Need opinion on nightmares scope.

[22 skadoo]

I never owned a nf scope before and was wondering what other shooters thought about them.

 

[Rolltide]

I've used several of them from the SHV's to the NXS on AR's, varmint rifles and such. Never had a problem with them, but I don't flog on'em nearly as much as some here get to do.

I dig the shit out of the 12-42 Benchrest and the 15-55 Competition. The Benchrest is heavy, but the Competition is pretty much the standard in rimfire benchrest.

I run them a lot
if configured correctly, you wont be disappointed

Thank you for the info.I been looking at the 4x16 F1,It looks about perfect for a short barrel varmint rifle.

 

[Big Stick]

It won't even cough up 3MOA per ounce................

 

[gbp]

I would not go with an F1 on it,,but that's just my $0.02 worth. I'm not a fan of front focal
2.5-10x42 will give you 100 MOA on the dial and 30 on the reticle in MOAR

 

[Big Stick]

Fixed Fucker will toss you 140+ on the erector and 40 more MOA on the reticle.

Tough to toss that by the wayside..............

 

[gbp]

that is true

 

[Big Stick]

Seen it...and am headed out here directly,to do more of it.

KILLER Anschutzesesesen Weather.....................

I'll be following up shortly. It's coyote and Mt. Lion time. Been loosing too many cattle lately to both.
Just finished putting the finishing touches on my latest 223 AI from Karl





sorry for the cell pics and photobucket but image shack hasn't come up with an ap yet

'Bout like a stretched version of my Kreedmire. Chopped 'er to 21" and dig it. Less than 34.5 mils to the 2000yd line with a 225yd zero ala 147's. Over 41 Mils are ripe for the pickin'.



It ain't very "fair",but sure as fuck is alotta fun................(grin)

 

[gbp]

The 223ai brl is actually 20 1/2" from bolt face to end. it's all that other crap that makes it look long

 

[Big Stick]

Had a feel for barrel length,which is why I stated same. Also the stock pattern and glass magnification.(grin)

Adding over halfa foota can,do change things and I prolly didn't even notice that..............(grin)

 

[22 skadoo]

That Hunter stock looks sweet,whats the opinion on it.

 

[22 skadoo]

Is the glass on the swfa HD that much better then the classic.On my 1x4 swfa it is pretty good.

 

[Brett]

I had a 10x HD and sold it to get two 10x Classics, and haven't regretted it.

The HD has a narrower FOV and the parallax adjustment on mine was incredibly stiff. I did like the turrets better but functionally they're the same. I can't remember a great, if any, difference in glass clarity either.

In my opinion it's not worth the extra $$$.

 

[gbp]

I have never compared the hd to the other so I can't say if there is any difference or not. the hunter stock is great

 

[Big Stick]

The Hunter is a nice pattern,that is very soft shooting.

If the Fixed Fuckers were $800 a pop...they'd still be a STEAL.

Rear parallax for me................

 

[Brazo]

That Hunter stock looks sweet,whats the opinion on it.

It's very good. My favorite in fact.

Edited to add: I use the Mcmillan Hunter version that takes the smaller barrel contours up to a #3 Hart looks good in it in my opinion. The larger Remington hunter will take a varmint and up barrel contour and is probably great too.

 

[Big Stick]

I shoot both................
