PTR91 Scope

Recommended Posts

Same dilemma here. I tried two different Z-24s and sent them both back because they were in awful shape; I was looking two years ago - no idea what they're going for now. 

 

I did like the Leupold VX-R (#4) 1-4x20, but then my permits came in, so it got put on hold. But I think that or a Leupold 2-7 would be nice. Right now, all I have are irons and a good MFI Scope Mount, though, for when I finally do pick up something.

I seem to be on a Nikon kick, so whenever I get my PTR, I'm thinking one of the Nikon M308 scopes will be on the short list.  I'm also thinking about one of the fixed 10x scopes I came across when searching for scopes for my .17, that just weren't appropriate for my uses with that caliber.  I currently have a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 and Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 on my better [bolt] rifles, and I will be upgrading other rifles to Nikon glass in the future.

 

I just can't get into the original G3 scopes...I like a nice big objective lens with some serious magnification.  It's a problem, because the same applies to my camera lenses...

I bought a Z24 5 years ago when they were plentiful and I I love it especially with the UTG reticle illuminator available for it. I don't know what they are running now, but the last that I looked they were around $500 or so. For the money, you won't find a scope with the same quality optics for that price, even if it is more than the $300  that they went for originally when they were everywhere. If you choose not to go with the military surplus scope, then RTG Parts has a really nice low profile picatinny rail that you can use to put whatever scope you want on for $29. http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/LOW-PROFILE-HK-SCOPE-MOUNT-27p1939.htm

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
