    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR glass quality? For Savage FCP 308

    I own one, I’d say it’s exactly what you pay for. A $300 scope with $300 scope glass. Will it do the job? Of course. Will the picture be crispy at full mag? Not particularly. That being said I shoot paper at 100 regularly and it does the job just fine on my .22. On my long range gun I use an...

    Rifle Scopes New Arken Mil EP4 dot size

    Just curious if anyone here has experience with both the original Arken EP4 and the newest ones to ship that supposedly have a larger center dot. The old dot got lost for me but I may be in if the new version is more consistent with other scopes in the industry. Anyone know the size of each...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Setup - Bergara HMR Pro with Heavy Barrel

    I don’t know about Leupold rings but I’m running medium Vortex rings on my Bergara and they are perfect height

    Rear bag recommendations

    Weibad Range cube or a Creedmoor Sports Soup Can. I’ve switched to this shape and never looked back. At least for range work. Fits the hand beautifully and offers a firm foundation for the rifle to recoil straight back and return.

    I'm a total scrub!

    Another thumbs up for the Bergara. They are consistently sub MOA and more often than not 1/2 MOA shooters out of the box. If the HMR stock is a bit heavy for you then go with a more traditional stock. But you won’t get a more accurate factory gun and the action and factory triggers are excellent...

    Bergara B-14 Wilderness Muzzle Brake

    I run these VG6 brakes on my ARs. They are excellent for the purpose. I have two Bergara HMRs and both are wearing Ultradyne Apollo S brakes. The guys on the range are astounded that I’m even running a brake. They are not much louder than with no brake and have almost no ground effect. And they...

    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    Seiko Stainless dive watch. Mine has been on my wrist for 25 years without servicing and runs like a champ. And when it dies, I’ll pick up another for the next 25 years of use. If that day ever comes. Be aware with Rolex, you’ll require regular expensive service intervals to maintain warranty.

    Custom Ammo Box - Need Help

    These cases almost seem like spending money just for spending money’s sake. Or a solution looking for a problem. Holy hell. $250 to hold my rounds at the range? No thanks.

    Rifle Scopes Adjusting your scope

    First do some study about zeroing a rifle scope. Zeroing the scope has nothing to do with tightening the group up. Only with bringing the average centerpoint of that group closer to your point of aim. The average size of the group is simply a function of your skill level coupled with the...

    Rifle Scopes How close is too close?

    I had this issue on a Ruger RPR .22. Just shave the bottom of my scope cap thin and it slid into place.

    Starting out

    Just throw an Athlon Talos on it in some Vortex rings and a Harris bipod be done with it. That’s as far as I would go with this rifle. At best it will be a hunting rig. The stock us severely lacking in the Savage and it’s just not worth it to go down the road of restocking it because you still...

    Best Muzzle Brake for the money

    If it will fit your barrel, look up the Ultradyne Apollo S. Self timing. Very little rearward blast. Barely louder than no brake and cut recoil in half on my 6mm. Made a soft shooter into a super soft shooter. I’ll be putting one on my sons gun now.

    Bergara HMR Pro-Brake recommendation?

    I’m using an Ultradyne Apollo S on HMR Pro in 6mm. It’s self timing, fits up beautifully and performs flawlessly. Not only is it quieter than other brakes on the market, there is very little ground disturbance and little blowback to the other shooters on the line. All of the guys on our range...

    Suppressors Form 1 efile nightmare

    Has anyone else experienced the nightmare of filing out a form 1 efile lately? I cannot get through the whole thing without some type of error on the line item. Every time I fill it out the pertinent boxes either cannot be filled out, or do not save, or when I finally think I might have it, the...

    Rifle Scopes 6.5 Creedmoor - single bolt action. Need a scope (Beginner scope)

    If the diameter works for your barrel I highly suggest the Ultradyne Apollo S brake. My 6 mm feels like a soft AR. And the noise level is not much higher than running without

    Rifle Scopes Arhlon warranty Comes through.

    So I had a misshap with my Ares a few weeks back. My rifle was packed in a Savior case and sitting on a chair about 1.5 feet off the ground when it got bumped and hit the ground. I gave the scope a once over and all looked fine so I brushed it off. Got home and while cleaning realized the mag...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    I've had the EP4 and the reticle was simply too small for me. Center dot got lost on anying dark or at dusk. I exchanged it for the SHR which will take awhile to come in but I'm hoping it's the right move. Can you tell me if the crosshairs on the center of the SHR cover the target or are they a...

    Rifle Scopes Monstrum Scopes

    I'm using the Ares BTR now and I believe it's likely one of the best in it's price point. Very bright glass for what it is. Plus Athlons warranty will cover anything you can throw at it. There are plenty reviews so I won't go there but suffice to say if it's in your range then you won't be...
