    Rifle Scopes 3x SWFA SS 5-20x50mm illuminated

    Continuing the switch from second focal-plane to FFP. First was mounted on a Remington 700 SPS Tactical 223 in an AICS 2.0. Happy now with .885" rings. Two more inbound. One designated for a 22" 1:8" twist 22BR. Still trying to decide which 260 Remington the third should live on. AR-10, or...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 5-20x50mm illum -vs- IOR 3-18x42 SH LT158

    Two rifles, two scopes. Trying to decide if one option makes more sense. I have 30mm & 34mm rings. Remington 700 with 24" Lilja in 260 Remington. Barrel has been abused but still shoots OK. Manners T5A stock. Eagle / Armalite AR-10 built up from parts with 22" Lilja barrel in 260...

    Considering A Lightweight Tac Hunter Build

    Re: Considering A Lightweight Tac Hunter Build No hard numbers, but it's been my impression for a given barrel-length, the 7mm-08 can always push a 140gr bullet faster than 260 Remington. I'm guessing a 155gr 308 bullet would be right in there, if not faster. The 6.5mm bullet would have the...

    Considering A Lightweight Tac Hunter Build

    Re: Considering A Lightweight Tac Hunter Build I'm a HUGE fan of the 6.5mm as well, but it seems that you can push a heavier bullet faster from a short-barrel 7mm or 30-caliber. --

    Re: AICS 2.0 & SWFA SS 5-20x50mm Thank you. That was the info I was looking for. Didn't realize this was a common problem.

    Rifle Scopes AICS 2.0 & SWFA SS 5-20x50mm

    I have a Remington 700 SPS Tactical .223 with a 20 MOA base in an AICS 2.0. Stuck this new SWFA SS 5-20x50mm on it using (I think) Badger Ordnance 306-16 MAX-Alloy .823" rings. Even with the comb as low as it goes, I can't seem to get down low-enough to get a good sight-picture on higher...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rifle weight?

    Re: Hunting rifle weight? My buddy has a Remington 700 Alaskan Titanium in 270 WSM that shoots "pretty good". Pretty lightweight. I bought a Remington 700 Titanium in 260 Remington. It just wouldn't shoot. Couldn't hit a pie-plate @ 100yds. Super lightweight though. Purchased a...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 4-16x -vs- 6-24x 50mm scopes

    Re: Vortex Viper PST 4-16x -vs- 6-24x 50mm scopes I think there's a perception of "spray and pray" with a semi-auto that's absent from a bolt-action. In the same vein, I tend to wonder if I'm doing myself a disservice by making the additional magnification available. --

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 4-16x -vs- 6-24x 50mm scopes

    The 4-16x is slightly lighter, slightly shorter, and slightly less-expensive. Assuming 16x is plenty for "practical" purposes is there a good reason not to just get the 24x and use it primarily @ ~16x? Knowing there is a little more magnification available if for some reason it becomes...

    Re: 6mmbr Good point about not feeding from a magazine. It's curious that no one has been able to figure that out.

    Re: 6mmbr I have a 22BR. I like it, but I think if I had it to do over I might have gone with a 6BR.

    AICS Lighter weight build?

    Re: AICS Lighter weight build? I've got a Remington 700 titanium short-action and a 6.5mm carbon-fiber wrapped barrel from the Rock Creek group-buy a while back. I've been toying with the ideal of a lighter-weight build once the AX AICS becomes publicly available. --
