    Rifle Scopes Reticle off centered?

    Re: Reticle off centered? Damn... Now is this just a cosmetic issue? Or will it be a problem at longer ranges? Since I'm in Canada I'd have to wait another 3 weeks and pay another 25$ duty charge plus the shipping on Matt's end for a replacement. Should I have it replaced?

    Rifle Scopes Reticle off centered?

    Re: Reticle off centered? Well, I went out and shot it this afternoon. I ran it through the box and it tracked well. I did have some trouble sighting it in but that's because I mucked it up a bit. Overall the thing seems to work fine, although I am having a real hard time getting the...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle off centered?

    Re: Reticle off centered? Unfortunately I don't think I can get you much better of a picture then those. If it is off centered it is VERY slightly off. I phoned Matt and he said they checked it so now I really don't know. If it was slightly off would that be a big deal? Would I get dramatic...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle off centered?

    Re: Reticle off centered? I optically zeroed it before I mounted it, then I mounted it and looked through it and noticed this.

    Rifle Scopes Reticle off centered?

    Hey guys, I just got my replacement WOTAC this week. After mounting the scope I look through it and notice that the reticle looks a little bit off centered. I'm not sure if it's just me though. A little bit hard to tell in the pictures, but what do you think?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce base mounting problems :(

    Re: Nightforce base mounting problems :( Thanks Mike. I think I'm having that screw problem because the base is canted, sorry for another noob question :P It's my first precision rifle. As for bedding, I figure i'd only do that if accuracy starts to go down hill.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce base mounting problems :(

    So i'm mounting my NF base, and two problems occur. One, I get 4 large screws and 2 small screws. Now since I can't find any instructions on the NF bases, and the Badgers seem almost identical, i'm using theirs. So BO says to use two large ones for the rear, and 1 large and 1 small for the front...

    Rifle Scopes Is it possible to have too little clearance?

    Re: Is it possible to have too little clearance? I'm running this on a .308, so I guess I don't even need to worry about the bolt touching. Do you think there would be any flex with the .308? Or will those lows work just fine? I sent off an email to Nightforce to see what they say. I figure...

    Rifle Scopes Is it possible to have too little clearance?

    Re: Is it possible to have too little clearance? The thing is I have to order my rings from the US, and me being in Canada I don't want to have to ship them back and pay for shipping and duty again if I get something thats the wrong size. If my math is correct, am I right in the sense that...

    Rifle Scopes Is it possible to have too little clearance?

    Re: Is it possible to have too little clearance? Oh, Thanks Brian. This is my first real precision bolt gun you see, and I heard someone warn me about rings being too low and causing problems with the bolt and eye piece.

    Rifle Scopes Is it possible to have too little clearance?

    Re: Is it possible to have too little clearance? Then I guess the meds are what I'll go with, thanks guys One more question, is there any way to tell if the bolt will clear the eye piece? or is that just something I wont find out till I mount the scope?

    Rifle Scopes Is it possible to have too little clearance?

    Hey guys, I know you should always strive to have the least amount of a gap between objective bell and barrel as possible, but is there a point where that gap becomes too tight? I'm trying to figure out if I should go with Nightforce low or medium rings right now, and based on my calculations...

    Rifle Scopes Finally Got it!

    Re: Finally Got it! Very nice, I'm looking into getting one myself, just can' decide on the target model or not. Have you used the other version of this scope? Are these knobs better then the none target versions?
