    Rifle Scopes 1 - piece base or 2 - piece base for 10FP?

    Re: 1 - piece base or 2 - piece base for 10FP? Most benchrest shooters use two-piece scope bases. Aside from being able to deploy various devices on a fully-slotted Picatinny Spec Rail, which means maybe you need rails over the bolt cut-out area on your bolt-action rifle, there is nothing...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold "Mark AR" scope experience anyone?

    Re: Leupold "Mark AR" scope experience anyone? Agree that these scopes, for price of VX-II give you a great reticle. Install a pair of Stoney Point turret caps and you have a nice low-price tactical scope. The 1-4x is excellent with weaver xtr low rings on an A2 carry handle mount. ETA...

    Rifle Scopes Another Leupold goes down.

    Re: Another Leupold goes down. To paraphrase coach AO "Bum" Phillips, there are two kinds of scopes, them that's been broken and them that's gonna be broken". Well, maybe not every scope, but if you are buying any variable with illum reticle and all the bells and whistles, chances are you...

    Rifle Scopes My Mark 4 battery died!!!!!!!!!

    Re: My Mark 4 battery died!!!!!!!!! Leupold has had some issues with their early illum reticle circuitry. If your battery was newly installed and lasted a very short time, like a week or two, you might give them a call 800 LEU POLD. My mk4 scopes have been great in the battery life dept...

    M1A or HK 91

    Re: M1A or HK 91 I own an M1a. Gotta love them for history, military contractor parts, function and handling. That said, The AR-10(T) is the semi-auto .308 rifle to own and shoot. Will take a scopesight better than any other semi out there, parts are readily available, custom barrels are...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 6500 2.5-16X42MM question??

    Re: Bushnell 6500 2.5-16X42MM question?? Saw a post on Benchrest Central Forum a week or two back when I was doing a search... Guys said the Bushnell 4200, Sightron SIII and Leupold optics had fewer issues than the 6500 series Bushnell. FWIW.

    Rifle Scopes optics for ar build

    Re: optics for ar build Leupold mk4 1.5-5x MR/T w/illum SPR reticle is a good choice for your goals. Compact and relatively lightweight, the scope will also enable Bindon Aiming Concept techniques with reticle on and flip-up covering objective lens. For sniper/spotter events though, why...

    Rifle Scopes Image rendition over sighting?

    Re: Image rendition over sighting? Probably am "internet personality challenged", admittedly. Then again, why do so many consider anyone with another perspective to be trolling them? Clear magnification is pretty much a given necessity. Nobody wants coke-bottle quality image rendition...

    Rifle Scopes Image rendition over sighting?

    Re: Image rendition over sighting? Not a very sober response from the sobrbiker. What have I ever done to anyone here, besides sometimes hold a differing perspective. Notice that I did not say "opinion". What I discuss are matters I have experience with. After having owned an IOR 2-12x...

    Rifle Scopes David Tubb sights?= total confusion

    Re: David Tubb sights?= total confusion How is an M1a with NM sights as far as a field rifle, IE in a fight? I was not saying that a chrome-lined bore with 1:12 or 1:9 twist is "optimum" for precision shooting. Was trying to get the point across that a 10.5lb AR or M1a will be more easily...

    Rifle Scopes Image rendition over sighting?

    Why is this forum titled "optics" instead of "sighting systems"? I post this up for consideration because I continually see confusion here about scopesights and the great call by so many for scopesights to exceed Zeiss/Leitz/Nikon in terms of optics quality image rendition, but miss the whole...

    Re: I want to invent a new cartridge!! There are lots of different approaches to the same solution... I bought a 22" Shilen match barrel in .308win from a guy on Ebay a few years back. Had a tightneck chamber. Being somewhat compulsive, and owning a .30-06 AI reamer, I reamed the barrel...

    Rifle Scopes Serious Leupold vs Nightforce question**UPDATE**

    Re: Serious Leupold vs Nightforce question Only the 3.5-15 and Compact NXS models have as much reticle movement as the Leupold 4.5-14 with 100/100 moa. The Leupold model 60000 with illum TMR reticle is a very fine upgrade and saves you about about half a pound of top end weight, plus is...

    Rifle Scopes OK here goes if one scope wich one??

    Re: OK here goes if one scope wich one?? Joey, That is it! Mine has a Badger handguard from which I removed about 6 picatinny slots to fit the scope objective. With Med TPS rings it is perfect for a fast stockweld every time. Also like the NXS 2.5-10 24mm for lightweight, as it is right...
