Flanker posted:Is this a members only or public range? I sympathize with public ranges not wanting Joe public mouthbreather to do 30 round magdumps into their berms, target stands, furniture and vehicles. It is a public range, although most of the people that go there are members of the SSAA (Sporting Shooters Association of Australia, one of the ways to get a gun licence is to be in a club). The restrictions are a combination of the shooting and hunting ONLY mindset, being run by old men most of which are good blokes but are largely benchrest shooters, the range being quite large (It is the primary shooting complex for Brisbane, I think) and finally Laws although almost every silly rule is blamed on non-existent laws.

Does anyone here own a Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20mm MR/T M2? I'm thinking about picking one up used to put on my 18"'AR. Good idea?

The glass is clear and there is practically no optical distortion around the edges. The only complaint I have is that the 20mm objective means that the exit pupil can be a little tight at higher magnifications.

If I want optics for my 10/22 to shoot 100 yards, is a red dot good enough? What the cheapest I can go without buying poo poo? Should I look at low magnification scope?

what do you want to shoot at 100 yards?

Target shooting. As accurate as possible within cost constraints.

If you want accurate then you're gonna want a magnified optic

TotallyGreen posted:Target shooting. As accurate as possible within cost constraints. A mueller apv is heavy put good for the price and the magnification means that you will be able to spot yourself when shooting .22lr out to 100yds. Just don't use black targets as you can't see the holes but I have no issues with seeing the holes through the scope on orange, blue, red coloured targets. Order from dan at mizzoumule.

I remember seeing some enormous Remington 22 bolt action (Rangemaster?) with a seriously light trigger and some huge tube were a scope would be except there wasn't any glass and it was adjusted by these bigass screw/knob things holding it in place. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or am I just talking crazy again

Some old-old-school scopes were adjusted by the rings/mounts, yes.

Pros: wide field of view, simple reticule that offers basic range finding. Easy to zero. Robust, tritium post. Cons: heavy, hard to get a clean sight picture, loses zero at the slightest dings and knocks, no back up irons. Obsolete. In the early 90's the Elcan was the bee knees. These days, poo poo like a basic ACOG just totally blows it out of the water in every regard.

The M145s dont really have zero loss issues and I don't remember his Elcan giving him any trouble when he was using it. I will grant the mount based adjustment system isn't exactly cutting edge anymore and the fucker is heavy. (Someone find me a cheap non-fallen off an army truck M145 so I can stick it on my FAL. Pleaaaase)

Have any of you anything to say about this scope: Nightforce 8-32 x 56 NXS I am looking for something nice to put on the .50 bmg I have ordered. I have a temporary bushnell elite 4200 mildot thing to play around with until I can rob enough old grandmothers to afford nice glass and this nightforce seems to be awesome according to the hype. Also recommended by everyone I know who uses .50 BMG here in Sweden (= one old military sniper guy who sells them for a living now). I like that zero stop feature since I have something similar on the bushnell.

It's now between the 1-4x24 nightforce, the 1-8x24 Schmidt und bender short dot and maybe a leupold 1-6x24 vx6 with custom shop reticle and turrets. Actually leaning towards the leupold.

Atm I am looking for something ~20x but with FFP mrad reticle and mrad turrets. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product...-1-mrad-reticle This seems like a nice alternative that will not make me poor.

So I put in an order for that vortex glass when I found this fat bastard It is conveniently made in Romania but I am having a hard time finding any European reseller for this glass.  Has anyone ever heard of ior valdada?

I'm not really into the whole long-range shooting, but Valdada is incredibly good optics.

SirDrinksAlot posted:I'm not really into the whole long-range shooting, but Valdada is incredibly good optics. This is what I hear as well. I was thinking about upgrading from a vortex someday when I have too much money. I will have a serious look at valdada then. I found a store in Denmark that had good prices on them, so I know where to get it at least.
