    Rifle Scopes Scope for a first time AR user

Different magnification setting's as well. 30 MOA tube's and no plastic or decal's applied. Definitely a much nicer more...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M223 one piece mount question

    I would see if you can slide it forward 1 groove and move the scope back or move it back and the scope forward. I had a RR AR that had a similar issue many years ago. I even sent it back to them because I didn't think the probelm should have been there in the first place. No luck in the fix...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Optic Mounts

    I do some freelance PR/Shooting Event's for Nikon and I can assure you that you will not have any issues using the M-308 20 MOA mount with any Nikon scopes that will fit between the rings. I think there is probably only one scope that will not fit that mount and that is the P-223 3X carbine...

    Anything wrong with Nikon prostaff 5 ?

    Nikon Fieldscope First off let me tell you that I do some freelance PR work for Nikon, that being said, I will give you my honest opinion on my experiences with the PROSTAFF 3/5 and the ED50.

    Rifle Scopes Any expirence with Nikon Prostaff 5 4.5-18x40?

    I have used that PROSTAFF scope and I think you would be happier with a MONARCH 3 4-16 BDC. I have used one to shoot to 500 yards going 10 for 10 on 12 inch steel plates. The BDC reticle will allow you to dial in your rifle scope and ammo for the greatest possible accuracy. A scope I have on my...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon scope help

    Yes, You are correct. One of the things I am in the habit of doing is glancing at my turret's before shooting to make sure they have not turned while I haul my rifle on a sling or being slid out of my rifle case. A quick glance is all it takes.

    No worries, it's really quite easy, pull out turret so it spins freely (no clicks), turn it to zero and push it in. Now you have returned all setting's to zero.
