    Rifle Scopes NXS or ETR

    Just wondering what has the better eye box at full power? It’s going to be used mostly at full power for gongs and long range medium sized game. I know the NSX is sfp but still interested in opinions on the eye box.

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon Cronus BTR - very weak/mushy turret detent

    I have a Gen 1 Ares Btr and the turrets are disappointing. Athlon listened though and have since improved them on the newer model BTR, ETR and Midas Tac. It's weird that the Cronus is still lacking the tactile feel required when feedback has been so strong.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3!!!

    Loving the eye box chat. My pet hate on the Ares BTR is the eye box at top magnification. Can't wait for these to hit the shelves as there are some serious choices in the mid-price range now.

    Rifle Scopes Gen 2 razor is too heavy...

    That's a long ass barrel to carry! :LOL: A stock would make a huge difference especially if you have flush cups on the side and one of those TAB biathlon slings.... you may not need the drop in scope weight....

    Rifle Scopes Gen 2 razor is too heavy...

    Can I ask why you want a lighter scope? Doesnt look like your rifle is a hunting rig but I walk a fair bit with my ESS chassis around the area we hunt so some people do carry heavy rigs occasionally. I'm currently going over the pro's and cons of the Cronus, ETR, Optika 6 and Gen 2 Razor as I...

    Forgot to ask about cleaning also? Worth asking just to narrow down any possible oversight as they’re pretty easy to do when we just wanna shoot the tight group!

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Try the 130 from Prime? Those groups don’t sound too good and certainly suggests a small issue somewhere if they continue. Make sure there is nothing touching the barrel hidden somewhere in the channel? I’m using the 130g Creedmoor load from Norma and it shoots nicely so maybe Norma is an...

    I had great success with the 69 g TMK Sierra too loaded to mag length out of my 1-8 but the 75 ELDM wouldn’t fit in the mag.

    Looks like a CTR but could be a blued varmint that has has the chop.

    Rifle Scopes Meopta feedback

    A mate has the 2.5-15x56 with the turret upgrade. I try not to look through it every time I visit but it calls my name..... some of the nicest glass I have looked through. Wanna look through the Optika line so bad!!

    6.5 Creedmoor rifle

    B14 HMR or the Tikka Line up depending on your use really. Triggers in the Tikka are excellent and normally very accurate out of the box. The Bergara has more adjustment in the stock and looks to be very accurate. Also is the Rem 700 footprint so stocks are easy to find. Check out Franks...

    Rifle Scopes Scope leveling

    Another vote for the Arisaka tool. Have found it to be most excellent so far. If your scope is super low to the rail it does create a challenge though!

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    I am in the market for a new scope and have used the Meo Pro 4-12x50. A mate owns a couple of different models and they always impress with clarity and eye box so I have already hit the dealer up for when they arrive here in NZ. Was gonna get a ETR or Razor but this will hopefully fit the...

    First Custom Build

    Maybe the Burris XTR iii but the Ares ETR and Gen 2 Razor are well priced at the moment... depends on you desired weight really.

    Tikka 223 rifle build advice

    Hey man, I have a superlight in the MDT - ESS Chassis. It's a really nice fitting chassis and allows for plenty of adjustment. Should be a vendor in Aus (Cleaver?) that sells what ever you want and that barrel should run really well wit the heavier projectiles too.

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    Hi Doug, I see the 30x model only has the mil dot ret on the web site. Will they be adding the tree ret to that model too?

    Rifle Scopes sightron S-Tac 4-20x50 MOA vs Midas Tac MIL 6-24x50

    I have owned the S-Tac and have an Ares BTR. From what I read the Ares and Midas Tac share the same glass quality? If so then the Midas is your best bet as the tracking looks to be excellent on the reviews that I have read and seen. I found the Sightron too washed out and lacking warmth for my...
