    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II Rifle Scopes

    Serious question, "can't" or "won't"?

    Recoil killed my rings!

    It just depends on ring height. My scope is sitting in TPS extra-lows. A low or medium would move your bell even further from the rail.

    McMillan lead time

    Ordered one in November, just got it. You are looking at a solid 8 months.

    Recoil killed my rings!

    EGW HD 20MOA. Best part about the EGW HD is even though it is a 20moa, it is still low in the back. Even though it hangs over the front of the receiver, my Nightforce 3.5-15x50 does not touch it.

    Rifle Scopes Nikko Stirling, Millett, Ade advanced optics.

    That philosophy is great, if you have an extra scope laying around. Otherwise you sit around with your thumb up your ass and not shooting, while you save your money for a scope.

    Torn between two rifles for my first "real" bolt gun

    Tikka = side bolt release, safe and adjustable trigger, sako extractor, 70 degree bolt lift, removable bolt handle. What does Remington bring to the table?

    Tikka for the win. Been there, done that.

    The Burris C4 is a great budget priced scope. Get one with a standard MOA turret. If you remove the rubber o-ring under the elevation turret it makes the turret crisp, not squishy.

    Rifle Scopes Big game hunting scopes!

    My go to gun wears a 3.5-15 NXS. Waiting a year to hunt, and only getting a week can justify bomb-proof optics.

    Gunsmithing help with bedding problem

    What do you think cranking those screws to 65 accomplishes that 40 doesn't?

    Rifle Scopes nightforce F1 parallax adjustment - Do I need to be at the range to set this up?

    A video on how to focus an optic. Sigh...just look at the sky and turn eyepiece until the reticle is crisp. For parallax, it changes all the time. Just turn the knob until the target is crisp. No different than focusing your binos. Move eye side to side to confirm the reticle doesn't wander.

    Gunsmithing help with bedding problem

    65 inch lbs is pretty damn tight. My gunsmith suggests 35-40. Works for me. I usually do 40 on everthing with blue locktite.

    Thoughts on 22-250AI Fast Twist?

    I'd go standard 22-250 if I could do it over. Fire forming sucks and does nothing but waste barrel life, especially on a short lived barrel due to a hot rod round.

    Rifle Scopes Trade - NF NXS for SS HD?

    Keep the Nightforce. SFP are nice if you like to hunt. A FFP scope with no illumination will have a pretty faint reticle on low power in low light or timber.

    Rifle Scopes Seekins Rings, Bushnell LRHS, question - Uneven scope rings

    Just make sure side to side gap is the same. As far as comparing the gaps between the front and rear rings, I have seen this several times where there is a larger gap on the rear ring compared to the fronts. Seen this several times with various rings and scope brands. Either the tube is larger...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Announces, 5-20x SHV Scope

    This could be devated forever. Lets say you decide against the MOAR reticle, you can get this one for $1566. Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 NP-R2 C231 What if the MSRP of the new SHV is fairly accurate? You are in over $1300 for less features, yet same weight. I'd wait a couple more months and get...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Announces, 5-20x SHV Scope

    That's my hang-up too. For a mere $300 more you can get a 5.5-22 NXS with the MOAR. Even less if you want a different reticle. And the NXS turrets go to 20MOA per revolution.
