    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt, ARD or Sunshade

    Re: Hensoldt, ARD or Sunshade Hi, you can screw the ARD in front of the sunshade, but not vice versa. Or you can screw multible sunshades in fron of each oder. A sunshade has a male and a female thread. The ARD has a male thread and the scope has a female thread. All threads are the same...

    Gunsmithing Any air compressor experts around?

    Re: Any air compressor experts around? If you still need some assitence you should take a picture of the cylinder head. My guess is that it has a single cylinder head and at least two cylinders. So my guess would be a defective cylinder head sealing.

    TRG threads

    If I want to mount a Near picatinny rail on top of a Sako TRG action what kind of screws do I have to use? Especially I would like to know the thread sizes, for example M 3 or M 3.5 or something. Then, what type of screw head is needed? Thanks

    Propper @ SHOT

    Re: Propper @ SHOT Have you ever been to IWA in Nuremberg? Obviously not. I have been there twice. And just because of this exact reason I won´t go there any more. But normally the American based companies like Hornady, Federal, Remington, Kestrel, RCBS and so on are more than willing to...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope

    Re: Hunting scope Another great scope would be the Schmidt&Bender 1-8x24. But have you considered to buy let´s say a Spuhr mount and mount a Eotech or something similar to the mount for close range and a scope of whatever type for longer ranges? Larue has a similar mount where you can mount...

    Rifle Scopes I want to scope my TRG .300 mag. Advice appreciate

    Re: I want to scope my TRG .300 mag. Advice apprec For a scope I would get the Schmidt&Bender PM II 5-25x56 with the Klein reticle. For a mount I would decide between Spuhr and and Spuhr. A direct Spuhr mount if you don´t use any picatinny rails on any other guns. Then direct mountig is...

    Rifle Scopes Gen 2 XR or P4F Reticle

    Re: Gen 2 XR or P4F Reticle I vote for GEN 2 XR because you have a litable reticle that could be used for ranging whne the reticle is lit. What I mean is: the litable part of the reticle is bigger.

    Re: what causes this? I would not be scared, because there a primer cups of different hardness/different material properties of the sheet metal the primer cups were made of. Some time ago there was an article on 6mmBr.com about this.

    Range Report Kestrel with Horus Atrag

    Re: Kestrel with Horus Atrag I´m sorry for not making a clearly understandable post. I meant that if I carry a ballistic computer it needs not to calculate all the values for the condition just the values for the distance for example the drop and drift for 300m. Not all vales form 0m to 1000m...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Reticle

    Re: Schmidt and Bender Reticle For Hunting at night, I would choose No.4. You see the thick lines best. The circle on No. 9 will confuse you at night.

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS In Germany the DRS No1 is more around 7500 Euro without any additional features, of course. So import taxes and the profit margin of the importer could be an explanation. But it is still twice the price of a TRG which will also shoot 338 Lapua.

    Re: AIAW308: S&B 3-12X50 or 5-25x56? Today I surfed to the Schmidt&Bender Homepage and saw a 3-20x50. Have you ever considererd this. Good field of view, like the 3-12x50 and a good part of magnification.

    Choosing a barrel

    Re: Choosing a barrel If I wanted a true longe range tool I would strongly look into the 300 Lapua Mag aka 30-338 Lapua. Therefor I would want a Barrel with al twist of 1:9 for the 240 gr SMK. I would have it 30" long and a rather large contour with an agressive straight fluting (about six...

    Re: Hensoldt FFP Somebody asked if the reticle of the Hensoldt scope in SFP is the same as in SFP. I have one in SFP an no it is not the same. Differences are: The dots in SPF have a 0.15 mrad hole in them and the "thick" line one the outer edges are not thick but hollow.

    Rifle Scopes More ideas for an Ideal sniper/markmans scopemount

    Re: More ideas for an Ideal sniper/markmans scopem What I forgot to say: I would consider to to turn in the inner diameter of the ring tow to three grooves , so if someone wants to glue his scope into the rings he had that ability. If you already had that idea I could not see it on the 3D...
