    Rifle Scopes Which would you pick? Viper PST 6-24 FFP vs Sightron SIII 6-24

    At full mag the Sightron has considerably better clarity than the Vortex. I really like the Sightron reticule better. I haven't destroyed either one of my scopes yet so I can't say anything about durability between the two but I'm guessing they are similar. IMO the Sightron has better turrets...

    Rifle Scopes Varmint scope for cheap...flamers welcome!

    The Nikon line of AR scopes is actually pretty good glass but it won't take long for you to hate the BDC reticule. I learned that one the hard way with a 4-16x42 223 scope. At 300 yards or so you'll find that BDC dot will cover up a small target pretty good, and unless you happen to load your...

    Rifle Scopes Best deal I have seen in a long time!!!

    I guess the CS scope maker looks at reticules like crabs, you can't have just one. Perhaps we might want to acknowledge that most all the gun rags lead people around like pedophiles with candy on a play ground. Look in the tactical-shmactical rags and you find all sorts of generally redundant...

    Rifle Scopes Best deal I have seen in a long time!!!

    With a name like "Counter Sniper" how can you go wrong? All the SWAT shooters have "counter sniper" scopes, right?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex scopes must have an awful lot of problems

    With all due, I can only relate my personal experiences with Vortex. Although I prefer my Sightron over the Vortex, the manner in which Vortex responded and treated me, including sending me the return authorization without me asking for one, has me thinking this is a company I will enjoy...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron S3 or vortex viper pst?

    Rifle Scopes Sightron S3 or vortex viper pst?

    One of the best posts in this thread. When I read about throwing .308 Winchester a mile at steel I almost choked on my coffee. it can be done but the scope mounts will be pretty damn tall or the hold over will be like a moon shot. BTW, I've found the Sightron 6-24x50 LRMOA-MOA2 in SFP to be...

    Rifle Scopes scope bottomed out

    Just for the heck of it, have you tried bore sighting? Securely prop up the rifle, remove the bolt, look through the barrel to find a distinct object 50 to 100 yards away, then try to match the reticule to the bore picture. The Model 10 should be able to handle the rail and scope combo and...

    Rifle Scopes scope bottomed out

    Check your base again. The thick end goes to the back. Looking at the advertising the 70 minutes sounds right. Toss in another 20 for the rail. I don't have a Bushnell but I have another 6-24x50 scope and a 20 minute rail on a Model 10 with absolutely no adjustment issues either way. One...

    Rifle Scopes First LR scope- realistic options?

    I have the same "conditional" requirements the OP does, but I can't afford Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Rolls Royce. I've tried a few of the better rated but lower priced brands and come to the conclusion for a price under $900 the best selection I've found is Sightron. The only negative with...

    Rifle Scopes What is the best 5.56 scope?

    I've read a lot of your posts, many very tongue in cheek. This time I agree with you. The Nikon 223 in 4-16x42 is a very nice scope for an AR and their single mount arrangement is outstanding. You really don't have to spend all of the deployment bonus on 1 piece of glass. I have one and like...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex scopes must have an awful lot of problems

    Not long ago I bought a Vortex 6-24x50 Viper HS in MOA for my .308. Works good, nice resolution, holds a zero, and lets me put rounds where I want them to be. Little short on elevation adjustment but that was my fault for not paying more attention to the numbers in the advertisement. A new...

    Rifle Scopes Tried our my new Vortex HS-t MOA scope

    Glad yours has worked out that well. I bought a Vortex 6-24x50 Viper HS in MOA and the glass is sort of hazy and washes out colors a little. It's accurate but not a clean view.

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady AMAX for hunting?

    Bodywerks, I had a conversation a couple weeks ago with the gentleman that does reloads for me. He mentioned he had been having some issues with run out when pressing Berger's and A-Max. I think he uses Redding equipment but cannot assure. In any case, he did some deep investigating and...

    Rifle Scopes Advice Request - Howa M 1500 and IOR 6 - 24 x 50 IL

    I have a .308 Howa 1500, last years Varminter Model. The rifle came with a flat base but I later needed an MOA base for longer shooting. I had a similar dilemma in not knowing what to buy. I found the answers, inexpensive compared to most others, at EGW. They carry a full line of bases for...

    Rifle Scopes Is the factory mount any good ?

    Vortex makes some pretty good rings and reasonably priced. It may be a secret but the package of the ones I bought mentioned they were actually made by Warne.

    Rifle Scopes 1,000 Yard Scope

    How much are you willing to spend to shoot over 1k yards? Even doing your own loads the .338 will set you back some pretty good change. If you're not looking to shoot a mile or more consider the various 6.5 calibers. Much longer and flatter shooting than the .308 (I have both, and like both)...
