    Rifle Scopes Need help with Mark 6 rings height for a MARS rail

    BobinNC, I really appreciate you doing that research, it's great to have people truly willing to help. I should have piped up and responded sooner but I got lazy. Got off the phone with Badger last week and did some measurements, Glen worked it out with me and actually got me set up. I order...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 6 Leupold 3-18x44 overview

    I have the Mark 6 and after years of using both the Mark 4 line and the Nightforces (extremely happy with both) I think Leupold just took it up a notch above the competition. I've been in the sniper community for a lot of years and this optic, paired with a horusvision reticle, is the most...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold vs. Nightforce

    I have owned both scopes up for discussion and used the hell out of them both extensively for work. I ran a Nightforce 5.5-22X56 for years on my .300 and switched for a Leupold 6.5-20X50. The biggest benefit I ever saw from the Nightforce was the distinction from slot to slot as you rotated...

    Rifle Scopes Need help with Mark 6 rings height for a MARS rail

    mjh30, I appreciate the help. I have looked into Seekins a bit but I've never used their product. I was wondering if you knew where Leupold takes their measurement from? Is it the top of the rail to the center of the main tube like Badger does or is it the top of the rail to the bottom of the...

    Rifle Scopes Need help with Mark 6 rings height for a MARS rail

    I called Leupold and they told me that the only 34mm rings they have come in "high" and "ultra high". I would like to use Badger or APA but I live accross the street from Leupold so that seemed easiest. I think that high or ultra high rings would make that scope have way too much room under...

    Rifle Scopes Need help with Mark 6 rings height for a MARS rail

    I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the right height that I need for my optic. I have a remington 700 built by American Precision Arms with a MARS rail. Until now I have run either a Nightforce with a 56mm obj or a Leupold with a 50mm obj. all have had a 30mm main tube. I just...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Knives

    Re: Hunting Knives I agree with the folder vs fixed blade question. Beyond that, a good sharpener. But above all, something American Made. Too much chinese shit floating around with plenty of American knife makers. I use a Strider, smaller fixed blade. S30V with 550 wrapped handle...

    .300 wm build opinion / barrel recommendation

    Re: .300 wm build opinion / barrel recommendation I've never heard of a finish increasing barrel life but I've been wrong before. Barrel life is based on number of rounds through the barrel before 'throat errosion' starts to set in. That's where the chamber pressures and the projectile...

    Mk 12 SPR 77 Gr Sierra King Match

    Re: Mk 12 SPR 77 Gr Sierra King Match Absolutely, and why not. So many people put limits on calibers but you never know until you push it. At sniper school I was able to hit 2 consistent hits at 1360 with the schoolhouse issued rifle but I think it was half dumb luck. I was pretty proud of...

    Re: 300. win mag experiences!! I killed a trophy black bear in northern canada with my .300WM. The guides told me they always have to track them after the shot was made but he was DRT. I think he moved about 10ft when he rolled. 200gr SMK killed the shit out of a domestic cat last year...
