    Rifle Scopes Input on nightforce scopes

    Depending on the kind of shooting you plan on doing, you may also want to take a look at the ATACR F1 line for a FFP option, or even the Vortex Gen II Razor and Vortex Razor HD AMG. First focal plane can be a huge advantage, and used Vortex Gen IIs can be had here on the Hide for $1800. I've...

    Rifle Scopes Input on nightforce scopes

    Just finished helping a good friend sight in his SHV on his AR in .308 and I was pretty underwhelmed with the SHV. Looked about in line with a Vortex PST to me. It wasn't a bad scope necessarily, but I don't think it belongs on a rifle where you are "sparing no expense".

    Rifle Scopes New Mil-C NF on the way!!

    I took mine out at 1,200 yards this last Sunday and had an 18" target. That crosshair is perfect for me, I really do like it a lot. I'll try to take some pictures through it next weekend when I take it out again.

    Do different atmospherics matter when truing DSF on 5700 Elite?

    Yeah I think that makes more sense than what I was thinking.. so does that mean that I shouldn't be truing my DSF, but I should be truing something else?

    Do different atmospherics matter when truing DSF on 5700 Elite?

    So I've got a solid zero at 100 yards at 50*F from February when I was at my local range - 400ft altitude and a DA that I recorded but didn't look at before this post. Since working a few kinks out that were all my fault - the Kestrel has now been dead nuts accurate for me out to 830 yards, and...

    Tripod recommendation

    The legs on the 3342 go 180 - the only time there's trouble is if you have the RRS leveling base on it and want to go 180 at the same time.

    Tripod recommendation

    RRS makes two leveling bases that I'm aware of. One is made for RRS tripods, and the other is the one I linked in my post. It's a universal leveling base, and it is a direct drop in to the 3342. No other parts needed. Installation takes 20-30 seconds. You can also add an extension to it if you...

    Appropriate Zero Range For Calculators?

    They're all right on.. and it's because for PRS/practical rifle/steel/tactical matches - we don't really use "hold over". We do use wind holds quite a bit.. and I won't say that a holdover shot is uncommon because we have such great reticles now.. but the general idea is dialing elevation on...

    Tripod recommendation

    I tried a LOT of options when I was getting my setup. I was determined to do it on the cheap - I was constantly disappointed. In my humble opinion, I feel like I came up with the perfect balance of weight savings, cost savings, and stability. My setup is as follows: Feisol 3342 tripod...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Military Discount!

    One of the only stipulations is that you don't disclose the amount of the mil discount to others. I'm certain that also means don't post it on a public forum. I'd appreciate if you didn't ruin it for the rest of us.

    Drag Bags

    The only drag bag I've ever owned is the Tactical Tailor bag.. but I live right next to them, and hit their in store only 50% off sales so it was hard to pass up. I don't have anything to compare it to - but I do like it quite a bit. I don't actually use it for a drag bag, I just use it as a...

    Rifle Scopes New Mil-C NF on the way!!

    Thanks! I can't take credit for the creation.. RBros Rifles did all the hard work... I just paid for it haha. The ATACR is the nicest scope I've ever owned. I was on a rollercoaster of optics starting with low end Vortex Viper scopes - moving to Razor HD scopes and finally being blown away by...

    Man that sucks! Sorry to hear that. I know the question wasn't directed at me, but regarding mounts - I've always had my optics in Seekins rings, but snagged a SPUHR on a Memorial Day sale and I'm loving it! <a...

    Rifle Scopes New Mil-C NF on the way!!

    Mine sat at my UPS Store mailbox for 12 days while I was on vacation and subsequently on a work trip before I could pick it up. That was rough.
