    KAC SR-25 ECR- anyone have one?

    I've had the ECC for about 9 months Has never skipped a beat, shoots 1/2 MOA, has easy recoil from its rifle-length gas system, and has a chrome-lined bore and chamber so it's easy to maintain. Mine likes FGMM 168gr and the Federal American Eagle M1A 168gr match loading. My buddy, who attended a...

    Sr-25 or lmt ?

    Congrats! Both are awesome rifles, and I debated after seeing both in person. I went with the SR-25 ECC and love it, but I think the LMT is a better value.

    Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

    KAC SR-25 ECC. Has never skipped a beat, shoots 1/2 MOA, has easy recoil from its rifle-length gas system, and has a chrome-lined bore and chamber so it's easy to maintain. Only downside is price.

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    I don't have much Leupold experience, but I recently bought a Mark 8 CQBSS and am very happy with it. I called CS to get a 7.62 BDC ring and the guy was very helpful and I had it in the mail in a few days.

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20x50 vs. Hensoldt 3-12x56

    I don't find the SB to be stiff except on the MTC detents, and they are difficult to get right coming out of those. SB will disable the MTC for $75, which I may do after having used the scope a bit. I do like the Hensoldt clicks better, but if the SB MTC were eliminated, it would be almost equal...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20x50 vs. Hensoldt 3-12x56

    I recently bought an Schmidt and Bender 3-20X56 with H2CMR reticle and have owned a 3-12X56 Hensoldt ZF with mildot reticle for over a year. I compared the two quite a bit this weekend, but I haven’t shot the S&B yet, so these are just my initial observations. Hensoldt 3-12X56 FFP Pros...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt 3-20 as good as 5-25?

    I was looking through it at dusk in the rain, about 50 yards aimed at forest, 3x. I absolutely couldn't see the reticule until I moved the scope! Turned illumination on and could barely make it out. The appeal of this reticle for me is the same: I will dial elevation and hold for wind. Also...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt 3-20 as good as 5-25?

    I just got a 3-20 and the glass is fantastic. I don't have the 5-25, but I do have a Hensoldt 3-12 and a USO 1.8-10 for comparison. The SB is brighter and slightly crisper than the USO and roughly equal to the Hensoldt. The Hensoldt transmits a little more light at dusk and an unequaled FOV, but...

    what kind of bino's you guys using?

    Re: what kind of bino's you guys using? I recently bought Swaro EL 10x42 HD and love them. The clarity is truly stunning. I compared quite a bit side-by-side with the Leicas and the Zeiss. The Leicas were my 2nd choice, but when comparing them at longer range, the resolution of the Swaros was...

    Rifle Scopes How do you adjust reticle focus on Nightforce NXS?

    Re: How do you adjust reticle focus on Nightforce NXS? I don't have mine with me, but as I recall, you have to unscrew the eyepiece slightly to unlock things, then adjust with the knurled ring, then re-tighten the locking eyepiece.
