    Trying to ID a Scope Mount - Possibly Mil NV?

    Thanks Trigger Monkey! Googled it for more info and it looks like it is from the mid/late 90s. This makes sense because the scope was made in 1995. Just for reference in case someone else turns up with one of these here is a brochure from KAC about their NV that mentions the NADS/TADS system...

    Trying to ID a Scope Mount - Possibly Mil NV?

    That's good info. I am probably going to hang onto the scope and will probably use it on one of my my mil-clone ARs.

    Trying to ID a Scope Mount - Possibly Mil NV?

    Unfortunately it is not a 16X but a 6X - and it has M3 turrets calibrated for M118 - M118 is actually engraved on the dial. I didn't even know Leupold made a 6X Mark 4 until I saw this scope and googled it. The seller also had the pelican cases that the rifles were deployed in, I assume the...

    What type of mount is this? The scope is a Leupold Mark 4 fixed power. Perhaps a old Mil NV mount?

    Where to start with a spotting scope?

    Looking for my first spotting scope. I am working on a budget right now, trying to keep it under $400. Use would be for 5.56 out to 400 yards. Looking for something with good quality, mil-dots also a plus. What level of magnification would be recommended for that range and round? Found many...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold elevation knobs? Did they change from CW to CCW?

    I came across a Leupold VX III 3.5-10x40 from the late 90s that originally had a clockwise rotating elevation knob, it was supposedly was repaired by Leupold at which time they installed a counterclockwise knob. The tube is still marked for the CW rotation though. Anyone ever heard of something...

    Rifle Scopes Price of a Reticle Change from Leupold?

    I recall having a reticle changed to a Mil-Dot a few years ago and it cost under a 100 bucks and also read on several forums it being in the 100 dollar range. Called Leupold today and was quoted $159.99, wondering if I got someone that misunderstood what I wanted or of if they have raised their...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold M3 Elevation Knobs – 148/-50gr .308

    Does Leupold make a M3 Elevation Knob for 148-150gr .308 ammo? All the ones I have seen are 168gr. I have one I want to use on an H&K-91 (G3) and all the ammo I have for it is 148-150 gr. If I have to get a custom one made any idea what they charge, at least a ballpark estimate.

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Scopes and Reticle Styles

    Re: Newbie Question - Scopes and Reticle Styles Budget is under $400 max, preferably under $300. The ranges I usually go to max out at 200 yds, there is one 600 yd range about two hours away, this would be the farthest I would ever plan on shooting. There also is a Weaver 2.5-10X50 in the...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Scopes and Reticle Styles

    I just bought a Remington 700 PSS that I need to be a general purpose bolt gun, for hunting as well as (god forbid) tactical (SHTF) use. I am a newbie to precision rifles but have plenty of trigger time on ARs and other tactical rifles with ACOGs and other magnified optics, but all the CQB...
