    Rifle Scopes S&B PM II 5-25 vs. NF ATACR 7-35

    One thing I know in the almost 20 years of shooting is S&B has never had to meet other's standards, The PMII has been the golden standard for all others, including NF. After that it all becomes a personal choice.

    OK Thanks Bob.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Parallax

    I've been looking at the VX 6 line from Leupold specifically 3-18 and 6-24. I've been trying to find the parallax scale and all I can find out is that it goes to infinity but nothing about how low it goes. I have come close with speculations from very reliable people but nothing certain as of...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for Hunting, Long Range AND Rimfire!

    Ilya, After continued searching I have still not been able to find the minimum parallax yardage for the Leupold. I have found a great deal on a Leupold VX 6HD 4-24 with an Impact 23 reticle which I find very favorable at $1500 delivered and believe could be the scope I've been looking for if...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for Hunting, Long Range AND Rimfire!

    Ilya, I've been following you for years and very happy to have you chime in my thread. Leupold was one of my top choices from the VX-5HD 3-18 and VX -6HD 6-24 unfortunately I believe (but not 100% sure) the parallax won't help me much when shooting rimfire or air rifle, again I might be wrong...

    Also, without starting a new thread does anyone know what happened to Killswitch, he used to have a sticky tracking different scopes and don't see it anymore. It has been a while since I've come here and not sure what's changed, if anything.

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for Hunting, Long Range AND Rimfire!

    Thanks Steve. You're absolutely right! The thing is everyone has their own tolerances where some can tolerate a not so forgiving eyebox. That being said I definitely have to take a look for myself now to make sure, it definitely has all the right stuff for an affordable scope. Again, thanks for...

    Lance, thanks for the feedback on the reticle. That would have killed it for me.

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for Hunting, Long Range AND Rimfire!

    Thank you all for your input. Definitely helpful. After looking at some of your options I am definitely considering the Athlon Ares 4.5-29. Everything falls within my tolerance levels. Also worth the risk at 2K less than my original option. I'll give you a call after the holidays Doug. Happy...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for Hunting, Long Range AND Rimfire!

    Been looking around at a scope to do everything Hunt, LR and Rimfire. Narrowed it down to a March 2.5-25x56, 10 yards parallax, 24.5 oz for the MOA with a selection of 4 reticles. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Does anyone know where I can get a mag retention spring for a T3 that attaches to the trigger assembly to keep the mags from falling. Been working on my rifle on and off for the last year and can't seem to find it anywhere. Any ideas are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Rifle Scopes $2,000 scope. WHY?!

    I have that scope. It came with my Savage as a set. It's not a bad scope for it's intended purpose. When you go into the $2K range compared to the Nikon you're using, all you'll need to do is look through one to tell the difference, it won't take an experienced shooter to see it, especially...

    Sorry to say to the OP but this was the first thing that went through my head after reading your post.

    DPMS Repr jamming issues

    If you haven't cleaned the bolt again check to see how much fouling has accumulated especially on the firing pin. If it's muddy, pasty it could be the problem. But also consider what CSAR FE said,to inspect for particles. If you find it clean with no apparent particles, try different ammo. If it...

    DPMS Repr jamming issues

    When did it start jamming? When you say bore cleaned, do you mean just the barrel. Did you clean your bolt, firing pin....etc. Excessive lube will trap carbon and create this type of jamming...especially when using dirty ammo. Just a thought.

    Rifle Scopes $2,000 scope. WHY?!

    Can you name the nice ones that you've had and maybe a better comparison can be made in terms of what more you're getting from a scope that costs over $1000.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner failure

    TimK could not have said it better but I'm sure that doesn't make you feel anymore comfort. Unfortunately you were the small % that was dealt a bad beat. The best thing to do is get past it now and see how well they resolve the issue. Hopefully they can go above the norm and keep you informed...
