I'm guessing you're both under the age of 35 based on your views. The younger folks seem less aware of the capibilities and have been brainwashed in to thinking a magnum is needed for everything. :) I can tell you which gun writers started the crazy. I guess it is okay, but it is a shame the...

Interesting. I've read five test done by optics labs and Nikon came in dead last in all but on of the test. In that one test Burris score worse besause it was unable to finish the review (it broke).

Nightforce doesn't compare to Zeiss either.

Heck, even some of he $1000 Leupolds have a fixed objective set at 100 yards. You can correct the fuzzy by changing the focus. I compared the Redfields to some of the Nikons and found even the $150 Redfield smoked the Nikon Monarch for clearity, and light transmission. The eye relief is unreal...

I have not heard of any problems or of anyone having a problem with the Redfields since they were introduced. Are you having an issue and if so what is it?

I think most people mean well when they tell you another scope is as good as Leupold, I'm just not sure they really know. I read for years Nikon was just as good and while the are a pretty fair scope they really can hold a candle to Leupold. I found a few lab test that compared the quaility of...

You can buy several models from Savage chambered in 6.5x284, some noted as being sub .25MOA out of the box. :)

I knew the others. I just couldn't find the data for the 6.5 and I knew it wasn't really a 6.5. I thought I'd have some fun with it. :)

The new XMark pro comes set from the factory at 3.5 lbs and you can adjust it down with the supplied tool without removing anything. The tool is just a shot allen rench with a handle that fis in the rigger guard. I believe the 40X is the trigger tha is put on Remington target rifles. The new...

That's 6.8 mm. :) I wondered but I couldn't find and info on it. I figured it must be a 260 with the bullet weights being used.

The .25-06 Remington had been a wildcat cartridge for half a century before being standardized by Remington in 1969. It is based on the .30-06 Springfield cartridge necked-down (case opening made narrower) to .257 inch caliber with no other changes. Nominal bullet diameter is 0.257 in (6.53 mm)...

BTW Burris flunked many of the test and in the end couldn't even be rated.

I wanted to find the answer to this and Ziess vs Leupold. Every person that answers has a different point of view and every forum you visit has a different answer for some reason. Here is what I found. There are labs that test optics for clarity, repeatability, etc.. They use equipment and in...

Sweet gun and great shooting. What twist you running in that 243?

Looking for a new scope for the Remington 700 VTR in 233. Which is best, the Nikon Pro Staff of Burris Fullfield line?
