    Rifle Scopes Conquest vs. Nightforce.

    Re: Conquest vs. Nightforce. I'd be concerned about a 32 power hunting scope giving you issues in low light. If you are like me, I am constantly needing my optics to seen in low light conditions during hunting situations. Plus, 10x is plenty of power to shoot big game at long range, so...

    Rifle Scopes NF 2.5-10 owners - Do you wish you had parallax..

    Re: NF 2.5-10 owners - Do you wish you had parallax.. I'm not a huge NF fan, (they do make good scopes, just not my cup of tea) but I'll tell you...they got that scope right. I've got one on my JP CTR-02 which I use for 3 gun and it is a fantastic scope for that application. Especially when...

    Rifle Scopes Baking Duracoat on Optics?

    Re: Baking Duracoat on Optics? I paint a lot of guns. I essentially do it semi-professionally. There is absolutely no reason to bake an optic which you have painted with Duracoat. As other have said, all it does it speed up the curing process a little. Frankly, it's cured about the same...

    Photos Toys back from Phantom Finishing

    Re: Toys back from Phantom Finishing That's good work. On the MC you look for whether or not the painter blended the two tones of green together, and the two brown tones together. Phantom did on your piece, nice job. Good colors too.

    6.5 - 284 loads?

    I can't seem to find info on the depot for the 6.5-284, did I miss it? Anyone got any pointers/loads? I've read the 6mmbr page. My gun is in the process of being built by KK Jense on a long action from defiance machine. Will be able to run the 139's out there quite a ways... Thanks for...

    Reloading For .260

    Re: Reloading For .260 I've loaded quite a bit of .260 in both a bolt gun (for hunting) and a GAP AR-10 for competition. I couldn't get the berger 140 to shoot well in either of my guns. Too long for the mags too, the bullet was way down in the case. GAP advised me that it was doubtful...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 6-24x50, Dead

    Re: IOR 6-24x50, Dead I bought a 3x18 SH edition (gen II) from Scott at LO. 2years and 2000 rounds later it rolled craps in the middle of a match. Couldn't find my receipt. Sent Scott an email on Sunday, had a copy in my inbox by Tuesday. Called IOR who was very helpful. Sent my scope in...

    Re: Shoots In Montana? PGS - are you kidding me? You're in Glasgow and you don't want to drive very far??!! Glascow is a LONG way from ANYWHERE! LOL!! Just kidding you... Are you looking for mainly long range shoots? 3 gun? Gary Marbut puts on a great long range match (NOT benchrest -...

    accu wedge

    I've got a little slop in my .308 DPMS upper/lower. Do the accu wedges work in the .308's or just .223? If they do work, would you recommend them? Thanks for the input.

    Re: Digital Camo 1st Attempt Nice job! Looks like you canted the digital stripes forward (kind of like Tiger Stripe)? Nice touch. I see you're dealing with the bane of all gun painters...how to deal with the rubber on the lens caps. I have yet to find a really good solution. Everything...

    Maggie’s Most impressive shot?

    Re: Most impressive shot? Last week, my 15 yr old son and I were at the range. I was talking smack and told him I was going to shoot the wind indicator ribbon at 500 y (with my Savage Mod 12 .223). It was dead ass calm. He smirked and said, "yea..alright" and spotted for me. Close on my...

    Rifle Scopes vortex knobs

    I have a Vortex 6x20x50mm (Viper, Dead Hold reticle). Any way to convert it to tactical knobs? (other than swapping it for a PST ) It has tall, but capped knobs now. You can take the caps off, but the underlying knobs are IMHO so-so as tactical type knobs. I don't think the were really...
