    Which mount for your US Optics SR-8?

    Which mount do you use for your US Optics SR-8, and what type of rifle is it on? With damn near 2/3'rds or more of the scope located in the rear section, you definitely need something that leans forward. I'm putting mine on a 300 Blackout AR that will be used for hog hunting in the brush, so...

    Rifle Scopes U.S. Optics SR-8 BigJimFish Shot Report.

    Jim, did you try any other mounts besides the American Rifle Co? I'm a big fan of that particular mount, but it would not leave enough room on top of my AR for sufficient eye relief. I tried to go with the Spuhr SP-3616, but there isn't enough room on the front of the scope to fit it into the...

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    My order from Monday the 10th did not arrive today as it was supposed it. I even paid for the upgraded USPS Priority Shipping. WTF? Not sure if Midway or USPS is to blame yet though, but there ain't much bad weather between Texas and Mizzou to hold it up.

    Because I'm such a nice guy & I got your back... 168 AMAX's on a silver platter...

    Also for sale at Natchez is the RCBS Chargemaster 1500 for $289!!! That's $110 off, and worth every single penny. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=RC98923&src=tpSlrHm

    what ar10 style would be best for 600 yard f class tactical matches

    +1 on the Baer. Les Baer makes an exceptionally accurate .308 gas gun. And the NF 8-32 can be had for less than many of the "tactical" 5-25/6-24 FFP scopes. It should also be noted, F T/R = F Target/Rifle, as seen here...

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    I have spent thousands there this year and last year. Just started getting all crazy about shooting at the beginning of last year. For me, everything was great until about the middle of this year, and now that I think about it more, the last couple of orders are the ones I've had a "problem"...

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    What pissed me off about that order from Midway is when choosing my home address in Houston for delivery I did not have the option for USPS Priority Flat Rate Med box (I ended up getting 100 Lapua brass .338 LM). However, when I changed the shipping address to my gunsmith in La Grange TX, a...

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    They've always treated me well and fixed anything they messed up, which hasn't been much. I have no problems with them. However, I'm in the process of ordering 4 boxes of 100 Hornady bullets, and I notice shipping is $15.77 for UPS Ground, and I"m in Houston. Seems a little high for something...

    AICS Stock?

    I grew up hunting and shooting guns, but had never gone to shooting ranges to shoot at paper/targets for extended periods of time. After I bought my first AR-15 I started going to the range and developed an affinity for pistol grip style stocks. I progressed into "long...

    Rifle Scopes 100 MOA/29.1 Mils of elevation travel with 20.6MOA/6 Mil cant/tilt

    This response is more along the lines of what I was looking for. I do know that the scope will not be at it's mechanical center whenever it is mounted and zeroed at 100 yards, I was just using that assumption for simplicity to talk about the what effect the degree of tilt built into the mount...

    Rifle Scopes 100 MOA/29.1 Mils of elevation travel with 20.6MOA/6 Mil cant/tilt

    Damn...35 views and no response. I guess it was a dumber question than I thought?!?!

    Rifle Scopes 100 MOA/29.1 Mils of elevation travel with 20.6MOA/6 Mil cant/tilt

    Scope has 29.1 Mils of total elevation adjustment available, then the mechanical center of the elevation range will be at 14.55 Mils. Assume when zeroing the scope at 100 yards, you're dead on at the mechanical center of the elevation range. When using a scope mount that has 0 tilt/cant built...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics SR-8C Quick Review

    That's one helluva cash outlay to get your own reticle! I was going back and forth on getting a different set up or keeping my SR-8s. After getting behind it again a few times, I'm starting to fall in love with the glass. My first US Optics experience wasn't as good as I thought it would be...

    Rifle Scopes new Vortex to be released... looks like a new Razor line

    I will either be replacing all my Razor 5-20's with the potentially new 5-25....or if they're 3-12/15/18 I WILL be getting one, possibly two. I continue to feel that they are the best bang for you buck if quality glass is very important.

    Range report!!!!

    This thread makes me smile. I'm picking up the 300 WSM he's building for me on a Stiller TAC30. I ordered my own barrel b/c I wanted to get a Barlein. I think Russel likes Broughton (to answer the question posted last year at this time!) That's what was on my original invoice. Anyway, I'm...

    Rifle Scopes 300 BLK Scope + Mini Holographic recs for a self-proclaimed "Magnification Whore"

    I agree with that. I mainly wanted the magnification for shooting groups, which is something else I like to do. But I have a 3.5-18 on another rifle with an American Rifle Co mount, so I can just swap it out whenever I want to punch paper. The mount for scopes theoretically holds it's zero...

    Rifle Scopes 300 BLK Scope + Mini Holographic recs for a self-proclaimed "Magnification Whore"

    Been doing some research, and I'm mulling over my decision now. Here's my options: I read a few more reviews about the US Optics SR-8 I have on it now, and I got behind the scope one more time. I've changed my mind about the glass as it's considerably better on this scope than on the last USO...
