    Rifle Scopes 2k budget for PRS scope

    I saw the ZP5 listed for $1850 yesterday and considered picking it up just in case. It would have been my 3rd ZP5. Whoever bought it got a hell of a deal.

    Rifle Scopes Why most of us have MIL scopes but accuracy is expressed in MOA?

    I don't express precision in MOA, I use IPHY, for example, .60" five shot group at 100 yards. Some of the scopes in the configuration I want are only available in milliradians. Milliradians is base 10 and as LL pointed out, most of us have used base 10 math all our lives. If you want to range...

    Rifle Scopes Going from ffp to sfp for hunting

    If the reticle subtends at 16x, at 8x, the hash values are doubled. That is, .25 MOA hash on the reticle subtends to .5 MOA at 8x, etc.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus APLR clearance

    Unfortunately not available on their website. I'd snag one for a future build.

    Rifle Scopes No love for IOR Valdada?

    One definition of "rivals" (as a verb), "is superior to". I now understand you meant the 2 scopes are rivals (as a noun), or "competitors".

    Rifle Scopes No love for IOR Valdada?

    That claim is sure to sir up some controversy.

    AI AT barrel replacement

    I've got a Tooley cut Bartlein AINA .308 barrel. While I've never shot better than .4" 5 shot groups at 100 with it or any other rifle, I'm amazed at how easily it hammers .5 MOA groups out to 700 yards (the limit at my club). Lotsa good choices these days.

    Rifle Scopes Sightron finally entering the game

    Let's review. New (very useful looking) reticle. 10 mil/rev locking turrets, 34mm main tube, 56mm objective. Their SIII glass was already quite good, I'll wager this will have superb optics. AND THEN THEY STEP ON THEIR DICKS AND FORGET THE ZERO STOP. WTF. At least I can console myself by...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 5-25 v Minox 5-25 v Nightforce 7-35 v Schmidt & Bender 5-25 v Vortex 4.5-27

    I have an early production (SN52512x) MP5. The clicks were mushy and the resistance through the 2nd turn indicator was high. I was told that Minox is evolving the turret spec based on feedback. I bought another (SN52532x) and the turrets are much better. Still not super strong detents but 90%...

    Rifle Scopes Z Comp Optics, heard of them? SHOT Booth N451!

    I have to say, I'm pretty happy with my scopes, 2 Optronika/Minox 5-25s and an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29 I picked up on closeout for $1060 shipped, I don't have any need for another high power variable, but these ZCO optics are causing a stirring in my loins.

    Rifle Scopes How far off is your parallax adjustment?

    Incorrect ocular adjustment does not introduce parallax. Parallax is eliminated when the image focuses directly on the reticle plane, not in front of or behind it. Once parallax has been dialed out, if the diopter is incorrectly set, the image and the reticle will both be out of focus, as they...

    Rifle Scopes 30 moa base?

    Yes you can use a 30 MOA base with that scope. Probably even a 45 MOA base.

    Rifle Scopes What More Are You Getting For The Money

    There is no Leupold MkIV scope, fixed or variable, that is worth $1400 IMHO. For that money you could find a used ERS or similar which is twice the scope of the best MkIV Leupold offers. SWFA fixed is good low cost offering and it's never a bad thing to have a decent accurately tracking backup...

    Magpul Pro 700 Chassis

    It requires the case to be 1.5" deeper. I have to remove the bolt from my LH folding 2013 AX308 when I fold the stock and drop it in my case. I could leave the bolt in and fold the stock over it if mine were a 2014 with RH folding stock. What about this is it you don't get?

    Rifle Scopes Small issue with Vortex PST II

    I've seen reports of Razor Gen IIs with turret knobs that had a tight spot in the revolution. Every one I saw reported was fixed by loosening the set screws that fix the knob then evenly tightening them (snug first set screw, snug the 2nd, a little tighter on the first, then the 2nd, etc.). As...

    Rifle Scopes CW vs CCW turrets for right hand shooter?

    CCW is more common option across manufacturers (at least among the scopes I've used) so for familiarity across my scopes I opt for CCW if there's a choice. When S&B PMIIs started showing up for $2400-ish, Mile High charged $100 more for CCW turret scopes, suggesting to me that CW turret scopes...

    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker HD

    XRS has 50mm objective and the glass and coatings are not able to pull off 30x in less than optimal lighting conditions.
