    Rifle Scopes Nightforce rings and base selection

    So, I am going to order a Nightforce F1 3.5-15X50 for my Larue .308 OBR - thank you everyone for your help and input. Now, I have 2 questions. What size rings should I get, and do I need a 20moa base if I plan on shooting this thing 1000 yards? I am assuming that I can do without one, but am...

    Rifle Scopes Help selecting a Nightforce scope please...

    Re: Help selecting a Nightforce scope please... Good to know that there is a MLR 2.0. This information isn't even on their web site. Guess they will be getting a call on Monday. Just out of curiosity, where did you get your scope from? Smaller stores say they are on back order 3-6 mos due...

    Re: Help selecting a Nightforce scope please... I want to thank everyone for your help. All of this information has been extremely helpful. In the past week I have changed my mind to about 3 different scopes, and the price range I was looking at has gone up as well I have decided on the...

    Rifle Scopes Help selecting a Nightforce scope please...

    Re: Help selecting a Nightforce scope please... So, I called Nightforce, and the F1 is only available in the 3.5-15x50, and the subtensions are 1 MOA going both ways (windage and elevation). The guy at Nighrforce says that in his opinion, the 3.5x15 is a better match for the Larue .308 than...

    Rifle Scopes Help selecting a Nightforce scope please...

    Re: Help selecting a Nightforce scope please... Other question I was wondering, if I did get the 5.5-22, at 5.5 magnification, how close could you comfortably shoot a moving target 100 yards, 50 yards, 20 yards compared with the 3.5? For the most part I will be using this rifle for long...

    Rifle Scopes Help selecting a Nightforce scope please...

    Re: Help selecting a Nightforce scope please... I looked at the NP-RF1 on Nightforce's website, and to me it looks like the elevation and windage markings are the same - 1 MOA. Is this correct? I was under the impression that all of the reticles were in the first focal plane, but I guess...

    Rifle Scopes Help selecting a Nightforce scope please...

    Re: Help selecting a Nightforce scope please... Thanks for the info guys. I spoke with 2 different gun shops as well, and they said pretty much the same thing 5.5-22x50. Now the last thing is the reticle. NP-R1 with MOA turrents, or MLR with mil turrents. Any real pros or cons to either...

    Rifle Scopes Help selecting a Nightforce scope please...

    Let me preface this by stating that I have shot pistol for years, but have just recently started shooting rifle. Earlier this year after a lot of research, I bought a 18" LaRue OBR, and have been extremely happy with it. I have been shooting it with the iron sights, and am now ready to...

    Questions about options for new Larue Rifle

    Re: Questions about options for new Larue Rifle I appreciate everyone's help. First, I have seen that different people like different brands and hate other brands for whatever reason, and the mention of a certain brand strikes a cord with some. I don't have a .308 yet, so I can be a little...

    Questions about options for new Larue Rifle

    Re: Questions about options for new Larue Rifle Thanks for the help. On the pictures, it looks like the Magpul UBR has an integrated cheek piece as well, but I'm not sure. Anyone have one of these? And yes, I have looked at all of the above (POF, LWRC, LMT, etc.) and have decided on the...

    Questions about options for new Larue Rifle

    I have decided to order a new .308 18" Larue rifle direct from the company next week. I was going to order the rifle now, and then in a few months I was going to order a bipod, optics, etc. My question is about the stock and the grip. Any recommendations about which stock and grip I should...

    Rifle Scopes Optics to go along with Larue OBR 18" - ?Horus

    Hi, excuse the ignorance but I was looking for some help in deciding on which scope to buy. I have finally decided after researching for months to buy a Larue OBR 18". Now I need to start looking at optics. I am looking to shoot (eventually) up to probably 800 yards or so. Anyways, any...

    .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue

    Re: .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue I find this all interesting. Learning a lot. Some good, some bad Any recommendations on barrel length if I were to buy the OBR? 16 vs. 18? Does it really make that much of a difference in velocity, weight, balance, etc???? Thanks.

    .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue

    Re: .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue So, I am leaning towards the Larue, any comments on barrel length? I know that barrel length affects velocity and does not really affect accuracy. I am thinking 16 vs. 18. Have pretty much ruled out the 20". Any input would be helpful. Any...

    .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue

    Re: .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue Thanks to everyone for their help. So from the above posts, I gather that both are excellent firearms. It sounds like I should buy both, but cash would be a problem especially since I just bought another H&K Pistol . It sounds like the OBR is a bit...

    .308 Rifle Opinions - LMT vs. Larue

    So, I had my mind settled on buying a LMT .308, when my friend (who pushed me to buy the LMT in the first place) emailed me that the .308 LaRue OBR rifle shot 1st, 2nd, and 4th place in the 2010 Sniper Competition. And someone else mentioned that I should buy a Sig .308 rifle. So unless...

    Opinions on LMT vs. POF .308

    Re: Opinions on LMT vs. POF .308 Sorry, been crazy at work. Haven't slept much. Thank you to everyone for your input. I think that I am going to purchase the LMT. Are there any significant differences between the chrome lined rifle (WSE) vs. the stainless steel rifle (WSF)? Any other...

    Opinions on LMT vs. POF .308

    Hi, I have narrowed my options to the LMT and the POF. I am going to be using this rifle for med/long range shooting - hopefully out to 500-800 yards once I get a LOT of practice. I have read many threads about these guns and have narrowed it down to the above two. I have a few questions, and...
