    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    this duplex reticle is absolutely wonderful in that it stays so black and crisp. I like the reticle on this better than my 2 vx3 scopes.

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    I took the 3-16x42 out across the road to where I hunt to a soybean field and the sky was dark with clouds and threatening a thunderstorm. there where 5 deer in the beans including a decent buck in velvet, thin antlers though. I got to looking around with the scope and there was something I'm...

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    those are some beautiful rings, fit and finish etc. great instructions on the scope mounting, will be sure to do it that way. well Doug sent the scope tuesday and it came today and am sitting here looking at it. this is the s-tac 3-16x42 duplex reticle, and took it out on the deck and looked...

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    Gm, thanks again for all your great info! the tps lows I ordered are .925 but I have the need for the height because my face is longish and it just feels right to be there. the rings on the gun now are right at 1.0" thanks for the info on installing the tps rings also.

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    ok, just ordered the tps brand TSR custom low rings at .920 to center of scope on their site, almost 65 bucks with shipping. they look narrow, front to back but they are TPS rings in 7075 aluminum. thats a good deal on 30mm rings I think. they were over runs for a custom manufacturers large order.

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    I generally go with 10 power on the fields I hunt and even target work with hunting load workup.

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    gm54 thanks for all the great info, I wont be going above 12 power hardly ever, I know about the lower tier scopes not being able to use their upper limits. heck I have a weaver classic 4-16x42 that cant do that either and its a japanese made scope. just something to play with and possibly hunt...

    Scope deals i will update as i find them

    If the 10x42 swfa scope had capped turrets and a duplex retical that could be seen in low light I would have jumped on it a long time ago for hunting. these deer around here tend to come out pretty late.

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    yeah I realize the 3-16x42 is no lightweight but if I fall on it and it gets destoyed Im not out too much. looking at rings for it now on midways site. ya know when I shoot my rifle even hunting I dont hold the forearm at all , just the back of the gun and so the weight of this scope will...

    Sightron STAC vs SWFA SS 10x

    thanks for the heads up GM54-120, yesterday I ordered the 3-16x42 s-tac with duplex to keep around here. don't know yet what it will go on as I just put a 600 dollar vx3hd 2-5-10x50 on my deer rifle. It will give me something to compare it to on 10 power. I hunt deer on fields around here and...

    Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor

    after cutting a turn off the spring I can get this trigger down to 2 lbs no problem, but with my fingers being so very weak from nerve damage I'm thinking the timney may be a step up in my case. I just never really cared for the accu trigger type feel, even though this one does great, I think a...

    Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor

    It seems timney makes a single stage trigger for the ruger american and can be adjusted from 1.5-4 pounds, that would be good for hunting purposes.

    Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor

    I bought the 3/32 punches off ebay and recieved them already, will definitely get a timney for this gun. the stock trigger is decent though especially after I cut a coil off the trigger return spring.

    Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor

    bstorric, I do really like the looks of your gun. where did you get the cheek piece? looks like it needs two holes drilled to attach, am I right? thanks for the pic, I may even get a timney trigger for this this gun.

    Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor

    I got the aics magazine model but I think I like the flush magazine model a little better, have shot both. My predator model had better finish on the bolt body, as it was polished, the compact 243 model wasn't as smooth a finish on the bolt, but hey that thing would shoot 1/2" at 100 yds with...

    Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor

    I bought one of these rifles with the 22" barrel after setting up a compact model in 243 for my wifes niece and that gun really shot great. bought the 6.5 CM because I already had the dies and bullets and powder etc. and it really shoots awsome. the bolt doesnt lock in place on a chambered round...
