    Rifle Scopes Primal Rights excellent experience

    Left everyone hanging there. I went with a custom US. Optics 5-17x39 with gen 2 XR illuminated reticle and covered turrets. Everything I needed and nothing I didn't.

    Rifle Scopes Primal Rights excellent experience

    I had the chance last week to get up to see Orkan at his store front in South Dakota. I went there with the idea of looking at some high end scopes and possibly buying one. I discussed what I would like to do with the scope and got to get some hands on experience with a lot of the high end...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 6 Scope Cover Options

    check out AADmount. I believe I have seen others who have these for their mark 6. Expensive but so is the scope. might as well get the best.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a new scope

    there are a lot of scopes out there that would suit your needs. It all depends what features you want. zero stop, locking turrets, parallax adjustment, SFP vs FFP. figure out a few of these things and that will narrow your choices significantly in the lightweight category.

    Spotting Scope Tripod for Prone

    i have the SLIK sprint mini II. it will not do standing so could look at the slik pro II as well. Just a cheaper option than a lot of stuff I have seen. it will depend how heavy the scope is as well.

    Vertical Stringing off Bench

    Are you reloading? vertical stringing can sometimes mean your velocity isn't just right for the rifle. Run the ladder test?

    Custom Cleaning Rods?

    neil jones bore guides are another option. i have an ivy rod and bought one for my dad too. They are not a bad deal with the option to specify what you need.

    Front rest advice

    This rest mainly will be used for load development of hunting/tactical rifles. Thus no desire to spend a ton of money. Just want to save time at the range while developing loads.

    Front rest advice

    I have been looking around a lot lately and figured I would just poll the audience to get some thoughts on front rests. I am not looking to spend the money to get a Farley. That said, I dont want to spend money and be sorry later. Was contemplating the shadetree top with a separate base (bald...

    Rifle Scopes First real optic question

    Just an aside. The 2-10 weaver has red and green illumination. It is FFP and the turrets lock. I had a Vortex in the 1-4x with exposed turrets. They turn easy while slinging on and off. Just a thought

    Lecia Geovid HD-B Teaser!

    This will be interesting. I am in the boat of saving for these or vectronix. I need them to range soft targets and the vectronix will definitely do this. I am curious how the Leica will perform in comparison. Look forward to the feedback from the trip.

    Rifle Scopes What scope for a Precision rifle?

    It is going to be hard to stay under a $1000 when looking to upgrade glass. the Mark 4 from leupold is a step up as well but you have to pay for it. I agree with above that you should be looking into a mil/mil or moa/moa system for "holdovers." Do some research on the SFP vs FFP reticles and...
