I've got a scope that, with caps, comfortably clears the barrel - about 0.1" gap. The bolt handle barely clears the ocular bell - about 0.01 - 0.02". Are there any downsides to running it that close? I suppose this will limit how fast I can work the bolt given the reduced space for my hand.

I'm interested in getting into prone shooting, and have done some reading on NPA, and have been doing a little dry fire practice at home with my scoped AR-15 with a bipod (waiting on new scope for my bolt gun). I've got a few questions if y'all could help me out: 1. I set my scope based on a...

On a rimfire trainer being used mostly at 50-200yds, with occasional 200-300yds use, would you prefer a fixed 6x or 10x? At what distance could you get small groups with a 6x?

I'm buying the BSA 4-14x44 mil-mil ffp scope and need to figure out what scope rings and which size Butler Creek covers to get. I'm a newb to buying these parts as all the scopes I've purchased in the past came with rings and covers (and often came with the gun itself). For the Butler Creek...

Saw this on another forum: To sight in the scope, you want as stable a firing position as possible and, generally, fairly accurate (consistent) ammo. You want at least some kind of front rest. Set up a target about 25 yards out to get started. Ideally your target should have some vertical and...

I'm trying to optimally position a scope. My understanding is that you should set the scope at max magnification, then slide the scope back and forth until you eliminate any shadow around the edges. But is there an optimal spot where my cheek weld should be? Because if there isn't, I can mount...
