    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Mil-R ... Good Reticle for Beginner?

    If the mil-r is significantly discounted, then I'd go with it. If it's the same price as mil-c, I'd go with that. Both are good reticles, but mil-c is better

    Rifle Scopes School me...

    For $400 you can't go wrong with a PST 2 3-15. If you don't buy it, let me know. My brother needs a long range scope in this price range and that would be perfect. Where are you seeing them for $599?

    Rifle Scopes School me...

    It doesn't matter if you can get a Razor at $1400 or $1550. For a new shooter, it can't do anything that an $850 SWFA can't do. $700 of practice ammo is far superior to the miniscule difference between the two scopes to a new shooter.

    Rifle Scopes School me...

    Nothing wrong with a Razor or SHV (I'm not a big Bushnell fan). But I shot my SWFA HD out to 1,100 yards with zero issues. There just isn't that much that a Razor offers to an entry-level shooter that an SWFA HD doesn't. It'll be a long time before the scope holds you back.

    Rifle Scopes School me...

    What are you going to do with it? For beginners, it's just hard to go wrong with a used SWFA 5-20 HD. They work well, they're easy to use, they have good glass, and they're affordable. Not the most modern optic, but that kinda stuff doesn't really matter when you're just learning. What...

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    I know plenty about scopes. My Tikka CTR has a nice scope on it because I shoot it frequently. I hardly ever shoot this Annie and it makes no sense to spend a bunch of money on a scope for a rifle that I'll hardly shoot. Starting to lean towards just leaving it with irons. Love the look and...

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    Yes, but I'd prefer to use the grooves if possible.

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    Someone recommended the Mueller on RFC. I don't get how anyone is still making scopes with mil reticle and MOA turrets. I'll just keep shooting irons before I spend money on something that poorly designed. Just against my morals...can't do it.

    Stock for Tikka CTR

    That looks great. If they'd had this option when I purchased, I certainly would have bought it. The mag is a $100 add-on for those of us not already invested in AICS. So the price difference goes up a bunch between Bravo and Manners now that they offer the CTR option. And I do like the look...

    Rifle Scopes Recommendations On a 3-15 Under $1k

    It's really not impossible to build a decent 3-15 scope for under $1k anymore. There are lots of good options. The DMRII mentioned above would be high on my list. PST2 and XTR2 would be as well. With the XTR3 out, you ought to be able to find a 3-15 XTR2 used for way less than $1k, but it's...

    Rifle Scopes MK5 or ATACR

    ATACR, and it's not particularly close, especially for your intended uses. JMHO

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    I've got spare triad tactical cheek pads - just hate to cover up such a nice looking stock. I'd consider just leaving it with irons before spending hundreds on a scope & rings to do that. This is my one really nice looking rifle.

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    I'd be open to an SWFA 3-15 if I knew it would fit with low rings and be useable with the low comb on the factory stock. What kind of rings are folks using on these?

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    Will it fit with the low Talley rings?

    There was a question earlier about Manners impacting accuracy. I can report after having shot about 600 rounds on the factory stock and another 800 on the Manners that the Manners hasn't really impacted group size, but it has made my cold bore shot much more repeatable. It's about .2 mils high...

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    Looking for the best scope I can find under $250. I just don't shoot 22 much, but I fell in love with this Annie and got a sweet deal on it. What scope & rings could I put on it to keep the scope height reasonable? The stock on this rifle is set up to use the irons, so I don't want it very...

    Rifle Scopes Delta stryker hd 5-50x50

    I don't worry about parallax - I just turn the knob to make it clear. But I usually use the numbers to get in the ballpark and there just isn't much to go by on the Delta. But believe me, it's a tiny, tiny complaint. The reticle is freaking perfect and the glass is fantastic. It's right on...

    Rifle Scopes One Scope On Multiple Rifles

    Couldn't agree more. I actually had an SWFA 5-20 HD that I was swapping between two rifles, and just bought a fixed 16x SWFA to put on the 2nd rifle because it sucked so much. I'll never do it again.
