    Spotters Spotting Scope Advice

    I have an Ares 20-60x....HD glass. It does everything I need it to, and more. I honestly don't know how much better an image I would get for a $6k top of the line spotter....but I doubt it would be worth it for my needs.

    Bergara LRP action thread pitch

    The factory barrel is good, shot .5 - .75 moa essentially. Its a button rifling barrel. The Hawk Hill is a cut rifled barrel and shoots .25 - .5 moa. Even if I screw up, .75 moa.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for long range scope advise

    Athlon is the new Vortex....ok, maybe a couple of years ago you could say that....Athlon has proven to be a very good company with some outstanding scopes. I'm partial to the Japanese built Cronus BTR...and now the Gen2 version. Built by LOW, the same place that builds the Vortex Razor Gen2 as...

    .224 Valkyrie Buffer & Spring....which one?

    Which SCS...is it just a rifle length one? I see many listed so want to pick the right one. Would a Geissele Super Braided 42 rifle length work with a 5.4 oz buffer? If I went the traditional route? Would I want a heavy or standard buffer?

    .224 Valkyrie Buffer & Spring....which one?

    Waiting on a Craddock build, 22" barrel. Getting my lower in order. For a rifle length buffer tube, which spring/buffer combo would work best? Not shooting suppressed. I know nothing about the JP Silent Capture system. Is it true you remove the buffer retaining pin if run the JP? Thanks for...

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    Green tip 62 gr or xm193 55gr.....far from ideal. Scrounge for whatever we could get.

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    That was so long ago....and so many scopes ago.....you made me wonder. I pulled out my old Rite in the Rain notebook from that contract. I wrote down it was a MR/T 3-9x with M3 knobs. Standard mil-dot reticle and I want to say it was a SFP reticle.

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    If I remember correctly....it was a Mk4 MR/T....2.5-8x36 with M2 knobs. No illum. Nice scope for Tikrit.

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    This was same rifle as Haley....issued by same company at a Northern site. Only difference is this rifle had different elevation knob, not the M1 turret. Issued to me in 2005 at FOB Danger. Our zero range was down by the river....some raghead shot at me and my partner from the cliffs...

    Optics JP 34mm Cantilever Scope Mount 0 MOA

    JP 34mm 0moa (no cant) Cantilever scope mount. Flat top for mounting accessories, 5 screw base with picatinny lug. It does have a scuff on the cantilever below the ring pictured as well as a little resin residue inside the rings. I bought this used on SH. Great mount, scope did not have a lot...

    Crimson Trace 3-Series Tactical Rifle Scope 34mm Tube 5-25x 56mm

    Somebody posted the Midway USA link that had these on clearance for $499. Looked too good to pass up for a Japanese built scope...love my LOW built Cronus's.....Croni (plural)....which I have 2. Hopefully JOL would make an equally impressive scope. Took my Cronus BTR 4.5-29x in Geissele 20 moa...

    224 Valk Upper Build CLE vs Craddock

    Looking to have a .224 Valkyrie complete upper built.....either Compass Lake Engineering or Craddock Precision. Craddock is out of parts and cannot give a timeline yet....could be many months. CLE quoted a 10-12 week build time. Both would be with a Bartlein 1/7 22" barrel. Is one...

    What is good magnification range for range spotting scope?

    The more, the better. You may not be able to use the high end due to mirage or other factors....but better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I have an Athlon Ares 20-60 x80 ED Glass.....great spotter that won't break the bank. It's listed at Camera Land NY.....

    What are good spotting scopes for PRS and/or 22LR

    I have an Athlon Ares that smoked this Bushnell Elite.....still have the Athlon and use it regularly. Couldn't sell the Bushnell fast enough. I don't think Athlon makes this spotter any longer, but I'd look at their Cronus spotter. Best value in the optics world IMHO.

    sub 500$ red dot

    Whatever you get, pick a 2 MOA dot size. 4 is too big IMHO.

    Vortex vs Athlon

    Rob01....I know you are a Vortex guy but curious if you have any hands on time with an Athlon Cronus BTR.....and what you thought of it. Secondly.....I don't have a rifle for it, but I bought a Crimson Trace Series 3......too good of a deal to pass up. Hope it's as good as I've read
