    SCAR 17S

    Re: SCAR 17S I have a good friend who loves his. His is sub moa gun with good ammo. His likes the Black Hills 175 SMKs. It's been 100% reliable and he is notoriously hard on stuff. He hunts and uses it for 3-gun heavy and it just works. Terrible factory trigger and hard to find mags are the...

    AR 10's & heavy bullets

    Re: AR 10's & heavy bullets I don't think heavy bullets would be required but proper bullet selection absolutely would be. I'd recommend Barnes bullets. They even have a factory load. Barnes Vor-Tex 168grn TTSX My son (8yo) uses their 85grn .243 on whitetail, and it's devistating. I'd try...

    I want a semi-auto precision .308

    Re: I want a semi-auto precision .308 .308 based AR rifles are just expensive. There are a few more affordable ones (DPMS, Bushmaster etc) but just like with an AR15 there will be compromises. The DPMS guns have a pretty good reputation, but you're going to compromise gas system length...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Tactical and Viper PST

    Re: Weaver Tactical and Viper PST I bought the Weaver 3-15x50. Mounted it to my OBR in a LaRue mount and at around 200rnds had a turret fail. Weaver made it right, but I sold the new scope. Mine is the only one I know of that has failed, and Weaver was easy enough to deal with on the CS...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark6

    Re: Leupold Mark6 The 3-18x44 is available now. They are starting to ship the 1-6x with the 7.62 reticule, and should start trickling out to users soon. At the FB3G, I was able to see one that Jim Smith has on his personal carbine. VERY nice optic! I want a combo 3-18x44/1-6x for my OBR...

    Rifle Scopes Lightest weight, Best quality optics

    Re: Lightest weight, Best quality optics For light weight, the new Leupold MK6 3-18x44 looks nice. I'm sure the PH and March would get it on glass quality, but the size of this scope has a lot of promise.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! Jasonk, I understand what you're saying and agree with most of it. However, I was not around for the other deals they had, and took a "summer delivery" as the word of a company with a solid reputation. My contacts with SWFA have been...

    Rifle Scopes New Toy vortex 1-6 HD2

    Re: New Toy vortex 1-6 HD2 Not as bright as a Z6i or Short Dot. But bright enough to draw MY eye in daylight.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! I stopped by their shop last week. When I asked about the 1-6x I got the feeling they didn't care about me, and acted as though my question was an inconvenience. I will stick this out, but will likely never buy from SWFA again, especially...

    SIg 716 or SCAR 17?

    Re: SIg 716 or SCAR 17? I've spent some trigger time with a SCAR 17. I wanted to hate the gun, but it turned out that I really like it. I think the charging handle sucks, but if you put it on the opposite side, it works well. My friend bought one, and he has over 1k through it, and it...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation - wild boar, shorter ranges

    Re: Scope recommendation - wild boar, shorter ranges Totally depends on budget. Low end - Burris XTR 1-4 Mid low - SWFA SS 1-4 Mid high - Meopta ZD 1-4/Vortex 1-6 High end - Swaro Z6i Lots of great scopes out there. All of those are good scopes and have good reputations. All are pretty...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 or short dot?

    Re: Leupold Mark 6 or short dot? I was able to see the one Jim Smith has on his rifle this last weekend at the FB3G. The MK6 with CMR-W is a very VERY nice scope. I wish I had not looked at it, it's going to force me to buy one. I guess I should have added this....I say MK6

    Rifle Scopes Price check on a used S&B

    Re: Price check on a used S&B There are a few in the classifieds on this site for around $1800 ish. I think the short dot's are great optics, but they are behind a lot of other optics in the same class. With the Swaro 1-6 Z6i, Vortex Razor HD II 1-6, Leupold CQBSS, and pending 1-8x from...

    Rifle Scopes Best scope for $1500 or less

    Re: Best scope for $1500 or less I've been exactly where you are and decided to up my budget. But the new scopes in your budget were already listed. SS 5-20 Bushnell HDMR Both of those are great for the money. For a little more you can step up to a Razor 5-20, Leupold MK6 3-18, USO SN-3...
