    Rifle Scopes Kahles 3-18 vs 5-25

    Well I just mailed a check for a 3.5-18x Kahles scope, used, from a fellow Snipershide member for a very good price. I’ll post a review after I put some rounds down range.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone mess with trijicon v cog 1-8 yet?

    I had the opposite experience at the NRA Convention. At 1x and 8x, I felt it was the easiest and clearest 1-8x optic I looked through during the show. Better than the S&B short dot dual, ATACR and the new Steiner 1-8x (which was the worst I looked through). The eyebox on the new vcog 1-8x was...

    Rifle Scopes SCAR 20S QD Mounts?

    I have a SCAR 17S with a Kahles 1-6x scope in an ADM delta mount. After 2000 rounds shot mostly suppressed, I have zero issues with the scope or the mount. For the SCAR, I see no issues with my Delta mount made by ADM, and I think you will be well served by one.

    Rifle Scopes Finally Arrived-S&B Short Dot Dual CC

    You just turn the dial to which mode you want: flash dot or reticle. At least that is what I did when I played with it. Strike eagle can say more about it. It was vert cool and easy to use. I just wish they would have used a 34 mm tube. I found it to be no better than the old 1-8x I looked...

    Rifle Scopes Finally Arrived-S&B Short Dot Dual CC

    I played with one at the NRA convention. For the money, I wasn’t that impressed compared to the ATACR or new VCOG. I felt those scopes produced a better image and were easier to get behind (eye box larger). The dual dot/reticle system is killer though. Let us know how it works while shooting.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles 3-18 vs 5-25

    Yeah, I’d like to know. I’ve heard so much about ZCO, but no product yet.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles 3-18 vs 5-25

    Is the ZCO 4-20x actually available? I won’t be shooting beyond 800 yards. Not sure if I need 36 mils of elevation

    Rifle Scopes Kahles 3-18 vs 5-25

    I went to the NRA show last weekend and looked through many different scopes for my Tikka CTR T3x .308 build (it is going into a Manners stock). I looked at Vortex, S&B, Steiner, NF, etc. My favorite hands down were the new Kahles, and I’m kicking myself for not buying one last spring. I have a...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner M6Xi

    The Steiner rep at the EuroOptic booth said their M6x 1-6 scope was discontinued in favor of the 1-8x scope and the issues they were having with it.

    Rifle Scopes Update Steiner M8Xi/Pictures

    The one I looked through had a dot in the middle that illuminates but I believe looked quite similar. The reticle was nice. My issue was the distortion at 1x and smaller eyebox than the ATACR.

    Rifle Scopes Update Steiner M8Xi/Pictures

    I looked through it at the NRA convention. Impressions: Illumination: Very good Eye box: Inferior to ATACR and the new VCOG 1-8x. Hence, harder to get behind. The new VCOG was the best in this dept. Optical clarity: Good but I saw some distortion on 1x. Was not happy about that given the...

    Any updates? Looks like the triggers are out of stock. I have been waiting for this trigger.

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    Got notice today that my PRS1TK stock with the DBMTK chassis designed for AICS magazines will ship 1st week of Feb. I originally wanted the Tikka magazine chassis but was told there was issues with it. I went ahead and paid the $1200 owed (mine has a bottom rail, flush cups for a sling...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    I ordered the PRS1TK with the DBMTK chassis designed for use with Tikka CTR mags. Original order was March and they quoted me mid-Sept ship date. Got an email last week saying they can’t get the Tikka magazine variant to work. I’ll have to go with an AICS style magazine. This sucks because I...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    I ordered a MCS-PRS1TK with the Tikka chassis for Tikka mags back in March. I’ve read on the forum that it’s undergoing a redesign? I tried messaging the Manners rep on this forum to no avail. I sent another e-mail, but the last one I sent a month ago went unanswered. It’s hard for me to call...

    Manners Tikka Mini Chassis

    I ordered mine in March; mine will use Tikka mags and apparently there was a design change. I emailed them again and have not heard back.

    Tikka T3x CTR issues with 168 grain .308 Prvi Match ammo

    Thanks for the replies. No I did nothing to the trigger. Everything is stock. I would definitely prefer a 2 stage trigger that is 4 lbs like my Geissele and Knights triggers on my ARs. Given I shot this alongside my SPR clone, I wonder now if I should have bought the Tac A1 model instead of...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K16i Who has one?

    I have one on my SCAR. The glass and eyebox are better than anything else I’ve tried in a 1-6x or 1-4x scope. I have a SM-1 reticule and it works for me. Daylight bright illumination. You can’t go wrong with it.

    Tikka T3x CTR issues with 168 grain .308 Prvi Match ammo

    Hi all, I finally got a chance to shoot my Tikka T3x CTR today at my local range. I used 5 rd and 10 rd mags with Federal 168 grain match and Black Hills 175 SMK. When I pulled out a box of Prvi Match 168 grain 308 rounds, I had a serious issue. I loaded 5 rounds in one magazine to start. As I...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I just ordered one of Manners’s new PRS style stocks that takes the Tikka T3x CTR (including CTR magazines). I will post a review whenever I get it in 4-6 months per the salesman. http://mannersstocks.com/tikka-stock-chassis/
