    Scope Mount for 1” Tube

    I actually already own an Aero Precision mount and looking to replace it. I don't like that the DD mount is 6061 and doesn't have any recoil lugs machined into it. At this point, I'm leaning towards one of these options. Both are about half the cost of the DD, still made in the USA, but 7075...

    Scope Mount for 1” Tube

    I do not like how the DD mounts, I found this pic of the underside of it. So I purchased the Wilson Combat mount. The machining was so poor on the scope ring screws that I could hardly get them off. I wouldn't even be able to torque them to spec because they are so tight it takes more force...

    Scope Mount for 1” Tube

    This is for an AR which is why I'm looking for a one piece mount, not rings

    Scope Mount for 1” Tube

    One piece? I looked at Seekins but did not see a one piece mount in 1", only rings

    Scope Mount for 1” Tube

    I'm looking for a one piece scope mount, not just a set of rings. The best two options I've found so far are: https://wilsoncombat.com/scope-mount-v3-ultralight-ar-platform-1.html https://danieldefense.com/daniel-defenser-1-optics-mount-double-ring.html There just seem to be far fewer options...

    Scope Mount for 1” Tube

    Why do the higher quality scope mounts only come in 30mm and 34mm? Does anyone have a recommendation on a solid mount that will fit a 1” diameter tube?

    Favorite red dot/reflex sight

    Definitely…the sight window is noticeably larger with the SRO versus the RMR.

    Favorite red dot/reflex sight

    I’m running a Trijicon SRO with the low profile Scalarworks mount on my Franchi Affinity Compact 20ga. More expensive than the options you listed but I really like it. I previously used a Trijicon RMR but I much prefer the SRO. The RMR glass had a very noticeable blue tint to it and the dot did...

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    Update to this thread - I decided to pick up the SFL 8x40's as on paper they seemed like a great balance of size and optical quality. I used them side by side with my Viper 8x42's for a few weeks, and I actually still preferred the Vipers. Optically, I did not find the SFL's to offer any better...

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    Also, just to clarify they actually refer to it as a “return handling fee” not a restocking fee. I’m assuming it’s to help cover their cost of the original shipping, which is understandable.

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    I’m new to RS so I don’t want to break any rules as I know some of these forums are strict about taking about certain retailers/vendors unless you’re a paid sponsor. If I was out of my probation period, I would just send you a PM :) I will say that it was one of the most popular online optics...

    LPVO recommendations - Simple reticle, clear glass, durable

    Do you have the SR4 reticle? I looked at the Eotech's but for my needs I thought an SFP LPVO would make more sense than FFP, which is why I had ruled them out.

    LPVO recommendations - Simple reticle, clear glass, durable

    As the title says, I'm looking for an LPVO to put on a 350 Hoosier AR. I've typically used 3-9x40 scopes, but this season I had multiple scenarios where bucks got within 15yds of me while hunting in thick brush. Since I rarely shoot over 150yds, I'm thinking a 1-6x or 1-8x LPVO will be a better...

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    I had read about this and contacted Zeiss about it. They were going to charge me for them and also I was concerned I wouldn't get them before the return period was up so that's why I decided not to take a chance on them.

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    As I mentioned, there are unfortunately no stores anywhere near me that carry a good selection of high end binocs. So I may just have to continue buying and trying until I find a pair that work for me.

    Another vote for the B3 Hawk. I've been shooting one for a couple years now and have been very pleased with it.

    Anyone have buyer’s remorse with a bow purchase ?

    I already had a Mathews Triax, but fell for the marketing a few years ago and convinced myself I needed a VXR28 when they came out. I ended up not liking the draw cycle/short valley compared to my Triax and I didn't shoot it as well either. I ended up turning around and selling it and taking a...

    FNG from the Hoosier state!

    Longtime lurker decided to finally go ahead and join in. I’ve been hunting deer and turkeys here in the Midwest for the past 30 years or so. I’ve got a son that I will be starting to introduce to the outdoors soon, hopefully he will share the same passion for hunting as I do!

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    Thanks for the feedback! Even though I prefer how compact the 8x32’s are, I don’t think I’m willing to sacrifice the ease of use so I will likely just stick with 8x42’s. I was just curious if I moved up into alpha glass range if they would perhaps be more forgiving. However, it sounds as though...

    Upgrading binocs - Help with 8x32 vs 8x42

    I hunt deer and turkey in the Midwest and have been using Vortex Viper HD 8x42’s for the past few seasons. I’m looking to upgrade and would like some feedback. The 8x zoom work fine for the areas I hunt, but I’m undecided on 42mm or 32mm. At times I’ve felt like 8x42’s are too cumbersome to...
