    Rifle Scopes New S&B 10-60x

    I am thinking about getting one for 50BMG 1000 yard matches, waiting to see what people think of the parallax adjustments. On one of the fliers they say it is available with other reticles,....whatever that means...I doubt that matter to me. I like that it is MIL and .05 turrets :-) If there...

    US Optics customer service

    I just discovered this on my SN9, no idea when it happened, have not shot the scope much and at all for the last decade at least, clearly something is not right. I was more concerned about it until I saw this thread. Hopefully they will be able to service it, I do not expect it to be covered...

    50 BMG + Triebel Dies = Too much Neck Tension?

    Not sure it helps but a point of data for you, my expander mandrel is .507, I use Warner dies, my neck collet is .548 with solid brass bore-riders having a driving band of .5102 I have VERY light neck tension. These rounds could not be magazine feed, your can pull them apart with your hands...

    Does PMC 50BMG 660gr ammo come with good brass?

    Keith, I just happened to do a search on 50BMG reloading, your post came up. I would recommend going to a 50BMG match, 1/2 MOA is great....not as many matches as ELR or PRS by a ways but still a fun way to burn powder!!! Check out the FCSA if your interested!

    Rifle Scopes Parallax vs Image Focus

    Ok holy crap the torn retina symptoms I would notice...wow that is some scary sounding shit! But also VERY good to know thanks!! I am "only" 56, my cataracts were likely early for me due to so much high altitude flight, also in the Navy I was bad about wearing a tinted visor...half the time I...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax vs Image Focus

    Lenses, no they are not glass some special flexible plastic of some sort....this is the normal treatment for cataracts, as I understand it somepoint they used cadaver lenses, did not fact check that though. (google key words "cataract surgery" explains it all way more clear than I can) I can...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax vs Image Focus

    So to finally report back with all my results... Both eyes are done, I went with new lenses in my eyes by Bausch and Lomb called "Crystalens" (these lenses cost more but I highly recommend them) They let you focus up close and far using your original muscles that focused your eyes when you...

    Powder Splash With Auto Trickler & Area 419 Components

    Lint sheets.....interesting, I guess I am a bit leery about that in case whatever chemical in the lint sheet affects the powder.... I guess that is a question for a chemist. Going to try a grounded metal tray/funnel system first since that is easy for me to fabricate.

    Powder Splash With Auto Trickler & Area 419 Components

    JuantoPRS, I had the opposite problem, my original glass cup would drift like crazy. My issue was due to static charge caused by loading in a dry climate with a bit of wind outside. With a metal cup the problem went away at least mostly. Now that I knew static charge was my issue, I cut a...

    AutoTrickler V4

    I have a PM in with jthor, I have had some slight overshooting problems with Allaint RL50...I bet his nozzle will fix my occasional overshooting.

    AutoTrickler V4

    davethedog, Very interesting...I am thinking the printed components that come with the V4 specifically the hopper end that goes into the V4, instead of the clear hopper tube Adam ships with it I think I would just switch to aluminum. If you have a tight enough relationship with Adam maybe he...

    AutoTrickler V4

    I was a beta tester as well, messing with the setting helped me as well but I did discover what I think is an issue for people in dry climates. I originally tested the V4 in Prescott AZ where it was really dry. I have had static charge problems there before I had all kind of problems with the...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax vs Image Focus

    Not yet another few weeks before surgeries are done, going to try the new lenses that are supposed to give you a little bit of near vision. It takes a while, they do the non dominant eye first...then make sure you recover, then the dominant eye.

    Rifle Scopes Parallax vs Image Focus

    So a quick follow up, earlier I stated I need to check the diopter setting more and really spend some time with it, to get my Hensoldt 6-24x72mm parallax free, which I was never successful at. During range setup I happened to look through the scope with my left eye, holy crap it was like a new...

    Firearms AI AW50 full kit sale or trade for M107A1

    LFOD1776, I have been telling people about your rig for sale...lots of people over the years have said they wanted a rifle like mine....and well yours (I shoot in FCSA matches). Anyway when it comes down to an actual chance to pay money to own...less so. What reticle is in the SN9? "Kind" of...

    Firearms AI AW50 full kit sale or trade for M107A1

    Holy crap that freaky...I have an AI AW50, with SN9 and AAC Cyclops....pretty much the twin of your rifle. Found this sale since I was curious how much SN9s were going for if you could find them. Instead of a Lilja barrel I have a couple of Krieger barrels...so our rifles are totally...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner M7Xi Scope with Solver

    So I guess the 5600$ question is, with the changes to IFS be via a software update that can be applied to existing scopes, or will it also be a hardware update...another question for Steiner. Already have the Handsoldt SAM from way back...Perhaps best to wait until after SHOT...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner M7Xi Scope with Solver

    Did anyone ever get one of these with the IFS....thoughts? Any comparisons to the REVIC?

    Rifle Scopes Parallax vs Image Focus

    Thanks everyone! I will really really focus on getting the diopters correct and see what I get. My distance vision has been tested many times...so perhaps I have taken the diopters a little too lightly. Will report back with findings... Been tempted to sell the scope...it has been driving me...
