    Rifle Scopes how to compare the low-mag scopes: 1-6 / 1-8, etc.

    You can find some really good deals on the gen 1 sig tango6 1-6x's right about now.

    Anyone recognize the barrel on this Armalite AR10.

    I don't recognize it, and I prowled around the interwebs for a few minutes with no luck. Possibly a custom jobber from a barrelsmith? I know Faxon released some barrels with integrates brakes not -too- long ago, and it seemed to be a newer thing when that happened. Although I wouldn't doubt...

    Ar10 double grouping

    Just out of curiosity, how would shooter error just happen to perfectly cause alternate group placement every other round? Those of you suggesting shooter error are saying that he's posturing a particular way when it's a round loaded from the left side of the magazine, and then differently when...

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms?

    If you're specifically speaking about their own branded optics, they're mostly budget minded optics that are serviceable, and probably punch above their weight. As a company in general, they're pretty solid to deal with.

    Rifle Scopes If I can go 2.4 mils below ZeroStop.....

    One of my scopes goes 2 clicks below the zero stop, which is to say, it can go .2 mils below zero. I'm assuming your scope clicks equal .1 mils each... so are you saying your scope goes 24 clicks below your zero stop?

    Rifle Scopes Razor amg question

    I appreciate the effort on Vortex's part to make an all American scope, but in the end, it doesn't matter. The fact that I placed an order for one of these nearly a year ago, and it's still not been delivered, however, does. Particularly with so many new offerings constantly hitting the...

    Rifle Scopes True Return to Zero mounts

    Bobro is the easiest of the QD systems, in my opinion. Never been a fan of the ADM lever system, just seems like it wiggles itself loose. I've also read a lot of people complain about the Larue stuff scarring their rails, which makes sense when you see how they actually work. As for what...

    Caliber suggestion - small frame AR

    Paper and steel. Prefer to buy ammo, as I don't have the time or space for reloading. Basically, I am just looking for a load that performs well ballistically, for the sake of it. ive seen both the 22 Nosler and the 22-250 sharps come up here and there.

    Caliber suggestion - small frame AR

    As the title says, I'm looking for caliber suggestions that work for small frame(AR-15) platform, which stretches the effective range of the weapon as far out as possible. Is the 22 Nosler the latest and greatest?

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex 1-8 ????

    Problem is, 'a few years ago' may as well be ancient history, in regards to the world of 1-8x scopes! I do appreciate the suggestion though.

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex 1-8 ????

    An all encompassing thread comparing 1-8x scopes would be nice. Even including some of the lower end stuff like the primary arms 1-8 sfp and the Atibal xp8 1-8x. I think they're all at least somewhat relevant, as manufacturers figure out how to instill more bang for the buck in optics...

    Rifle Scopes Need help zeroing Steiner M5Xi 5-25, can't move elevation down.

    Ok, well that makes sense. So is it common that scopes have a little more or a little less than their actual spec'd overall elevation adjustment? Is that the norm? Or is it more likely a scope will have exactly 260 clicks(.1 mil), when a manufacturer lists their elevation range as being 26 mil?

    Rifle Scopes Need help zeroing Steiner M5Xi 5-25, can't move elevation down.

    Ok, well now I'm curious.. Blackmaxx, how can you have 26.9 mils of travel on a scope that specifies it has 26 mils of elevation range? I'm not questioning your assertion, just wondering what am I missing here?

    Rifle Scopes Anyone else seem to have bad luck with optics?

    I understand that optics are merely tools to be used, up to and including the very high end stuff, but the amount of posts here claiming failure is rather disconcerting. Whether it's one guy having ALL bad luck, or the other ten of you having a lemon here and there, it still seems that the...

    Rifle Scopes Need help zeroing Steiner M5Xi 5-25, can't move elevation down.

    Have you checked to make sure your scope can perform the entire 26 mils of advertised adjustment? If it can, the answer is simple, and that 40 MOA of cant plus whatever your rifle/barrel alignment are just doesn't jive. If you don't have the full 26 mils, then something is definitely wrong...

    New Larue Tactical OBR. Is this me or the rifle?

    I'm interested to know how the replace my from Larue worked out. Wondering if the short stroking was somehow inducing the flier. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but hopefully your short stroking us at least a thing of the past. Do the OBR's not have an adjustable gas block, like an SLR?

    Lightweight 6.5 CM project

    I was torn between lightweight and 'most stable/accurate' setup when I built my .308 gas gun. I did something similar to yours in that I piece-mealed it together from high end parts, but went heavy, since it was just meant to be a bench gun. Started with a Mega Maten MML reciever and handguard...

    Rifle Scopes Need help zeroing Steiner M5Xi 5-25, can't move elevation down.

    26 mils divided by two equals 13. That set up with 40 MOA is equivalent to 11.63 mils, which would put you very close to the max adjustment. I imagine you set your zero stop with your last rifle, which probably cut into some of the adjustment, likely accounting for that extra 1.37 mils...

    Rifle Scopes Atibal xp8 1-8x

    This scope might be a little bit on the 'low end' for this forum, but I'm curious if anyone out there has any experience with it. Particularly in comparison to the primary arms 1-8x SFP scope(350$ version). I read somewhere that they are produced by the same chinese manufacturer, and a look at...
