    Rifle Scopes 2014 Vortex New Products Announced

    Nice to see new Razor II 1-6 reticle choices, although I doubt I will upgrade my JM reticle model, which works surprisingly well for a SFP 1-6.

    Lwrc Spr 50gr load

    I have had terrible luck with 55gr and lighter bullets in my LWRC barrels. So bad that there were laughs on the firing line one time I was trying to zero at 100yds with 55gr Lake City ammo. These same uppers are my best shooting AR-15s once I switch to 77gr SMKs (and 69gr although I rarely...

    Troy Industries Fixed Sights Question

    I use Troy rears with a variety of front sights (Troy HK, LWRC M6A3, traditional gas block sights). I had all folding ones, but I got a fixed di-optic version (I think what Troy calls the diamond rear sight) recently to save a bit of money and it is great. I do not think you can go wrong with...

    LWRC rifles in 5.56

    Re: LWRC rifles in 5.56 I have an A2 and A3. When I originally got the A2, I thought my scope was broken because I was shooting about 6MOA at 100 yards sighting in with surplus ammo. While we were spotting shots from a rest, saying things like "three left, one up" then "two right, one down"...

    Lone Wolf 9mm AR - The one that takes Glock mags

    Re: Lone Wolf 9mm AR - The one that takes Glock mags I have one of their lowers that I use with a RMW Xtreme .40 DI upper. I had to file the magwell a bit to fit full .40 mags, but I love the combination. I have it set up as a pistol and the recoil is unbelievably soft (due to the DI upper).

    LWRC R.E.P.R, what should I put on it?

    Re: LWRC R.E.P.R, what should I put on it? That seems to me like a ton of scope on a 16" .308. Even if you decide that is the one you want, the 34mm tube (and maybe the EREK) seems unnecessary with the Horus, and you will likely find the extended eye relief unnecessary too. Almost $400 off...

    Best table top tripod: Manfrotto 055XPROB ?

    Re: Best table top tripod: Manfrotto 055XPROB ? I have both the tabletop tripod (usually use for Kestrel) and an X055ProB. I use a straight spotter, and the tabletop tripod even with a ball head is too low for prone shooting or sitting on a table (unless it is at the edge and you can get...

    Accuracy Problems with LWRCI M6A3 DMR

    Re: Accuracy Problems with LWRCI M6A3 DMR My M6A3 DMR upper shoots amazingly well and consistently with 77smk handloads. I bought it for a very inexpensive price off of gunbroker from a seller claiming it could not group at all. I took a gamble on it because I have an M6A2 that shoots 4-6"...

    Bushnell 1600 monocular vs. bino

    Re: Bushnell 1600 monocular vs. bino I went from the 1500 to 1600 monocular and the difference was like night and day to me. The 1600 not only ranges more reliably, it ranges faster. At my range I am able to track flying birds in real time with the 1600 monocular, I was shocked at first...

    USO Vs. Leupold spotting scope

    Re: USO Vs. Leupold spotting scope I bought a USO Mil GAP spotter used off of the hide about a year ago, and already had a Leupold spotter (no reticle). I am mostly shooting USO Mil GAP scopes now so it is great to have a matching reticle. I like the eye relief, but I wish the scope had a...

    Rifle Scopes Homemade ballistic drop turrets! Save yourself $$

    Re: Homemade ballistic drop turrets! Save yourself $$ I cut the sticky parts of Post-Its off and wrap them around my ERGO knobs on USO scopes. I then spend some time in a known-range area and write in my ranges. Works like a charm, no permanent mods, and easy to change if I ever need to.

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-20 HD question...

    Re: SS 5-20 HD question... I finally put mine on a rifle today and while I experienced the issue with getting the knobs centered after zeroing (can live it), I had no issues with any of the knobs. For me a cat tail is going completely unnecessary, and I really side the side adjustment, and...

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy With the scope in hand I feel like my money was very well spent! The 10 mil turret is great, the reticle is quite nice (although the diamonds are a little visually complicated), and everything looks solid. Thanks again SH and SWFA!

    Rifle Scopes Thank You LL for the GB thread - Positive Only

    Re: Thank You LL for the GB thread - Positive Only I hope this is the thread that ends up being 30+ pages long. I ordered one, was thrilled for the privilege, and am waiting patiently. I would think that most people that shoot know that getting a good product at all is hard enough, and...
