    Rifle Scopes What Fixed power for 3-500 Yds? 12 or 16

    Re: What Fixed power for 3-500 Yds? 12 or 16 I'd tell you to go with a 10X, unless you have some vision deficiency. Allot used and continue to use 10X to engage targets easily in the 600-800 meter range. Plus with a 10X you can find many in the top line if scopes. And in the lower price range...

    308 or 338????

    Re: 308 or 338???? Just my opinion... you are "getting into" long range...you will need to learn allot and even more acquire allot of experience, especially understanding and reading wind. Purchase a .308 and practice (and I see you are in NJ so where are you going to shoot out to 1000) in a...

    What's your bolt gun weigh

    Re: What's your bolt gun weigh After humping and dragging an M24A1, M24A2 or a M24A3 for over 20 years with also rucks of 30 to 60 pounds most of the time, rifle weight does not mean squat to me anymore.

    Rifle Scopes What happen to NF new scope? beast?

    Re: What happen to NF new scope? beast? The best thing I liked about the one I handled (was one between the 3rd and 4th prototype) was that finally the ocular doesn't rotate around any more. I'd be surprised if they get a final out in 2013.

    Is the mcrees the way to go Help

    Re: Is the mcrees the way to go Help This thread made me go the their website and I believe, if I remember right, the chassis I tried looked different. I wish the site had better photos and close-ups. When I saw an accessory was a mounting strap, the one for night vision/laser ads...I'm now...

    Rifle Scopes IOR or SWFA SS

    Re: IOR or SWFA SS I've seen quite a few IOR scopes being used in Afghanistan and Iraq by different NATO forces and US troops and teams. I've used them on both a 300 WM and a 338 having very rough handling they functioned fine and always tracked the line. Any scope can get gubbered I've seen...

    Rifle Scopes IOR or SWFA SS

    Re: IOR or SWFA SS I don't know if the SWFA scopes have gotten any better but around 16 months ago a friend on another team sent for one, it was a moderate power zoom and many of us looked at it and through it, my friend sent it back without ever mounting it. I do know IOR scopes and they...

    Rifle Scopes AR optic question, right hand shooter but left eye

    Re: AR optic question, right hand shooter but left eye In the case studies I've read if you are truly (strongly) left eye dominate you should start shooting left handed. Studies show that those with a strong dominate eye cannot "shift" fast enough because the brain will be fighting the optic...

    Rifle Scopes Who uses fixed powers.

    Re: Who uses fixed powers. For years I used a 10X atop my M24 never needing anything else...really if you think about it 90% or more shooters that have a vari power leave it at one magnification all the time.

    Re: Who measures up to USO, S&B, NF, Leupold The last two rifle systems I've signed for had S&B and NightForce. For my personal rifle I have at home I ended up getting an IOR and love it.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 8x32-56 not much elevation?

    Re: Nightforce 8x32-56 not much elevation? We have several 8-32X56 NXSs on the McMillan TAC-338 in our armory. They have 17.7Mil elev. and 12.3Mil wind, you should not be having any problem with them. I'd ask what specific mount setup are you using and tell you for a .338 we zero at either...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor and Viper Opinion

    Re: Vortex Razor and Viper Opinion If your not going to get another NF then you're probably not looking at S&Bs, so NF > IOR is the way I'd go. To my eye the Razor just can't compare to an IOR or NF or Hensolt or Kahles...

    Re: AR-15 mount In the past my unit has used many different brands. One aspect we need most often is a higher than normal print because of NV and LRD units. We've had the LaRue LT135 extra high mount but we've moved to the RRA Hi-Rise Cantilever Scope Mount which are the next highest made we...
