    Rifle Scopes Zeroed for the first time - Problems

    So i am a complete noob to shooting with scopes. I had no problems zeroing the aimpoint red dot at 36 yards for the 223 then i moved to the 308 which wears an SWFA 1-6HD. I did a good job mounting the scope, used a plum bob and set the reticle level properly. So the scope is definately not...

    Expensive bubble level Unecessary

    Just wanted to let everyone know, i ended up: adjusting eye relief using a plumb bob to make it "eye" level while shouldering the rifle installing to top rings in an X fashion, checking level to my eye against the plum bob and gravity as necessary Ordered the Wheeler level-level-level, found it...

    Rifle Scopes Free Printable Targets

    Hi all! I have just mounted a scope for the first time ever in my life, feel like i did pretty good-used the plum bob and my own natural cant to get it setup for me. Now i'm looking for one of those vertical line targets that you use to test if your scope is level(shots straight up and down on...

    Rifle Scopes First time Shooter, questions about zeroing

    So I still need to know if I shoot zero with my turrets set in the middle(4 turns clockwise) or should i set them all the way to the counterclockwise position before zeroing?

    Rifle Scopes First time Shooter, questions about zeroing

    i guess i would need a bore sighting laser for each caliber rifle then. Also, i plan on making sure the reticle is level by using a string tied to a heavy object, letting it hang.

    Rifle Scopes First time Shooter, questions about zeroing

    1. SWFA SS 1-6 HD/Aimpoint H1 I have mounted the scope and red dot (on different rifles) and am ready to zero. The SWFA scope has two turrets, one on top and one on the right. Should I turn them counter clockwise as far as they can go do begin the zero process, or should i set them in the...

    Rifle Scopes USO SR8 1-8 Reddot; worth it?

    That's why I chose the swfa, it has all those qualities. How is battery life on the USO 1-8? Is it like an aimpoint? For that price i would expect some advanced battery tech.

    Rifle Scopes USO SR8 1-8 Reddot; worth it?

    There is a significant price difference b/t the two scopes, someone who practiced with an swfa 1-6 would have no disadvantage against someone who practiced with a USO in competition. I can't think of anything the USO can do the swfa cannot, other than a bit more range.

    Rifle Scopes USO SR8 1-8 Reddot; worth it?

    Do you have personal experience with an SWFA 1-6 failing? I'm not sure if this is true and i haven't tried to verify it but I read on some forum that SWFA scopes underwent military testing and performed well. Are you hammering nails with your scopes? Feeling the scope in my hand, I would...

    Rifle Scopes USO SR8 1-8 Reddot; worth it?

    You can get an SWFA 1-6 used for $8-900. I have never tried USO products but do not doubt they are one of the best producers in the market, however, they are just too high and I can't see anything it would provide that the SWFA wouldn't. It has 1x, red dot capability-with the reticle(larger...

    Both eyes open, Like a Red Dot

    I have an SWFA 1-6 HD. I am just getting into shooting and have setup the scope properly with regard to eye relief, parallax, etc. I closed my eyes, laid my head on the stock and opened them to ensure i'm looking through the middle of the scope. I did most things right i think and probably...

    Expensive bubble level Unecessary

    Will this level-level-level work with typical AR/SCAR variants or is it only for bolt rifles?

    Expensive bubble level Unecessary

    So hang the bob from the ceiling? How far away is ideal? I would think the farther the better. I will do the playing cardsw/cheap level and plum bob, like both. What about a vice? I have a typical vice but not a gun vice. I was thinking i would remove the lower reciever and stock and just...

    Expensive bubble level Unecessary

    I am a frist time scope mounter, I am not mounting on a precision bolt gun but a semi auto .308. The rifle's rail is cut out of the receiver as one piece and the mount (Bobro 30mm) is precision CNC machined so there is no need for lapping or bedding. I am installing an SWFA 1-6xHD and want...

    Superhydrophobic Nanotechnology Spray

    A new tech has been developed. Neverwet spray creates a 165 degree contact angle on surfaces it is applied to. This creates a water slide effect, repelling water off surfaces. You can spay your iPhone then submerge it, spray your towel and it won't absorb water, spray on metal to prevent...

    So are there no 1x6 or 1x8 scopes in my price range besides the cmr? I was sold on the cmr until I saw it takes cr123 batteries. Are there Any scopes that are 1x6 or 1x8 that run on AA or AAA"s?

    Rifle Scopes Scar 17 scope/Optic

    Really liking the leatherwood cmr, wonder if it can take the force from a 17S, could get another break no problem with the cost of that scope.
