    Rifle Scopes Whew, its not me. Vortex issue

    Re: Whew, its not me. Vortex issue No matter what you buy, rifle scopes, TVs, cars, etc, there is always going to be a cost to quality ratio. If you expect a $800 pair of Vortex binos to perform and hold up the same as a $2000 pair of Steiner's or Leica's you will always be disappointed...

    Rifle Scopes Whew, its not me. Vortex issue

    Re: Whew, its not me. Vortex issue UPDATE Thanks for the replys guys. I did call Vortex last night and Maureen sent me another return shipping label, so back to Vortex it goes. I hate to be a PIA, but the ring slop just didn't seem right.

    Rifle Scopes Whew, its not me. Vortex issue

    Re: Whew, its not me. Vortex issue UPDATE I got my scope back from Vortex today. Eight day turn around time, not bad. I do have a question about something different that I noticed. The magnification ring now slides fore and aft along the axis of the tube approximately 0.0360" or the...

    Rifle Scopes Whew, its not me. Vortex issue

    Re: Whew, its not me. Vortex issue I wouldn't lose faith in Vortex just yet RICE ETR. For all I know the previous owner may have thrown the scope out of a ten story building. I'll never know.

    Rifle Scopes Whew, its not me. Vortex issue

    I just got my Noveske N6 with Vortex Viper PST put together and have fired a total of 160 rounds through the rifle over the last two days. In those two days I have not been able to get the rifle to group at all. The best I could get the rifle to group was 3" at 100yds. I was being complete...

    Time for some Noveske love

    After a month of research, countless e-mails, and hours of my wife yelling at me to get off the computer, I finally got everthing together for my new rifle. Thanks to all the Hide members for your technical support and smoking good deals. Don't ask me how it shoots. I'm off to the range...

    Rifle Scopes Zeroing Question

    I know this has probably been asked a million times, so forgive me. I finally got my N6 all put together and I'm off to the range tomorrow to zero my Vortex PST 4-16x50 scope. If I'm going to be zeroing in at 100yds, does it matter which magnification I have the scope set at. I've always...

    Re: Vortex Scope & ADM Mount Combo Thanks for all the replys guys. My original question stems from something I read here on the Hide. I'm just getting into long range shooting and have been doing a lot of reading. Sometimes its hard to seperate the wheat from the chaff. Scott - The young...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Scope & ADM Mount Combo

    I called both Vortex and ADM with this question, but neither could give me a postive answer. I would like to mount my Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 scope in the ADM Recon mount with the 20MOA cant. I'm wondering with this combo will the scope have enough elevation adjustment to sight the rifle in...

    New guy needs help

    Re: New guy needs help Thanks Doc. Two questions. First, what do you mean by "lock time". I've never heard that term before. Second, can you go into more detail on parallax and the affect on my groups. You are right about the bolt throw. The original scope on the rifle was mounted via a...

    New guy needs help

    I’m looking for a little direction here, so bare with me. Below are pictures of my 1903 Springfield rifle. I know to some of you that “sporterizing” a classic American military firearm like the 1903 is grounds for hanging, but I swear to you that I purchased the gun this way, back in 1988 when...
