    Rifle Scopes I need some help with picking a scope.

    Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a Remington 700 .308 and the last decision I need to make is the scope. I'm leaning towards the Nightforce F1 or the ACTAR. I think the biggest reason for looking at the ACTAR is because of all of the great reviews. I'm thinking the 5-25 might be too...

    Rifle Scopes I need some direction on MILRAD vs MOA.

    I totally get it but, a simple system of .1-1.0 is going to get me started in the right direction I think which is shooting. Right now I have an old Leupold VX-III Tactical with a MILDOT reticle and MOA turrets on a SPS Tactical. Right now I'm just waiting on my A4 stock and I'm sending to...

    Thanks to everyone for helping with this easy decision! It's a done deal with going MIL. It seems super easy and I hate fractions! Thanks DFOOSKING. That video knocked out of the park! Exactly what I needed! Now to pick a reticle! I'm sure that will be simple enough...... Sent from my iPad...

    Rifle Scopes I need some direction on MILRAD vs MOA.

    Ok so I know this has been asked about 50,000 times but, I haven't found a thread that breaks it down stupid style for me. I am pretty sure that I have decided on a nightforce f1 but I can't decide what kind of reticle and turrets to go with. I am brand new it distance shooting and if I am going...

    I need some schooling on buying a stock.

    Thanks! I just ordered my McMillan A4 today. I don't mind the wait so much because it gives me a chance to pay for it. As far as bottom metal I'm gonna hold off until I have the cash for the badger or surgeon. It will be a long 6 months! Thanks for the help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok so I own a Remington 700 SPS tactical .308. This is my first bolt action rifle and I am clueless as to important considerations when purchasing a high end stock.

My expierience with La Rue Tactical has been nothing but great so it's a difference of roughly 50 bucks for the badger. All I was looking for was risks and complications associated with other...

    Mlh29 can you give me something a little more. did you notice accuracy issues? Fitting issues? durability etc? I just know in the AR world La Rue is one of the top manufactures of scope mounts. Please if you can elaborate. So I can be more comfortable with my purchase. Sorry I am being kinda...

    So I finally just bought my first remington 700 SPS tactical. I have a scope and rings from my AR-10. However I am brand new to the bolt action rifle scene. How important is buying an expensive base? I see badger ordnance bases going for $144, La Rue going for $75 and I think I have seen weavers...

    M1A or AR

    Re: M1A or AR I have the exact same problem. Except I have decided to get rid of my M1A. Mostly because I am so brain washed AR from the military. It is what I know blind folded. It shoots great. At least 1 MOA at 100 and probably better with someone that is comfortable with it. It might be...
