    Finally got the new US Optics TXH 3-18x50

    I would imagine it's the same OEM in China that does all their TS scopes. From the sounds of it, it should be priced a bit closer to what a Chinese scope should be priced at. I think some of their TS series pricing has always seemed optimistic unless you're buying from Eurooptic. I know it...

    PRS Talk Impacting high past 700 yards???

    Double check your wind directions, since wind direction has an effect on elevation. I thought my kestrel was reading wind direction with a 6mph wind this weekend and shot high for a bit before seeing that the kestrel still had a 12:00 wind instead of 4:30 (the actual direction). The difference...

    Nightforce C538 NXS 2.5-10x24

    Maybe testing the waters to see if putting a 2-10 ATACR out there is worth it to compete with the MK5, MK4, and ZCO, etc.

    Nightforce C538 NXS 2.5-10x24

    How is the fov on these? Looking at the pictures, the eye piece looks pretty thick.

    Rifle Scopes What is your favorite rifle scope?

    Either the NF ATACR 7-35 MIL-XT or the USO FDN 25X. I've sold everything else and don't have a reason to get anything else. JVCR and MIL-XT are my favorite reticles by far.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    I doubt the rail will change the POI shift. I have a KRG rail on my PRI delta forearm, and it's still .4 between bag and bipod.

    One Piece Scope Mounts ..What do you use?

    I've been back and forth on mounts. Spuhr was good, but pricey. ARC M-BRACE was great, and the level was great, but the rings got in the way of my turrets. Not an issue for some, but my turrets are very low profile (USO). MPA BA mounts are very nice, and technically take Spuhr accessories on the...

    Do my binos I bought last year get grandfathered in?

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    "rear" of the rail - are you saying close to the receiver, you were seeing more shift?

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    I see about .4 between a bag and bipod. I just got a thermofit upper receiver and was hoping it might reduce the shift. This makes me think it's not going to be promising...

    USO 10X Users - Any Reticles Thinner Than the GAP?

    While I love my 25x and my 17x, my FDN 10X leaves something to be desired in the reticle department. I've got the GAP reticle, and it's hella thick. I get that we want to see it at low power, but at 10X it covers a LOT of what I want to see, especially coming from my JVCRs and MIL-XT with...

    What AR15 cartridge is a worthwhile step up from 5.56?

    I... I never knew about Marvin Heemeyer. And now I do. Many thanks, 357Max.

    What AR15 cartridge is a worthwhile step up from 5.56?

    Why keep good info to dms? I'd love to be a fly on the wall for said conversation

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    How temp stable is LVR? I see a lot of it here and there. So long as it's fairly predictable, it might be worth stocking up on, and adjusting for temperatures.

    TriggerTech Diamond AR10 vs AR15

    Is this a known issue with the trigger, or users just having bad followthrough? I'm looking at getting a light trigger for my precision AR, and the list of triggers with long resets is empty. Everyone wants a 3 gun machine gun with insane resets, which I get, but I kind of wish there were some...

    130 vs 140+ class bullets for PRS

    I just got a 6.5x47L chambered up and tried the 130 AR Hybrids vs the 140s. The day I had both, the wind wasn't super strong, maybe 5ish MPH crosswinds, and didn't see anything significant wind wise at 600 yds. Possibly a tenth. Possibly. Both were going 2800ish with low SDs. The 130s grouped a...

    Which 2-10 for me?

    Given that it's only out to 300, that NXS is actually a decent option. At max range, you'd probaby be using 10x and the SFP won't matter at that point, or you can dial wind if you feel like you need to. For FFP, I'd be looking at the MK5 or Trijicon Credo. If you want to go full hipster, you...

    Rifle Scopes Scope help for prs….atacr vs nx8 vs….

    I've never seen an issue with my friends' NX8 4-32s. People like to talk trash on its optics, but I kind of wonder if that's more of a 2.5-20 NX8 thing. I get spanked in PRS and NRL22 on the regular with guys running NX8s. If you MUST go MOA, then the MOA-XT seems to be decent. I will say...
