    Gunsmithing Proof Research Barrel, MY AX 308 has a new Tube.

    Very curious to see what comes of this.

    Rifle Scopes New Trijicon VCOG

    For what this was developed for (the Squad Common Optic) I'd say this is a pretty good effort to make something tough, fairly idiot proof, with a common battery type found in every locale of the world for the average Soldier vs the watch battery of the Leupold. For those that have messed with...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Needs 34mm Rings & Base for Rem 700 SPS Tactical .308 & Leupold Mk 6 3-18x40

    Id give American Rifle Company rings a look see. On the expensive side, but bomb proof design.

    Army tattoo policy

    GunKnowledge- Bias? I'd say that's the pot calling the kettle black. No matter how you slice it, it is the scruffy, tattoo'ed man who fights the battles regardless of the technology at play. All that tech helped the offensive, but frankly didn't help us take, then re-take Fallujah or hold on...

    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    BadShot- I realize this, however I was speaking more about the particular firearm he has (BCM Recce, USGI Profile, CHF, Chromed Lined), not a PredatOBR with a heavy profile, match grade barrel. While the BCM stuff is exceedingly good, and 800m is indeed doable for a 16 inch AR. A SPR is again, a...

    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    Really depends on what your doing, how capable your system is at that distance, and what ammunition you have access to. If its strictly duty ammo and not heavier match grade ammunition, 800m is going to be difficult to attain consistently no matter how large your scope is. What is your AO like...

    Rifle Scopes Sniper's Hide Exclusive First Look, Leupold DAGR

    Re: Sniper's Hide Exclusive First Look, Leupold DAGR I'm not a huge fan of the Tremor. H58 is a mil reticle so memorization is no different then anything else. Not terribly complicated. Busy for some, and busy in some environments as Lowlight pointed out in previous conversation. I like it...

    Rifle Scopes TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation

    Re: TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation Lowlight, got it. Id be interested to hear what issues people have with the h58 and Horus offline. I don't dig the Tremor2 personally and Im not calling someone ill-informed or a poser if thats how I came across. I would be curious as to how much the...

    Rifle Scopes TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation

    Re: TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation Lowlight, we come from similar backgrounds then, at least on the military side of the house. I however, was never lucky enough to instruct beyond the men I worked with. I never said there wasn't effective sniper before Horus, and there wouldn't be...

    Rifle Scopes TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation

    Re: TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation Lowlight, we were shown and instructed over several days in USASS on the mildot and TMR, so I'm not really seeing the point of your argument. You can also loose a shot just as easily in the desert or in an urban environment as you can in a wooded area...

    Rifle Scopes TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation

    Re: TReMoR 2 Reticle Manual/ Explanation I would go out on a limb and say the right people are getting the right training for it's use. I don't believe for a second it was developed with the normal shooter, or F Class shooter (unless F stands for Face Shooting) in mind.

    Rifle Scopes Sniper's Hide Exclusive First Look, Leupold DAGR

    Re: Sniper's Hide Exclusive First Look, Leupold DAGR The less weight at the expense of durability/longevity? I've done HORRENDOUS things to my T1/Larue mounted optic. Training, deployments, more training, carbine class's, etc... and its still going strong. I was not kind to this thing. In...

    Rifle Scopes Sniper's Hide Exclusive First Look, Leupold DAGR

    Re: Sniper's Hide Exclusive First Look, Leupold DAGR Not all dudes running this system may want the T1 directly to the 12. Me personally I would rather see the little bugger off to the side or in an offset "oh shit" mount. Not only that but I would like to be able to glance up and see what...

    Rifle Scopes HDMR Quality Control - UPDATE

    Re: HDMR Quality Control - UPDATE Only complaint I have with mine is a slight amount of purplish outline on clear clear days. Haven't had it out much so I'm still feeling it out/fiddling with it. As far as I can tell tracking is spot on for me. I bought mine for 850, so for the money its not...
