    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Thanks for all the great info here man, that is likely exactly what I will do re: saving the the NF 4-16 ATACR. I figure even with a couple years use out of the LRHSi, I could probably get most if not all of what I paid for it back when it’s time to upgrade.

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Thanks again for all of the replies here. Definitely seems that for my uses, the LRHSi deal from GAP is hard to beat, so I pulled the trigger and have one on order!

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    Thanks to everyone for the replies. Some of the things said in the above posts were what sold me after I got a chance to handle a Tikka. That bolt throw & action is silky smooth compared to the Howa! I ended up picking up a Tikka CTR 20” 6.5CM off the EE here for a fair price.

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    Thank y’all both for the reply. I ended up getting a decent deal on a Tikka CTR from the EE here instead. Probably just wring that out before I start throwing money at upgrades.

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    Vegas, I’ve got the NX8 in a Geissele 1.93 Mount. I’ve seen you say that it works better in a standard mount...just wondering if you’ve done any side by side comparisons (or just used both at different times) to come to that conclusion? Is the difference significant? I really haven’t gotten to...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    Understood. I already have a 308 though. So just wondering if the barrel can be sold alone? Never done it before, so don’t know...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    Quick question...right now, the 6.5CM barreled action that I wanted has shot up in price about $150 since I first looked at it...so, say I bought one of the cheap 308 actions that they have available...would the barrel have any value if I pulled it (without firing it)? Wondering if I’d be able...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for mid to higher end scope with reticles and I can actually see

    Macdaddy, It looks like they closed that link for the $750 LRHSi pre-order deal and reopened it as a package with the MUT tool like they had in the past for $800. Here’s the link: LRHSi 4.5-18x44

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    So for those citing the action as being smoother, does the gap between the two narrow after thousands of cycles? I will definitely try to handle the Tikka alongside a Howa to feel the difference before making a decision. Of slightly more concern is the after-market re-barreling selection...

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Thank you, that’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I’m used to shooting with an Aimpoint and other RDS’s on AR’s so having the “circle of death” would be somewhat similar in use when dialed all the way down if a snapshot needs to be made on game.

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    What makes the Tikka better? I have two options that I’m considering: Buy a Howa barrelled action and build exactly what I want with chassis, ect. OR Buy a Tikka CTR and shoot it (and learn a bunch) till the barrel wears out and then build it how I want. The only reason I would go the Tikka...

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    So it seems that these are the two that are always recommended for builds not going the custom route....so which one would y’all say is the best for the money? Which one is the better option for an action that you plan to build off of and replace barrels with? I’m sure they are both very...

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    I would probably be happy with the SWFA as well. But with the GAP deal out there, I may go that route first. I actually like the mil-quad reticle.

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Thanks. Good to hear the Bushnells hold up well. I’m leaning toward the LRHSi from GAP right now.

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    I’m leaning this way more and more. Can you comment on the 4.5x mag reticle usability as well?

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Wish I could afford that Leupold...much less the Tangent Theta lol. Thanks for weighing in. Can you comment on the PSTII 3-15x reticle usability on the 3x mag setting? Also, I’m standardized on all mil reticles, so MOA is out.

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Can you comment on how usable the reticle is on 4.5x for the LRHS? I imagine you can at least pick up the “circle of death”?

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    Thanks for the suggestion, and I do agree the XTRII is a good quality scope...just not really digging the reticles compared to the others. Not to mention, it looks like I can get about the same performance in a slightly lighter package.

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    This is pretty much how I’m leaning at this point. If you have had experience with the LRHSi and the PSTII 3-15x, can you comment on the usability of the reticle on the lowest setting?

    Rifle Scopes “Do All” Riflescope (Hunting/Tactical/PRS)

    I still have pretty good eyesight, so I didn’t figure I needed much more than 15x to get out to the ranges I want to. Aside from that, stepping up to bigger glass usually means heavier weight, so that’s another reason I was staying in that range.
