    Rifle Scopes Is a 20 MOA base really needed with a 34mm scope.

    Thanks Rob. I was arguing with myself over this very issue. I have a nice (Near Mfg.) canted rail bedded to my rifle that my S&B PM II 5-25x56 is going on. I was considering doing away with the canted rail and putting a 0 cant rail on that rifle. However, your explanation makes perfect...

    Rifle Scopes New USO ER25; so they have improved glass and 110 moa elevation = PM11 5-25 Now ?

    USO & Water Waaay back in "the good old days" gun rags had people submerging their scope in water to check for any tell-tale bubbles that would indicate it was not water proof. Then one was directed to freeze the scope overnight to determine if the sub-freezing temperatures would compromise...

    Rifle Scopes Is S&B still the gold standard of rifle scopes?

    Where did their warranty service go?! I own a Hensoldt scope, and while I'm not near as hard on a scope as real life military and police snipers, I'd like to think Hensoldt would honor their warranty if something happened to my scope.

    I'm going to pull the trigger on a S&B 5-25x56, CCW, MTC locking turrets. One feature I really like is the single turn turret.

    Rifle Scopes Is S&B still the gold standard of rifle scopes?

    Is Schmidt & Bender still the scope that all other scopes are measured by? Have some new kids on the block knocked S&B off the top of the mountain?

    Rifle Scopes Help me choose

    S&B PM II 5-25, CCW, MTC, LT, Mil/Mil (Not sure if I want to pay $500.00 for a Horus reticle). or Premier Reticles (Or is it Optronika now?) 5-25, CCW, MTC, Mil/Mil, Gen 2 XR. Is there any OBJECTIVE advantage that one scope holds over the other scope?

    Rifle Scopes Couple questions: near alpha mount and internal adjustment...

    Richard wouldn't tell you the cant of his Alpha Hunter? Wow! It's not proprietary if he expects you to dish out the amount he wants for his scope mounts.

    I placed an order with <span style="font-weight: bold">Southwest Ammunition </span>about 2 weeks ago. They debited my account the same day I ordered, but when I check the status of my order it just says something like "being processed". It also says the order is too far along to edit the order...
