    How do you like the ARC Archimedes? I bought one but I'm out of country so it's currently residing with my brother.

    Rifle Scopes What is your favorite rifle scope?

    Choose one? Never! From my stable these cover virtually every scenario: S&B PM II 6-36x56 Nightforce ATACR 4-16x42 Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24 The little NF might be my all time favourite. Unbelievably practical little optic.

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    FYI, this also resolved the friction on the 2nd rev on my scope. Thanks for the heads up.

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    One of the small plastic plugs that is meant for a set screw hole on the windage turret has popped out. I assume it's easy enough for me to set it back, but I'm not sure which location is meant to be plugged. I have attached pictures showing the set screw holes at 4R, 3L, and 6L. Can someone...

    Cracking set up. Do you know the barrel contour specs?

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I assume the resistance felt at the transition to the 2nd rev is a deliberate design feature rather than a defect. It ensures that the shooter is aware they are entering the second revolution, even in low/no-light conditions, where visual confirmation of the revolution indicator might be...

    Direct mounts for arc archimedes action?

    G'day Hiders. I have a arc archimedes short action and I'm wondering if I can use it without the picatinny rail? I'm considering mounting a Nightforce 2.5-10x24 on a .308 shorty and I'd like to get the scope lower than most rings will enable. Are there direct mounts that work with the exiting...

    Rifle Scopes New S&B TR2ID reticle

    There seem to be lots of divergent preferences when it comes to reticles. I've used simple designs, basic tree reticles, and more detailed grids. They each offer tradeoffs that suit different applications - except for Tremor reticles, which are the work of satan. If you're mostly dialling it...

    Tikka T3 / T3x in a Manners stock

    Howdy, I'm on Manners' Stock Builder site and it lists inlet options for both the T3 and T3x. I'm looking to order a MCS-PRS1 TK, but I have both a T3 and a T3x, and I need to know if the stock will work with both rifles. My understanding is that the footprint is the same, what am I missing...

    Rifle Scopes New S&B TR2ID reticle

    Something I learned from purchasing a 6-36 GR2ID, is that it’s way less intrusive or cluttered than it appears when reviewing a pdf of the reticle. I was very much on the fence about it but it’s one of the best reticles I’ve used. Options are good, and I expect the new reticle to be a big hit...

    Rifle Scopes New S&B TR2ID reticle

    I went to the British shooting show today and discussed this with the Schmidt rep. He said they’re working on it and expect to have it ready by the end of 2024.
