    Rifle Scopes ACOG advice...

    I have the TA11J-G which is the 3.5x version with longer eye relief and the same crosshair reticle as the TA01NSN except it has daytime illumination at its center from the fiber optic. I too prefer the crosshair reticle for more precise target shooting. It has woked out well. i can reach out...

    Rifle Scopes What's the hide's opinion of the Bushnell Elite 4200 scopes for a 100 yard paper puncher?

    I am of a different opinion on the Elite Tactical 4200 line. I bought one of them new from SWFA for my .22WMR a couple of years back after being very satisfied with their 3-9x32 rimfire scope for my .22lr plinker. The Elite 4200 was a 3-9x40 with the same duplex reticle. When I compared the...

    Rifle Scopes Glass clarity

    I've seen 3 different Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 scopes and owned one myself for almost two years. Two were older standard speed turrets, one was newer with the high speed turrets. All had fairly good clarity until you got into the higher magnification ranges (18x+) where it drops off and gets...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x40mm, 34mm Tube, w/ TMR Pics and Review..

    I agree with almost everything said in this review. I have one in TMR as well. It does start to get slightly darker when you approach max magnification. The glass quality and especially eyepiece is signifncantly better than my MK4s however it still is half a step away from my Premier 5-25x56...

    Rifle Scopes Older eyes

    I'm 28, have good eyes, and value good glass as one of my top priorities when selecting a scope. My best scope is a Premier Heritage 5-25x56...cost an arm and a leg though. Sold 2 Leupolds and a NF scope which barely covered the price. There's just something about looking at a crisp and...

    Rifle Scopes Acog yes or no?

    I have an ACOG TA11J-G it is the 3.5x model with longer eye relief bought new about a year ago. I got the green illuminated crosshair model as the reticle is fairly thin and allows for decent target shooting from the bench. Paid just over $1k from an online vendor. A few years back I had one...

    Any of you have a Sig 522

    Re: Any of you have a Sig 522 I love mine as well, its basically the only .22lr I shoot these days. Personally, I have more fun with it than my Volquartsen barreled Remington that I may end up selling down the road. One thing to note is the stock is a little low and cheaply made so with...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle

    Re: Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle Here are two pictures, one at 3x and one at 18x. These aren't great quality as I took them on my compact quickly and didn't have time to properly setup. The 3x is definitely more visible than the picture shows it to be. I took it outside today for a...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle

    Re: Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle Oh I see what you mean, that circle would make the reticle much easier to see at lower magnification but may obscure parts of the target at high mag. The 3-18 does not have that circle pattern.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle

    Re: Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle Nope no circle anywhere just the tiny gap in the center like all MK4 TMRs.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle

    Re: Leupold mk6 3-18 w/ tmr reticle I can provide a review on this scope as I just got mine earlier this week. The TMR on the MK6 3-18 is appropriately sized especially for a 6x mag ratio. I was more afraid of the reticle being too thick at 18x mag than too thin at 3x. I'm kind of anal...

    Rifle Scopes Quick Disconnect Mount for Smaller Objective Scope

    I'm considering buying a Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44mm and wanted to know if there were any 34mm QD mounts out there which are a bit lower in height. I own a Bobro QD mounts in 30mm which is great but I find them a tad high. It was even able to mount my Nightforce NXS with 56mm bell onto the rail...

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce "B.E.A.S.T." & ATACR

    Re: New Nightforce "B.E.A.S.T." & ATACR The ATACR looks promising, 34mm tube and finally, ED GLASS!! something NF has been missing currently. NXS guts with quality glass will be a tough combo to beat even if it is SFP. Hope it prices competitively.

    Rifle Scopes Premier CS Rocks!

    Re: Premier CS Rocks! I recently received my new Premier Heritage 5-25x56 from SWFA which was backordered for over a month. It had the Optronika logo as well. Yesterday I took it out to the range for the first time and was blown away by the clarity and precision. Coming from NF and Leupold...

    Aftermarket cheekpiece for AICS stock

    Re: Aftermarket cheekpiece for AICS stock Cool! Exactly what I was looking for. Due to my low scope ring height, I currently use the stock cheek piece at the lowest setting. Can you confirm that this aftermarket cheek piece is at least no higher / thicker than the stock one? If so I...

    Does anybody make one? The stock one is okay, but wanted to see if there were any other options available.

    Rifle Scopes Upgrade to NF? If you were me type question.

    Re: Upgrade to NF? If you were me type question. I also owned two Leupold MK4s 6.5-20x50 and a NightForce NSX 5.5-22x56. While I totally agree on most areas the NF is superior, glass quality is NOT one of them... I own and have looked thru alot of high end glass and have 20/20 vision. At...

    Weigh commercial ammo for consistency??

    Re: Weigh commercial ammo for consistency?? Thanks, I thought that might have been a little too easy of a plan. The Black Hills rounds already shoot very well. At this point my skills need more work. My friend who was in the military seems to outshoot me often even when using my guns. I...
