    Rifle Scopes Dumb NF question

    Re: Dumb NF question Get the NF rings! No lapping or other mess to deal with. Throw them on and your done. I dont know why NF charges the same for the steel and the aluminum, but its your choice of metals. Good Luck

    Rifle Scopes Eye RX question

    Re: Eye RX question Actually, what Rookie is talking about is a common practice in the eye world. My Dad had eye surgery and they corrected his eyes differently (one near and one far) and his eyes and brain picked it up as even so he sees well that way. The nearer your presecription, the...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax Question

    Re: Parallax Question IF your asking if you have a great scope, that is answered in your ability to hit the target. Shadowing doesnt increase with the price of the scope. Shadowing will increase with the size of the eye relief. Shadowing is simply caused by your eye being too close or too...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper and PST questions

    Re: Vortex Viper and PST questions Not sure about the HD glass. I have seen the Swarovski HD spotting scope and it is great. I have heard that the difference between Vortex's ED line and the regular line of glass is marginal at best and not worth the difference in price. Please dont take...

    Rifle Scopes 3-12 50 mm mil dot suggestions

    Re: 3-12 50 mm mil dot suggestions Looks like Hudisco's scope is made by Zeiss, therefore it should have great glass and be good to go for low light engagements. I personally use my NF and it works fine for coyotes here. I love shooting coyotes and you can get the new NF's with the .1 mil...

    Rifle Scopes eo tech base????

    Re: eo tech base???? Personally I would encourage you to go with an Aimpoint, but that is another debate. Just like you stated, you really have to get down behing the eo-tech. Brownells and Botach Tactical sell riser mounts that you can buy from 1/2" to 1". They are not throw mounts, but...

    Rifle Scopes parallax adj. on a 22 trainer scope?

    Re: parallax adj. on a 22 trainer scope? I would like to have the parallax adjustment on my .22's but some of them I own dont. I dont shhot my .22's out to 200 yards, but most of my scopes that are designed for a .22 are set for 50-100 yards, so parallax isnt a huge issue. If you are gonna...

    Rifle Scopes nightforce 1st focal plane...yes'? or no?

    Re: nightforce 1st focal plane...yes'? or no? Even if they said no over the phone, eventually they are going to have to make one. With more and more people shooting the bigger caliber guns, the demand for a FFP tactical scope with a higher magnifiaction will be there. I am sure, just as...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Mornarch x or Zeiss Conquest??

    Re: Nikon Mornarch x or Zeiss Conquest?? I think you would be very very happy with the Zeiss. Like the other suggestion above, avoid the Rapid Z reticle (good theory, but not a great practical application). Zeiss is easily comparable to the scopes that are priced around 1000-1800 price...

    Rifle Scopes acog eye relief

    Re: acog eye relief Personally I would run your ACOG towards the front or middle-front of the rail. It should offer a decent amount of eye relief. You are probably too close to the rear of the scope to get good eye relief if it is at the rear of the rail. I could be wrong if you are having...

    Rifle Scopes When to buy a scope?

    Re: When to buy a scope? I think you should get the Viper PST new. From what I have seen from Vortex, they are pulling out all the stops to make sure that there are no bugs with the scope, hence the late release date. Good on Vortex for that! Due to the extra care they are taking with the...

    Rifle Scopes Scoping a SOCOM 16

    Re: Scoping a SOCOM 16 Whatever you do, definitely let Springfield Armory do the lining up. They are good to go. I like the 2x8x30mm option also. Leupold makes a very nice scout scope Good Luck

    Rifle Scopes Lapping questions!!!

    Re: Lapping questions!!! You dont need to lap the NF rings or the Unimount if you are putting a NF scope in it. It should be a perfect fit. Good Luck

    Rifle Scopes $1400 scope choice

    Re: $1k scope choice I would take CST Tactical up on their special pricing, but if that's still too much, I would really look @ the Zeiss even though it is not FFP. I haven't seen the glass in the new Viper PST, but I think it is gonna be a great scope for the money and all the bells and...

    Rifle Scopes Which "lowest" rings/bases for NF 2.5-10x32?

    Re: Which "lowest" rings/bases for NF 2.5-10x32? I use the NF low rings. I also have a 20moa base, but I would encourage you to look @ Karsten adjustable cheek pieces. They are inexpensive, but great quality. I use one, and Karsten was awesome to work with. He personally will answer any...
