    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    Wow! I bought a Sightron 5-40x56mm a couple of years back with zero problems, and now I hear he has turned bad!

    224 Valkyrie AR-15 Bolt carrier is not staying open on last shot

    It's 90 degrees. Shooting off a bench with a brass-catching screen clamped to the bench. The load with 25grs of Re#15.5 behind a 75gr bullet bolt stayed open, and 25grs of Re#15 behind a 60gr bullet stayed open. But 28grs of 2000MR behind an 80.5 gr bullet didn't lock back. Also, I was getting...

    224 Valkyrie AR-15 Bolt carrier is not staying open on last shot

    I was shooting my 224 Val yesterday, testing loads with Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR Ended at 28grs behind 80.5 gr Berger Full Bore average velocity 2947 FPS out of a 23" Krieger bbl. But the action wouldn't lock open upon the last round fired. BUT loads with 25grs of Re#15.5 pushing 75gr ELD...

    .224 Valkyrie

    Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR is nearly impossible to obtain. If I found some online with Hazard and shipping fees, it would be almost $90 a lb. A gun store known for its high price had some for $69 a lb. Well, now I have some. I have some 75gr ELD and 80.5 Berger Full bore. Does anyone have any...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7 - 35 X 56, new hotness in hand

    I just returned from the Prairie dog fields of Montana. My 7-35x56 ATACR was awesome, with no problems. I also brought my Sightron SV3 5-40x56mmED glass.(LRM reticle) I also had zero problems with that scope. But I do like the reticle on the ATACR better(1 Mil-R) I think the optics of the two...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron sviii 5-40x56

    I have that scope 5-40x56mm, and I just returned from a Prairie dog shoot in Montana. I also had Night Force ATACR 7-35x56mm. The glass between the two is equal, and I like the reticle in the ATACR better. I highly recommend this specific Sightron 5-40x56

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon Tenmile 4.5-30x56 Vs. Vortex Razor HD Gen II

    Sightron just came out with their own ED glass. They call it an S6 5-30x56mm

    March 5-40x56 vs sightron 5-40x56

    I wish you could compare the glass side by side. I have that Sightron scope and an ATCAR, and the glass between the two is even. Turrets might be better on the ATCAR. I've never looked through a MARCH scope.

    Two sizing dies

    Your answer makes perfect sense. With Alpha Munitions brass .0005 tension I can just about seat the bullet by hand but with Lupua brass it's just fine. So I figure I'll use the forester die with Alpha brass.

    Two sizing dies

    6mm Creedmoor Alpha munitions brass. My Mighty Armory dies size the neck to .270,my Forester dies to .268. Neck measures with seated bullet .2705 So the Forester has .002 more neck tension than the Mighty Armory. Is this significant?

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SVIII 5-40x56 ED

    Arken ! Now we know you are smoking something. The Sightron S3 series rifle scopes can't hold a candle to SV111 5-40x56ED scopes, it's a different animal.

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SVIII 5-40x56 ED

    I was shooting today with my 7-35x56 ATCAR and Sightron 111ED 5-40-x56mm. Today the Sightron had a slightly better image. Thank you, FL410, for your comments about the ZCO. I was thinking of selling the ATACR and upgrading to the ZCO. Not now . Best part was I bought my Sightron from Liberty...
