    Rifle Scopes Question, scope design: Main tube

    For reference, consider a Nightforce NXS and a USO SN-3 TPAL with illumination. The Nightforce incorporates parallax, windage, and illumination in a small section of the central main tube (the saddle), and the USO uses a large part of the central main tube to accomplish the same thing with extra...

    Rifle Scopes ONGOING Changes at USO

    Re: Changes at USO Has USO decided to eliminate the fixed-power ST-6, ST-17, and the ST-22? I have been poking around on their web site and they seem to have disappeared sometime during the last 30 days. Only the ST-10 remains.

    Gunsmithing KMW Loggerhead on McM A3 by Stockdoc

    Up until recently I owned two FN SPR. One was in a McMillan A4 stock and the other in an A3. The A4 had a saddle-type cheek piece and it kept slipping during the course of shooting. Its inadequacy for me became evident when I took a long range shooting class this summer at CVT Tactical with Ed...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Prices Seem Much Higher

    I've owned Leupold scopes for years, then finally stepped up to a USO ST-17. I've stayed there for a while. I just decided to shop for another scope because I like the mil/mil turrets and reticle, unlike the (heretofore) moa/mil turrets and reticle of the Leupolds I have. I have casually...

    McMillan thumbwheel or clamp bar for cheek rest?

    Re: McMillan thumbwheel or clamp bar for cheek rest? Of course they don't advertise an unstable cheek piece, but they do recognize the deficiencies of the original design. Recommendation to add set screws is here: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...931#Post2995931 I suppose a new...

    McMillan thumbwheel or clamp bar for cheek rest?

    I have McMillan stocks with the saddle cheek rest. They loosen with cheek pressure and recoil. I know that set screws on the opposite side are recommended. Between the thumbwheel and the clamp bar, which is the most stable under cheek pressure and recoil?

    Mildot Master for sub-mil ranging

    I knee-jerked a purchase of a Mildot Master so I could stop taking my vintage HP-11C calculator to the range. It looks like the ranging begins at anything that subtends 1.0 mil, but nothing less. I tried to line up 24" at 0.7 mils and - piss - nothing. Am I missing something, or did Mildot...
