Figjam, thankyou that is good to know.

Ok thanks guys, I'll look into those scopes. Forgot to mention my buddy told me that he talked to a guy that worked with swat and that he uses millet lrs-1. Anyone have any experiences with that line of scopes?

My buddy has a 300 win. mag that he wants to hunt long range with. I told him about the leupold VX-3i LRP, Vortex pst 2 and Nightforce SHV. I do have a leupold and zeiss conquest scopes on my rifles but they're for varmint hunting. I haven't had a chance to look through the nightforce and...

I have a zeiss conquest 4.5-14X44 scope that I would like to put on a .17 remington I just had rebarreled with a lilja barrel. I am looking at burris signature or talley light weight rings and bases. Was just wondering what you guys would recommend. Would I have to lap the talley rings if I went...

moombaskier, thanks for your advice. I am looking at purchasing a EGW base and looking at the TPS and Vortex rings. Just wondering what model of TPS rings were you recommending?

I purchased a Zeiss 4.5X14 Conquest scope about a month a ago with the help of your advice. I have a remington chambered for a .280 and was wondering what you guys would recommend. Any of you use QD style of rings and if so would you recommend them?

Thanks a lot guys for your help.

Does your scope have to be set on a certain power for those of you that dial or use clicks on a target turrent type of scope, when using a scope with a SFP reticle?

Dr. Vette, Thanks a lot for your info. Just curious does the 50mm lens offer any advantages over the 44mm lens in the 4.5X14 power scope in your experience?

I have a .280 Remington that I plan to hunt with in December out to about maybe 600 yards or maybe more, with plenty of practice. I at first was looking at a Vortex 4-16x50 Viper PST w/FFP (based on recommendations of this site) but it is a little out of my price range. Now I am looking at a...

I have a few questions about the various neck sizing dies including the bushing style. I have and used the redding type s neck bushing die for my 280remington and other 30/06 type cartridges. After a few firings you need to bump that shoulder back down using the neck die followed by the body...

Do you fellas feel that I need any target/tactical turrents on my scope. For those of you that are using the specialty reticles such as the B&C, BR or BDC reticle, are you dialing up on your scope or just using the reticle. Just wanted to know the easier method of use for long range application.

I have a .280 Remington, that i plan to hunt coues whitetail with out here in Arizona. In the near future I plan to convert this rifle to a .280 ackley. The scopes i was thinking about were: -LEU55265 Leupold 4.5-14x40 VX-III 30mm LR with a B&C reticle -LEU56130 Leupold 4.5-14x40 Mark 4 LR/T...

Hey MachV, Warne does make a detachable mount for the ruger 77/22 hornet or rimfire rifles. The model # for the Warne matte finish mounts is 1R7LM. Leupold does not, but from what i understand if you purchase a set of 'ruger to weaver style bases' you should be able to fit on a pair of...

I want to purchase some quick detachable mounts for my ruger 77/17 Ackley Hornet, and for other rifles I plan to purchase in the future. Just wondering what you guys recommend between the warne and the leupold weaver style detachable mounts?
