    Rifle Scopes A look at Vortex's Bubble Level

    Re: A look at Vortex's Bubble Level If you align your vertical reticle to the point that it tracks perfectly, and then attach the level to the scope and tighten it down with the bubble centered between the marks, wouldn't any level then be "level" in relation to the scope? It seems like they'd...

    Rifle Scopes A look at Vortex's Bubble Level

    Re: A look at Vortex's Bubble Level A couple years ago I tested (I think) 5 pretty expensive levels. when compared to a quality machinists shop level (Starrett) they All were off. Will they help in long range shooting...sure, but don't believe any of them are truly accurate.

    Rifle Scopes Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform

    Re: Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform As far as the Burris goes we had no quality issues at all, and that's saying allot the way all optics get treated by us. The Burris MTAC's best feature was it's reticle, it's calibrated for M855 ammo with "dots" for 100 (with its 6 o'clock...

    Rifle Scopes Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform

    Re: Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform Looked at the Burris XTR, looks again a bit busy (for me) but would have to work it through the magnifications to really judge. I do remember (per slowkota) The Burris glass was excellent, actually equal or better than allot of $1000. and up...

    Rifle Scopes Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform

    Re: Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform We had a few SN4 1-4 in the system no one really cared for the JNG reticle to busy and small to quick range with (which is not our need anyway with a CQC scope) and not great at 1X with basically one aim point. Right now I have a S&B 1,1-4x20...

    Rifle Scopes Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform

    Re: Talk to me about CQC optics on an AR platform The biggest problem with most CQC scopes in the 1-4 and 1-6 range is their reticle and the ones that use uncapped turrets. I feel that since manufactures of those scopes know that since they will never be used in a combat situation they cram...

    Re: Having trouble with a new Vortex PST and elevation Vortex shows that scope having 86 MOA for both ele and win, your POF P308 is a full rail isn't it? You should not be having any problems. You state you are using high rings...why with a 44 objective? I'll throw out; Have you confirmed...

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question shooter and all interested, I just got off the phone with Barrett. I had called this AM 615-896-2938 and asked for Laura Goetsch head of sales but was told she is now gone. Paraphrased here is what I was told; 'About 2 years ago Barrett did co-op with a authorized...

    Rifle Scopes SFP Mil Mil Question

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question No insult intended, and I stand corrected, I missed some things being in Afghanistan for the last 9 months. I did just call out to the Outpost Armory (their store outside Murfreesboro up the road from me) and they knew nothing of a Bushnell option as a package and...

    Rifle Scopes SFP Mil Mil Question

    Re: SFP Mil Mil Question shooter, I don't know where you got the info about the Barrett 99 but a Bushnell was never an option. I test for Barrett and have since Ronnie first started in the business. The 99 has two scope configurations as options, both Leupold. Of the three scopes you have...

    Rifle Scopes HDMR cat tail?

    Re: HDMR cat tail? Nick Meyer at Breakaway has been very helpful to all the special ops units for years now. What I like about the Breakaway is that if it really gets smacked it will slip on the magnification ring and not break anything plus it's not scope specific. I just wish they would...

    Rifle Scopes Best Benchrest Scopes

    Re: Best Benchrest Scopes "Best"...March But since you are not going to spend that money look for a quality scope with 1/8 moa adjustments and a very fine duplex reticle or equivalent. And I say MOA, remember MOA OPTIC: 1 CLICK = 1&#8260;4 MOA = .25” @ 100 YARDS MIL OPTIC: 1 CLICK = 1/10...

    Re: Side by side pic of NXS vs PST All I can say is that since you are use to a Nightforce the Vortex is going to be inferior to you.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 1-4 ?

    Re: Vortex 1-4 ? I'll ad since henchman mentioned optic quality, both Vortex and Burris optical components and construction come out of the Philippines and most likely from the same company to both Burris and Vortex specific specs which are good but are not Light Optics products!
