How may of you are running no BUIS and 'medium' height rings on a MOD 1? I think the 'high' height rings look too high without a BUIS underneath.
Or do you find that the 'high' rings give you the proper eye height no matter what? |

Yeah, I'm excited about the NF, but I don't know how to really maximize its use, if you know what I'm saying. Wish I knew more about mil-dot and how to use. Yeah, I've read and watched videos on them, but still can't get it down. Last time at the range, I came across a former Devil Dog who knew what he was doing. We exchanged info and he said he'd teach me a few things about the scope and rifle as he had some experience with them. My shooting skills are like my golf game - have all the right equipment and look good doing it, but can't play or shoot worth a shit. Gotta keep practicing, I guess. |

I know that we say the .308 168grn leupold caps are similar to the MK262 load caps for the MK12 scopes, but what about M118 7.62 caps? Is the M118 close to the .308 168grn at all?

I'm having troubles deciding on an optic for my Mod H project. My default plan is to go with a 3.5-10 MK4 like I've seen on ones in use or even a non-illuminated 2.5-8 MK4 (because they're cheaper). OTOH hand I've been eyeing a Nightforce 2.5-10 (in either the x24 or x32 type) since I was under the impression they are a better scope. I'm stuck between buying something more clone-correct and admittedly cheaper or spending a bit extra and having a better product. I'm leaning towards a clone-correct MK4 since my clone builds are typically more for having fun with at the range and I'm still a bit annoyed my Mod1 has an incorrect scope and mount, so I don't want to have a repeat of that. What would you guys do?

I sold a NF 2.5-10x24mm for a mk4 2.5-8 because the 2.5-8 was way better for low light shooting. And that's when I should most of the time

The 3.5-10 is more forgiving about that stuff? I've only used the 2.5-8 and looking at the two scopes on paper I wasn't sure the 3.5-10 was worth the extra money. I'd certainly like to give one a shot though. I think I'll try and convince myself to go with one. |

Yeah, pretty sure those are mediums, and that's also the 3.5-10 right? Looks like a Mod 0 scope & rings that just got taken off and put on a Mod 1.

Aside from the pri rail I'd have to say there's no mk12 about that rifle. Not a bad looking spr but far from an mk12.
Looking for an a1 stock and a couple a1 grips if anyone has a lead or a spare. Thanks guys |
