    Rifle Scopes Scopes don't always have to be as low as possible

    I've been wondering if this is why I've long been turned off to AIs. Several of my friend's AIs I've shot (AE, AW and an R700 in an AICS) all seemed to be very uncomfortable to get a good cheek weld because I felt like I had to lay my head sideways on the stock to get a decent sight picture. I...

    L115a3????? Vs aw

    Ah,that makes sense now. I knew it was a system price, but forgot about the night vision toys. Thx.

    L115a3????? Vs aw

    Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Presumably the L115A3 comes as a "system", with all the accessories like suppressor, bipod, scope, etc rather than just the rifle itself. So the $38K, I'm sure, is for the whole system. However, the numbers still don't completely add up. AW rifle - $7500...

    Best Place to pick up an AE MkIII?

    I'm looking to pick up an AE Mk3 in the near future. Preferably in 6.5 Creed or .260 Rem. MHS only seem to have .308 in stock and Europtic was the only other place I could find them listed. Are there other AI dealers that have good deals and are reputable? I'm not in a rush, so am happy to...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle suggestion for newb...MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA??

    Holy fuck! How many times are we going to go through this same topic????? Does no one understand how to do a search before asking a question??? I'm so sick of people saying: "I prefer a MOA reticle because I think in inches". If you use the reticle correctly for 99% of the things you'll...

    NPOA for Dummies

    Can anyone point me to a good source that describes the Natural Point of Aim process? Or if there is a thread here on SH that goes into detail on what NPOA is and how you build that position? I think I kind of already do NPOA sort of based on the brief descriptions I've read, but have never...

    Rifle Scopes mil dot reticle moa turrets

    And this is primaily what I use a mil reticle scope for - dialing corrections and find having to do the conversion is a PITA. No, its not rocket science - its just an unnecesary step that matched turrents do away with.

    Rifle Scopes mil dot reticle moa turrets

    Why the fuck do scope manufacturers STILL persist in making scopes with mismatched turrets and reticles??? That's dumber than two men fornicating. BTW - its "reticle" not "retical"

    Rifle Scopes Scope advice

    Crosshair above is spot on. However, I disagree that mil reticles are not good for hunting. In fact, I think they have more utility for hunting than the ballistic reticles. The problem with the ballistic reticles are that they are for an extremely narrow use and will only be accurate if the...

    Rifle Scopes Calculating Correct Mil Value In a Second Focal Plane Scope

    Zero stop kits would be WAY down on my list of things to buy if you're just getting into a new rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Calculating Correct Mil Value In a Second Focal Plane Scope

    To the OP, if you're still really set on an SFP scope, the Vortex manual does a nice job of explaining how the different magnifications work. Here: http://www.vortexoptics.com/uploads/web_manual_ret_viper-pst-6-24x50-sfp_r624s1-m-12a.pdf The other thing to consider that I don't think anyone...
