    Rifle Scopes how not to pack a S&B 5-25 for USPS shipping

    If you ever have any issues or want it looked over please don't hesitate to send it to me at the service center. I'll be more than happy to personally give it a thorough check. Chances are pretty good it's OK but if a clean bill of health would remove any doubt just call me.

    Rifle Scopes Very disappointed with the new BC "tactical" flip ups....

    Yes, on most of my S&B's and they do hold up! I like the fact that they lock open and stay open. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

    Rifle Scopes Got my Counter Sniper mounted (WOW!!!WOW!!!WOW!!!)

    Funny you would ask that question. It was in fact a German color which was that of the German tank division in the Afrika Korps headed off by Erwin Rommel during the North African campaign of WWII. This color is certainly not new and has been around for quite a few years. With a name like "The...

    Rifle Scopes Advantages to 34,35 mm tubes

    The main advantage of using a larger diameter main tube that people most often overlook is that it allows you to use a larger diameter image erector system which in turn allows more light transmission and improved overall image quality. A one inch or even 30mm scope that offers loads of...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle help! H59 vs. TReMor reticle

    The 37 will give you 12.2 mil of holdover on 25x so that may be something to consider over the 8.2 offered by the TReMoR-2. If you intend to dial for correction at that distance it could be a toss up and pretty much come down to personal preference. Personally, I'm running a TReMoR-2 in a 5-25...

    Rifle Scopes What Horus reticle for S&B?

    The 37 has the center 2x2 mil (1 mil each direction from center) illuminated and every 2 mil interval below center. Also at 10 mil on the 6:00 stadia there is a single dot left and right of center 2 mil out and at 20 mil there are dots on each side at 2 and 4 mil left and right of center...

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    Marlin 17VS bedded in a Boyd's stock. Scope is S&B 3-12x50 PMII P with P4 sitting in an AI 18 moa mount. Haven't gotten around to painting the scope and mount yet, just got it on the rifle.

    Rifle Scopes What Horus reticle for S&B?

    That is not true. This is our H59 on 20x. Sorry for the phone pic but you get the point. Our H37 on 20x. It also has the dots at every two mil increments just as the H59 does.

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20 or 5-25 ? or something else maybe

    Correction, retail on the 5-20x50 is $3,499. You're thinking of the 3-27x56, retail on that is $5,599.

    Rifle Scopes H59 Reticle help!!

    Actually, yes we do. There were a few that got out that did not have the center dot or the dot at every two mil but most have been replaced. This problem was limited to the 3-20's and has not been present in the 5-25's.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Zenith Fire Dot visability

    The #9 is probably my favorite standard hunting reticle. Far more useful to me than a duplex. My eyes pick up the circle right away in low light or heavy vegetation and the fine cross makes those occasional long shots a breeze with minimal target coverage. I believe a turret conversion price...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Zenith Fire Dot visability

    FYI, it is called flash dot illumination. First pic illumination is on 7, second is on 11. This is the same as the original short dot where settings 1-4 are for use with night vision, 5 and 6 are for very low light and settings 7-11 are for bright ambient light. Most Zenith models are set up...

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    Kiwi, the scope has 40 MRAD of total internal travel. The knobs in the video are a locking single turn design which offer approximately 16.5 MRAD travel while the production units are intended to be released with the new double turn set up offering around 32 or 34 MRAD of travel. The double turn...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle help! H59 vs. TReMor reticle

    I am currently using both and can't really say I actually prefer one over the other. I have the TR-2 on a 22-250 AI varmint rifle that the wind dots happen to work out to 3 mph per dot and it works very well. I had an H58 in the scope prior to the TR-2 and had no problems whatsoever. However, I...

    Rifle Scopes To Much Additional Elevation?

    The manual does in fact recommend mounting the 5-25 on a 45 MOA rail but ONLY if the host weapon needs it, and most importantly can actually utilize that much adjustment. I have one on a 243 Ackley that I need less than 10 mil to get me to subsonic transition and have it mounted on a 20 MOA...
