    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 8 3.5-25x56 - WHY?

    I strongly suspect that the prices offered on high-end scopes that have a significant government/military market potential are greatly increased so that the manufacturer can offer a "discount" on government contracts while still making a big profit. Such contracts may have a "most favored...

    Tactical Rifle Remington M40 for $4495?

    Photo #10 makes it look as if the scope rail is curving downward. Which I have found is what happens on at least two Rem 700's if you just put the rail on and tighten the screws without bedding it. I do bedding jobs on my cheap personal rifles, which fixes this issue. Requires 15 minutes of...

    Combatstocks.com???

    I've ordered three Choate stocks through them. Fast shipping, no hassles of any kind. The Choate stocks offer good features for the price. They are not a high end chassis system or Manners, but are an upgrade (except for weight) over many factory tupperware stocks.

    Question about hold/form

    I believe the videos say to use no muscle pressure and only the weight of your body, through your shoulder, pushing the bipod forward to load it. I was reluctant to say anything because I am NOT an expert on technique and only know what I've learned from video and book sources and personal...

    Question about hold/form

    For bipod prone, go to youtube and search for videos on "loading the bipod". There are one or two by SH's Lowlight, there is also one by 8541 Tactical, and there are others. Rather than trying to repeat what is said in the instructional videos, watch them and hear it from actual experts...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    Is there any reason the CTR model won't be compatible with the KRG or XLR chassis systems for the Tikka T3? I assume it will work, am just asking to be sure.

    Rifle Scopes Redfield: Revenge vs. Battlezone vs. Revolution

    I'll add: if you want an inexpensive scope assembled in the USA, the Revolution series is probably a good choice, maybe your only choice. I wouldn't buy a Battlezone again. If you don't care about where it's assembled, I think Burris, Weaver, Nikon and Vortex all offer competitive or possibly...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield: Revenge vs. Battlezone vs. Revolution

    The Revolution is their original Redfield-comeback scope and is assembled in the USA. The Revolution/TAC appears to be the Revolution with a MOA-hash reticle and target turrets. The Revenge is a hunting focused scope with an interesting rangefinding feature. Made in Philippines, I believe...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner xTreme Predator 4-16X50 HELP NEEDED!!

    It's calibrated at the max magnification of 16x. If a scope has a mildot or BDC and doesn't specify the magnification it's calibrated at, it's a safe bet it will be calibrated at maximum magnification. By the way, the Predator Extreme BDC reticle is basically the same as the Burris Fullfield...

    Rifle Scopes What does a lack of parallax adjustment translate to at distance ?

    No, that's the main reason higher magnification scopes have adjustable parallax. Parallax problems get worse with: -magnification -target distance relative to fixed focus distance (either much closer or much farther)

    My First Rifle... Savage, Remington or Ruger?

    I own or have owned 4 of the 5 being discussed here. My suggestions: 1) Howa 1500 - best bang for the buck, very well made and strong. Somewhat limited aftermarket but much better than for Ruger. And other than the stock you won't want or need to change much. 2) Tikka T3 - only one I...

    XLR Element, Thunderbeast on my 700!

    Looks very nice. I have a 700 and an Element for it and your setup looks quite similar to what I want. What's the paint/coating on the chassis? On the barrel and action? What kind of bolt knob is that, and do you like it?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42

    That Bushnell is made in Japan. It's an amazing scope for about the same price as the PST. I don't have that Burris but I have the 1-5x gen2 XTR and it has excellent glass and everything for the price. The 2-10x XTRII would be another good choice in this price range.... but I see some minor...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42

    I've owned both, I still own the SS (x3). The PST has more features and that one has very good glass, but I think the reticle and quality feel are much better on the SS (opinion), and it also has a terrific field of view at 9x (tangible fact). I found the PST exit pupil a bit small at 10x and...

    At what max range do you think this rifle could ring the steel reliably?

    Really it all depends on the size of the steel. :) Seriously though. You can set an accuracy goal and figure out what you are likely to need to upgrade to get there.

    How does a bullet go down the barrel and why is ammo rare?

    A) If you've ever heard a bullet wander past, you have heard the "krak!" as it goes by. What you are hearing is the sound of pure krak! propelling it through the air. All the krak! used to push a bullet has to be collected from its origin in nature. The "shot heard round the world" in 1883...

    Rifle Scopes Sig ssg3000 scope mounting help

    Awesome rifle, took mine to a match today and did my personal best, by far. I don't know of any inclined rail that mounts on top of the receiver rail. Not saying that it doesn't exist or couldn't be made, but haven't seen one. That Bushnell is listed as having 70 MOA of elevation adjustment...
