    Rifle Scopes Burris scope with oddball feature. Gimmick or functional ?

    It's a Fajan stock with the "60s look" about it. The checkering and bolt engine turning is horrible and it looks like 5 coats of spar varnish on the wood. Oddly enough, the inletting is a perfect job. Given the 1X wood quality, I'm not sure spending the time and money to refinish it, straighten...

    Rifle Scopes Burris scope with oddball feature. Gimmick or functional ?

    Thanks for the info. Burris told me it has the lifetime warranty and was made up to about 2000. Can't see it does anything so guess I'll just leave it open. The Pawn Shop "deal" was a sporterized nickel steel 03' in 30-06 with a rotten bore, this scope and Leupold mounts. The price was...

    Rifle Scopes Burris scope with oddball feature. Gimmick or functional ?

    Recently bought a rifle carrying a Burris Signature USA 3-12x 45 (?) that has an adjustable iris like a manual camera. In a camera the iris (f stop) is used in conjunction with the shutter speed to adjust the proper exposure and control the depth of field (which items will be in focus). In an...

    Need very heavy rifle BiPod help

    Have a purpose built 1000 yard gong ringer in 338 RUM. Withe the IOR 4-28x56 it comes in at 20 pounds and most of the weight is forward as the balance point is 1/2 the distance between the front of the trigger guard and end of fore end. (F class Savage stock). Have had no luck in finding a...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron 10-50x60mm Target Dot Reticle SIII LR

    Re: Sightron 10-50x60mm Target Dot Reticle SIII LR Sightron 10-50x60 ...... hmmm, did a search, looked at 4 pages, found 3 references to this scope. None were hands' on reports. On your 8-32, you should have gone to Amazon, no shortage of them there.

    Rifle Scopes Sightron 10-50x60mm Target Dot Reticle SIII LR

    Just got the new Sinclair catalog and see this scope in there. Own a number of smaller Sightrons and they are excellent scopes. This scope appears to be very reasonable given the features and flexibility. Wondering of any members of the hide have tried it. I am especially concerned about clarity...

    Rifle Scopes Sightmark laser sight won't hold zero ?

    I put a $120 Sightmark green laser with the push to activate pad on my lightweight (5 pound) carbon fiber AR build (223). First I put it in bayonet lug mount which is rock solid, no joy. Then I spent the bucks for a Elzetta ZORM offset mount to go on the top rail under the scope, again no joy...

    Rifle Scopes Flat Top Ring Height for HDMR Scope

    Re: Flat Top Ring Height for HDMR Scope You can't use the same rings unless your bolt gun has a VERY high comb. ARs need special rings like Warne Maxima Tactical Rings 1" for AR15 Flat tops, they are VERY high but give proper head alignment and cheek weld. On a bolt gun, you want them just...

    Gunsmithing .308 variant AR tuning, accurizing.

    Re: .308 variant AR tuning, accurizing. The easiest path to an accurate 308 AR is to buy a DPMS LR model, put a quality trigger and good optics on it. You will have a sub MOA, albeit, heavy rifle. A build with various piece parts is always a bit of a crap shoot. Think of buying a Savage F...

    Help me spend my christmas money to buy a Savage

    Re: Help me spend my christmas money to buy a Savage I agree, if you want a light, reasonable accurate rifle. (The OP really didn't say.) You want to shoot 2000 yards at whatever, long barrels, unfluted do better. Fluting just introduces another variable and unknown stresses on a barrel. It...

    Rifle Scopes NF 2.5-10X32?

    Re: NF 2.5-10X32? Wonderful scope, have one with the HV reticle on my 300 winnie R1, BUT it is a SFP scope and ranging is set up for 10X. The illumination is excellent and it mounts nice and low. There was no sun on the mountain behind me when this 4X4 at 275 met his demise @10X.

    Help me spend my christmas money to buy a Savage

    Re: Help me spend my christmas money to buy a Savage All the factory rifles over 308 Winnie have barrels too short to get maximum velocity from the large cartridges. Fluting a barrel is cool but not a good idea if you want maximum accuracy.

    338 Bullet Testing / Demonstration LV Nev.

    Re: 338 Bullet Testing / Demonstration LV Nev. This is really interesting data but I have a couple of questions: 1. If I read these many pages correctly, it appears that even very good, long in business, bullet makers cannot be trusted to provide accurate data on their bullets. (Berger...

    Looking for a 338 RUM

    Re: Looking for a 338 RUM By the time you find a Senedaro and get it rebuilt so it will shoot it will cost you as much as a build. The 700 barrels are a 400 round proposition and too short as well. Get a Savage right bolt, left port single shot match action. Change the bolt head and firing...

    Rifle Scopes the all new IOR 12-52 x 56 TERMINATOR!

    Read the website over and over. Can't understand why IOR cannot put the THREE letters FFP or SFP in ALL their descriptions. Regardless the Terminator (SFP) will be going on my new 338 RUM build (Savage match action, 34" 3 groove SS barrel w/coating, 35 min rail and FT/R stock.) that is a purpose...

    Looking for a Savage Bolt rifle

    Been casting the net w/o success. Looking for a Savage 116 375 H&H, 300 RUM, 338 RUM, 375 RUM or any other large shank model that has a 3.6" magazine box.. I've seen them in the past in stainless synthetic/wood with and w/o the "turn on/off" muzzle brake. Doesn't have to be NIB or a safe queen...

    AR 15 very light weight upper beeded

    Re: AR 15 very light weight upper beeded You are correct. After many phone calls the Bushmaster Carbon comes in @ 4 pounds which is the least by at least 18 ounces. Also 200 bucks + more than the DPMS Sportical but worth it.
