    Rifle Scopes SWFA vs. Vortex

    Re: SWFA vs. Vortex I currently have a SS 5-20 on my OBR. The adjustments and glass are very nice. Was able to take a low light shot with it that I found impressive. However, it's not mine, I borrowedit from a friend. The scope performs as advertised but I won't buy one. The eye box is way to...

    Rifle Scopes 3gun optic selection....?

    Re: 3gun optic selection....? I've shot matches with a Leupold MK4 1.5-5x. True 1x is over rated in my opinion. At the same time, I think that a 1-10 would be too much. If you're shooting a Tac match it could be handy, I just don't think it's necessary. I have never seen a target that a 4x...

    Re: 3gun optic selection....? You absolutely should see for yourself. Scopes are very subjective.

    Rifle Scopes 3gun optic selection....?

    Re: 3gun optic selection....? Well, for 3 gun there is a point of diminished returns in my opinion. If I were to make a single recommendation, I'd recommend the Vortex 1-6x. Personally, I like the swaro but think its overpriced. That's the main reason I recommend staying in limited or irons...

    Rifle Scopes 3gun optic selection....?

    Re: 3gun optic selection....? For what it's worth, the Vortex 1-6x and Leupold MK6 1-6x are the nicest low powered variables I've seen for the money. The Vortex is a LOT of scope for the money!

    Rifle Scopes 3gun optic selection....?

    Re: 3gun optic selection....? I'm sure Horner runs what he's given. Perks for being the fastest man with a gun. He had a Leupold MK6 1-6x at the FB3G. That Kahles looks nice, but it's more expensive than a swaro. Most "local" non prize table matches will have shots as far as 300-400 Maybe...

    Rifle Scopes 3gun optic selection....?

    Re: 3gun optic selection....? I'd recommend you shoot irons or with a red dot for a couple of matches to see what you like. Look through some competitors scopes (with permission of course) and enjoy shooting in irons or limited division. This will help you get the fundamentals of your gun...

    Rifle Scopes Scope options for SCAR 17

    Re: Scope options for SCAR 17 The NF 2.5-10x32 is a great scope. The Vortex 1-6x would be a great choice too I think. I have some trigger time on a SCAR17 and think a scope like the NF would be perfect.

    Rifle Scopes Meopta ZD 1-4x22 ???

    Re: Meopta ZD 1-4x22 ??? Used one for a big 3-gun match on top of a 16" 7.62 LaRue OBR. It's a great scope! Daylight bright reticule that is very fast to pick up. Works great for 3-gun, good glass, good reticule, light weight. Little expensive compared to the competition especially with all...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HS LR FFP scopes with XLR reticle

    Re: Vortex Viper HS LR FFP scopes with XLR reticle Ok, I'm going to have to call Vortex about this. If this was illuminated for low light conditions it would be great. I'd like a 4-16 version.

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Customer Service,,3-15x50 Tactical

    Re: Weaver Customer Service,,3-15x50 Tactical Had the same exact problem with mine. I was lucky enough that a ATK rep had one to swap with me. I sold the one he gave me. Good luck, I was afraid of using the Weaver/ATK main CS line.

    Re: MATEN Barrel recommendations. OH! Just called BRUX, that's pretty good stuff. Completely custom barrel for $495 with all the bells and whistles! They were just placed at the top of the list.

    MATEN Barrel recommendations.

    Re: MATEN Barrel recommendations. The Barrel has to be no longer than 16". There are a lot of good 18" and longer, but I'm looking for a 16 on this build. I love my 18" OBR but this is going to be lighter and handier. I had not looked at ar15performance. Thanks for that, I'll check them...

    MATEN Barrel recommendations.

    I am building a lighter weight Mega based MATEN .308 AR. I will suppress the gun with a surefire SOCOM series suppressor and make shots out to 800yds. I plan to mainly hunt with it so being super heavy is not desired. I would like a 16" mid gas barrel with good accuracy with proper ammunition...

    how would you spend 3k?

    Re: how would you spend 3k? I bought an OBR, and looked hard at the REPR. I should have looked at the GAP rifle also, though I really like my OBR. I think both are fine weapons, but you'll spend more than $3k. Closer to $5k once you factor in optics and more for a can.
