    Rifle Scopes US Optics Foundation series

    My brand new, but faulty, B17 was returned to the UK retailer in August 2019. It arrived with US Optics in early October and when I chased progress on 17th December I was told there had been a delay due to issues with repair part suppliers. Estimated repair completion given as mid January. Am...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics B17 and ARD

    The objective is threaded as is the ARD, but will not mate. ARD is US Optics labelled specifically for the B17 model I have. Uk retailer unable to tell me yet why US Optics are so confident it is the scope objective thread at fault. I believe the retailer will pick up all shipping costs, etc but...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics B17 and ARD

    Purchased a B17 and US Optics B17 ARD from a UK supplier. Much reduced price due to supplier clear out. The ARD does not screw into the objective. The retailer has contacted US Optics who has said the scope will need to be returned to the US., as it is not the sunshade at fault. This process...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Ty, Many thanks for a really informative answer. I guess my problem is I can only rationalise a gen 1 extension working properly with a gen 1 chassis, even though that is clearly not the case. Also it's a point of principle for me as well. I was told this would be sorted out and it havsn't...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Ty, Do your gen 2 barrels always go back on the same rotational axis, ie the top of the barrel is always aligned with the top of the chassis? I'm waiting to get brakes timed to my barrels, so I want the barrels to be in the right rotational axis to ensure the brakes are timed properly. Also...

    Desert Tech Europe Could DT USA please give DT Europe a nudge and ask them to let me know what has happened to the gen 1 barrel extension I've been waiting for? I can't seem to get an answer from them. Ordered a gen 1 260 barrel and was given a gen 2 last year. I didn't make a fuss and was...

    Loads for .260 /.243/ 6.5x47/6.5 Creedmoor

    Let my 15 year old son zero my new PM11 on my 260 DTA. Load was 142 SMKs over 42.5gr RE-17, in Lapua brass with CCI bench rest primers. 8 shot confirmation group @ 100 metres was .620 of an inch, which included a shot he pulled. I walked away from the firing point as I was never going to...

    Rifle Scopes Assuming they are the same price, which scope?

    Thanks for all your input so far. Have to admit I'm a bit of a brand whore. Currently have a NXS on my DTA and my AW, but want that little bit more from the glass. I know optical clarity, etc is subjective but I noticed the difference between my Nightforces and the PM11/ Vortex. My eyes could...

    Rifle Scopes Assuming they are the same price, which scope?

    I have the opportunity to purchase a Schmidt PM11 5-25 or a Vortex Gen 11 4.5-27 at the same price. Both new scopes. Am drawn to the brand name associated with SB but appreciate all the excellent feedback here for the Vortex. Both will work out here in the UK for me at about $2700. Going...

    Can Gen 1 skins with the monopod option installed be modified to accept the A1 buttpad? To be clear ny current (gen 1) buttpad has the release catch built into the pad, rather than the skins. Thanks

    Giraud Annealer

    Re: Giraud Annealer I would love to have a Giraud annealer sat next to my Giraud case trimmer, but the former is restricted by ITAR as an automated loading machine! Madness.
