    Which rangefinder?

    I had one of the leupolds and it was solid.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for lightweight, quality scope recommendations

    So many great choices, and I appreciate everyone that chimed in. I do shoot further than 500 yards, so that is the reason for turrets. I should have been more concise in my original post. Couple good replies about not worrying about 3-4 oz of weight is great advice. I basically have 3-4 new...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for lightweight, quality scope recommendations

    Yes I love the Nightforce. Definitely a difference in the glass quality from the NSX line to the ATACR line, and therein is my issue with it. Outside of that, it would be my choice 100%.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for lightweight, quality scope recommendations

    Great suggestions everyone, thanks. I really like the Mark 5HD, discounted its a downright steal. But ugh...35MM tube? Not a lot of great choices out there ring wise unless I'm missing something. I'm guessing by the time you factor in the bigger ring weight, you are not saving much if any weight...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for lightweight, quality scope recommendations

    I just recieved my new rifle build a couple weeks ago, and I'm looking for some scope advice. The gun is a 7WSM, with Carbon Fiber barrel, and a Manners lightweight stock. Probably going to see most use as a carry type rifle for hunting Mule deer, Elk, etc. My last Elk hunt I carried my 300WSM...

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    Wow...that made a lot of sense. Please don’t stop contributing this wealth of knowledge to my thread, or for that matter, the entire SH forum. Lol.

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    Where did I say I couldn’t turn the illumination dial with my hand? I said it took significant effort with my fingers. Which as Patriot pointed out is common with some high end scopes. The only thing “stupid” here is the fact you have an issue with reading comprehension.

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    Lol...no kidding. Good old SH. You can always expect a smartass answer to an honest question. And you are exactly right- I have a couple scopes that the parallax and illumination knobs are stiff. Other SH members posted it was normal so I didn’t worry about it. Was just checking about this...

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    Thanks for the reply! My turret and parallax knobs are real easy to spin and it’s definitely disappointing to read there are hiccups on this scope especially with how pleased I was with the glass.

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    I received my 5-25 PST II last night and finally had some time to play around with it this morning. Glass looks really nice and reticle etchings are nice and sharp. Turret clicks are a bit soft and it’s almost too easy to rotate the turrets but I can live with it. Illumination knob doesn’t...

    Awesome! I like this version much better!

    Side bolt release..... who do you recomend?

    This hit at a good time. I'm thinking of getting mine done too. So far, the only 2 I've seen that would probably do a good job are Phoenix Custom and Short Action Customs.

    Gunsmithing Looking for someone to Microslick bolt

    Any suggestions on getting my fluted PTG bolt redone? Its currently matte black Cerakote, but I'd like to get it redone with the Microslick version. Thanks!

    Cutting foam in a pelican case

    If I could get someone to draw up the guns/parts in AutoCAD or Corel...I have a CNC Foam cutter that uses a very high temp wire to cut out whatever shapes I want. Its a 35K machine. If someone will draw the what they want, I can cut it.

    My way of getting Drop Data

    Thanks so much for these videos. I hope you don't mind a couple questions. Did you use a rangefinder to get your distances? Was there a reason the distances weren't even...say 500 vs 572, 1000 vs 1012 etc? Thanks in advance.

    Moon built 6.5x47 arrived

    I'm waiting on a Moon built 300 WSM on a Big Horn action, APA metal, and Bartlein barrel. Can't wait!

    PT&G Bolts

    I just went thru the same thing with my PTG Bolt....maybe you will get luckier than me but they told me 6-8 weeks and it was almost 5 months. Mine had the deep spiral flutes but still....5 months?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce v US Optics

    Glass is probably one of the biggest things discussed and debated on this board, at least in the short amount of time I've been here. You might not miss a shot because the glass isn't good enough in a NF...but can't you say the same thing about much lower priced scopes that have proven to track...
