    Rifle Scopes Sightmark 1-6x24

    I was in a store today and saw this scope in the display case. I had never even heard of this brand before. I was impressed that it was a 1-6 power. While it weighed about as much as a tank, it also seemed built to the same quality. The glass seemed clear. The reticle was nice. And for...

    If you could start from scratch, what do you buy?

    Back story - I have been shooting only about 5 years. First pistol, then IPSC / IDPA. Then rifle (AR-15) and then 3 gun. Then 18 months or so ago I bought a LWRC REPR and shot some F-Class (my range is 300 yards). Then I bought a Sig SSG3000 within the last year and did much better in F-Class...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron has a 1-7x24 scope?

    I have been considering a new scope for 3 gun. I currently use a Leupold Mark IV 1.5-5. I have been checking out the 1-4 and upcoming 1-6 offerings. Nowhere have I seen mention the Sightron 1-7, until I am on this site and an ad pops up for this scope. I then found it on Sightron's website...

    Sig SSG 3000

    I got myself a lightly used Sig SSG 3000 a few weeks ago. My friend had put about 200 rounds through it and was moving on to a Steyr. And thanks to research and advice on this site, I ordered a Nightforce 8-32x56 benchrest scope for it and mounted it with Nightforce rings, the correct height...

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide on scope rings / mount

    I have a Sig SSG 3000 rifle. I ordered a NF 8-32x56 benchrest scope. Thanks to info on this site, I was able to make a good decision on the scope. And I have been able to make an informed decision about ring / mount height. I have figured out that I need rings or a mount with a centerline at...

    Rifle Scopes Do I want / need a 20 MOA base?

    I have a Sig SSG 3000. I am getting close to a NightForce scope, either the 8-32 or 12-42 benchrest model. Do I want / need a 20 MOA base for this set up? 95%+ of the shooting will be done a 300 meter F-Class. Some will be done at 100 yards (playing, zeroing). And I hope to try out a 600 yard...

    Rifle Scopes Thinking of getting optics & mounts for F-class

    I shot two F class matches last year, and a few so far this year. All have been 300 meters. I have used my LWRC REPR with Leupold Mark IV 6.5-20, but I want to upgrade that rig. I have already acquired a Sig SSG 3000 through a trade with a friend. Now I need mounts and optics. I am considering...

    Suppressors Is your rifle as accurate w/ suppressor as w/ out?

    I have an LWRC REPR. I have shot a total of four 300 meter matches with it. I think my class is F/TR. I am shooting with a scope and bi-pod. The two times I shot without the supressor, I got lots of 8,9,10 and the occasional X. I shot around 525 for my score. I know, that sucks, but in my...

    Suppressors Change on POI with suppressor

    I have a LWRC REPR in .308. I had data on the rifle for 100 and 300 yard zero. I knew that I had to come up 5.25 MOA from my 100 yard zero to be on at 300 yards. I then installed an AAC 7.62SD. Shift was about 4" down and 1" to the right at 100 yards. I then re-zeroed at 100 yards. I did not...

    Rifle Scopes Do I understand parallax?

    I have a Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 6.5-20x50 w/ TMR reticle. The scope has a parallax adjustment on the left hand side. This knob has 5 dots in descending size, and then the infinity symbol. My understanding is to adjust the focus ring on the back of the scope (the part closest to my eye) for my...

    Range Report First time at 300 yards and doing it in a match.

    So, I got myself a Rem 700 LTR in .308 w/ 20" barrel a few months ago. I have put 100 or so rounds down range at 100 yards. I have the rifle nicely zeroed at this distance. There is match at my club Saturday, a 300 yard match, and I have been invited to join in. I figured, "Heck, might as well...

    Range Report What ammo to try?

    I am going to get my first precision rifle, a Rem 700 LTR in .308 that already has some nice stuff on it. I am not a reloader, so I am going to start with factory ammo. (I know, I know, start reloading, but I want to shoot later this week) I already have a line of some FGMM. That seems to be...

    Thinking about my first prescion rifle....

    As you can gather from the title, I am thinking about jumping into the precision rifle group. I am fairly new to guns, just picking up handguns 2 ½ years ago, and I bought my first rifle (AR-15) about 6 months ago. I enjoy shooting IPSC and Tactical 3 gun. I am thinking I might also enjoy some...

    Does anyone here not reload?

    Hello all. I am fairly new to guns. Got into handguns 2 1/2 years ago, bought my first long gun (LWRC M6A2) back in May / June. I shoot IPSC and 3 gun and am thinking of getting into the precision game. I have been lurking here for a few weeks and one theme I notice is that everyone seems to...
