    Rifle Scopes What is going on with the Bushnell DMR II/i and the LRTS scopes?

    No Mine is the DMRII i. So far it's just about perfect. The scope is heavy and the reticle is a little thick at 21x. My .308 is averaging .72" 5 shot groups with my current load though. The illumination is very good also in my opinion, going from just enough to see in darkness to bright enough...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 20x

    I just got the 12x and so far I like it even though I haven't shot with it yet. Get the 10x or 12x. 10x should be a bit brighter with more forgiving eye box. Whatever you do don't listen to russ10x as everything he said is completely wrong.

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    I want to do the exact same thing but with MPH and I think both of these would be awesome. I would also REALLY like if the ranging practice tool had a reticle that was actually calibrated correctly. The current one seems to use dots of a .6ish mil diameter when I think they should be .2...

    Rifle Scopes Scope question- hunting related

    Re: Scope question- hunting related I REALLY don't think you should worry about 5x being too much magnification, especially at 50 yards. Practice finding random things in your scope. The important thing is really to look at the target first, then bring the scope to your eye. With very...

    Rifle Scopes High end hunting - Swarovski vs Leica?

    Re: High end hunting - Swarovski vs Leica? I know a lot of people that swear by the Z6's. I don't know anyone with a Leica. I'm sure either of them are way more than enough for any hunt though!

    Rifle Scopes Does this look like a scope issue?

    Re: Does this look like a scope issue? Yeah that's good advice, I know not to change multiple variables at the same time. Unfortunately I'm going to have to change the hand loads because I had some over pressure symptoms. I'm using 2.905" OAL with 42gr of IMR 4064, which I thought would be...

    Rifle Scopes Does this look like a scope issue?

    Re: Does this look like a scope issue? Corey, It's when You put a dot on a target, shoot directly at it, move your windage say 10" right, shoot again. Move elevation 10" down, shoot again, move windage 10" left, shoot again. Finally move elevation 10" back up and shoot again. This last shot...

    Rifle Scopes Does this look like a scope issue?

    Re: Does this look like a scope issue? I was thinking of box-testing the scope with the .22 as the first test I do. I'm really just wondering if anyone has ever had an experience like this, and what the culprit was, or if anyone has heard of a scope doing this. Thanks guys.

    Rifle Scopes Through the Scope Pictures of Mirage

    There is a lot of talk about the measuring of wind with mirage, but if a discussion is accompanied by a visual, it is usually a rather poor representation of what mirage really looks like IMO. Does anyone hear have some pictures of mirage as seen through a scope, at different wind speeds? If...

    Rifle Scopes Painting SS 10X

    Re: Painting SS 10X Cronos I say leave it like that but add some darker paint to everything to break up the outline. It looks a little off right now but only because everything else is a light pastel color. You need some other darks in there to break it up and make it flow more. Then it...

    Prone position question

    Re: Prone position question Yeah, awesome you guys. This is going to revolutionize airport security. No more scanners, no more metal detectors even. Just "Are you a terrorist?" 'No.' "Well can you tell me a hobby or two and the name of a town in the US?" 'I like romantic walks on the beach...

    Rifle Scopes reticle choice for hunting

    Re: reticle choice for hunting I respect coyotes for their ability to adapt and to survive. I don't hunt them if that is what you're asking (but I don't look down on those who do).
