If anyone is still interested, I guess a family member was paying attention to me this year as I actually got something I wanted:). My brother got me the mil-dot version, tho I didn't care which I got. Took it out last week using some first run reloads I was itching to try out, they were...

sah-weeet! seriously, very well done.

Thanks for the support guys. I'll be working on it as I can over the rest of the month, was going to be putting it on a precision grinder with a 2 or 3 degree angle on the blade part leading towards the cutting edge, but I ran out of time to do it that way as the shop is now closed for the...

those are real nice, very well designed. just got one myself from a gun show dealer, fixed blade tho. not sure what I'll do with mine, but it sure looks nice. All I know is that since it is made from at least 90 folds of the alloys, don't use it to throw or pry, the layers can actually flake off.

wow, very nice! I hope mine ends up that good looking. As for inspiration, no particular design influenced me most. I had been hitting the web looking at as many designs as I could find, my dad said he wanted a bowie style knife for xmas. With that input from him and all the designs I...

Hey folks, so I'm learning machining at my community college and after my last project approached the teacher about making my own fixed blade knife out of something better then is available for sale at a reasonable price. Like say something better then stainless steel. He was all for it and...

nevermind, just took the POS out, could barely see the target at 100yds. Very blurry in the cold weather. DO NOT BUY THIS SCOPE. I'm giving this one back to my buddy tomorrow. Good riddance!

First off, yes I've heard how bad these are. But a friend of mine knows I'm saving up for a decent scope and just gave it to me today after he upgraded to a Leupold. Even gave me some rings! Anyway, I found the exact model on this site: NcSTAR Mark III Series Scope - 1.5-6x40 Since it was...

thanks rikman, it helps a lot to finally see what this thing looks like installed on a rifle. I was having a hard time trying to picture how much real estate it would have been taking up. I finally found a review of this scope , http://www.gunblast.com/Leupold-AR.htm. After reading how...

the rings i'll get somewhere else for sure, the attachments I was referring to were the flip-up covers for the lens and the Mark 4 Anti-Reflection Device which they say is threaded on the Leupold site to fit their scope. I'm gonna have to email them and ask if it accepts un-threaded accessories...

rikman, please do let me know what you think when you get a chance. i'm in no immediate rush to get a scope, but it'll be my first purchase after the x-mas shopping b.s. thanks in advance for that review once you get it up and attached.

Thanks, checked it out, looks pretty decent, tried to look up web reviews of that model. seems decent for the price. atblis, have you tried this particular Nitrex scope? is it worth the purchase? and i may be blind but i can't see dimensions for the length of that scope. and yes, it's for a...

Have my sights on a Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40mm T2 <linked here> for my 5.56 M4. Any thoughts or anyone who's used it? I found it for $299 on amazon. The only downside I see is that all the accessories look over priced.
