    Rifle Scopes Alternative for Nightforce 2.5-10

    I got one of the first vortex 2.5-10x32, under serial number 100, and have been using it for about 6 months. It is an awesome little scope. I have not had that "I need to replace this scope" feel of disappointment yet. Really just the opposite. I'm glad they made the scope and that I bought...

    Dillon makes an electric case trimmer that you mount in your press. I have it mounted in a station on my 1050 and it works like a champ. Dillon's Rapid Trim 1200B Case Trimmer: Case Preparation Equipment

    New Safe $4-5k budget. Where to buy?

    Some good and strange advice here. The best thing I found was to look around and find someone local who I knowledgable. Be patient and spend some time really looking. Someone local will know where to find deals on both new and used safes. Looked for a group locally that is paid by companies...

    Building a Utility Rifle

    I did something similar although slightly more expensive since I turned it into a custom build. I started with a Used remington 700 that shot like crap so I paid practically nothing. Hs precision takeoff stock - bought here used for $200 and inlet by badger for $75. Used Badger DBM with a...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Vortex Razor 1-6x HD?

    I looked at the vortex quite a bit when looking for a scope for my16" precision ar. I ended up with the Leupold mk6 just because it had a few tactical features I wanted. The scope is awesome and would be right at home on the rifle. This scope with the extra 2x over the 1-4 actually gives you...

    Front Support: Accuracy vs Portability?

    This is going to be the hands down most common situation. Without having a bench rest accuracy capable rifle I see no reason to brace the rifle in such a manner. I could see some preferring the bench rest method during load development or sight in procedures. At the range I use the bipod and...

    Rifle Scopes Best choices for 9" AR platform 300BO

    For the 2.5-10x32 I have the vortex PST. I think it is better than the ior. I had both and i think it really comes sown to bang for the buck. It would be a good precision choice. I would also look at the leupold or vortex 1-6 options. Both great scopes. You have lits of good choices but it...

    Need some advise on what gear I'm missing

    Just a follow up on my experience getting into long range shooting. I had a buddy who was a police sniper and made a bunch of gear recommendations that I eventually researched on the net and bought most of what he suggested. I spent several grand for everything. Turns out the recommendations...

    Rifle Scopes Accuracy 1st Level

    Thanks I am familiar with the issue but had never seen that thread. Interesting example. I am curious at what distance you can self identify that you are missing your mark, or getting a poi shift, based on what you are seeing down range as a result of a canted reticle. I would have to...

    Need some advise on what gear I'm missing

    Central Virginia Tactical is in Louisa, Virginia. It is a couple hour drive for you. It used to be run by Vern Harrison but has since been handed off to Ed Shell. It is a great place to shoot. I don't know if they shoot at the farm or the mountain now but the facilities are great for...

    Rifle Scopes Levels: Picatinny rail mounted vs. scope tube mounted?

    The USO level is great and works just fine under a 34 or 35 mm tube. They used to have two different tightening knobs to choose from. If they still do get the shorter knob for the bigger tubes. I also have a flatline mounted on another scope. The only real functional difference after the...

    Spotting scope vs binos

    If you're looking for more magnification to fill the gap between binos and spotting scopes Steiner makes some higher power 15-20x binos. They are really great on a tripod for long hours of observation. I am sure there are other manufactures out there that have a similar product as well.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone else anxiously awaiting a new Vortex?

    I have been using the 2.5-12x32 for a couple of months and really love this scope. It is really bright and clear for the price point. The weight makes the scope very attractive and keeps me coming back. The wait was well worth it.

    What Thickness of AR500 for My Range

    I used a company called Las Vegas steel when I helped a buddy set up a range and would suggest calling a mfg. LV Steel was able to answer your question, which was our question at the time, with a lot of detail. We came up with the most affordable combo and it worked out well. We used thinner...
