    Rifle Scopes Same glass for every rifle???

    Re: Same glass for every rifle??? I have to say that given my funding options (very limited) I have different glass on all of my rifles. I do have a brand preference that I generally stick to unless I find an outstanding deal on something. I have recently acquired a Burris XTR624 and am...

    Rifle Scopes Spotting scope questions

    i am looking for a good -inexpensive- spotting scope with a mildot reticle. I can't seem to find anything via internet searches and i have never used a mildot for range estimation and would like to acquire this skill. I also would like to know if any one has a "cheat sheet" for ranging. I...

    Re: Seekins AR Lower pics maybe i missed this but are you making or are you going to make a .308 lower? your design looks very well thought out. love the little "mag hook" on the fron of the lower... slap it up and roll that mag in! Also if you want a little help with anodizing i might be...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? i actually feel a little violated now. after talking to a leupold dealer a couple years ago i was under the impression that just about everything leupold was foreign made but turns out that about everything he carried was the low end...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? I did not say leupold was made in china, just overseas. I do not know where they are made i tend to not look at items after i notice they are not made in USA. and if you notice a few posts back i specified, and you quoted me on it, that...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? Don't get me wrong - the quality (in my experience) is what one would expect: very high. But since I work in an American factory I prefer to purchase 100% American made products when ever possible. I also own a Ziess - simply "Assembled...

    Rifle Scopes Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables?

    Re: Are the fixed Leupolds better than the variables? imho none of the leupolds are the same since they're made overseas. that's why i stick with burris (signature select, black diamond, erodiamond, xtr - the usa made ones). not to mention the few times i have dealt with their customer...

    Rifle Scopes My 7th broken scope.

    Re: My 7th broken scope. I am a Burris man... main reason being made in USA. For my hunting scopes i prefer a 40mm or 44mm in 3-9 or 3-12. I also prefer Burris Signature ZEE rings - your not gonna mark or mar up much less break a tube and you dont need to lap them. I do completely believe...

    Gunsmithing 1/4 moa out of armalite AR-10? ur input please

    Re: 1/4 moa out of armalite AR-10? ur input please 1/4 moa from ar10? when you do meet him at the range i want to be there for the 100 yard proving because 1/4 moa is going to be about .260 and since a .308 is well, .308... it wont fit. Not that he can't prove it at 200. I don"t even own a...

    Need input/advice on stocks.

    I've saved up enough dough to buy the rifle to go under my scope. So for now I need input on stocks. Here's what I know: I love pistol grips - I can get my bigass hand on it. I am "comfortable" with all of my hunting rifles - the "monte carlo" style. You know, factory. I have a...

    Why no Ruger's?

    Re: Why no Ruger's? the 7mm-08 is a mod 10. I happen to have just enough dough to get it. i figure if i want i can rebarrel it anyway. i'm gonna have to pack up on brass and everything for loading. I have a buddy who hunts with a 7mm-08... he's not a reloader but maybe he's one of those...

    Why no Ruger's?

    Re: Why no Ruger's? I also want input on stocks. I have narrowed my search for a stock to these: In order of my preference: McMillan ADJ A3-5, McMillan A3 Sharp Shooter Supply LVT or a McMillan A5 I guess i want the most input on stock now... assuming any barreled action would outperform...

    Why no Ruger's?

    Re: Why no Ruger's? would you go with a 7mm-08? because i could have got one today for $369 with accutrigger. its brand new at Van's - they bought a bunch of them and got a good deal and its the last one. I may call and get them to hold it for me. Also why not go with a .308 - it seems to...

    Why no Ruger's?

    Re: Why no Ruger's? Well I made up my mind on my optics today... brought home a Burris XTR624 from the fine folks at Van's Outdoors in Cullman, AL. Also brought home a set of Burris Signature Rings too but I have never used them and have always thought of them as "gimmicky" because of the...

    Why no Ruger's?

    I am new to LR shooting. And I consider 500 yards long range any way. So for up to and beyond 1000 yards... why doesn't any one use a Ruger? It seems as tho every forum you hit (this one being my favorite) Remingtons dominate. Is this because the Remington is the dominant rifle or because...
