    Rifle Scopes What’s the plus of having a bigger tube?

    You just told Koshkin, a guy that has forgotten more about scopes than you will ever know, that he doesn't know what he's talking about. I've seen it all. ?

    Rifle Scopes 338 scope mount

    I am still kicking myself in the balls over it, but here you go: I got an Armalite AR-30A1 right when they came out. I purchased a SWFA 5-20HD to go on top of her, and (sigh) decided to use the SWFA mount that came with the scope during their X-Mas deals. It didn't do the job. I had roaming...

    Rifle Scopes 338 scope mount

    Get a Spuhr and be done with it. I wasted a lot of $$$$$ trying to figure out why LM wasn't consistent only to find the scope was sliding in a bad mount. When sending expensive ammo down range, don't skimp on the mount. I have several American Rifle M10 mounts and they are good, too.

    Rifle Scopes Used scope- what to look for?

    I have purchased 2 Steiner Military, 3 TXi, 2 Bushnell HDMRs, and a Vortex Razor from this site (good god this place owns my wallet). Use common sense, buy a good brand, and pay the 3% to protect yourself if there is the slightest bit of doubt in your mind. Most on here are good people.

    Rifle Scopes help with a 22lr scope.

    I put a first gen BushnellHDMR with H59 reticle on a RPR .22. It really helps my 7 year old son visualize where he is aiming vs where the bullet impacts. When he gets good at holdovers he will learn dialing elevation and holding for wind.

    I prefer the term Frank Units. F.U. for short.

    Rifle Scopes Current state of MOA and MIL

    I switched over about 8 years ago. I remember how natural it felt within a matter of minutes compared to years of MOA. I will never go back.

    Rifle Scopes I just saw the notice on the new 46 x 46 Weaver BR scope

    That explains why the 6-30 was getting unloaded for around 700.

    Rifle Scopes How much magnification is too much?

    Maybe outer space, but then you will have to figure non-linear dope for slight gravity variations on your 5000 mile shot.

    Rifle Scopes How much magnification is too much?

    In reality I rarely go above 15-16x, and end up 10-12 on most shots past 1000.

    Rifle Scopes Razor Gen II 7c Problems

    I have had this happen with a SWFA HD on a 338 LM. The stray bullets were only on the vertical plane. It ended up being the scope mount allowing the scope to slightly move between shots. The mount was one of their freebees they give away during their sales. I wasted hundreds in lead (of...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20 vs. Burris XTRII 5-25 or 4-20

    Enjoy. They are nice. If it doesn’t have a cat tail you might look into it. The mag ring on mine was insanely tight.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20 vs. Burris XTRII 5-25 or 4-20

    If SWFA did a small tweak to the reticle and added zero stop I would buy more. It’s a very good scope just itching to break into “great” territory. They are an absolute steal for what they go for in the buy/well section.

    Rifle Scopes Let’s talk Horus Reticles. I want one.

    I own a couple Bushnell HDMRs with the H59 reticle. The marriage works very well on the AR10 National Match and SASS I own. You can dial for decent precision since the 59 has a very fine floating dot, or speed things up by holding over on larger targets without dialing elevation. My bolt...
