why is this better???

i was acctually thinking of saving up and getting anice set of quick detachable rings.  any suggestions??

and that is a tasco 6-24x42 varmite target, with mill dot reticle.  very clear glass, and nice to shoot.  positive clicks and really good return to zero.  i love it, and at under 100.00$ at dicks sporting goods,  cant be beat. well, i know there are better, but its good glass for an affordable price.

The Larue quick release scope mount is nice...not sure if they make in for 1 inch tubes...


Or you could get the Armalite mount..

It's just reversed, the buckle that allows you to use it as a 3 point sling needs to be in front

Good looking set-up.  The more I see the 18" rifles the more I want to build one.  I already have an accurate 24" varmint and S&M MP15T with ACOG that get the job done and an old A1 uppered that is KISS.

As to rings, I used Leupold Med. height QD rings on my varmint upper (use A2 stock) and it is just right for head placement.  I have also used Warne QD rings in the past on bolt guns and they worked great too.

Off to the planning board

All that matter if you like it??


As far as Mounts , Larue is the Best!


If you are useing it for Range and hunting almost any RING or mount will Do

The 223/5.56 dont have much recoil

Ive used weaver cheap rings on my 10x a NEVER had ANY problems with loss of zero

somewhat of a range report...

i was able to go out and shoot just alittle today.  i had a couple boxes of ULTRAMAX 55 grn SP's.  these shoot around 1 MOA in my old colt hbar, 1/9.  i was shooting at 50 yards to sight in, and they were shooting great.  about a 3/4 inch group.  not bad for remanufactures, 9.00 a box ammo.  but when i shot them at 100 yards, my groups opened a litttle.  to about 6 inches...


same thing happens with remington umc 55 grn MC's.  good group at 50 yards, but 100 yards is a no go, with bullets going everywhich dirrection.

i only had a couple reloads with me, 1, 75 grn amax, which hit bullseye at 75 yards, and about 10, 60 grn v-max's, and 5, 55 grn v-maxs.  of the v-max and the 1 amax,  bullets, all shot into one tiny little group.  i like it!!!  ill be doing a lot more reloading and ill get back to ya.  

any opinions on why the 55 shot so good a 50, but sucked it up at 100???
