    Rifle Scopes Scope for my SR25

    As test scores can demonstrate, "modern" is not a synonym for "better."

    Rifle Scopes Scope for my SR25

    I have no complaint about Kahles glass, but has Kahles' ruggedness improved since the 1990's? At that time Kahles was building Swarovski's scopes and I had catastrophic failures of two very expensive such scopes. In one scope the erector assembly canted about 30° in the housing. In the other...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for my SR25

    What is the rifle's mission? Without knowing that... Unless you have the 24" match upper, I'd suggest the Leupold 1.1-8x24 CQBSS with the H27D reticle. The illuminated portion of the reticle is excellent at any power and the "Christmas tree" portion of the reticle is unobtrusive at low power...

    Hunting & Fishing Northern Arizona Fishing

    Why settle for something that is like a fish only smaller? Consider that Punta Peñasco is about 2½ hours south of Phoenix. Phoenix Fishing Tackle on 16th St., just south of Camelback, has a good selection of saltwater tackle and can offer feedback on charters.

    Rifle Scopes .300 blk reticles—Leupold v. Trijicon

    If BTR2 illumination is OFF, are the horseshoe and dot still visible? All the images I find have illumination ON. Also, some images show capped turrets, others do not. Are the turrets capped or readily accessible?

    Rifle Scopes .300 blk reticles—Leupold v. Trijicon

    Great suggestion. The Mark 6 with the TMR-D seems a good match—just have to memorize two sets of come-ups for super- and sub-sonic. I have to chuckle. With no shortage of choices, the little ones are having the most fun shooting the .300 BLK and the CZ527 Carbine in 7.62x39. More fun than...

    Rifle Scopes .300 blk reticles—Leupold v. Trijicon

    Night hunting, home defense, 3-Gun, family fun at the range, etc. so near 1x at the low end is desirable. We are already mil/mil/mil, so moa scopes are out.... and mil/mil/mil is our dogmatic religion :-) "Scope the use, not the caliber" is generally a useful aphorism, however the vast...

    What are your thoughts on the HTI system? Here's the rub for me—every time I run the numbers for a decked out HTI system (.50BMG + .375CT + S&B + reloading equipment + other accoutrements) I find myself close to a Ma Deuce plate + parts kit (I never should have sold mine). I am aware that the...

    Any quality mil/mil/mil scopes you'd recommend that seem a match for the .300BLK?

    Rifle Scopes .300 blk reticles—Leupold v. Trijicon

    Thanks Gents. May fav load is the 150 grain Nosler BTs in front of 22.0 gn of AA1680 (mean ~2100 fps in 16" barrel), definitely not the BDC calibrated load. You have all validated my concern that the BDC scopes won't be close enough to be useful. A Mark 8 CQBSS seems over-kill/over-price for a...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II/LP/MTC/LT or Kahles k624i MSR-K

    Though the AMR reticle seems an improvement over the Horus family of reticles, I have been leery of Kahles scopes since I had catastrophic failures on two different Kahles-manufactured Swarovski scopes in the 90's (the STANAG mounts sheared off one scope that was used on a special receiver AUG...
