    Rifle Scopes Millett TRS-1 ranging formulas

    Re: Millett TRS-1 ranging formulas Steve, Is the new mill mill version supposed to ranges at 10x also? I understand the difference between the mil reticle and MOA or mil elevation but what I want to know is, is the newest versions or are all TRS scopes manufactured to range accurately (...

    Dillon verses Redding dies

    Re: Dillon verses Redding dies <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Redding bushing dies give you a lot of flexibility, just one being the removal of their standard expander ball, in lieu of an undersized pin retainer. This keeps the...

    Rifle Scopes Millett TRS-1 ranging formulas

    Re: Millett TRS-1 ranging formulas I just found a TRS manual and downloaded it. Damn, your right it does say range using 10x. I know I read a review ( actual article not a post) someplace and the guy was using 16x for ranging. Said it was a good scope for the money and he did range and...

    Rifle Scopes Millett TRS-1 ranging formulas

    Re: Millett TRS-1 ranging formulas You have got to be f--king kidding me. I have a TRS-1 I'm sending back becuse he windage shaft is bent. I never even got to mount it. Now you saying the 27.778 isn't any good. I read the scope had a indication you would be at 10x ( just checked mine...

    Dillon verses Redding dies

    Re: Dillon verses Redding dies I hope to get my 223 on the LNL as soon as it warms up some out here. That has been the idea for a while but load development has been kinda slow. I'm shooting highpower with the 223 right now and was using a VX3 for checking the loads. I would get some...

    Dillon verses Redding dies

    Re: Dillon verses Redding dies I still make my rifle loads up on my Rockchucker. I have a Hornady LNL progressive but I'm not smart enough to make up a load and stick with it. I always have to try some thing different so I'm still making small batches( a Hundred or so ) at a time. After...

    Dillon verses Redding dies

    I have a mix of Hornady and RCBS dies for my 223, 3006 and my 40 S&W. I'm getting ready to start working up some loads for 308 winchester and I'm going to need a set of 308 dies. I didn't really have a problem with the Hornady or RCBS dies in 223 until I started checking for bullet run out...

    R700? Tikka? Savage? Sako?

    Re: R700? Tikka? Savage? Sako? Savage 10fp has a 24" barrel. I bought mine because I wanted a 308, a DBM a 24 inch non fluted heavy barrel with out a flash suppressor. The 10 fp had everything I was looking for and I knew I was going to change the stock and do some of the work myself so...

    Rifle Scopes Super Sniper on AR- what mount?

    Re: Super Sniper on AR- what mount? I just put an American Defense on mine. I'm not sure how its going to work out just yet but I was looking for some thing that would push the scope forward. When I shoot highpower with a service rifle I'm used to getting up pretty far on the gun. My nose...

    Rifle Scopes leupold service activity

    Re: leupold service activity I just got the same type of letter from them. I sent a VX3 because it was sending bullets every where. My letter states they reworked the erector and inspected scope. I had to do a search to see what an erector was. Now I know. I learn something new every...

    Rifle Scopes Millett, bad out of the box

    Re: Millett, bad out of the box Thanks for the up date, I had not seen and or heard of that before. I figured it would be kinda weird to send out knobs out that numbered wrong but it is Chinese and and never know. I didn't expect this to replace a Nightforce or USO but was hoping I...

    Rifle Scopes Millett, bad out of the box

    I just got my Millett TRS-1 delivered today. Of course I had to unpack it and take a look at it right away. Now I know things can get past QC but some things never should. 1 the windage knob or shaft was bent. It was out of round so when you turned it, it would cover up the hash marks...

    Re: mil/moa to mil/mil: is it just the knobs? AXEMAN, I did want MIL MIL but Bigriver did not have any and didn't know when they would get any. Just to be a pain it the ass I called Millett/Bushnell again to see if they had any or knew where I could get one. All the customer service guy...

    Rifle Scopes Which rangefinder, Leica 1200 or Bushnell 1500 ARC

    Re: Which rangefinder, Leica 1200 or Bushnell 1500 ARC I was just getting ready to start looking for a range finder. From prior research and some reading on 6mmbr I was going to get a Leica 1200. Unfortunately I saw this thread and got side tracked again and found the Zeiss PRF Victory...

    Rifle Scopes mil/moa to mil/mil: is it just the knobs?

    Re: mil/moa to mil/mil: is it just the knobs? Not to rag Steve but AXEMAN is 100% right. the Millett literature sucks. I can see being behind on the paperwork but the web site and customer service center should be easy enough to update. And your hold times to reach some one are like 20...
