Rifle Scopes My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5??

    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? Another thing to note is that 1/10 of a mil (click) is .36 inch at 100 yards. If you think of it that way it simplifies the game. With moa turrets, 1/4 (click) is .250 inch at 100 yards. Disclaimer: I know the moa Nazis here are going to flame me...

    Best 6.5 all around projectile?

    Re: Best 6.5 all around projectile? Berger 130 or 140 VLD hunting, excellent on game and exceeds most other's match grade equivalent. The down side is they can be tricky to get the right load/seating depth. My 260 loves them anywhere from .010-.030 from the lands with 46.4 gr RL22. Getting...

    AAC 18in. 1/8 twist 308 barrel

    Re: AAC 18in. 1/8 twist 308 barrel Who makes this barrel? Is it from the Remington custom shop or what? Also, it doesn't appear to be a standard Remington varmint contour. I actually have a short action laying around, ready to go. Hmmm.....

    think my 6.5x46 Kriger Hvy Palma barrel is done?

    Re: think my 6.5x46 Kriger Hvy Palma barrel is done? Diego, is it skim bedded at all? I'm not familiar with that stock but assume it has an aluminum block. Did the fliers start happening after it was pulled from the stock and put back together? If so, then maybe the torque setting are...

    New custom 260 by BM Gunworks (Mike Badella)

    Re: New custom 260 by BM Gunworks (Mike Badella) Thanks for the compliments! I'm happy with it, but I need to decide on an optic. I'm thinking $2000 price range and am eligible for LE discounts. Razor HD, USO, and Mark 6 all come to mind. I'm also kind of curious about the Gen 2 Bushnell 3-21....

    think my 6.5x46 Kriger Hvy Palma barrel is done?

    Re: think my 6.5x46 Kriger Hvy Palma barrel is done? Just thinking out loud here.... Are the two unexplained fliers forming somewhat of a second group? Is there any consistency with the fliers at all? If the answer is yes to either of those questions I would check your bedding. If you are...

    Re: Best hunting 7mm-08 bullet for 18" barrel Run the numbers on the 168 VLD hunting bullet at 2575 FPS, you will be pleased. I am planning my next build, either in 308 or 7mm-08. It will have an 18" barrel as well. If I want near the performance of the 7-08 with the 168 in a 308, I would...
