    Rifle Scopes FFP Why would one have one if?

    +1. Exactly right. I seldom dial for wind, I use my holds. If I see my POI was 3 hash marks to the left, I know to hold 3 hash marks to the right. It doesn't matter what power you are on.

    Rifle Scopes What does a hard run optic look like?

    The easiest way to make something look used is to spaypaint it. Paint wears just by looking at it.

    In five years, who the hell is going to remember what month they were first for sale?

    Rifle Scopes Offensive title changed lol. Scope rings broke, What do you suggest I buy now?

    I didnt say burris sucked. I know the limitations of steel screws + steel rings. That is why I prefer aluminum rings. I guess next time I spend 9 days in wet weather I should remove the scope every night and oil screws. LOL!!!!

    Worse grouping after new stock?

    Something is binding up -or- you need to clean your barrel -or- scope, -or-...

    Rifle Scopes Offensive title changed lol. Scope rings broke, What do you suggest I buy now?

    No, but the OP is entitled to his opinion. His rings broke. I've never broken a set of rings, had to cut a set of Burris apart once when everything rusted together during a hunt, but that is about it.

    If they broke, then I think the OP is allowed to conclude they suck. Seems like an odd place to break if he over torqued.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15x50 Feedback

    Based on the failure rate I have had with the standard Conquest, I would be very leery to drop money on an HD5. Regarding the Nikon...the BDC reticle has to be the worst reticle ever...Does anyone at Nikon actually shoot?

    Rifle Scopes High Speed Turrets

    My Nightforce has "high speed". The difference is you get twice the elevation adjustment per revolution. The old turret only went to 10 before you passed zero. The new ones go to 20. I can get almost to 1000yds without even passing the zero mark. In my opinion, it makes zero stop kind of...

    Rifle Scopes Warranty service?

    Zeiss quoted me three more months to repair a Conquest that they already had for a month.

    Rifle Scopes Is Glass quality Bullsh*t? Or is it me?

    A. the OP needs his eyes checked. B. if you actually use a scope you will know why a Nightforce is $1600 and a Barska is not. Twisting turrets and subjecting a scope to hundreds of rounds will quickly weed out the trash. I've killed two Conquests on a 243. My Nightforce keeps on working.

    Well so I guess they really are bad.

    Those triggers make great decoy weights.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Customer Service isn't

    On a side note, I don't store my range-finder or GPS with batteries in it. I put the battery back in when I am ready to use it. I had a couple go bad when the batteries leaked.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 260 rem vs 6.5/06 what to do!

    had a couple 6.5-06, if I did it over I would do the 6.5-284.

    Rifle Scopes What is the real word difference? (FFP and SFP)

    Ranging and hold overs are still an option with a SFP, you just need to be on high power. The only time I could see it being a problem is if you are in a timed event and you want your scope on a lower power to quickly locate them and range them.

    Rifle Scopes Should I dish out the Cash for a S&B or Stick with the Leupold

    Leupold vs. Schmidt...LOL Isn't it obvious?

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes

    I didn't know if Burris had a required minimum price such as Leupold. I worked for a company that had a rule that dealers could sell for any price they wanted, but could only advertise at the predetermined price.

    Rifle Scopes bushnell elite 3.5-21 hdmr reticle failure!!!!

    Anything has got to be better than Zeiss. I sent them a Conquest a month ago, they told me 12 more weeks for repairs! Nothing like losing a scope for a whole summer. Good to hear Bushnell is taking care of you.

    Gunsmithing Bedding Compounds? Devcon still the standard?

    I've used Devcon, Marine Tex, and JB Weld. I actually think JB worked the best. a 1:1 mixing ratio and the thinner epoxy flows well. I think Devcon is hardest to work with. That stuff can be hard to get to flow out of the recoil lug recess and can lift your action up. Just my opinion...

    McMillan lead time

    McMillan has a lot of options, but fortunately they aren't the only game in town. I'm trying Manners next time.
