    Spotting Scopes Angled or Straight?

    Re: Spotting Scopes Angled or Straight? I have the straight scope and for the way that I use it is great. Whether benchmounted or prone shooting it is good. If you like to glass across valleys and you are perched on a high hilltop it is great. If you are more into star gazing or looking...

    Best AR Platform for the $

    Re: Best AR Platform for the $ Basically it is going to be your own preference. I always recommend what I have personal experience with which most people do and is why you get such a large variety of manufacturers to choose from. Shooters here at sniper hide always buy top of the line. My...

    Best AR Platform for the $

    Re: Best AR Platform for the $ I would personally recommend Rock River Arms great platforms with moa or less accuracy guarantees and 2 stage triggers. But there is a back log for them. Check Walmart out. Here in Texas they sell the Colt for about $1087.

    Are AR's "hard" on scopes?

    Re: Are AR's "hard" on scopes? One more thing Duke, on your first scope you had mounted you could have issues with parallex. Which would explain shotgun groups escpecially if your cheek weld and picture sight were not the same.

    Are AR's "hard" on scopes?

    Re: Are AR's "hard" on scopes? If it is brand new did you clean your rifle good. Mine had a lot of oil and grease all over the place. I had a lot of trouble getting good groups as well at the beginning because I was not following through properly. Go back to basics and ensure everything...

    New to AR15 rifles, looking for some advise

    Re: New to AR15 rifles, looking for some advise In my own opinion when you customize you have to pay the piper. Also plenty of research must be done by you to ensure that the different brands marry up and work together. Not a problem with the good names like bravo company,noveske,lmt, just...

    Are heavy barrels more accurate???

    Re: Are heavy barrels more accurate??? I for one believe that it does have an advantage over a sporter barrel in the following manner. The heavier barrel and platform will allow for better follow through in your sight picture. The recoil will be less felt and your sight picture will be...

    Re: Groups @600 yrds Interesting find, I just took off the wrapping off the 8th edition of Hornady's handbook if cartridge reloading and do not have an info for the 75 AMAX, it only has info for the 52 and 53gr amax. Never mind just found the info under service rifle It clearly states that...

    Groups @600 yrds

    Re: Groups @600 yrds As has been mentioned, be careful with the AMAX 75 gr. You may not be able to compress the powder to magazine length. I would stick to 77smk and forget the 75 AMAX by hornady. I have the RRA pursuit. I have not handloaded any ammo for it but my rifle liked the lighter...

    Can or AR?

    Re: Can or AR? I would get the AR15 first. You cannot use a can for home defense but are great for rolling tortillas and pie crusts. Others have not suggested Rock River Arms. For the money they are great rifles and reliable. I own one. The best thing in my opinion is the have models...
