    Rifle Scopes Help picking light weight scope for shorty build

    Vortex 2-10 PST? That's a killer scope. Only downsides are weight and non locking turrets. Check em before you shoot and you'll be fine.

    Who makes LOW Cantilever Mounts (for 30mm and 34mm tubes)?

    It'll probably work in the sense that you'll be able to zero it and have it hold zero, but the likelihood of bending the scope is gonna increase exponentially.

    Who makes LOW Cantilever Mounts (for 30mm and 34mm tubes)?

    I know it isn't going to sound cool with all of the Gucci mounts out now, but my needs were like yours. I wanted something light, robust and relatively low. All of my tube optics are now in Leupold Mark AR mounts. Centerline height is 1.4", they are relatively light at around 6 Oz and you can...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    It sounds like what is sought after is a matter of wants and not needs. Honestly, if you re evaluate your want list to fall more in line with what is really needed to shoot 300 yards at a range, you could broaden your choices and save yourself some money. You just plain don't need a first...

    Rifle Scopes Help picking light weight scope for shorty build

    What's your budget? Man, I get what it is that you're looking. I'd love to be able to have my cake and eating it too. Unfortunately, light gathering ability while having a small objective is impossible. I mean, you can get a really good LPVO that does well for an LPVO at gathering light, but no...

    Rifle Scopes Credo 1-10 or Vudu 1-10

    How's the illumination? Regardless, let us know how the reticle is on 1x when running drills. I have a lot of vegetation where I am and small reticle gets lost without illumination.

    Rifle Scopes Credo 1-10 or Vudu 1-10

    I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread. I'm interested in the 1-10x credo myself. I did hear one reference in some YouTube video that the illumination is pretty bright. That would be a plus. As for those thinking about the PLXc, I just got one and have about 1k rounds with it. I'm having really...

    New scope and rings advice newbie

    I've gotta give another plug for the Gen II PST. Just about everything in that line is a great bang for the buck. Really good glass, comfortable eyebox and accurate turrets/reticle. The only thing i don't like about them is that, although the elevation has a zero stop, the windage doesn't have...

    Factory 300 Blackout with reliable velocity consistency

    I've been shooting the 110gr V-Max from Blackdot Ammo. It goes for right around 80 cents a round shipped. The cost is about neck and neck with what the AAC stuff costs delivered. I'm getting much more consistent velocities out if it than I was with anything that AAC sells. I have no problems...

    Interesting variance in gas port size

    Being new to 300 Blackout, I'm going through similar issues myself. What I settled on was getting a handful of YHM suppressor gas blocks. They come stock with something around a .054 gas port. I then went to McMaster Carr and ordered a selection of drill bits so I could set my preferred gas port...

    Who is making the most consistent rimfire barrels right now?

    I'd have to go Shilen. Never had a bad experience nor heard of one from anyone I know. I'm shooting a Lilja right now and when I can, I'm gonna go custom based on a Shilen tube.

    SK Long Range match

    What sucks about SK is that you can't order it by lot number. What I wind up having to do is calling or emailing my vendor(s) to ask how many different lots they have and place an order for a brick of each lot. I try to test 4 or 5 lots when I need to restock. When I find the ONE, I order up...

    Flyers and action screw torque

    It's really odd that adjusting torque values makes such a difference, since you're using a chassis. I can understand the benchrest guys doing it to eek out every bit of accuracy they can, but adjusting the torque on your action screws to get rid of fliers sounds like the bedding block in your...

    Ruger American Ranch Upgrade

    Well, apparently, someone can dish it out, but can't take it.

    Ruger American Ranch Upgrade

    It is true that you could add what you feel like to enhance the enjoyment of the rifle and make it your own, but the Ruger Americans are kind of a purpose built rifle. Light, robust, no frills work horse. I just don't see the sense in trying to make it something it isn't. I don't look at that...

    Ruger American Ranch Upgrade

    I don't know about spending $300 for those 2 accessories on a $500 rifle, not at retail. Eurooptics has the trigger for $109 as of last night. I am toying with the idea of turning the bolt knob down and threading it for a new knob. Having to replace the whole handle for a new knob is...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    I have a Ranch in 7.62x39. Mine shoots MOA or better with Russian steel cased ammo. Any other ammo has been hit and miss, except for the Hornady Black SST. That stuff shoots sub MOA. It's a light, cheap rifle that shoots well, so I didn't spend a lot of money trying to polish a turd only to...

    Ruger American Predator stock MODS

    I did the same thing to my grip using JB Weld steel putty. It made a big difference for me. If you're looking to add weight, try tungsten powder. Lots of weight in little space. If you do the thing with the BBs, don't just pour the BBs in and pour the epoxy on top. Mix the BBs with the epoxy...

    Ruger American Ranch Upgrade

    I have a Ranch in 7.62x39, and like you, it's my humping around rifle. The main reason I bought it was because it was so light. I read a lot of posts on the web about how flimsy the stock is. I looked into upgrading, but that's gonna mean adding like 1.5 lbs to the weight of the rifle. After...

    Ruger american hunter 308

    For what it's worth, I have a Predator model with an 18" barrel and I also shoot the 150gr Hornady Whitetail. It is not match ammo, but I've had good results with it. After getting to know the rifle, I quit shooting five round groups and limit my strings of fire to 3 rounds when shooting for...
