    F T/R Competition LEUPOLD VX-6 7-42x56

    Al, I believe this scope has leaf springs but my comments are based on using both products a bunch and based on what I have seen. The 6x zoom was what we asked for. Everytime I see a scope with more than 6X zoom I start seeing huge problems come about as its harder to make that a 4 or 6x zoom...

    F T/R Competition LEUPOLD VX-6 7-42x56

    For my money the NXS was a better scope than the Competition but the new Leupold is better than either of them. Better glass. More and better adjustments and lighter.

    F T/R Competition LEUPOLD VX-6 7-42x56

    Because the Leupold is a better all around scope. I have used both a bunch and not just bench racing here. Never turned down from 42X. You should try it You will find you get a better sight picture at 1000 yards during mirage and scores tend to go up.

    Rifle Scopes Mark 6 3x18 question

    You can kill just about any scope leaving the knobs cranked down on a 40mo base. Many of us on US Team found this problem when we set our high magnification scopes at 100 yard zeros and left them there. Over time the springs on every brand scope go weaker and when we dialed to 1000 plus yards...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 6 3x18 question

    I have tested and tested my MK6's and they work flawlessly. I have seen many scopes fail tests but that just means that particular scope failed. My MK6's work as they should.

    F T/R Competition LEUPOLD VX-6 7-42x56

    It has a Zero Stop Feature you can set at any distance. I usually set mine at 2 moa under closest distance I will shoot so I can adjust for conditions.

    F T/R Competition LEUPOLD VX-6 7-42x56

    That is the best F Class Scope I have ever used at any price. Three of us from US National Team (Stan Pate, John Weil and I) helped with design of this scope and reticle. Leupold wanted to make exactly what we needed and they did so. We used prototype scopes in last Nationals and Individual...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 6 3x18 question

    Best scope for a 308 field weapon I have used. Have one on my M110 clone and on several small 308 bolt guns. Just love these scopes

    F T/R Competition Barrel contour for f-class

    Kirkd, weigh all your parts with a good scale. Then look at a barrel 28-30" long and make it as heavy as you can and still make weight. The heavier the barrel the better but you have to make weight

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Deny, I don't know if we have met or not and I thank you for running matches and helping this sport grow. My comment about F classers shitting on guys is just how I have read these threads and seen in person while shooting matches. The net in written form is often misunderstood but I remember...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    That is exactly what has happened and I agree with making the division. I used to shoot a straight up tactical rifle and it was more fun back then. Out in Sacramento, Jim Oconnell who is a better shooter than anyone on here, runs many matches and sets up a special Tactical Class to shoot...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    As I said sunshine the class idea is not mine. Not perfect but could be modified to work well. Barrel length is enforceable. It only takes a simple measuring device. Measure from bolt face. Use a marked cleaning rod. myself I would go with chamber and throat gauges because if it is spec it...

    Not my idea. I think Vu did so but best you ask him.

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Don't kid yourself. Shooting is a "Martial Art" quote from Kevin a long time ago. I would like to see the Tactical Rifle have its own class in F Class and I would drop my F TR rig in a heart beat to shoot that class. I used a Tactical Rig in F TR for a long time until it just could not compete...

    Opinions on spotting scope

    If you want a good spotting scope for less than 100.00 I suggest Nike Running Shoes because your going to be running down to pits a bunch. nothing in price range is worth having

    Do people actually use their slings when shooting precision rifle?

    A sling is for supported shooting options and carry. A carry strap just carries the rifle. I don't care how many points or adjustments a sling has if you can not get into a supported sling [position and knock the center out of a bull at 200-600 yards your fooling yourself. With that said...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Sterling you are absolutely correct. I believe I learned to shoot, not from the sniper course they sent me but from Shooting Across The Course. I believe I learned to read wind from Palma Shooting. F TR made me a better loader and more precise wind reader because the target is far smaller. I...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    F Class is anything but easy to shoot when you look at top scores. When us FTR guys shoot side by side with Palma shooters there scores are higher because there target is much larger than ours. Before you say they are better shooters, the best Palma Shooters around have shot lots of F TR...
