    Rifle Scopes Optic cleaning

    Re: Optic cleaning In the field, I am more likely to have a lens brush and cloth in my pack than a can-o-air. But, because of the different type coatings used by various optics manufacturers, I would follow the cleaning instructions for their particular scope.

    Rifle Scopes Killflash effect on brightness - is it noticeable?

    Re: Killflash effect on brightness - is it noticeable? A USO ARD and sunshade is inbound for my SN3. The USO ARD fits inside the sunshade as opposed to my SS Kill Flash that attaches to the end of the sunshade. On the SS, I didn’t notice it was there. Like LoneWolfUSMC, I bought it to cut...

    Rifle Scopes falcon or SS scope

    Re: falcon or SS scope I shot with an SS for two years until I could afford a USO. The SS held true and served me very well. If you can afford a USO, get one. There is no better glass. But if $400 is what you can afford, you will be very happy with its perfomance. PUT'EM IN THE BLACK!

    Which stock for precision AR?

    Re: Which stock for precision AR? Stockwell is what I meant to type. Brain was not engaged. I do mean the cheek to stock posture that positions the eye in line with the sights or scope. The adjustable cheek piece permits the height of the stock to be situated so that the shooter does not...

    Which stock for precision AR?

    Re: Which stock for precision AR? +1 on the MAGPUL PRS. I saw a couple of fully adjustable AR stocks and chose this one. My JP15 is shooting sub MOA groups. The PRS stock adjustments give me a natural spotwell and comfortable reach, both contributing to an accurate shot.

    Rem M700 - 308 Build

    Re: Rem M700 - 308 Build LoneWolfUSMC: I bought the SN-3 T-PAL here on the Hide from beenjammin. He got it in January and decided that he needed mil-mil vice MOA-MOA. So, I got a new SN-3 specked out just how I wanted one and didn't have the normal wait. I did order an SN12R from USO...

    Re: wanting to build another rifle not sure on cal... There are several really good rounds that perform well at longer ranges. To give you some food for thought, if you define the terminal ballistics you require, you'll narrow the number of possible rounds that will meet your needs. Hope...
