    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    I have a CZ550 9.3 x 62 shipping to me and I really don't need anything more than a 4x for it as 300M is about as far as I'd consider using it and more like 100-150. I am trying to find a Leupold VX-II in excellent shape first, but Kaps is the backup plan. I just looked at the site you...

    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    Took your suggestion and got the 4-16x42 F1 Mil-XT version. Do you know anything about Kaps scopes - need a low power fixed for a medium bore Mauser.

    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    Tell me about the turrets - what is considered inferior and which models? Also, what reticle would you recommend?

    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    Since I think most of my shooting will be from the bench, the better ability to collect light would be welcome and since I'm middle aged, the eye's ability to see well at given light levels decreases with time. Not going to be humping this in the field - trick knee. Lastly, we're talking about...

    SSG 69 - stock options

    In any case, Danny at Staffordshire got back to me - not cheap ($800+, could be $200 less without the rail installed), but he does sell to Yanks.

    SSG 69 - stock options

    I know that there are a few euro manufacturers out there that make these modular platforms but I hate everything about them - I'm a Fudd/Boomer at heart (even though I'm neither); I don't like a lot of McMillans designs with the lengthened pistol grip wrists even. Thanks for the suggestion...

    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    Not a lot of places to hump this set-up into the field in Ohio and it's shotgun or straight wall cartridges should one hunt. I was thinking of a 42mm objective scope, but figured that 50mm was still capable of being taken afield if needed and a lot better if shooting from the bench.

    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    Not particularly, but I am trying to build up a stable of good binocs, a scope worthy of the SSG and, eventually, a good spotting scope. I think I've decided on a Steiner M1050R as a good price/performance compromise, the Nightforce ATACR F1 4-20 x 50 with Mil-XT reticle and likely a Kowa...

    That sounds like who I'm thinking of.

    Question about member regarding optics reviews

    It's been a while since I've been here, but I finally got a nice rifle (SSG 69) and am in process of putting together funds for a NF ATACR FFP and recall that there was a member here who did nice reviews of optical products, a gentleman of Eastern European origin, IIRC. Does this ring a bell...

    SSG 69 - stock options

    Anyone have stock options for this now that McMillan no longer seems to offer anything? I saw some mentions of a guy in the UK, Staffordshire Synthetic Stocks, but haven't been able to get a response from them and was wondering what exports from the UK were going to be like. Would like to hear...

    What gear should I buy to DIY mount a scope?

    As much as I can get, but leveling sounds like it might be the most difficult to fathom without being able to see it being done - especially how to reference the plumb bob and where/how I should attach it if I use one at all.

    Anyone have a video link that they've seen that they think is good for showing a newb how-to?

    Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

    If you're addressing me and not some of the others who have piggybacked onto this thread (which is fine with me, BTW), I do expect that, but I also expect I wouldn't be happy with a $300 scope for this set-up. I'm probably leaning toward the Nightforce SHV F1 at this point and don't feel that I...

    Who are these two Japanese OEMs and how do I determine whose product is which?

    I thought the Germans were stingy on the warranties, other than Steiner.

    Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

    I bought a used car once and I got sorta cheated - and by a relative. If I'm no expert, I'd rather buy new and not chance it. I don't know what might be wrong with the scope and I'd be SOL if it were, or I might never get it at all with a private deal, though I expect the key is only dealing...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly

    I know lack of clearance is the penalty for getting rings too short, but what happens if we get rings higher than necessary?
