    What gear should I buy to DIY mount a scope?

    Brownell's has all their Borka stuff listed "discontinued" - any suggestions about another source or brand?

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

    What's the difference between Bushnell's hunting and tactical elite scope lines, beyond a fraction of an inch in length and around an ounce difference (and the very similar reticles)?

    For good rings, I've seen Badger, Seekins and TPS mentioned, occasionally Vortex or Nightforce, though at least a couple folks I've read were not impressed with the NF rings. Anything else?

    Is the implication of your last sentence that Leupold doesn't track well?

    So, should one take proper tracking to be a measure of construction quality since it has to be repeatable every time its adjusted?

    What gear should I buy to DIY mount a scope?

    I've seen references to lapping (thus a kit) to avoid marring and deforming tubes and I know one needs a torque driver to get torque right to avoid deforming a tube as well, but what else would one recommend, like a boresight? I don't mind investing a couple hundred or so to get some decent...

    Okay, I think I know what you mean now - dialing in an exact elevation/windage change versus holdover to get where I want. I would think I'd probably do both. I expect windage is more important to dial in than elevation, with regard to using Kentucky windage/holdover to hit POA. Since I might...

    Get in great shape and your heart rate will automatically become low enough not to be a major issue, otherwise I concur with the post above. After going through the AHA's ACLS course and learning to work codes, you realize that giving cardiac drugs is no joke and dangerous even within a...

    Hold vs. dial? I'm not quite sure what you mean here.

    Of those two, which would you say topped the other, or if hard to compare, what do you believe are their respective strengths in comparison? I would probably list these two as what I would consider as my first choices over the others I mentioned, even though they cost more.

    I see Bushnell, Burris and Weaver being mentioned as options here (in other threads as well), but when I was a kid, all those were, at least for binocs, mediocre options compared to something like a pair of Steiners. Have they gotten better or have they always had a higher end line that...

    I've owned a lot of milsurp rifles, an AR & AK, a couple FALs and shoot them as a hobby, so I'm not a hunter and I'm getting old enough that presbyopia should hit any day now and my vision has peaked enough that iron sights are getting harder to use. I am looking to buy a rifle, say Tikka T3...
