    Rifle Scopes Reticle shift vortex viper pst

    I have recently received a replacement vortex viper pst scope (ffp, 6-24x, erb-2c reticle). I noticed that if I turn the windage adjustment, the reticle in the scope actually moves. Somehow I would have expected it to always remain centered. I haven't noticed it before with my first scope (it...

    Magazine for 300rum ? / AI AW 338 vs 300wm

    I'm trying to think of what gun/build I want for shooting out to about 1 mile. Seriously considering the 300rum over the regular 300wm. 338lm is not an option due to local regulations. However, does anyone know of magazines for the 300rum? I've been having a hard time finding data on the...

    AI AE / AW / AICS owners, which rear bag do you like?

    I just shot my AI AE Mk3 for the very first time. I have some trouble with my home-made rear bag and the shape of the stock. It works perfectly for more traditional stocks, but due to the mostly flat surface of the AI AE, it doesn't work as well with that. Can't seem to be able to point it to my...

    Recorded group sizes with different ammo

    My rifle was a bit inconsistent, but after shooting it shot a bit more (1200+ rds), it started tightening up a bit. I've discarded my findings about which ammo it likes best, and decided to start over. To make my hunt for the "best" ammo a bit more scientific, I decided I should actually...

    Accurate .22 AR upper?

    Most of you guys will probably not know this, but in the Netherlands we can only have 5 firearms for sporting purposes (6 if your a hunter, more if your a collector, but they have their own set of rules which I won't go in to). I'm currently at 3 (glock, cz455, AI AE), and plan on adding an...

    Which .308 projectile for 1000y target shooting, considering 20" barrel lenght

    If you would have a set range of 1000y, and a 20" (1/12 twist) barrel on your .308, which would be your preferred projectile? My gut says it would be easier to get something fairly heavy like the 175gr SMK up to a decent velocity (as to retain supersonic flight up to 1000y) rather than something...

    Rifle Scopes (Seekins/vortex) Low rings, 50mm objective, AI AE, can i pull it off?

    I'm about to order a vortex viper pst 6-24x50 for an AI AE, but not sure about the rings. I want to go as low as I can. I will be ordering the vortex low or medium rings (same as seekins, of which I have a low pair mounted on my rimfire rifle) The objective outside diameter is 2,26", the low...

    DIP rail + QD scope mount?

    Hey Guys, Does anyone know if there are any QD scope mounts that will work with the DIP rail (for a CZ 455) ? Until I can afford another scope I want to be able to swap my main optic faster than using normal rings. I like the larue spr mounts, but not sure if this is possible with the DIP...

    Experience with speer HPBT bullets .308 ?

    Does anyone have experience with speer HPBT Match bullets? I'm thinking about buying some for load development as they seem affordable. Sadly, minimum quantity here is 500, while sierra and lapua sell per 100. Since most of my shooting will be sub 300meters, 90% being at 100meters (~110y or...

    What determines barrel life?

    I have ordered myself a .308 AI AE, but already considering the future of the rifle. In the future I might want to shoot .260 or other 6,5mm cartridge. Generally speaking, 6,5mm calibers have a higher muzzle velocity, and shorter barrel life. 6mm even more so. My question being, barrel quality...

    [AR15] What if you could have only one lower
