    Rifle Scopes Scope for a SCAR 17s

    I have a SCAR 17s that currently wears an Eotech EXPS 3-0 with a G33 3x magnifier that works well for heavy metal division in 3 gun. I am looking into getting another scope for some long range fun with it. I am looking for a 20" barrel assembly for it so I can shoot out to 1000 better than...

    1903 Springfield purchase

    I am looking for a 1903 Springfield rifle just to add to the collection and for nostalgia factor being the WW1 rifle for the US. I want one that I can shoot and not a safe queen. I am aware of the recever metallurgy issue below serial number 800,000. Besides having a reciver, bore, and crown...

    First ladder test for AI AX308MC

    All ladders were run at 300y firing one shot per charge while recording the velocities with a crono about 10' downrange. All shots were fired ~2min apart checking for pressure signs along the way. This is IMR 4064, the wind was gusting to 13mph. I am thinking 46.0 which gave me 2807fps...

    POI shift in AX308MC .308 vs .260

    First time firing the .260 barrel and there was a .8mil shift down (more or less what I was expecting) and a 1.2mil shift right (not what I was expecting) from the .308 barrel at a 100yd zero. Is this much horizontal shift common? Is the cause barrel run out? What are your thoughts?

    .300 Blackout on SCAR 16s

    Does anyone know how one might get a SCAR 16s barrel assembly for a .300 blackout? I think that would be an awesome combo. The only thing I don't like about the SCAR system is the aftermarket parts availability is not nearly as big as the AR system. One day... :)

    Rifle Scopes Scope over bore question

    I just got a Nightforce BEAST for my new AX 308 with a 20 MOA base and there is a small difference in the measurement of the scope centerline and the bore centerline depending on where you measure it. I know it is not enough to make any appreciable difference in the drop tables, and this is...

    Leica 1600-B first hand accounts?

    I am reconsidering my original idea of a rangefinder and binocular combo and am looking at the Leica 1600-B. Does anyone on the Hide have a first hand account with this rangefinder? I am not concerned with the ballistic compensation features because I am looking at the Kesterel 4500 with...

    Rangefinder and Binocular combo, any ideas?

    I am looking into getting a rangefinder and binocular combo and would like some suggestions. My requirements are reliable ranges out to 1 mile max for target shooting a .260 in Colorado altitude. The majority of the shooting will be target shooting and competition within 1000y. I have held the...

    Rifle Scopes What to do while waiting for a BEAST?

    I finally got word that my 2014 AI AX 308 is ready to pick up at Mile High. My BEAST with a Mil-R reticle is still in the wild for who knows how long. I am looking into getting a scope as a place holder for the BEAST so I can get some use out of my rifle in the meantime. I am interested in...

    I have read the difference online but I am curious if there is any real world difference in the resolution, ruggedness, reliability, etc. The device I am looking for is a clip on in front of a daytime optic for recreational use and an ocational night competition. Please forgive my ignorance on...

    I have read that the 6.5 Creedmore has better barrel life than the .260 If this is true, can anyone please tell me how much and why this is. Is it the sharper shoulder angle, preasure levels, voodo black magic?:confused: I am going to eventually get a 2nd barrel for either the 6.5 Creedmore...

    Hornady LNL bushings with Lee press?

    I started reloading with a single stage Lee press; then got a Hornady LNL progressive. Most of my reloading is pistol competition and 3-gun rifle which the Hornady has served me very well. I am now getting more into precision rifle shooting and I realized an issue. I want to be able to use...

    I am on the list for an AX308MC and a Nightforce BEAST from Mile High Shooting. The rifle might arrive long before the scope does. I am looking for some suggestions for a scope that is still “decent” for use on the rifle while I am waiting for the BEAST. I am looking for a mil/mil and $1500...

    I have a SCAR 16s and 17s and was wondering if anyone knows where to get some alternate length barrels and/or upper receiver assemblies to the standard 16"? I would love a 20" heavy barrel for the 17s and some SBR barrels for both.

    Rifle Scopes Holdover vs Dialing elevation and windage in competition and target shooting

    I was wondering what method works better for most situations. I understand some competitions have tougher time constraints than others and there might not be a "BEST" option. What are your thoughts based on your experience? Which method will help me decide on a reticle. I reserved an AX308MC...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce BEAST vs Leupold Mark 8

    I am looking for an optic to go on an AX308MC and these two scopes are on the short list. The Mark 8 has 3.5 on the low end and the BEAST has 5; how much of a real world difference is that? The Beast has the H-59 vs the H-58 on the Mark 8, so that is a plus for me. How does the Illumination...
