    Remington 700 stock opinions

    Re: Remington 700 stock opinions Your budget is your own, but in my research I was either going to have to make a lot of compromises and save a few dollars. Spend well over a thousand dollars for no compromises, or go with a chassis for cheaper with no real compromises. I went with the AICS...

    Photos The Start of My Bug Out Kit

    Re: The Start of My Bug Out Kit Agreed, one is plenty, two is a stretch but fine if they're both the same caliber and one is light-weight. And if the goal is survival, I would switch out the rifle for a Ruger 10/22 takedown with peep sights, should be a capable bunny killer out to 75 yards...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST problem?

    Re: Vortex PST problem? Got my 4-16 FFP PST out for the first time today, sitting on a 20 MOA base I have 18.3 mils of up elevation in the scope with a 100 yard zero. Specs say that there are 21 mils of travel in the tube so I couldn't be happier.

    Rifle Scopes Budget Scope

    Re: Budget Scope I would pick Vortex over Nikon any day of the week. Both are made in the Philippines I believe, but Vortex has an awesome Warranty/Customer Service reputation, so I went with them.

    Rifle Scopes How Close Is Too Close?

    Re: How Close Is Too Close? Let me clarify, I totally agree that eye relief shouldn't be compromised for the base. What I was trying to say is, with 4 inches of eye relief on that optic, I was able to set it further up by a tiny amount without gaining any blurriness around the edge of the...

    Rifle Scopes How Close Is Too Close?

    Re: How Close Is Too Close? For example, this is a profile shot of my rifle, it looks micrometers close. But if you look at it from a different angle, you see that the scope is actually in the channel of the base, and there is ample clearance all around.

    Rifle Scopes How Close Is Too Close?

    Re: How Close Is Too Close? Is the eye-relief really that critical? I just installed the same scope on my SPS Tac. last night, I found I liked it close, but could easily back it off a mm with no difference in sight picture.
