    Rifle Scopes Scope w/ great low light performance for old eyes.

    Hi all, my dad is in his 60s and doesn't have the best eyesight anymore. He has 3 or 4 of the trijicon 2.5-10x scopes on his rifles. He prefers the models that have the single "dot" style reticles, I think he finds milling style reticles too busy. He is looking now for a new scope with a bit...

    Need a great base

    Re: Need a great base If your scope will zero at 100 yards with the current base why not just use it? As long as you can zero at the shortest distance you plan to shoot, having a 20 MOA base doesn't hurt at all.

    Re: My new Scout Supply Co. shorty .308. Well I did finally get a deer but it was not pic worthy...I saw what I thought was a nice sized doe at about 250 yards on Friday. I held over a mil and squeezed and it fell where it stood from a 178 grain Amax to the base of the neck. When I got down...

    Rifle Scopes Minox Scope

    Re: Minox Scope The minox BDC reticle actually worked pretty well for me. Not sure if they offer it in the scope you're looking at but if so it's probably worth it if he is panning to holdover.

    Remington 700P in 6.8spc

    Re: Remington 700P in 6.8spc IF you want a 6.8 then get it. It's not a really common chambering so ammo will be more difficult to find and likely more expensive than say a .308. Also, if you're planning on longer range shooting I don't think 6.8 is the best choice. Buying a used rifle for...
