    Training Courses Best East Coast Precision Rifle Classes

    Im shooting some decent ammo Hornady 75 grain bthp. But you're right, I do expect to be limited to 800 yards or so. My friend got the last .308 rental rifle available. He brought 200 rounds of FGMM 168 SMKs which should 1000+ yards. I'll borrow his rifle as needed. Is it a good idea to...

    Training Courses Best East Coast Precision Rifle Classes

    I'm taking their Precision Rifle 1 class this Friday. The class filled up a month earlier. I'm only bringing a Remington 700 in .223 though :( My friend is renting a .308 there.

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor Gen II Rifle Scopes (Images, Spec, Etc)

    I actually use the Vortex MIL eyepiece on my Swarovski HD 65mm spotting scope, it fits perfectly and the reticle lines up exactly. I've confirmed the measurements with my MIL based scopes. Of course the glass isn't quite as good as the usual Swarovski eyepieces, you lose some clarity and...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 6 3x18 question

    My glass is pretty clear in each of the three I owned, minute differences. These scopes have a moderate bit of chromatic abberation, but when looking thru the center of the eyebox most of the CA goes away. However since the eyebox isn't all that big to begin with, this can be somewhat...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 6 3x18 question

    I feel there is some inconsistency with the side focus / parallax adjustment with this model scope. My Horus reticle one feels to be nearing the end of its adjustment range at just 350 yards. The two TMRs still had adjustment left at 420 yards but different amounts remaing. I'm not talking...

    15-45 or 20-60 spotting scope

    You can still spot mirage and trace pretty well above 25x. Here is a video I recorded over the weekend of a group I shot. Using .223 is more difficult to spot than .308 but it still came out okay. I agree however with the other posters that at a certain point it is no longer advantageous to...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 FFP initial thoughts

    I agree with your assessment. The older 4-16x PSTs I thought the glass was not the best especially at higher magnification but the 2-10x32 was solid and bright throughout the range. I've taken mine past 400 yards without any problems. Makes me not hesitate to give their Gen II Razors a try...

    Usda prime beef

    I bought these back in December. I know they're not Prime, but for Choice these are some of the best I've seen especially at Costco.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x40mm, 34mm Tube, w/ TMR Pics and Review..

    I was a bit shocked to see the difference in FOV in Blackops' pictures. But upon a second look, is it just me or does it seem like the magnification is different between the two scopes in the 9x and 18x shots. Look closely at the 9x pictures. Although they're cropped to the same size in the...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce vs leupold

    As someone who enjoys occasional birding I prefer high quality glass (Swaro spotter + binos) so my views on rifle scopes are similarly skewed towards image quality. Looking through my friend's $400 Millet LRS 6-24x56 makes me want to vomit. I started off with two Leupold MK4s 4.5-14x50 &...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII Ultra Short 3-20x50 info

    Isn't the new one coming out 5-20x50 ultra short? I didn't even know there was a 3-20 ultra short in the works. Maybe you have that confused with the regular length 3-20x50.

    MV vs MV with Suppressor

    Actually in Battlefield they give a legit reason for lowering MV when you use a suppressor. The game says you switch to shoot heavy grain subsonic ammo which makes sense for a few calibers like 9mm.

    Rifle Scopes Has Premier Reticles fixed their Parallax binding issue?

    I've sat out so far on this discussion but I'd like to add my thoughts as I have a horse in this race as well. I bought my first Premier scope in early 2012. It was one of the new 5-25 Heritage models with Optronika label. I has not had any issues thus far and have shot it in some...

    Rifle Scopes Minimum focal length on the Bushnell 4.5-30x50 XRS?

    Wow that is surprisingly long. The longest minimum focal distance scope I've used so far has been my NF NXS 5.5-22x56. I was shocked I couldn't focus it at a 25 yard range at lowest power. It required about 30-35y. I have Leupold MK6s that can focus at 18x at 35 yards which I run on a .22LR...

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    I have an ACOG model TA11J-G the windage stopped working all of a sudden one day. I had it on a FN SCAR 16s. I only take it to the range, no real abuse. I'm not saying one way or another. Could very well just have been bad luck. Sent it back to Trijicon, they fixed it and had it back to me...

    Rifle Scopes Possible Scope Parallax / Focus Issue

    In fact it is a leupold. The third one in fact of the same model. First two have been perfect the third is off just slightly. Also noticed the minimum focal distance is a couple meters farther. I have very good eyes so the diopter is always tested but generally stays at the lowest setting.

    Rifle Scopes Possible Scope Parallax / Focus Issue

    Anyone ever encounter an issue like this? Usually when adjusting side focus on a scope I turn the knob until the image is nice and focused and then I'll double check by moving my head around a bit to confirm there is no reticle movement on my target. On one of my scopes it seems like when...

    Bino feedback needed. Kahles vs Meo star vs swarovski slc vs ?

    I got a slightly used pair of the new version Swarovski Swarovision EL 10x32s for $1,800 off ebay and they're ridiculous. I had a pair of Valdada Hunter 10x32s I got when I purchased my last IOR. Up to that point, they were the best I've used (around $200 retail) so I cannot comment on other...

    Where do you guys find places to shoot?

    Its alright, alot of stuff is restricted but I still get to most of what I want. I live in Central Jersey but I shoot at a 300 yard range down in Jackson. Next year I move to North Carolina where the laws will be quite a bit more relaxed. But seriously though, where do you go to find a long...

    Where do you guys find places to shoot?

    I see from time to time people showing pictures of where they shoot from, mountains, deserts, open fields, etc. often times 600 yards or much longer. How do you guys find these spots? I live in NJ, have only shot at private / public ranges, and don't hunt so I'm pretty much clueless. I doubt...
