    Tac Ops Rifles

    Found some old load data I'd written down, which included the below to duplicate the factory FGMM 168gr loads. If I remember correctly 43gr of IMR-4064 gave me very similar results. As always, work up, be safe, etc etc. "42 grains of RL-15 as an accuracy load using the 168 grain SMK, Federal...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope for Mid-Long Range

    A mil/mil scope would generally tend towards being an FFP, but I haven’t taken a look at their offerings for a while.

    Rifle Scopes Reticles: thru scope pics! ZCO, TT, NF, S&B, Minox, Horus, Steiner, Kahles, March, Vortex, and More!

    The 3-12 and 4-16 mildot reticles come with the choke rangefinder, but the 3-12 SSG/-P has the elevation indicator/rangefinder as well. The 3.5-26 did away with the choke rangefinder, as well as the solid mildots, my personal peeve with it. As far as those red rings from the Hensoldt web page...

    A trio of Hensoldts. "Basic", but fast & uncluttered for me.

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr binds parallax ?????

    18-22 in-lbs on all 10 screws, with 20 recommended for my scope tube and caliber by Near. In no particular order; I torqued once and it’s GTG. Same procedure with my Badgers & Era-Tacs; I’ll put my success down to well machined rings & mounts, then, coupled with straight scope tubes. Any...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr binds parallax ?????

    I suppose I should worry about bolt crosstalk in my other application’s non isolated 8 screw Near front saddle/caps, but no issues with them.

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr binds parallax ?????

    SN13 - that techno stuff is far above my pay grade, but it got me thinking - maybe that’s why Richard Near’s 8 screw Classic rounded front caps are actually two rings with a slight gap + 4 screws each. Not that I’ve had an issue with his flat accessory 8 screw caps either...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr binds parallax ?????

    I’m not exactly sure what “too precise” means. Never used the Spuhr 6 screw rings, but I have zero issues with Badger 6 screw rings & Near Mfg 8 screw rings, both of which, especially the Near Mfg, put the caps extremely close to the bell/ turret section flange in my applications. I do run a...

    FWIW, I haven't had/heard of this issue on a front dual saddle/cap/ring Near Mfg Alphamount.

    Rifle Scopes Scope and rRings for. 338?

    Forgot to mention - the Near Mfg and Era-Tacs are unimounts. May want to look at Badger Ordnance for separate rings if that’s your fancy.

    Rifle Scopes Scope and rRings for. 338?

    I’d look at Near Mfg or Era-Tac for your rings/mount. The scope choice depends on the reticle you’re happy with.

    Rifle Scopes 0 or 20 MOA?

    I agree with the above sentiment.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss scopes...anyone using them?

    Quite a difference in glass quality between the Conquest and the higher end Diavari/Victory/FL. Last I checked, most game animals couldn’t tell the difference between an “old fashioned hunting scope” or a “mil/mil tactical scope”. I personally can’t tell the low light difference in glass...

    Rifle Scopes NEW Tangent Theta Long Range Hunter model

    bachelorjack - the 315H reticle boldness is great for hunting in low light with a failed battery. The only thing that turned me off was the limited 3.5 mil hold/slide reticle, just a bit too little for a dual purpose scope. If I was in the market for a newer 30mm tube, the TT315H (or perhaps...

    Rifle Scopes NEW Tangent Theta Long Range Hunter model

    28oz. Considering it’s a mere 30mm tube with a minuscule 50mm bell, it’s a pork chop.

    For transmission guys only

    You obviously haven’t had the pleasure of driving a compounded 89-93 Cummins with a billet shafted 94-96 lockup transmission.
