I've got a Remington 700 .300 Blackout with a B&C stock. The plain black isn't working for me, but don't want to drop any more coin than I have to (rather spend it on ammo). Let's see your 'rattlecan' spraypaint finished rifle stocks!

Hey guys, I have a Remington 700 in .300 Blackout in a Bell & Carlson tactical stock that I use pest control around my property. For use at night I currently have a small Streamlight TLR-1 mounted on top of my forward scope ring. It works, but it's not ideal. Looking around for some different...

I've decided my next long gun is going to be a precision rifle. Most of my rifle experience has been with AR format guns in various calibers and so I've decided on a bolt action rather than an AR10 platform. I've had a Ruger 77 in .30-06 for years, but I don't feel hunting out to 300 yards is...

I'm looking to get into long range shooting and would like some recommendations for a 'starter' bolt gun/optics package. (Yes, I've already searched a number of threads here and while there's a lot of good information it can tend to be rather conflicting at times.) I don't shoot competitively...

I'm looking for a lower power, lit reticle optic for my AR. It'll be used for up close, out to 300 or so yards. I don't have the funds for an ACOG and was looking at the Burris AR-332. Does anyone have any experience with this optic?

I'm looking for a low to mid-range power scope for my FAL. I want something that will work out to about 300 yards or so, but will also work up close as well. The Burris 1.5-6x40 Xtreme Tactical XTR looks like it might fit the bill, but would like to hear from someone who actually has some...

Is there a 'standard' when it comes to torquing scope ring screws? When I got my IOR it specified a certain number of inch pounds, but not many other makers seem to provide this info.

I've had a Remington 700 VTR in .223 Remington sitting in my gunsafe for a while now waiting for some glass. I wanted one of the upgraded Falcon Menace 1.5-5x30SIR scopes, but got tired of waiting and found a brand new Falcon Menace 7.5x50 for $175 shipped. Figured it would be worth a try at...

I have a Remington 700 VTR in .223 that I plan to use as an "around the property" varmint gun. (This will primarily be coyotes and raccoons.) As shots will most likely be under 100 yards I'm thinking a scope in the 1-4x range would be optimal. I also want an illuminated reticle as light...

I hear the updated Falcon Menace 1.5-5x30SIR is supposed to be out towards the end of the month. Where's a good place to look for one of these?

I'm still relatively new here and have learned a lot, but I'd like to tap the collective experience here with regards to quality glass in different price ranges. In order to establish at least some kind of continuity I'll say that these scopes should be designed for tactical/competition use at...

Well, the wait was longer than expected, the cost was more than anticipated, but it's done! I probably won't get a chance to shoot it until tomorrow though. I've only got a few rounds loaded so it won't be a big deal anyway. Just enough to check for function and see if my load data will work...

I recently purchased an IOR 2-12x32 (which is really nice!). I'd like to put some lens covers on it, but due to the shape of the eyepiece I'm not sure if this will work. Any suggestions?

Hello all, I've used various pistols and revolvers, as well as black "ammo eating" rifles, for over 20 years now, but I don't have a lot of experience with precision, distance bolt guns other than standard factory deer rifles. Having hung out here at Sniper's Hide for a few months I'm feeling...

Here's my Spike's Tactical ST-22 dedicated upper on an Oly lower. I'm in the process of putting together a Noveske lower that I'll be using for both the ST-22 and my 6.5 Grendel build. Right now the Spike's is wearing a cheap, Chinese Vector Optics scope, but I think I'll switch to a Falcon...

Over the years I have come to the opinion that most people buy more magnification than they need. So, just out of curiosity, what maximum magnification do you feel is optimum for the following ranges? 100 yards 250 yards 500 yards 750 yards 1000 yards

Does anyone know the email address for Falcon Optics? I've got some questions for them, but their site has been down for some time.

Having spent more on my scope than I have on my rifle I want to make sure I don't screw anything up. The IOR paperwork that came with my scope specifies 12 in/lb max when tightening the scope ring screws. Two novice questions... 1) I've looked for a torque hex head screwdriver, but can't...

I'm in the process of putting together an 18" AR in 6.5 Grendel. It will primarily be used as a hunting gun (deer and coyote), but would like to be able to use it as a SD carbine should the need ever arise. I would therefore like an optic that will allow me to make long range shots as well as...

I can't seem to find a lot of information on the Falcon Menace 1.5-5x30SIR. Does anyone know what kind of reticle it has?
