    Rifle Scopes LRHS Parallax Knob Backwards?

    Guys, Just wanted to run this by the hide before I ship this scope off for repair. - Purchased a 4.5-18x LRHS many months ago... it has stayed in the box waiting for my nucleus to arrive. - This last weekend I mounted it and took it to the range. Zero'd @100... everything was good. - Moved...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for mid-range gas gun

    I have an old GEN 1 4-16 Vortex Viper PST on mine... I generally like that magnification range for those types of distances... been considering upgrading the glass for better clarity though.

    Rifle Scopes Mid-price Precision Rifle scopes

    Optics is a Pay-To-Play game... everything in your list has it's pros/cons... there is no free lunch. Out of that list, I would go with Razor Gen II. It's >2k and a little heavy, but a great scope and awesome warranty.

    Nucleus Orders

    Picked mine up today.... fit and finish is excellent, same as my Mausingfield. Love the short throw... I also don't find the lift heavy... it's nice. Anyone have any idea when LRI is going to start selling their shouldered barrels?

    Gunsmithing Mausingfield rail torque

    I did 25 in/lb and blue loctite also. I asked ARC and was told "Loctite is always good". :-)

    308 Ammo... I know I know

    Depends on different factors... out of a 20" barrel I can hit 600 all-day... getting out to 800 starts to be more hit/miss

    Rifle Scopes Months spent researching scopes, now what rings?

    I haven't personally used Spuhr, but the ARC rings are just so easy to install and are rock-solid. Having that single screw and the "clamp" design makes it a breeze... no more worrying about the scope moving while I line up the top part of the rings, etc.

    Rifle Scopes Months spent researching scopes, now what rings?

    Have used Seekins, TPS, Nightforce, and ARC. ARC hands down are the best!

    Which Kestrel meter for beginner

    You will quickly use the 3 rifles that the 5700 has, plus it has the range card. I would just go with the elite

    Gunsmithing building a 6.5 cm or rem 260

    I have rifles in both .260 and 6.5 Creed. 6.5 is great, plenty of components available for reloading and also factory loaded match ammo available. With .260 you have to reload... not a problem for some, but if you want to make a quick match or trip to the range you just can't buy match grade...

    Let's talk shooting mats

    I had the midway, but I hated how it constantly wanted to roll back up. Switched to the crosstac.. absolutely love it... no comparison.
