    Rifle Scopes Problem with new NF

    I've had my NF 3.5-15x50 F1 MLR2 for about a month now, and just realized something that either wasn't there when I bought it or I just overlooked until now. From 3.5 to about 5 power, you can see a whiteish blob at the 6 o'clock position. Anybody know if this is fixable on my end (hit it on a...

    Big thanks to Randy at R&D Precision

    Long story short, I had a rifle put together by another "smith" while I was in Afghanyland about a year ago. Apparently he didn't use loctite on the screws that hold the base to the rifle. Well, about 500 rounds later, they started working loose. While I was shooting a week ago, the head of one...

    Problem loading 5R Milspec

    Hey guys, I just picked up my first 5R Milspec today. I can BARELY load 4 rounds into the magazine. When I do, the bolt will push the round forward about 1/2 inch then slide over it, scraping along the case. Anyone else have this problem with a new rifle? I'm hoping it just needs to be broken in...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon 4.5-18x56 mushy turrets

    Hey guys, my 4.5-18x56 Falcon has shitty turrets, which is normal from what I hear. I read somewhere that you can take off the turrets and wipe off the thick grease and reapply thinner grease to remedy this problem. So, I used the supplied allen wrench and took off the screw on the elevation...

    Rifle Scopes PH Parallex

    Is the parallex adjustment knob on the PH scopes marked with yard lines or not? Also, does anyone know if it's possible to custom order a USO SN-3 with the MTC option like a S&B or PH? Thanks, Mike

    Rifle Scopes Total Windage

    I'm thinking of purchasing a USO SN-3 3.2-17x44 in the near future (I'm waiting to decide until I get back from Iraq). I would want to get the US #3 M40 style knob with windage stop. I like the stop because I'm used to the S&B we use on our M40A3's, Mk11's, and SASR's, which offers 6 mils left...

    Rifle Scopes USO Elevation

    Quick question here: On the SN-3 series with the 1/10 mil EREK, once your elevation is maxed out, which I believe is 18 mils with a 30mm tube and 21 mils with a 34mm tube, does the turrett stop spinning? Thanks, Mike

    Range Report Wind and the SMK 175

    Just a general question here, what's the most windage you have ever had to apply at 1000 yds with a SMK 175? While I was at Sniper School, I remember using 4.5 mils right on the UKD range (wind was absolutely horrible) at, IIRC, roughly 950 yds. I ask this because I'm considering buying a USO...

    Rifle Scopes USO Windage

    How many mils of left and right windage do you get out of a USO SN-3 with a 34mm tube with the US #3 M40 style with windage stop? How about with a 30mm tube? Thanks guys, Mike.

    Accuracy with a SOCOM 16??

    I have a Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 that I'm thinking of having a local smith do some work on. Probably bed the stock, rework the trigger to about 3 pounds, and mount a ST-10 on. Just curious if anyone has done anything like this to a SOCOM 16 before and if so what kind of accuracy did you get...

    Rifle Scopes U.S. Optics

    I'm thinking about buying a USO 3.2-17. I'm up in the air on whether to get the 44mm or 58mm objective. I'm gonna be putting it on a .308 bolt gun that I'm having made for me. I like the T-Pal because I'm used to using the S&B 3-12x50mm M8541 that we have on our M40A3's. I know they only offer...
