    Suppressors How quiet really is the ultra 5?

    Nice work! Yea I chimed in a little late, but obviously you made the right choice. Excellent moves!! One final note if you are considering the re-core is that you are basically upgrading to the Ultra 9 without having to wait 9 months for the paperwork. Just a couple of weeks tops for the...

    Suppressors How quiet really is the ultra 5?

    Hi wfjames22, Having both 6.5 and .30 TBAC Ultra 7's, I got .30 when I went to Ultra 5's. To me the added versatility and not having to be extra careful on which suppressor I grabbed ( I shoot calibers from .224 to .300/.308 through them) was a much much better benefit than the marginal...

    The Fix from Q

    Hi esw004, Thank you for explaining. Sheesh I am not sure how I would feel about them swapping out my barrel without at least asking first and an explanation. When you say "scuffed up" you mean externally? How many rounds did you have down it/how was the accuracy? Have you shot the new...

    The Fix from Q

    Hi esw004, Glad they got you fixed up, they have been very helpful for me on the couple of minor issues I have had (broke the little plastic backer tightening down the cheek-piece screw too much and lost a spring from the grip lol...both quickly replaced). Was there a note or other...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K318i vs K525i

    Hi skip9693, Short answer: Unless you absolutely need the short setup of the 318i, go with the 525i. Not even a close contest in my opinion. The 525i is the same price (or very close), 2 oz heavier (negligible), relatively short for a 5-25 (will not look out of place on that sweet Tac...

    Rifle Scopes ARC M10 and Kahles 525i

    Hi Archangel01, To answer your question, you will be 100% good to go with the ARC M10 rings torqued to spec on a Kahles. Some instructions say 55 in-lbs, some newer ones say 65 in-lbs, but I have always just stuck with the 55 in-lbs (base and cap) and had zero problems with quality scopes...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 8 vs NF 7-35 ATACR

    Hi just browsing, Thank you for the response. I would imagine some level of our different experiences could be attributed to the differences between the 3.5-18x44 Mark 5 and the 5-25x56 Mark 5 (not both apples to apples with the Mark 8 3.5-25x56). As you note glass can be very much up to...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 8 vs NF 7-35 ATACR

    Hi just browsing, I take it the Mark 5 vs. Mark 8 bit is in response to my first comment about which Leupold 5-25 I would choose (to be crystal clear I don't especially care for either, but do prefer the Mark 5 between the 2 if forced based on my limited experience with both). Genuinely...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 8 vs NF 7-35 ATACR

    Hi gconnoyer, Assuming you are happy with both scopes in general for your intended use i.e. their base specs/the particular configuration of the two you are looking at (reticle, weight, power range etc.), then that is a no-brainer win for the ATACR 7-35 in my opinion. A great opportunity to...

    EuroOptic Messing With Me

    Also I don't know if it is possible, but you might consider trying to get this thread moved over to the Optics section for a bit better visibility and for more pointed info/responses. Good luck again with the choice, it is a good problem to have ha! -TSean

    EuroOptic Messing With Me

    Hi powerspc, To answer your original question between a TT525P (Gen. 2XR) and a discounted S&B 3-27 P4F, I would take the TT everytime, in no small part due to the reticle, but also because I favor the TT overall. However, if you wanted one of those discounted optics at EuroOptic, they have...

    Rifle Scopes Premier Heritage light tactical, 3-15x setting zero

    Nice work Scott! That is a great scope, glad you got it dialed and got out shooting. How are you liking the scope/reticle etc.? Have a good one! -TSean

    Rifle Scopes Premier Heritage light tactical, 3-15x setting zero

    A5scott, DO NOT DO THAT! What are you doing man haha? You are making this 10x harder than it is. Read the comments from Plange. Post #5 spells it out clearly, as well as #8 from j-dubya. The only screws you touch are the ones actually holding the turret cap on. All you have to do is...

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    Hi KimberGuy, Great post with some well articulated points. I would like to provide some counter-points for discussion, but before I do that let me say that I too would prefer smaller center dots in both the NX8 and ATACR reticles as a matter of personal preference. It is one of the reasons...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 3-15M VS P

    Hi Just Macca, ILya said it well, optically the 3-15M and 3-15P are identical. The differences are of course the tube diameter, turrets/total travel, tool-less adjustment and weight. Between the 2 I actually prefer the P for the turrets and overall "feel", but really there is no way to argue...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for lightweight, quality scope recommendations

    Hey BlkZ06, What are your "must haves" and what is the order of importance? Absolute size/weight, reticle style and illumination, turrets (locking or not, how many mils?), glass and overall quality (I assume top tier based on your original post), FFP vs. SFP, power range, etc. That will...

    Rifle Scopes Ultra rugged compact scope for light weight 308 bolt action.

    g3ninfinite, The short answer is "no", there isn't really anything directly comparable to that NF in my opinion (all things considered). It is such a nice little niche that I would love to see that configuration get the full "ATACR" treatment aka best possible glass and at least capped...

    Rifle Scopes MSR Reticle

    If you like and understand using a clean .5 mil marked reticle, it is absolutely excellent. One of my favorites for sure. Very visible, great line thickness (fine but not too fine) and I also really like the 3 heavy bars (top and sides) starting at 5 mils out instead of 8 or 10. Don't really...

    Rifle Scopes Scope mounts for Tangent Theta 315M

    Josh0419, I think ILya makes a good case for getting a mount with 20 moa built in for the 3-15M (provided your rail is 0 moa/flat of course). As he says "Why not", especially in the case of the 3-15M so you can have full travel? I am so used to 20 or 30moa built into a rail that I had...

    The Fix from Q

    Ah of course, a canted mount. Smart choice, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for the answer, have a good one! -TSean
