    Rifle Scopes Leupold VXR Patrol 3-9 vs Mk4 LR/T 3.5-10

    Scoping a .308 gasser, Smith M&P 10. Rifle used for deer hunting in Georgia, occasional long range play to 700 at least, and anything else I might want it for. In the past I have had an older Vari-x III LR/T 3.5-10 M3 on a 700 .308 and enjoyed the simplicity and speed of the cam system. Because...

    M&P 10 Considerations...or maybe a bolt gun

    I'm looking to step up the ballistic performance of my "outside" rifle in both effective range and barrier performance. I'm a civilian and CCW a pistol daily. If I suspect that I might need to shoot something (Katrina, Rodney King riots, etc) my 5.56 SBR will go everywhere with me. You can...

    Rifle Scopes How much elevation travel AR15?

    I'm not sure if the wording is clear, but here's the idea: When shooting a scope on a long range bolt gun, guys typically use a 20MOA or 40MOA base so that they cheat enough adjustment into zero so they have enough turret travel to get them to longer ranges. Bolt gun optics are mounted much...

    Getting into another .308 bolt gun?

    Hey guys, here's my story. Check it out and see what you recommend. I bought the following rifle from a mutual friend on the recommendation of (at that time) a Marine Sniper buddy: Custom Remington 700 Varmint, .308 Win 24" Barrel - crowned and cryoed Action blueprinted Lugs Lapped 2lb...

    DD Lightweight RECCE-ish build...Dope look right?

    In anticipation of the arrival of my DD MK18, I started shopping for scopes for my 16" to give it more of a recce role. I found a good deal on a used Nightforce 2.5-10x24 w/Larue SPR1.5 on the EE here. When I received it, both the scope and mount had been painted. Last night, while my wife...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NP-1 Reticle Holds 75gr 223

    I recently got a very good deal on a Nightforce 2.5-10x24 from a member here. It has the NP-1 reticle and right now, I'm just not all about sinking another $300 into this scope for a reticle change (it wouldn't be a very good deal anymore if I did that). I plan to shoot the NP-1 for awhile and...

    Rifle Scopes Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes?

    I can't find one of these anywhere. Now, if I had infinite funds, the new Leupold MK6 is the easy answer, but I simply don't have $2K to spend on an optic. All I want is a 1-6 scope, with a mil hash reticle and matching .1 mil turrets. Some sort of illumination would be nice, but not...

    Rifle Scopes Effectiveness of a ranging reticle?

    I'm trying to learn about using a scope's reticle to estimate range. So far, the Mil scale reticle seems the easiest for me to use. Here's my question, though: Size of target (yds) * 1000 ---------------------------- size of target (mils) Still requires a calculator, at least for me...

    Rifle Scopes 700yd (600 is ok) Precision(ish) AR - glass?

    The rifle in question currently wears a 16" DD CHF barrel, but depending upon how it performs at range, I'm not opposed to changing it. I want this to serve primarily as a precision rifle for shooting targets and steel out to 600 or 700 yds. I'd also like it to be useful for something as close...

    Bolt or auto? Swap my 700 for an SPR?

    Sorry, I wasn't sure whether to post this in the bolt forum or the auto forum. Here's the deal: I have what I consider to be a pretty nice 700 setup. Click here for pics and targets: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...659#Post2452659 The problem is, I can't really afford to shoot it...

    Introduction: Rem 700 + Trigger Question

    Hello Gents, This is my first post on this forum. I've played around with long-range shooting on and off over the last 7 or so years. I began in college with a used 700 Varmint that had some work done to it, but I sold it (poor college kid). I've since graduated, gotten married, and...
