  1. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hello all, I have a j stevens 66b and I am looking to mount a scope. I have D&T holes on top that appear to be the same spacing as the rings pictured (larger spacing on rear holes). Was this a factory thing or a common aftermarket mount? If not do I have better options for rings? I am probably...
  2. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Just purchased my FIRST gun! Hooray! The Savage 110 Scout. Please no "why did you get that", "why didn't you get this" stuff. I spent PLENTY of time looking into price point vs gun type, etc. Anyway, I now need to fit it with a scope and have NO idea what I'm looking at. I've seen "no...
  3. Firearms Training
    I have shot predominately open sighted for most of my life, with both eyes open. Now I find myself shooting more and more through a scope, and I am really struggling with sighting. With both eyes open I find I often see double, and have a **** of a time focusing downrange through the scope than...
  4. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    I recently purchased a ruger percision chambered in 6.5 creedmoor and i am looking for a scope for it. I have never tried shooting at ranges longer than 300 yards so when a friend offered to sell me his rifle i thought why not try it. I am really out of my depth here and have no idea what to...
  5. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    I'm looking for some opinions on a rifle scope. This optic will go on a cz527 currently chambered in 223 that will be rebarreled for 6mm-222 in the future. Im looking for something that can pull predator duty to 400-500 yards, pig hunting duty at 50-125 yards, and spend most of its time on the...
  6. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    I recently purchased a Marlin 1895 45-70 and after an afternoon of shooting I decided that I don't much care for the sights on it and am looking for a decent scope to put on it. I plan on using it mainly for deer hunting and looking for something with low magnification, possibly adjustable as...
  7. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hello, I'm looking to mount a scope on my CZ 550 FS in .308. I have only mounted one scope on [I]anything[I] and that was my CZ 452 Trainer on which I mounted a BSA Sweet 22. I only rarely hunt, and that is almost exclusively varminting (nutria, coyote & fox) so this will be a paper hunting...
  8. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hello, Since I got so much help with choices for a scope for my CZ 550FS, I thought I'd try y'all's patience again. Can someone explain to me the following (in English - truly, I'm not stupid, I earned an MA in history, after all - it's things mechanical I have trouble with): MOA, Parallax...
  9. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hello, I've been shooting, in one way or another with wildly varying degrees of frequencies since I turned 7 and was given my first rifle, a pump-up bb gun. Just to brag a tiny amount, a friend of my father's took my brother and I to a match when we were 14 (me) and 13 (my bro). We competed...
  10. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    I"m just wondering if anyone has a gunsite scout in 223 preferably and what they did for a scope. Im leaning more toward the forward mounted scope but a good intermediate over the receiver wouldnt break my heart either. Thanks in advance for the input.
  11. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    I am looking for a riflescope for my father with improved light transmission over the Leupold VX2 3-9 x 40mm as he told me that he wanted a brighter scope. Based on my budget I am thinking about either the Leupold VX2 3-9 x 50mm or the Zeiss Conquest 3-9 x 40mm. Leupold’s 50mm may gather more...
  12. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hi! I’m a translator from Germany, currently working on an action/thriller novel by an American author. There’s a passage in which he describes a shooter taking aim at a long range target using a mildot reticle. Either that passage is written too weirdly or I’m just too stupid to figure it out...
  13. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hey guys, I just moved to big old Texas fem the Uk and Im pretty new to guns but very keen to start hunting! I have a Colt AR15 and need to buy a rifle scope for it. Im completely overwhelmed by the huge volume of models and makes. Someone advised me the Nikon Prostaff are decent but there are...

    Hi, this is my first post on this site, I was poking around and haven't found a direct answer to my problem/question. So i'm throwing this out to see if anybody knows... Lets start with a Story... or skip to the bottom bullets (pun intended) for the short story. Okay, so i was looking to...
  15. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    I recently bought a savage mark II just for some plinking and squirrel hunting. I bought a set of weaver mounts and a set of weaver 30mm scope rings. I'm not sure what kind if scope is good for a savage mark II, so I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations. Also, I'm opposed...
  16. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hello, I'm looking for an extremely low budget scope, but a scope that can still hold a decent zero, with the tactical look to it. I've narrowed down my two scopes to a Nikko stirling target master 4-16x44 and a millett trs-1 4-16x50. I'll be putting this on a 308, planning to shoot maybe a 3...

  18. Ex-Military Rifles & Cartridges
    I just started hand loading for my 45-70 Trapdoor Carbine. All the factory lead black powder ammo I tried produced tumbling bullets. My rifle has a good bore in specs so I knew I could create a load to produce accurate round holes in my target. After many iterations I found the Nosler 300 Gr...
