    AR15 for training and hunting

    Thought about getting Ruger SFAR since it’s an AR15 sized 308, but then ammo’s expensive again and I’m having to swap optics from gun to gun and re-zeroing. I have a 6.5 and 308 bolt gun for longer range stuff. Think ing about a mid powered optic with offset red dot on this build. Maybe an...

    AR15 for training and hunting

    Hey no fair, that’s 163 pages! That post was one I read some of and got me interested. Read a lot of the match bullets for hunting post too. If I remember correctly I think someone said up to 300yds, which would be perfect, but just wanting to clarify.

    AR15 for training and hunting

    Hello, New member here and glad I found this place. Lots and of great info and has really opened my eyes to some myths I used to buy into. I’ve always wanted to use my AR for hunting but have never felt comfortable with it due to belief that it wasn’t an ethical round for medium game at more...

    Exit Pupil and Scope Eyebox question

    Does exit pupil tell me how finicky a scope’s eyebox is? I have very little experience with scopes. Currently have a Nikon Monarch 3-12x42. This scope has an extremely forgiving eyebox. Looked it up and the exit pupil is pretty on the higher end, 3.5-14mm. I see some scopes that are similar in...

    Acceptable Accuracy for Hunting Rifle?

    Your rifles fine, only practice will tell you when you’re ready. Shooting out of that blind will be different than shooting off a bench. Never been in a blind that had a great rest. Always some janky scrapped together piece of junk that makes a ton of noise as soon as you need to make a shot...

    Lightest reliable pic rings?

    Food for thought. Running a scope as low as possible is not the golden rule it used to be. Not saying you’re trying to do that, just bringing up this info that I’ve found while figuring out my own setup. If you use a ballistic calculator and try out some different heights over bore you’ll see...

    Scope Field Eval Explanation and Standards

    Does the SWFA 5-20 HD have the same record of reliability as other SWFA’s? The deal they’re running right now has me tempted since they used to go for more than that used.

    Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42

    Very slightly off topic but has anyone compared the 42 and 56mm objectives? I know the 56 will last a little longer as the light dims, but also curious to know if the eyebox and clarity at max mag are noticeably improved? Significant weight penalty with the 56 though.

    Finding a deal on a new scope

    Thanks! Been eyeing all of these places. I keep seeing people post about getting a scope for “insert really good deal here” on various forums, and what not, so was just curious how often these things come along or if it’s just random. Don’t want to wait months, but dang, could get lasik surgery...

    Finding a deal on a new scope

    Hello, New user here so good to e-meet you all! I made the mistake of buying a new rifle, which led to needing a new scope, which led me here. Which was great because now I know exactly what I need/want. Which led to another problem. I can’t convince myself to drop the $1500 on the scope I...
