scope

Just looking for some advice... So much to choose from with many new models coming out... I really don't need a thermal that will let me shoot a Coyote at 500 yards, rather my criteria would be; 1. Identify and shoot rabbits out to 100 yards. 2. Identify and shoot coyotes out to 200 yards. 3...

Hi guys. I know there are lots of similar threads and I've read many of them. But spending other people's money is fun, right? I'm looking for a scope to put on my .284 Win Tikka for an elk hunting trip to Colorado this coming season: It will be my first western hunting trip, but I've been deer...

I have been trying to find the "perfect" scope for my Tikka 260Rem which will be used for hunting deer sized game from point blank out to 500 yds. The only thing that I've found that checks all the boxes thus far is the VX-5HD with HTMR reticle or the Razor LHT. My first hand experience with the...

Tell me whether you use MOA or MRAD and why.

Looking for a hunting scope for my Bergara Highlander. I am fine either SFP or FFP, both seem to have their benefits. I am looking at the Nightforce NX8 4-32x50. Does anyone have any experience with this scope? How does the reticle look at 4x for a FFP? Shots in Colorado can be close and want to...

I'm planning on getting a new scope for backcountry hunting, as I'm going on my first Elk hunt this October. Currently I use a 2.5X10 scope with a BDC reticle and I am looking for something with a little more magnification and would like to try a first focal plane scope for more precise shots...

I'm a great believer in high-tech for medical care, but allow me to be simplistic here. I just bought a Kimber SubAlpine in 280AI for a mountain hunt. I want great light-gathering and optical resolution, dependability, in a light weight scope (under 20 oz.?). Something in the 2.5-10x, or 3-12x...

Hello folks, I am looking for some advice with a scope for long range target shooting. I am starting to get into long range shooting and I am looking at getting a decent scope for it. I currently have a Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44 with the fire dot duplex reticle. It came with the rifle I am...

I picked up a 6.5 Grendel from a friend and need recommendations on a scope for for it looking at something less than 10 power. It will be used to complement my 26" 22-250 Ackley rifle for coyote hunting this will be more of a dedicated woods/truck rifle.

Everyone has their tips and tricks for when they put together a rifle. Some common ones are "push the rings forward before you tighten them to the bases" and "use blue loctite on everything scope related" or the less common "lap your rings to your rail" and "torque then loosen then retorque your...

I purchased a Nightforce NX8 for my 280 Ai and even with the adjustment completely bottomed out I am still 7 inches high at 100 yards. The rifle action has a pinned 20moa rail so switching to a 0 MOA rail is not an option. I am going to put it on another rifle and will be purchasing another...

picking a lightweight scope for 28 nosler. Leupold says VX6HD 3-18x44 has 75 MOA of adjustment. how much of that would be up and how much down with the 2 revolutions the CDS ZL2 turrets? also, if anyone has experience with these; the old specs said they were 19 ounces, now it shows 21.3...

In case anyone is interested; made a google doc spreadsheet to compare the scope options based on their weight (Im trying to decide on the lightest/best glass/most light/most power scope for a lightweight longish range deer/elk rifle). Let me know if I am missing any decent glass that is light...

I looked for an existing conversation on this and couldn’t find a good one. Some didn’t have the right answer for me so here we are. I have a Savage 110 with some thread issues in the scope base holes. My nearest gunsmith is over 150 miles away, so help on this matter will be surely...

Hi. Long time reader, first time poster. I have a Remington 700 in 300 RUM, Talley 30 mm alloy rings, and the new Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 scope. I just removed my 4-16x44 HS-T (which had no problems, just moving to a different rifle), and while laser bore-sighting, the cross hairs are 3"...

Looking at putting together a new factory light carry hunting rifle and I'm looking for options on a decent ffp scope for a budget minded build. Things I'm looking for is a max magnification of 16-24 decent glass as so I dont have to worry about not having picture in almost direct sunlight, so...
