    Rifle Scopes Scope for AR10 Carbine

    Re: Scope for AR10 Carbine NF 2.5-10x32 Mildot with zero-stop. Very versatile scope without being cumbersome like the larger NXS on a carbine.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NPR1 Reticle Problems

    Re: Nightforce NPR1 Reticle Problems I have "lost" and or been slowed down by my NPR1s when hunting against some shadowed and or brushy back drops. The illumination factor isn't very helpful in daylight. I use the NP2DDs for varmints now. It's a great reticle if you can rely on a laser...

    Re: .308 Velocity Comparison ( RRA 16, 20 and 26 i All barrels were 1:10 twist. The 16 inch was equiped with a Vortex Flash hider. The 20 and 26 inch stainless bull barrels did not have a brake or flash hider.

    Range Report .308 Velocity Comparison ( RRA 16, 20 and 26 inch)

    I recently had the opportunity to shoot 3 different Rock River Arms LAR8s with different barrel lengths.(16 inch CM, 20 inch SS bull, 26 inch SS Bull) Rifles were like new with round counts between 3 and 333. All shots fired flawlessly from a 5 round magazine. 5 shots were fired with each of 3...

    Rifle Scopes Erector and spring had to be changed on my NF!

    Re: Erector and spring had to be changed on my NF! I would think that a sub 1% failure rate was doing very well! I hope they really are .09 but I would be pleasantly shocked if that was the case. I am a recovering Leupold addict but my personal experience with them is more like a 25% failure...

    Range Report 155 Scenars for deer hunting

    Re: 155 Scenars for deer hunting I have had minimal but disapointing experience with Scenars on Coyotes. A .338 Lapua penciled through and the coyote kept running until the second shot broke him down. Same thing happened with the 155s in a .308. 155 Amax in the .308 shoot as accurately as...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 12-42x56. 100 Yard Zero Question?

    Re: Nightforce NXS 12-42x56. 100 Yard Zero Question? My experience- The 12-42NF worked on a BAT action with BAT 20 moa rail (with elevation to spare) but, an 8-32NF failed to work on a TRG with a 20 moa Warne rail. Roll the dice and take your chances! You probably won't know for sure until...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Benchrest Scopes, opinions please

    Re: Nightforce Benchrest Scopes, opinions please The package (Warne) was marked 20moa. It would make me wonder if it was more than 20moa, but I have used other scopes on that rifle and 20moa seemed believable. Just something to be aware of if you are cutting it close on elevation. (and a...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Benchrest Scopes, opinions please

    Re: Nightforce Benchrest Scopes, opinions please If the rifle is a dedicated F class gun then I would go with the 12-42 with the intent to dial down the power as mirage dictates. If varmints could be on the menu I would go with the 8-32 for the wider field of view. I can't say that I ever...

    RIP brothers

    Re: RIP brothers 5 members of the 101st were also killed. Major Baldwin left 4 young children behind. We were buddies in college but I had lost track of him over the years. It really sucks to find an old friend after it's too late to reconnect. Thoughts and prayers to the families.

    .223 - 77gr SMK - seating die mangling tips?

    Re: .223 - 77gr SMK - seating die mangling tips? I always have the same problem with heavily compressed loads. I suggest using less powder, increased OAL or use a different die. I load .308 155 Amax with my Hornday dies over a heavy dose of Varget. It leaves a slight ring that can be seen...

    AR accuracy??

    Re: AR accuracy?? "AR's are not sub moa guns. Get used to it." Is this a joke? It might be true for a standard version but I would expect any free floated match version to be well under 1 MOA with decent ammunition. My experience has been primarily limited to RRA with 1:8 SS match free...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ?? 50 or 56 Objective

    Re: Nightforce ?? 50 or 56 Objective I bought both and compared them in low/no light. I couldn't tell any difference. I could use low rings with the 50mm but not with the 56mm. Sold the 56mm to a member here. IF I could use the same rings and the cost was the same, then I might have gone...

    LAR-8A4 Varmint

    Re: LAR-8A4 Varmint 2.81 on mine. They grudgingly fed some 2.84 OAL Amax but I would not trust the reliability. (tips were dragging against the front of the mag) My mags measure around 2.85 inside.

    LAR-8A4 Varmint

    Re: LAR-8A4 Varmint The LAR-8 with 26in SS Bull barrel is EXTREMELY accurate. I recently fired 3 consecutive 3 shots groups that averaged ~.35 MOA! I took the targets over to a friend who owns the same version. He claimed that his would do better.... I was shooting 155 Amax, Lapua brass...

    varget lot to lot

    Re: varget lot to lot I have used 3 different lots in the last 3 years and they were indistinguishable over the chrony and at the target. Maybe I was lucky but the issue of lot to lot variations with Varget seems overstated based on my experience. I did have an issue with a couple lots of...

    Mid 90s Eagle Arms EA-15 what uppers will fit?

    Re: Mid 90s Eagle Arms EA-15 what uppers will fit? Eagle Arms was located in Coal Valley, IL. (a few miles from Geneseo based Armalite) The early ones (Coal Valley)were sold as complete rifles while the later ones (Geneseo)were sold via Armalite as stripped lowers or possibly as completes...

    Hornady A-max opinions please

    Re: Hornady A-max opinions please I tried the 168s and 178s from a TRG-22. Both were 1/2-5/8MOA. (same as 168 SMK) Tried the 155s and the groups became smaller. Also just tried the 155s in a RRA LAR-8 and was rewarded with groups in the .5s! They have been a great choice for winning...

    ,338 Semi-Auto Lapua

    Re: ,338 Semi-Auto Lapua I believe they had two on display at SHOT. One had a light contour barrel (on the rack) and one wore heavier weight barrel. (displayed on the table)

    Bolt is hard to close on a FL resized case

    Re: Bolt is hard to close on a FL resized case I encountered a similar problem. I have to adjust my dies until there is a FIRM camming action to the press. (Hornady Single stage)
