    Rifle Scopes dove tail scope mounts are bad?

    Re: dove tail scope mounts are bad? If you go with rings: I just installed a new set of Leu dovetails & bases on a mark V. The new bases didn't have windage screws, Leu told me they do this with larger calibers nowadays. I used a 30 mm lap tool (it's a little longer than the scope but sure...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon my best option?

    Re: Trijicon my best option? I like the red acog horseshoes too, usually only hunt during te early mornings and late right before dark. Here's some picts of bear from our stand, daughter shot one with 6.8 stag & acog; course I didn't focus pict good enough. Also game cams.

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon my best option?

    Re: Trijicon my best option? Call them up, they'll send you a nice catalog with all the reticles. I like the Illum horseshoes for caribou sized targets. I've gotten use to acogs and they're fine by me out to 500 yards; kinda about practice with the long shots. They are super great for quick...

    Rifle Scopes Help choosing a Trijicon

    Re: Help choosing a Trijicon I like the horse shoe reticles with red dot in center. They make several different size ghost rings too. I have the TA-31H-6.8 and the ghost ring is around 8 inches at 100 yards. I use it for caribou and bear out of the stand; great with low light. The larger...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG TA31RCO-A4 Calibration question

    Re: ACOG TA31RCO-A4 Calibration question I can consistently now hit caribou at 500 yards with my 6.8 stag with acog TA31H (red dot/ghost ring). You won't find a faster shooting scope than the acog, pull up bang kinda thing. Acog basically is a 100-200 yard scope that is always on and sure is...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG

    Re: ACOG We killed 3 bear out of our stand last week with the 6.8 spc. they were only 300 lbers, but White people, not Indians around here eat the heck out of bear meat. Every one of them went 20-30 yards and collapsed, 110 Vmax hornadys. Killed some caribou last fall too with same gun...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG

    Re: ACOG I have a TA31 and luv it; but never use the lines; the horseshoe & red dot is super quick. The list around $1400, but can be bought right over a gran. I'm going to buy another for an AR-10 I just got. Few years back, we had a chinese guy get weathered in for 5 days in our rural...

    Rifle Scopes which acog/scope?

    Re: which acog/scope? Ya the BAC doesn't do much for me either, but I'd rather use an acog than accupoint any day for hunting. I just feel good about those acogs and how quick they are for me.

    Rifle Scopes which acog/scope?

    Re: which acog/scope? I also have a TA31 for my 6.8, horseshoe/red dot and really like it. I'm going to put a TA11H 308 on a new 338 fed AR-10 and will be horseshoe. I killed a few caribou last fall with that acog and within 250 yards pretty right on. I did kill one at 550 yards with same...

    Rifle Scopes Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help

    Re: Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help I'm 500 miles from nearest gun shop that has any tactical scopes; sure can appreciate how it feels spending 1000 bucks sight unseen on a scope you might just luv or might just regret.

    Rifle Scopes Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help

    Re: Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help Something I like about the acog horse shoe is that it is small; otherwise it would be unbelievably huge at 100-200 yards. At 100 yards the horse shoe covers 8-10 inch circle on target. The dot is an inch or two at 100 yards. If I had the...

    Rifle Scopes Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help

    Re: Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide- Ya, you're right in what you say, I don't notice eye relief problems with my 4X32 for 6.8 spc. Of course, I have collapsible butt stock and the since I keep it all the way in (for riding on snowmachine and not hitting trees on trails)I...

    Rifle Scopes Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help

    Re: Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help I like the Acog, but one thing for sure; all the discussion/comparison here about the 1-4 SWFA and ACOG really got me hot to look through one of those 1-4's. How's the warranty on the SWFA's? Is their warranty similar to the Leupold...

    Rifle Scopes Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help

    Re: Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help Only draw back I see from acog is that I hear the intensity of illumination degrades with time, and it costs 400 bucks to have it recharged;;; and more importantly the govt might (someday) restrict sale of acogs to the average everyday...

    Rifle Scopes Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help

    Re: Ready to purchase first ACOG-but can't decide-help Bought a 4X32 acog for 6.8 spc last year. It was the one set up with BDC lines for 6.8 and they make the same scope for 556 & 308. Big thing is it has red horse shoe ghost ring which at 100 yards makes a 8 inch circle. It also has red dot...

    Rifle Scopes Got my new Leupold Mark 4! Check it out! (PICS)

    Re: Got my new Leupold Mark 4! Check it out! (PICS) I just got off the phone to Leupold and the serial number that was on that Mark 4 was a good number. Drug usage as a kid in late 60's has left my mind distrustful of what don't look right, ha. I'm still glad it wasn't an illum scope. (what...

    Rifle Scopes Scope thoughts for an AR10

    Re: Scope thoughts for an AR10 Fake Acogs, what next? I have dealer buddy back east, tells me the Chinese will have gold "L" medalion on leupolds soon enough. That mark 4 1.5X5 X20 CMR2 illum leupold (ghost ring like acogs); dealer cost is $868, sells in midway for $1029; might order. I'm...

    Rifle Scopes Scope thoughts for an AR10

    Re: Scope thoughts for an AR10 Ran down our winter closed road yesterday and picked up that Armalite AR-10 338 fed from nearest gun shop which is 200 miles away. She's heavy as shit, (like an M-14) but I'm happy with the armalite. I had order 2 Leu's and they were there too. VX-3l sealed in...

    Rifle Scopes Got my new Leupold Mark 4! Check it out! (PICS)

    Re: Got my new Leupold Mark 4! Check it out! (PICS) Here's one that just almost happened to me today. I ran down our just opened road (closed from Oct till April for winter) to closest gun shop which is 200 miles away to pick up an AR-10 338 fed and 2 new Leupold scopes. Armalite was heavy...
