    6.5 Creedmoor 1/7 Twist barrel

    I know for a fact that a 1/8 - 1/9 will hammer the 140's and 142's. The 1/8 seems to be the norm for most shooting the heavier pills, mostly in 24-26" barrels. I wanted to try a 1/6.5 in a 20" but I think I will start with a 1/7 in a 22" since my JP gasser is 22". I can keep similar ballistics...

    6.5 Creedmoor 1/7 Twist barrel

    I'm curious to get the thoughts of those on here about my next rebarrel. I've shot my 243 out at 1400 rounds and have decided to give the 6.5 Creedmoor a shot. I am of the belief that in a shorter barrel a faster twist rate for moderate velocity cartridges will provide better accuracy through...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR vs S&B PMII 5-25

    I'm not tracking, the 5-25 can be used the same way. It has a dot at 12.5x to signify half power. At 12.5x or half power the reticle is worth twice value. At 5x it is worth 5 times the value.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce BEAST pushed back again

    The BEAST is on track as scheduled for Q3 release to dealers that got early orders in. I can tell you that Hide Dealers were some of the first to secure orders for the BEAST at SHOT. ATACR is in high demand and by no means is production getting scaled back on the ATACR. The ATACR has proven to...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce zero stop issue

    I'd recommend sending it in for repair. Contact Customer Service at (208) 476-9814 ext. 201 to get an RMA#. That clutch should spin freely when all 4 screws are loosened. There is most likely a microscopic burr preventing it from rotating smoothly and freely.

    Rifle Scopes Mil dot and magnification

    I'm thinking you mean your reticle stays constant in proportion to the target? If so, it is a second focal plane reticle (SFP) and your reticle subtensions change as you change magnification. To calculate that, you need to know your reticle calibrated setting which you say is 12x. Once you know...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Competition DDR

    The reticle subtends properly at 55x. Half power(27.5x) is marked with a dot on the power zoom ring. At half power, your subtensions double. To figure your subtensions at a magnification other than the calibrated setting; Divide your actual magnification in to the calibrated magnification and...

    Rifle Scopes Great review of the Nighforce ATACR

    The only similarity of the prescription in the BEAST and the ATACR is that they utilize the latest ED Glass Technology. That is the only way in which they are the same. They both produce phenomenal end results as does our new Competition 15-55x52. As for a thinner version of the MOAR, it was...

    Rifle Scopes Great review of the Nighforce ATACR

    In Jeff's review.....he references the line thickness of the MOAR as .140moa in the ATACR when it is .110moa. The 15x MOAR is .140 and the 22x is .125.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR 5-25x In Hand

    It uses ED glass in the prescription. Not advertised as HD. But I have used the comparison that it is like comparing televisions as to how good the image is. NXS is more like standard definition TV while the ATACR is like watching HD television.

    Rifle Scopes Why not an MOA-Dot instead of mil-dot?

    The original Mil-Dot was made by crimping balls of solder on to a wire reticle. The Mil being a rather coarse measurement; the dots were spaced far enough apart as to not crowd each other. Had the MOA been a popular system of reticle measure when the Mil-Dot came to be, there most likely would...
