    That Vortex appears to be a good choice. Now if I could just get a plain reticle in it!

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Advice

    You're right Magnumdood! I have a Zeiss 3.5 15 conquest HD on one of my other bolt rifles. great scope but that's way more glass than I need for a short distance brush gun.

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Advice

    Thanks for the reply Special_KG, you also pepper. I have indeed looked closely at the SWFA and the Vortex which appear to be solid glass. The NF fits my needs for a more "plain" reticle as does the slightly smaller objective. I plan to go ahead and order one and see how it compares to my Leupold...

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Advice

    I am shopping for a scope for my compact 308 Win. The majority of my shots while hunting are 50 to 100 yards. On occasion I also like to shoot some paper out to maybe 300 yards max or small steel targets. I reload my ammo so I have a load for target and one for hunting. That's where my delima...

    Rifle Scopes Scope opinions for a new build

    I do like the Firdot on my 1x4 VXR. I am not sure a 6x is enough power for me to accurate out several hundred yards. The 3x9 may be a good choice. Thanks Crosshair!

    Gunsmithing How short is too short

    Sounds good HuDisCo. I load most of my stuff but it is always nice to have a factory ammo on hand that shoots good. I have good luck with the Hornady 165gr SST too in my other Rem700 tactical. Makes dead animals on contact!

    Gunsmithing How short is too short

    Thanks guys! Will I notice any significant increase in muzzle blast? Like I could tell with my bad hearing. I plan on putting this set up in a MDT LSS chassis with a collapsible stock for a compact rifle for the brush country. One option I might have would be a Rem 700 AAC SD in 308win. It has...

    Gunsmithing How short is too short

    Hey guys! I need some input/advice on a project gun I am building. This will be a short range,50 to 200 yard, hunting rifle. Yeah I know most of you guys are long rangers! I have a Remington 700 SPS tactical 1/12 rifling 20 inch barrel. I want to cut it down to 16 or 17 inches. Yeah I know...
