    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56mm PM II/LP elevation adjustment range help

    The 30mils is TOTAL adjustment. Up and down. If you got zeroed and have 19 mils of upward adjustment you are totally fine. On my 6.5CM, I’m 25mils to 1760 (mile). So I can dial 19, and hold 6 to get there. And, I have, that’s how I know. 19 mils of up travel is fine, and seems perfectly normal...

    Rifle Scopes Learning curve

    I seriously made the change in less than one shooting session. If you use your reticle to measure your miss, you simply adjust to that. When sighting in, shoot a group. Read your reticle to see how many lines you need to turn L/R or U/D. Then adjust to that. I don’t think in moa, I think “how...

    Range Report Which Ballistic Coefficient Should I Use? (Hornady ELDM)

    Should have made myself more clear. If you use Applied Ballistics for your ballistic app, you can buy the Custom Drag Models for $1.99. They test certain bullets (TONS OF THEM) and will provide you with the info. It’s based off tons of real world testing, not just G1 and G7 BC’s. You input your...

    PRS Talk pants?

    I wear this “style” of pant every day for work, so I have developed some opinions. From a budget standpoint, the LA Police Gear are hard to beat. Solid pants that won’t break the bank. The 5.11 pants are excellent. Little more $$, but definitely fit great, and have a bit of stretch. The...

    Daniel Defense bolt action

    It’s a VERY crowded market, filled with some solid players. I feel like now is a TOUGH time to try to break into any market firearms related. The saturation point is here I feel. BUT Marty sure didn’t ask me. Growth and competition continues to keep the market healthy, and is better for the...

    Against the grain?

    My shooting partner made this observation JUST yesterday: “Don’t be too tied up in your gear. Don’t be impressed if you’re rocking an AI with a NF ATACR 5-25 H59, and an Atlas bi-pod. The guy that’s running the Cadex gun with the Tangent Theta isn’t going to be impressed with your “basic” gear...

    New to PRS is the Ruger RPR a good first gun?

    My good shooting buddy has a RPR in 6.5CM. It’s his first “precision” rifle. He put a Razor 4.5-27 on it, bought here on The Hide for $1900. So, for UNDER $3k he has a legitimate rifle that I’ve personally seen him shoot .6moa 5 shot groups, and I’ve seen a couple go sub .5moa. This is a...

    Rifle Scopes TT315 or S&B

    You also asked for a vs. S&B. In the S&B family there is the 3-20 regular and the US. For a S/A rifle the 3-20 is an amazing optic. I’m not positive because I have the H2CMR in mine, but they might do a H59 (again, I’m NOT sure) but in a gasser, that would be a HELL aid a neat optic for quite a...

    Range Report Which Ballistic Coefficient Should I Use? (Hornady ELDM)

    Or you could just go with Applied Ballistics CDM. They’re $1.99, and I have found every single one to be spot on out to 1000yds first round. Just a suggestion.

    There’s nothing from 2009 that can be compared to today. Throw that away and start fresh.

    Rifle Scopes suggestions for a dot center or open center reticle in MOA

    My ATACR H59 has an awesome center dot for small aiming. I absolutely love it. If you like the H59 or not is the big question. I was making hits with my KAC ACC .308 yesterday out at 333/445/550/650 and never touched my turret. Personal preference, but it certainly has the dot.

    WOA SPR 18 Accuracy AR-15

    My question is this: have you tried Federal GMM 69 and/or 77 gr ? Those two loads have always been my “control “ loads. If a barrel won’t shoot one of those two well, the barrel or the shooter is the issue. You can fine tune and adjust from there. Buddy of mine just got his Compass Lake barrel...

    Rifle Scopes 18.5'' bbl .308 needs a 1-8x ffp

    I have to say, though it may not be what you want, 308Pirate is giving you some very solid advise. With all due respect: “you don’t know what you don’t know.” I would concur that you need to get set up with someone, be it a class, a vetted, experienced friend, an instructor of some type and...

    Rifle Scopes New vs Used- making the most of your scope budget.

    Without getting into the weeds on specific brands and choices, I’ll just say this: Vortex should be divided into 2 companies. Top is the Razor line. Under that is EVERYTHING else they do. I, as well as SEVERAL folks I know, have had to send Vortex products that are UNDER the Razor line back for...

    Rifle Scopes Scope and Mounts for Large Frame Precision AR

    In my opinion there are 2 different “options” when looking at installing glass on a gasser. If you’re looking at a fast and nimble DMR type rifle, one that may be pushed into a CQB role, then you should be looking at a LPVO. In my experience, the NF ATACR 1-8 has that catagory locked up right...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD2 vs...

    You’re comparing two very different designs between the ATACR 1-8 and the Razor 1-6. The ATACR is FFP, vs the Razor SFP. Buy virtue of how they are made, the Razor is going to have a “bigger, more forgiving eye box.” It has to do with where the reticle is placed in the body of the scope. The SFP...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-10 Scope Search, NF?

    Man.....easy choice: for $1000 street price, get the NF SHV 4-14 F1 in Mil R. I had one, and they are fantastic. I’ve had the NXS 2.5-10X24, and unless you’re doing a clone build, and NEED that scope, the SHV 4-14 is better. I loved mine, and ONLY replaced it for another NF. No Vortex or NXS...

    Rifle Scopes nf nxs==>shv; vortex razor hd gen2==>?

    I’m here to tell you, the SHV 4-14 F1 that I had was a fantastic scope for the $$. In that category, I found it FANTASTIC. My only “complaint “ was the 5 mil turrets. The glass was solid, the scope tracked perfectly. I did a box test with it, 5 mils left, 5 up, 10 right, 5 down, and finally, 5...

    SCAR 20S optic choice?

    That’s a very silly thing to say unless you’ve been behind one. I am SUPER comfortable using my ATACR 1-8 out to 800 yds, and last Friday, was hitting at 1000 yds with my KAC ACC and my 1-8. You can say “for me that doesn’t work...” but to imply that guys who are doing it, and making the hits...
