    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 question

    Re: Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 question If you have an EBR-1 reticle, there is a good chance it does not have the upgrade. They were still running behind on upgrading these when I last spoke to them about 6 weeks ago. I encourage you to call them directly and have them check the serial number...

    Rifle Scopes How many LR shooters Don't use bubbles

    Re: How many LR shooters Don't use bubbles I also have to agree with Sagebrush. I use 'em, I like 'em, I shoot better with 'em. But, then I'm not in any kind of hurry...It might take me 30 minutes to chamber a round, line up and squeeze shot.

    Rifle Scopes Anti cant level question

    Re: Anti cant level question I use both the Vortex and the Holland's. The Vortex is <span style="font-style: italic">much</span> heavier, but bottom line, both are superbly constructed. You can not go wrong with either one. Personally, I am usually looking to add weight to my big kickers...

    Re: New build Idea, whats your thoughts - 280AI My thoughts will be biased as I am in the middle of a 280 AI build myself. Going with a 28.5" barrel, though.

    Rifle Scopes Another testament to Vortex CS

    Re: Another testament to Vortex CS Another satisfied customer. I recently sent in my Razor HD for an ocular upgrade. It took them all of five days to get it back to me. Let me be clear, though... I mailed it on a Friday and had it back by the next Wed.

    Rifle Scopes New job...New scope

    So, I am going to treat myself to an NXS 3.5-15x50 HSZS to put on my bull barreled AR in 308. Will use out to 800 yds. I even have a spousal writ of approval. Any reason to go 5.5-22? I already have one and really like it on my 338. But for this rifle, I wanted some more FOV. Wanted to...

    Best ear protection?

    Re: Best ear protection? I have been happy with my electronic Browning muffs for about 6 years now. About 30 db of of noise reduction as I recall. Battery life has been phenomenal - as in hundreds of hours between charges. I also wear plugs underneath while at the range. Can't wear enough...
