Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I bought a BTR-2 in FFP in their first release. Couldn't be more pleased, especially considering the price point compaired to other scopes out there in the same magnification class. Optical quality is great. I use ofset mount irons for 0-20 yards, 1x through the tube for 0-80 or so, and magnify past that. As mentioned previously, head position is important with any scope. Dry fire practice and forcing yourself into getting in and out of unconventional position (such as practicing with a barricade prop for low squat and lower, or rifle in canted position) makes good habits. My personal experience is that many, but not all shooters, who have issues with appearant tube diameter/exit pupil/head alignment, don't really practice enough. If they do, they practice in conventional and comfortable positions. Do the homework, meaning live fire and dry practice outside of prone and the bench, and this scope is appropriate for any level shooter. Stand your ground. divelong
  2. Just spoke to Kevin at MGM and got an update. I've measured the adjustment ring diameter on the new Bushnell 1-6.5x at 1.672". As yet, they've not had enough demand to warrant making a Switchview for this scope. They have an existing product for the Bushnell 4200 series that is 1.655" (as referenced above, it is in fact the model SVMAPT). This is the closest thing they have to a fit for the 1-6.5, and will require some lapping to open it up. I just ordered one and will post an update when it's been tweaked to fit. Also, the next generation of the Switchviews will have a shorter throw lever. For anyone interested, the scope is a winner. divelong
  3. Good to hear. Any idea how far out it may be?
  4. Does anyone know of a magnification throw-lever that will fit the new Bushnell 1-6.5's? I have no frame of reference or dimensions on the other Bushnell models. Thanks.
  5. Thanks. You confirmed what I thought. What is your setup for laser on rifle?

  6. I say yes. I use lasers on my carry guns, both pistol and rifle. While you may not see too much with the rifle, for close in work, I find it can make you faster and more confident on calling your shots.

  7. Has anyone found that this doesn't carry enough?
  8. They were parallel with the barrel. He said that it was too difficult to remove them at this point so it was back to the drawing board to work out the bugs too. How about something elastic that is more like 45 to the barrel?
  9. Thinking about switching from 62gr to 69gr for my club matches that run targets to 300yds. Any thoughts?
  10. Been there, done that. I try to top off as soon as I've walked my targets and before I tape/RO.
  11. I'm a crappy sleep to begin with, but I get into periods of sleep deprivation at work. When it happens and I'm feeling weak, I find that smaller amounts of caffeine will have the same affect as greater doses when I'm well rested. Also, hydration is critical. I find staying topped off on water allows me to recover faster from a period of deprivasion.
  12. I recommend the Hogue. I've tried the pistol grip and prefer a traditional stock. I find I'm faster back on target splits. Semper Fi
  13. Me too. Mechanix work glove on the off hand.
  14. I couldn't agree more. Shoot the snot out of it as is, then consider upgrades.
  15. Agreed. I installed a couple of Vanek's, then experimented with several other drop in's & combinations. I've come back to using only Charlie's as they're simple to install, consistant, and his support is great.
