    Night Vision Looking for PVS-30 clip on (I think)

    I believe there's something wrong with the QD pic rail mount on my PVS-30. I have tightened the adjustment screws such that when the lever is swung closed, there's resistance in maybe the last 10 degrees of motion. I feel like it should be adjusted a little tighter, except that if I open the...

    Night Vision Looking for PVS-30 clip on (I think)

    I got my PVS-30 today. I can't find the spec for how closely its optical axis must be aligned to the day scopes optical axis. Most of the photos I see with one mounted on a rifle show there is some misalignment. How far off can it be to not "shift" the day scopes zero? Thanks.

    Night Vision Looking for PVS-30 clip on (I think)

    Thanks for your help so far guys. Since starting this thread I found the PVS30 on NVD. I also found a slew of AGM clip on thermals in the $2k to $3k range. I haven't come across any legit reviews on the AGM thermal clip on family, though. The reason I decided a PVS-30 was the better option in...

    Night Vision Looking for PVS-30 clip on (I think)

    Although I'd prefer thermal to NV, I don't think my budget ($6k) is gonna land me a decent thermal clip on. I want to be able to use one unit on multiple rifles with existing day optics, and if I'm understanding what I've read, the unit needs to be collimated in order to not affect zero of the...

    Any argument to be made for picking up a rifle in 7.62x39?

    Initially I bought a 7.62x39 upper for an AR-15 and mags from ASC with the reasoning that if SHTF and ammo became scarce, you gotta be ready to use any ammo you come across. Eventually I got an AK, built one, actually, then another, from kits sourced at armsamerica.com. Romanian MD 65s with 80%...

    Jammed AR 15

    Remove the scope if it has one. Mortar it starting light then progressively harder on a wood bench or the like with the muzzle pointed straight up and you body clear of the flight path. I've done it at least dozen times successfully especially to an AR with a Daniel Defense barrel (obviously a...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Planet SUCKS

    If you ask enough people you'll find someone who has had a bad experience with practically any retailer. I've bought from Optics Planet, Brownells, Midway, Sportsmans Guide, Amazon, Ammoland, E Arthur Brown, Midsouth Shooter Supply, Wideners, off the top of my head. Many many others. Good...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 - So Far Dissapointed

    When the diopter is properly adjusted, the side focus setting that removes all parallax error from a given target will also focus that target unless there's something wrong with the scope or the shooter's eyesight (which glasses should fix). I posted this method years ago, titled "fine tuning...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 - So Far Dissapointed

    If I understand the OP, setting the diopter was difficult because there was a wide range of diopter setting where the reticle remained in focus? What I've done in the past is, use the diopter to establish a baseline, then setup on a target at a distance (100 yards, 200 yards, whatever). Adjust...

    Soooo.. We blew one up

    There's way too much variation in case weight for this to provide an accurate picture of which rounds are under- or un-charged.

    AR15 Build Opinions

    Have you seen invoices from BCM and PSA that prove that they do not buy parts from the same manufacturer? Do you have any proof whatsoever that (for example) a FA profile BCG from BCM (currently $189) is superior in metallurgy, precision, finishing, heat treating, and/or assembly than a BCG from...

    best 6 Dasher reamer

    I'm looking for a 6 Dasher reamer to shoot 105-107 class bullets with brass made from Lapua 6 BR cases, preferably without neck turning. A friend bought a 6 Dasher reamer (from Brownells or Midway IIRC) made by PTG and there's something about the...

    Rifle Scopes Best flip scope caps?

    I have Aadland. They are very well built. I have Tenebraex. They came with my Minox ZP5s, and they work. Now I buy Vortex Defenders. No reason to spend more than $30/end since I discovered Vortex Defenders, plus you can insert a DOPE card in the eyepiece cap. Also, I can zip tie the eyepiece cap...
