Just picked up a Tikka Super Varmint (great gun!) in.223, and I see that it's threaded for 5/8x24 muzzle devices. That's great in theory, but the practical reality is that I'd prefer a muzzle brake with a 22 cal bore. The kicker is that I also want it to be a KeyMo brake for my suppressor...

Can anyone explain the psychology behind how people perceive reticle thickness? I can understand that some people have a hard time seeing a fine FFP reticle at low magnification, but I frequently see complaints that the crosshairs or center dot are too thick, and I just don't get it. Whenever I...

Anybody have any experience with PA warranty returns? I've heard they have good CS, but I sent in a scope that wouldn't focus (one of their Japanese glass scopes), and I'm not thrilled with their communication. Are they just swamped right now? I never got a confirmation notice after they...

Having a hard time finding what I need. Just bought an LPVO with a 34mm tube for an AR and can't seem to find a one piece mount with the specs I'm looking for: 34mm 0 moa Cantilever (moderate, not huge offset) And here's the kicker - no higher than 1.25" center height. I have 2 other ARs with...

Looking for an LPVO and trying to make some decisions. Went to the local shop today and tried out a limited sample and was pretty blown away by the old "you get what you pay for" concept. Tried a couple $400 Riton scopes - could barely see across the store no matter how I adjusted them. Switched...

Looking for a mil/mil with floating dot reticle. Black or FDE considered. Prefer used (for budgetary reasons, but will consider new if the price is right).

Weird problem. I have a Savage Model 10 Predator that I just installed a Lambeth bolt lift kit in. As part of the install, I had to replace the firing pin with an older one (without the cocking indicator). I polished a few of the "usual" surfaces in the back of the bolt, including the cocking...

Anybody know of an aftermarket compensator that similar to the one Les machines into his .308 barrels? My dad has one that works like a charm and seems to have a lot less blast to the side and rear than others I've shot. I want to add something similar to my Armalite.

Stumbled across this new beauty online. Seems they're making a limited run now (10-20) and will make a couple hundred next year. My brother ordered one in burnt bronze cerakote (no extra charge). With an ultra-match barrel, I imagine it should do quite nicely. Can't wait to try it out (and...

They're close to home, have reasonable rates, and answered my email questions well, but I'd like an outside opinion before committing to having work done by anyone. I was a little turned off when they posted a "testimonial" that says he gets 'consistent 1/4" groups at 300 yards.' And their...

Looking at the vortex viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP and noticed that the reticle subtension is substantially different between the MOA and MRAD versions. I like the thicker posts and wider hash marks on the MOA version, but I like the more detailed center reticle of the MRAD version. I'm switching to...

I'm looking for a scope mount for my AR-15 with ACS stock that is lower than the typical 1.4" or 1.5" height. It needs to be a forward offset mount for eye relief. I'll be using it with a Vortex PST 2.5-10x32mm (30mm tube). I don't know if my face is just freakishly skinny or if my eyes are just...

Okay, silly rookie question. I've loaded "simple" stuff before (i.e. pistol rounds), but I'm new to reloading rifle cartridges for max accuracy. I finally got around to trying a Hornady OAL gauge today, and I'm a little confused by the numbers. I have a .223 Wylde chambered AR-15, which I know...

Choosing a scope for one purpose is somewhat easier, but trying to combine multiple purposes gets a little tricky. Here's what I'm looking for: I've got a lightweight AR in .223 Wylde that is surprisingly accurate that I'd like to use for coyotes up to about 400 yards and steel out to 600. It's...

They've been requested for years, but now Vortex actually has them listed on their site as "coming soon." Anybody have any idea how soon that is supposed to be? I was all set to get an EBR-1 until I saw that. Now I may have to wait a while!

I realize that much of the discussion on this forum focuses on high-end scopes, but for now, my budget is limited by..., well, let's just say I actually do love my wife... Looking at the Viper PST FFP scopes for a long range rig (AR-10) and a couple of people have told me that the 4-16x seems...

What reticles do you LIKE for FFP scopes? I'm in love with the March FMA reticle (similar to the FML, but I'm not interested in a mil system, only MOA). The tapered reticle seems perfect for use at both high and low power. Anybody know of a similar reticle in a less cost prohibitive scope...

Got an Armalite AR-10 as a gift. Great gun but could be a little more accurate. Without question, it's gonna get a Geissele trigger (probably SSA-E like on my AR-15). The stock "4-stage" trigger has gotta go. So far seems to shoot slightly better than the 1.5-2 MOA that Armalite says it should...
