    Rifle Scopes Problem with my scope....what could cause this?

    After shooting at 500 and before finding it was off, did you turn the turrets at all for any reason, like turning back to 100 yard zero then readjusting before shots were fired next time out? I usually turn my scopes back to 100 yard zero before putting it away, and I found a similar problem one...

    Huge thanks to all the sponsors that helped make this match such a success. I had so much fun trying to hit those little targets I have decided to start preparing for next years match immediately. I learned a lot this year from the tough obstacles showing my weaknesses to the seasoned shooters...

    Rifle Scopes XRS help....need elevation help

    XRS has just over 30 mils of elevation from top to bottom. Either the zero stop is set incorrectly (most likely) or something malfunctioned. Someone had a good description in a similar thread here but I can't find it in searches. Go back to the manual for your XRS and perform the procedure that...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5x30 XRS and Rem 700 with 20 MOA base..

    Can you clarify what you meant by saying they are adjusted so you have max travel? The XRS is supposed to have around 35 mils of elevation travel. New out of the box it only had 18 mils of adjustment available, from bottomed out to topped out, so I could not adjust down enough for 100 yard zero...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 4.5x30 XRS and Rem 700 with 20 MOA base..

    My XRS did the same thing when new. I was able to reset the zero stop and it worked nicely, for a while. After maybe four or five outings since resetting, the elevation knob felt a little lose and it no longer turned smoothly. It turns out the zero stop set screws had slipped and I lost some...

    We did not shoot the stages last year. The stages were not even open for viewing last year on the practice day. It was a good last minute equipment check.

    SMACK the SMILEY Summer 2014 - ENTRY OPEN!

    I have tried to contact him first but as previous post stated I have not received any response. I guess he may be out of town. I only posted the question here because I have no choice. Targets are supposed to be sent back in a couple days now, and I am just going to mark them, shoot them, and...

    SMACK the SMILEY Summer 2014 - ENTRY OPEN!

    Understood, but I received 8 targets that all say centerfire in the box on the back. I was wondering if the front side is the same or are the smileys smaller on the rimfire? I don't have the rimfire targets, so I cannot compare the size and positioning of the smileys. If the front is the same, I...

    SMACK the SMILEY Summer 2014 - ENTRY OPEN!

    Can anyone tell me if the centerfire and rimfire targets are exactly the same or not? I received two sets (8 targets) all marked centerfire this go around, and I have sent two PMs to JB with no response in a little over two weeks. He may be out of town or something, so if the targets are the...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie with scope questions Savage .338 Night Force, Burris, Reloading Hornady

    Start out reading the sticky at the top of this forum. Good info there. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/30721-ring-height-info-how-measure-correctly.html MOAR-T is a nice reticle and Nightforce is popular for a reason. Sounds pretty cool.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    What ammo are you running, or if reloads what are your recipes? Group sizes?

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Had another range day with the LR GII. This time I had swapped in the Timney trigger from my Bushmaster AR15. It should be noted that the Geiselle trigger that was previously malfunctioning in the DMPS worked perfectly in the Bushmaster AR15 for 100 rounds, and the Timney worked perfectly in the...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Ammo could definitely have been an issue, that's always possible. The factory DPMS mag was in my rifle first during break in, and was in when I started noticing the ejection concerns. I switched to a P-Mag as test, but it made no difference. I was also single loading after it starting shooting...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    They probably do not all work exactly the same, but whether this is by design or coincidence I have no idea. There are two "indentations" machined into the upper where the ejection port cover locks closed. My LR G2 Bull, right now in front of me, will often crack open only to the second...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I could not resist any longer, so here is my new LR G2, with 24" Bull barrel, and 1:10 twist. This averaged 2675 fps with 175 SMK, federal 210 primer, and 43.5 gr IMR 4064. For comparison, the same rounds on the same day measured with same Magnetto Speed chrono within half an hour of each other...
