    Rifle Scopes NF Mil-C

    Im guessing you meant mil -R? What if I changed to h59? Would that be a significant change

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    How do you think these will compare to the minox zp8 or the S&B short dot? I love the MR10+ reticle an the dual focal plane illumination on the minox, and similar on the SB short dot

    Rifle Scopes NF Mil-C

    Think the Mil-C is a big upgrade over the Mil-R if not for long range precision shooting? I have the Mil-R on a atacr for a 308 gas gun and wondering if its worth the upgrade

    Rifle Scopes Tremor 2 vs 3

    Hey all, I was looking at the two tremor reticles for a gas gun 308. It seems the horus reticles and their utility have been discussed, and each of the T2/3 merits individually, but not so much a direct comparison between the two. This will not be going on a bolt gun and ranges 400-800yds...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce nxs vs mk6

    You are correct. And I have an atacr 4-16x42 F1 on my bolt gun that is a step above the nsx 3-15 at a shorter length. Im debating between similar sized and weight scopes for the scar 17

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce nxs vs mk6

    Looking at a 2.5-10x42 nsx vs the mk6 3-18 for a scar 17 in a dmr /spr role. thoughts?

    Fn scar 17 color

    Factory FDE can definitely be improved, I'm just wondering how the finish of cerakote is vs the factory anodizing

    Fn scar 17 color

    Dear all, wanted an opinion, I have a black scar 17 that Im thinking of getting a makeover for. I have the option of cerakoating it, or trying to sell/trade for an fde. What are your thoughts? With cerakoating I can make it more custom, but its not the factory OG FDE anodizing. Will...

    Rifle Scopes Should I trade my kahles K16i

    Have a basically brand new kahles K16i. Shot < 200rds and went back to my aimpoint micro. Thinking about keeping it, but also thinking about trading it for something different. Looking for a leupold mk8 or minox zp8 with MR+ reticle in some type of trade possibly. Have it currently up for trade...

    Rifle Scopes NF atacr vs minox ZP5

    Heard the minox is pretty durable too. Is it pretty much a wash between the two in terms of durability with a slight edge on glass vs reticle choice to the minox?

    Rifle Scopes NF atacr vs minox ZP5

    Thank you all for the input. The mark 6 is very intriguing. I guess the daylight bright illum is not as big a deal as at even the 3x if I ever go that low, I think the MR5 or MR2 reticles are probably pretty well visible. Anyone think the NF atacr is too far behind?

    Rifle Scopes NF atacr vs minox ZP5

    I know this is probably a beaten dead horse in hades but I was looking at USO vs the NSX for my scar MK17, then I started looking at slightly higher magnification as I already have a kahles k16i for the 1-6 range. While if I had oodles of money I would look at the tangent theta or S&B, I was...

    Rifle Scopes USO 1.8 -10x vs Nightforce 2.5-10x for Scar 17s

    I guess with myself having a kahles k16i on one of my ARs and an aimpoint micro on another, I'm looking for something different for the 17s. I've heard of Tangent theta, but I feel like that is jesus scope money, and not sure it will be better than a NF atacr that would justify nearly twice the cost

    Rifle Scopes USO 1.8 -10x vs Nightforce 2.5-10x for Scar 17s

    I'm just trying to get a feel for what people who used the scar thinks works. I'm definitely open to a 3-12, but if its going to be too much power for the round in the scar platform, and limit the scar to basically prone or benchrest shooting, then maybe not so much. Then again, I can swap...

    Rifle Scopes USO 1.8 -10x vs Nightforce 2.5-10x for Scar 17s

    This exactly. Maybe "brick" was a hurtful term. I personally love the way my "brick" looks. I don't really think that 17x top end is really what the scar was intended for and for that role, we are talking swapping out barrels and making this a dedicated benchrest gun for precision long distance...

    Rifle Scopes USO 1.8 -10x vs Nightforce 2.5-10x for Scar 17s

    So sounding like nay on the USO? I guess I'm a little skeptical of a FFP reticle at 1.8x. Which also makes me look at the 3-x magnification like the B17, NF ATACR etc, but then you are making the scar 17 a bigger brick than it already is and I'm not sure I'd get the benefit of such high power...

    Any other suggestions for a similar magnification range scope?

    Rifle Scopes USO 1.8 -10x vs Nightforce 2.5-10x for Scar 17s

    Re-doing (and rethinking) my optics for my ARs and Scar 17. A background, have 2 ARs, one has a RDS, and the other a 1-6x variable. My scar 17 currently needs an optic. I'm deciding whether to go a dedicated long range optic (something in the 3 or 5-x) or looking at something like the USO BT10...

    RIP Mikhail Kalashnikov

    Well at least if you ran out of ammo you could always club the guy with the butt end

    Rifle Scopes Home on leave, looking at IOR scope

    LRTI. Do you think it was the scar that did that to the spartan or something with the spartan itself? There are reports (all second hand) that maybe the scar 17's recoil impulse messes with certain optics. The nightforce 2.5-10 is specifically mentioned as one od the scopes that are gtg and not...
