    Custom aluminium riflestocks LARS chassis

    TacticalDillhole: Hope not, we don't need any more of those... 😒 sniper68: Thanks for the detailed reply, so if I want as lightweight build as possible, should I get the FSX II or should I wait for the ESX stock? By the way, do you work for this company, or are you affiliated with them in...

    Custom aluminium riflestocks LARS chassis

    I've been looking around for a good custom aluminum riflestock for quite a while, and besides the old/usual names I recently came accross LARS riflestocks. Haven't seen one at the range yet, but on the internet they look impressively well made with attention to detail, and since I'm considering...

    Max magnification for a spotter?

    Pester: Good option might be Nikon Fieldscope ED82 with straight body and interchangeable eyepieces (wide angle 30x for general spotting or when dealing with mirage, and 75x eyepiece when environmental conditions allow). Since the arrival of the new (and expensive) EDG model, the 'old' ED82...

    lets rate range finders by price

    John: Correct. Without getting into the ballistics/point-mass mathematics formulas and principles applied in the background (on which there are many experts here much more knowledgeable than me), if you cannot input the basic variables (twist rate and orientation, latitude, and azimuth toward...

    Coriolis Effect

    John: Yes (assuming you have everything else in your ballistics worked out). Word of advice - if you use 4000NV, after you input all atmospherical data into the software, you might want to leave Kestrel's screen on DALT (density altitude) and occasionally verify it (change in DALT will...

    Coriolis Effect

    John/MilDot1960: Sorry, I probably didn't write it out as clearly as I'd hoped - what I meant is that for my .308 with a tight right twist barrel I start to consider/include SD in calculations starting at around 400m, below 400meters I'll use the same amount of windage dope whether the wind is...

    lets rate range finders by price

    Lots of good advice given, being on a tight budget I did too take the long way around, starting years ago with Bushnell Elite 1500, then Leica 800, then Leica 1200, then Leica 1600 (went through three of those until found one that was collimated properly), then Swaro, and finally ended up with...

    Rifle Scopes Urban Legend?

    Falsecrack: That one is indeed just a myth, guys over at the FN forum actually tested if the Scar-H eats optics: Aside from kidding, one of my OA10s (German-made AR10) 'killed' 5 scopes already (both low and high-end, usually parallax adjustment went out of whack) and caused internal...

    Large calibre scope survey

    Premier 5-25x56 in LaRue LT158 mount + canted base (total of 40moa) on a .308Win (OA10) allows me to dial-in up to 1,200 meters and hold-over up to 1,500 meters (using the hashmark all the way down on the stadia line) S&B 5-25x56 in A.I. 28moa cant mount on 20moa built-in base (110 BA) on a...

    Coriolis Effect

    John: Since you resurrected this thread to life (which is fine by me, since I was also looking forward to the experienced shooters conclusions) I'll just provide my two cents: on a .308 I start to consider/include SD in calculations at around 400m onwards, over 1100m (when my bullet goes...

    Rifle Scopes What power scope for 338 to 1 mile?

    Agree with IKE, you need to find the right balance of magnification and holdover/elevation, otherwise you may end up with an unfavourable combination. I usually only shoot up to 1,500 meters, but recently shot a mile in Hungary and had to turn down the magnification to about 34x to be able...
