    Any scope recommendations for a IPSC Mini-rifle ?

    Shooting distances are 5-120 meters (max distance is set in the rules). Targets are typically IPSC Mini-targets which are 12" X 17" (WxH) with the best scoring A area measuring only aprx. 4"X 8" (WxH). Also regular IPSC-targets can be used if the Range Master chooses to use them. Lead bulleted...

    Any scope recommendations for a IPSC Mini-rifle ?

    What scope would you recommend for an open class IPSC Mini-rifle ? The rifle is a 10/22T dressed up in a Archangel Nomad stock wit Power Custom trigger parts. Pricewise I would like to stay below 300 USD. Would a Primary Arms 1-6X24 scope work ?

    Zeiss Comparison

    All they have in common is the factory name and general quality. If I remember correctly the Zeiss 60mm has laser filters built in which typically degrade the picture quality to some extent giving it a yellowish or bluish tint but saves your eyes from military laser emitters. The 85 has better...

    Re: Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly For AR-15/M-16 users: Sako TRG Tactical picatinny mount with 34mm low rings can be used with S&B PMII 5-25X56 on a A3 flat top IF the forestock is smooth free float tube. You can even use Butler Creeks and it still fits. And the cheek weld is...

    Re: Eagle out of business? My U.S. made Eagle O.D. III-day pack and camo drag bag just became collector items. Sad to see Eagle disappear and Blackhawk taking over.

    Lightweight tripod for Zeiss 20-60x85mm spotter

    Re: Lightweight tripod for Zeiss 20-60x85mm spotter I have a Slik DX700 + Manfrotto 128RC fluid video head for my spotters. A little heavy but you will not want to have your +3000 USD spotter be blown to the ground the second you leave the spotter alone on the tripod :-) BTW you can use the...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25x56 vs Hensoldt 4-16x56ff

    Re: S&B 5-25x56 vs Hensoldt 4-16x56ff Hensoldt is shorter and lighter but has less elevation and magnification. Also the elevation turret has four rotations. So you can be off quite a bit on longer ranges. DT on S&B PMII is much easier to use. Idiotproof is a good word for it. With MSR...

    15" free float tubes, any experiences on those ?

    Re: 15" free float tubes, any experiences on those ? I can get JP handguards but they are somewhat expensive here when you calculate the add-on rails etc. With Troy one gets even the barrel wrench in the package. If I purchase it separately here it would be like 40 USD for the barrel wrench...

    15" free float tubes, any experiences on those ?

    I am building a 20" barrelled 5.56 chambered AR-15. I am planning to buy a 15" long free float tube and to put a flip-up sight at the end of it for iron-sight use and will probably use a red dot too a little later on. The options on 15" ff-tubes seem to be Midwest 15" SS-tube and Troy Extreme...

    Idea for a new cartridge: 7mm Practical; 180 VLD

    Re: Idea for a new cartridge: 7mm Practical; 180 VLD Load .284 Win long i.e. around 3.15-3.25" and you are all set. The "I need/want to use short action" is a solution to a nonexistent problem. The longer action does not weaken the rifle or decrease to any relevant measure the accuracy oof...

    Re: Leupold 1.1-8x24 Mark 8 CQBSS So what if S&B comes out in May (which year ? :-)? I can wait 12 months to let every manufacturer get their bugs worked out and price levels to stabilize and only THEN choose what to buy. Because I live in Europe I will probably get the S&B 1-8X24 for 50%...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII 3-12x50

    Re: S&B PMII 3-12x50 Both models have about the same amount of cliks available. 56 MOA * 1/4 MOA klicks = 224 klicks. Mrad version has 220 klicks give or take a few. In theory 1/8 klicks would yield only 224* 1/8MOA=28 MOA and 1/2 MOA klicks would give 224* 1/2 MOA=112 MOA. I am not sure...

    Competition pistol opinions

    Re: Competition pistol opinions For sport shooting and competition I bought a CZ Tactical Sports in 9mm. Why 9mm ? Because I do not want to reload pistol ammo and .40 S&W is expensive here. In military competitions 9mm is all I need. For IPSC I give up Major -caliber status but gain 4 rounds...

    Range Report Figuring FPS change as a function of temp

    Re: Figuring FPS change as a function of temp I would guess the temp changes above the freezing point will be pretty linear. Below freezing point various powders behave very differently. Military powders typically tolerate cold pretty well because they have been specified to be tolerant...
