    Rifle Scopes Leupold VXR Patrol 3-9 vs Mk4 LR/T 3.5-10

    Lots of looks, only one reply. Any more insight? Everyone just hates Leupold too much?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VXR Patrol 3-9 vs Mk4 LR/T 3.5-10

    Scoping a .308 gasser, Smith M&P 10. Rifle used for deer hunting in Georgia, occasional long range play to 700 at least, and anything else I might want it for. In the past I have had an older Vari-x III LR/T 3.5-10 M3 on a 700 .308 and enjoyed the simplicity and speed of the cam system. Because...

    M&P 10 Considerations...or maybe a bolt gun

    To answer your first question: Because my 30/06 is a 1976 Ruger M77 in a walnut stock and is not a very accurate rifle. I've shot it on paper trying to determine groups and get dope. The first 3 shots at 100yds are good, basically a cloverleaf (not one-hole, though). The problem is after...

    M&P 10 Considerations...or maybe a bolt gun

    I'm looking to step up the ballistic performance of my "outside" rifle in both effective range and barrier performance. I'm a civilian and CCW a pistol daily. If I suspect that I might need to shoot something (Katrina, Rodney King riots, etc) my 5.56 SBR will go everywhere with me. You can...

    Rifle Scopes How much elevation travel AR15?

    Re: How much elevation travel AR15? Thank you! So that means with the scope mounted straight to the AR flattop, I'm out of elevation at about 400-450 yds. Another 20moa (canted riser) would allow me to push out to 900. Sound right?

    Rifle Scopes How much elevation travel AR15?

    I'm not sure if the wording is clear, but here's the idea: When shooting a scope on a long range bolt gun, guys typically use a 20MOA or 40MOA base so that they cheat enough adjustment into zero so they have enough turret travel to get them to longer ranges. Bolt gun optics are mounted much...

    Getting into another .308 bolt gun?

    Hey guys, here's my story. Check it out and see what you recommend. I bought the following rifle from a mutual friend on the recommendation of (at that time) a Marine Sniper buddy: Custom Remington 700 Varmint, .308 Win 24" Barrel - crowned and cryoed Action blueprinted Lugs Lapped 2lb...

    DD Lightweight RECCE-ish build...Dope look right?

    In anticipation of the arrival of my DD MK18, I started shopping for scopes for my 16" to give it more of a recce role. I found a good deal on a used Nightforce 2.5-10x24 w/Larue SPR1.5 on the EE here. When I received it, both the scope and mount had been painted. Last night, while my wife...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NP-1 Reticle Holds 75gr 223

    I recently got a very good deal on a Nightforce 2.5-10x24 from a member here. It has the NP-1 reticle and right now, I'm just not all about sinking another $300 into this scope for a reticle change (it wouldn't be a very good deal anymore if I did that). I plan to shoot the NP-1 for awhile and...

    Rifle Scopes Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes?

    Re: Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes? The USO is nice for sure, but at $1600 with the C2 reticle, I'd rather just go all out and get the MK6. However, if that Leupold custom shop thing is for real and costs less than $1200, that's the clear winner.

    Rifle Scopes Simple request...1-6 w/useful reticle...who makes?

    I can't find one of these anywhere. Now, if I had infinite funds, the new Leupold MK6 is the easy answer, but I simply don't have $2K to spend on an optic. All I want is a 1-6 scope, with a mil hash reticle and matching .1 mil turrets. Some sort of illumination would be nice, but not...

    Re: 700yd (600 is ok) Precision(ish) AR - glass? Well, last week I traded this: For this: So I have 5-6 months (waiting for ATF paperwork) to find a deal on a used NF. (to go on my 16" gun, not the MK18) I discussed the purchase with my wife, and my max budget is $1200. Do you think...

    Rifle Scopes 700yd (600 is ok) Precision(ish) AR - glass?

    Re: 700yd (600 is ok) Precision(ish) AR - glass? I'm hearing more and more issues with the Vortex stuff. I know they have great CS, but I'm starting to look more at Leupold and Nightforce. I've also pretty much decided that I want the top end magnification, so that puts me in the 2.5-10...

    Rifle Scopes Effectiveness of a ranging reticle?

    I'm trying to learn about using a scope's reticle to estimate range. So far, the Mil scale reticle seems the easiest for me to use. Here's my question, though: Size of target (yds) * 1000 ---------------------------- size of target (mils) Still requires a calculator, at least for me...
