    Look at the red spot. How do you know the wind is blowing that far down range the same as it is where you are at? Wind varies constantly. Is it practical taking a shot that far, in that much wind? Or are these reticles mostly for show (ego massaging)? Long distance shooters / snipers...how...

    I've heard recoil can break scopes. Have you had issues with scopes on .308? Which brands give the most trouble? Which are most reliable?
  3. Firearms General Discussion
    Rifle is a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 win. I have owned the rifle for a good 8 years. It's currently wearing a Vortex Diamondback HP, Burris Extreme Tac rings, TPS rail, and a Timney match trigger. I'm getting the barrel threaded to accept a suppressor, so I figured it was a good time...

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I've been playing with different Night Vision stuff for a while and wanted to start sharing some videos and information stuff since so much of what's out there is more sales plugs and hype than anything else. Anyway here's the link to my...

    What would be your recommendation for a "sniper rifle" ? Not a 50 cal. to hit a target 2 miles away ... just an ordinary / run of the mill rifle that could be used reliably for sniping. Also, what scope / other furniture would you suggest ?

    Been thinking about this one for at least *some* NV capability. I'm not prepared to go out & slap down a whole bunch for FLIR or Gen 3 NV. Thought it might be a good start. Seen some youtube videos that pretty fairly spell out some pros & cons, but wanted some input from the group. Here is the...

    I've had this 22 for 14 years now and fun as can be. It's more accurate than I am and has always been dependable. It will jam if I forget to clean it every couple thousand rounds or so but other than that I've never had a single issue with the rifle. My question is should I scope it or not? I...

    I just bought a Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 Sniper with an original PU scope, and I would love to shoot it but I want to make sure that the age of the scope would not make it fragile or bad to shoot. It would be a shame to ruin a piece of history for a few rounds of fun. Is shooting original (and...

    I recently mounted a BSA 4x30 scope on the receiver cover scope mount on my SKS. After play time at the range I needed to remove the mount and all to clean the rifle. It doesn't keep zeroed that way. What are my best options for optics on the sks? Are there any scopes with decent enough eye...

    Hey folks, I've got an old Remington model 700 .308 that belonged to my dad. He bought it sometime in the late 70's and it was left to me when he passed. It currently has an old Tasco 3x9 on it which he mounted when he bought the rifle, the glass is actually pretty good on those older Tasco...

    Recommend a good 2.5x scope for the AR-15. I have an AR-15 that I am going to be using around the farm for wild hogs, coyotes,,, and the such. My longest shots are probably going to be around 100 - 125 yards, somewhere in that range. Price is a factor. So please no $500 scopes. Another...

    So I have an Stg-58 with the DSA railed dust cover and standard full length barrel. I would like to put a long range tactical scope on it for overwatch duties. My question is, which would you guys prefer, a fixed power front focal plane scope on high rise mounts (with a possible cheek...

I'm good with gun safety, But I have no idea how to clean a rifle (kinda embarrassing I know) a few questions. How do i clean a papoose? Are...

    So i bought a Ruger American .308 and have on the way a Bipod and a Cheek-pad ( Cheek-pad was free with the purchase of the firearm). the next goal will be to get a Scope for the Ruger American .308. I dont want to spend a god awful amount of money. So i was wondering what you all thought of...
  17. Pistol and Revolver Forum
    I had eye surgery when I was 5 years old and it messed up my depth perception and makes aiming pretty difficult, especially with pistols. So with that in mind, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should use to assist with longer range (more than 30-50 ft) pistol shots. I'm not going for...
  18. Firearms General Discussion
    I'm looking into buying and setting up a rifle for nighttime combat. Does anyone have suggestions for what kind of rifle I should choose? Bigger calibers? Smaller Calibers? I'd imagine that in a night combat situation the combat is going to be closer than daytime, but I do plan on putting a...

    Looking at ballistics I see that the .243 has much less drop than the .308, would that also mean that the .243 is more accurate? This would mostly be a rifle used to hunt white tail. I have heard that the .243 will cause more damage to edible meat due to the higher velocity, would it really...
