This will be my range scope to go with a Minox 1.5-8x hunting optic. M14 and a cz 452 in 22LR with picatinny rail are gonna be sharing this thing- any other good options in this price range? looking for something with some decent magnification as I already am well covered on the low end with...

thanks folks, thanks grumpy! I need to find a modern hornady manual. Cant seem to find them around here. You have me worried posting the 155gr A-max....Thatll suck if I get the manual and they dont have data for the hornady brand 150 gr fmjbt of which I have 500. As a newb I like to follow...

About to cook up my first batch ever for the m14. (norinco 18.5") I hear the 4895's are good but I have a 4 lb of IMR-4064 and I want to finish that before I buy more. Hodgdon's 4th edition has a load that Im thinking about- Ill start off loading 100 rounds of this and when my rifle...

Im taking the rear sight off for clearance and putting a pair of EGW aluminum rings on. Seems wrong to remove the sights from a battle rifle.

Yeah I havent had a great time looking for 1" picatinny rings that are light. Maybe Ill just get weavers then thanks helotaxi. now...which ones...

sorry helotaxi I meant 1". Im new at this

What are the merits of each? I am currently rocking a 14" fabarm as it is the perfect wilderness defense weapon in my mind for yogi( with the right slugs-brenneke) Quick to point, quicker follow up shots, light and easy to carry. What am I giving up with this 14" barrel is the question...

So Im trying to mount a 1" scope on a picatinny rail. The minimum distance between the rail and the bottom of the scope is o.305". Can anyone suggest a lightweight ring that can handle a bit of recoil from an m14 Jordon

thanks boys. I resist the milpitary scope thing- mainly for weight. Its an m14 with an 18" barrel so I dont expect it to reach out to 1,000 though I do plan on accurizing it over time/reloading so I do expect it to be capable of reaching out. So talley lightweights are the best option then...

The rings I want to use with this scope are the nightforce ultralite. Mainly because they're light, second theyre supposed to be strong. I hear there are reducers available to fit a 1" scope in 30mm rings- are these a good option? Also- do they add weight? Wonder if Im better off just getting...

heheh well good for you guys that have ghost rings...but you fail at reading comprehension :) Yeah Im wondering about the bead because Im shooting slugs- not shot. Its essentially a rifle this thing. Can I put rounds on a moving target(bears head) with just a bead is the question...not sure if...

This is my bear/zombie paranoia gun- a fabarm 14" barrel(Yup- Canadian) Im looking for the best sights for close up quick shots- not sure if that would be a bead because I have trouble snap shooting things at 30 ish yards and even closer with a bead. I just have trouble aiming at all with it-...

thanks mate Ill look into that. Im shocked at how ignored the lowly 2-7 is!

Im fixing to put one of these on my m1a zombie/deer rifle. Close enough for the zombies and enough range for deer- should be great as I'm into practicing offhand and wont be doing much long range stuff. Im a scope newb so no clue here...opinions welcome!

ill definitely look at leupold. They have the ultralight models....
