    Rifle Scopes I custom mounted my ACI on my 20th Anniversary USO

    Anyone who has used or is using a USO T-Pal knows they don't leave much room for other things on the base or scope tube if you're using low/6-screw rings. What have you guys done to get around this? My scope has an internal level so I'm good there. But say for a base mounted ACI? Bummer...

    Rifle Scopes NightForce Customer Service

    Just wanted to put up my experience with NightForce customer service for those that may be considering a scope and where customer service may be a deciding factor. I recently sent in my scope (an NSX 5.5-22x50 w/ ZS & NPR1) for a cross-threaded sunshade. To my pleasant surprise, when speaking...

    Rifle Scopes Need some optics advise PLEASE

    Ok. I've owned an eotech 553 with a FTS magnifier wich worked perfectly. I then sold that for an acog TA31F after reading a bunch of bad hype on other forums about the eotechs. After using both I feel under armed in a CQB with the acog due to fixed magnification and limited FOV. On a plus note...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Binding --> Lapping Rings

    Gents, I've got a scope in a set of good quality scope rings, on a good mount. Had some issues at the range today that would suggest that the scope was bound and/or that the mount was in a tweak. Basically the rifle patterned like a shotgun (this rifle doesn't even do that with irons), and...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics & JWB III are second to NONE!!!

    First off, John III, I hope you don't mind me sharing this with the hide members. Its CS like this that makes me wish I was rich enough to put a USO on every rifle I own. I just had to share. So I was lucky enough to acquire a brand new SN-3 from a hide member a couple of days ago, and the...
