    Rifle Scopes Advise on a High end Glass upgrade.

    Can you get within 150 yards of them? Are you allowed to use red/green lights either handheld or weapon mounted? If so this would be a significantly lower cost and very effective option.

    Rifle Scopes FFP or SFP question.

    To address your concern about the reticle thickness relative to the target. Different companies make reticles with different line thicknesses so you'll have to investigate that separately. Second focal plane: The size of the reticle is constant so as you increase magnification the reticle...

    7.62 and 5.56 mag pouch

    Before you go all in I would try the over the top bungee method. To me reinsertion blows with that setup. Too bad you can't get the Eagle FB M4 open top pouches with any regularity any more.

    7.62 and 5.56 mag pouch

    If you want fast access and be able to carry both 556/762 the tacos will do that. With that said, I've seen guys using them under more stressful physical activity and mags fall on the ground. Yes there is an adjustment and no I didn't quiz them about it when I saw it but that doesn't mean I...

    Shadow Tech-Hog saddle

    I'm not sure what the deal is but for like a month the edit post button brings me to the edit post screen but I can't get a cursor in the edit box. Looks like my spelling is for the world to see.

    Shadow Tech-Hog saddle

    Unfortunately with the advent of the internet it seems like you hear about every little negative thing and not enough unbiased positive stories. This is one of the good ones! I've got a coupe and they get the job done.

    Rifle Scopes Hybrid Tactical / Hunting Scope

    Looks like he said $1000 or below no? There are sooo.... many. Maybe you can tell us what sort or reticle you prefer? What length and weight requirements? Do you have to have a side focus? Since you're primary use will be hunting in a stand, what ranges will those shots be at realistically...

    Rifle Scopes Best prices for Vortex

    The best prices on optics are not advertised anywhere and most likely the companys offering the best prices do so over the phone and don't want people posting on internet forums that they are selling below the set dealer pricing(ie: MAP etc....) Your best best is to call a few snipers hide...

    Night Vision Clip on NV question onto my 308 semi auto

    I would rather carry the extra 6oz and have something tried and true but that's just me. Too bad SWS doesn't make their 10.3" compatible with DPMS as you could use a 12" scope with the clip on no problem and save a few ounces.

    Night Vision Clip on NV question onto my 308 semi auto

    BTW, that handguard also comes with the barrel nut and wrench. If you know someone who has the wrench I believe he will take $40 off the price. There may even be a kind sould here who would lend you one.

    This would be a great replacement handguard giving you plenty of room and a sweert handguard to boot. Free Float Tube for AR-10 Carbine model You could just take off the top of the FSB and the new rail would cover it but a simple low profile gas block would be a bit cleaner appearance wise...

    Night Vision Clip-on Thermal Question

    I should have specified thermal clip on but didn't because of the thread subject. Either way excellent info and much appreciated. I'm OK with buying a mount and shooting the dope for both mounts on the same day from 100-600 with all else being the same but, if someone else already did it in an...
