    Rifle Scopes I need optics advice for latest rifle, please

    Re: I need optics advice for latest rifle, please No budget per se. I have $1000 in a saving account now for this purpose. I can put back about $800-1000 a month for this. Just a matter of patience. TheSamurai, how long did the USO scope take to get in after you ordered it, or did you buy...

    Rifle Scopes I need optics advice for latest rifle, please

    Remington 700 5R in .308 (I took the 300 Win Mag back, for several reasons) My eyesight isn't what it used to be. I am very new to precision rifles and also to long range shooting. For years, my shooting consisted of killing Bambi every year and shooting at the 1-300 yard range we have here...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have pics through a Night Force NXS F1?

    Re: Anyone have pics through a Night Force NXS F1? But, if someone took a picture through it, at say 500 yards at 15X scope zoom and 1X on the camera, it should give me a reasonable approximation of the size of the target, yes. I mainly need to see if 15X is enough mag for me. My eyesight...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have pics through a Night Force NXS F1?

    Especially at long range. I would love to see through one before I purchase, and no one that I know near me has one, and my local range only goes out to 300 yards. Thanks Patrick

    Rifle Scopes US Optics question

    I am looking at the USO SN3 TPAL 5-25X. I have seen "claims" on the internet that this is a FFP (First Focal Plane) scope. Howver, on USO website, the only 1 I can find with FFP in the description is the SN9. I really want a FFP scope. I also would like a little more mag than the NF 15X on...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T Front Focal

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T Front Focal I would go through cstactical. He advertises the scope I want with the M5 knobs from the factory. ETA I tend to avoid buying used glass. I had bad experiences both times I did before. Although they were scopes of a much more run of the...

    The far future of precision shooting rigs

    Re: The far future of precision shooting rigs Unfortunately for buffybuster, none of these weapons will be allowed into California. Unless the laser burns a unique serial number into the target so it can be traced back to you.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T Front Focal

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T Front Focal Is there anything WRONG with the Leupold? I have always been impressed with the glass in the past. As long as I can get the mil/mil then what am I missing with the Leupold that I would get with the Vortex? Not trying to be a smarta$$, just...

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T Front Focal I was waiting, (for the Vortex)but does anyone know when they will be available? Still June? or have they pushed it back again?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T Front Focal

    I have searched until my brain hurts (admitedly, this doesn't take much). Is this scope available with .1 mrad turrets? Can Premier maybe convert them? I like the scope and the price point is a little better than the Nightforce NXS F1 3.5X15X50 @ $2290 on sale at Optics Planet. But, I would...

    Remington VTR

    Re: Remington VTR Well, I am a hard person to pin down. I decided to start over with an inherently more accurate platform. I swapped even. I swapped my VTR and the Zeiss Conquest 6.5X20X50 scope on it for a brand new Remington 5R in 300 Win Mag yesterday. Now, I just need to save my...

    New Rifle followed me home.

    Swapped my Rem VTR 308 with Zeiss Conquest 6.5X20X50 on it for a new Remington 700 5R in 300 Win Mag. Now I need some new glass to go on it. Valdada IOR 3-18x42 FFP, or wait for the Vortex PST FFP scopes to come out. Or Leopold Mark 4 ER/T. Decisions, Decisions.... I like the FFP scopes...

    Remington VTR

    Re: Remington VTR I am assuming it is a standard 700 action? I can swap the barrel out later, if I am not satisfied, I suppose. Get a 26" or so from Kreiger most likely. Would just rather not spend the cash on the barrel if I can get reasonable accuracy out of it. I need to find a range...

    Remington VTR

    I have a fairly new Remington VTR in .308 Just used for deer hunting for the last 2 years. Might have 150 rounds through it. I know the stock is too flexible. If I get the McMillan A5 and let them bed it, with the right ammo, could this 22" 1-12 twist barrel have the legs to hit 1000 yards...
