No. I understand how this could matter in some situations, but in this one I am not concerned. I appreciate you looking out though.

Edited my original post hoping its more clear.

It would be amazing to me if two rifles had the same Zero. I was not thinking the rifles would have the same zero. My thought was that I would only have to reset the turrets. For example, let's say I put a scope on a rifle. For the sake of this example, when I first put the scope on, both turrets a...

Got it. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. It was my impression that good quality mounts have great return-to-zero, and good scopes track well, so it would be easy to move the scope then just set the dials to where they were when zero'd.

Is it realistic to have a single scope be useful for multiple rifles (assuming the use of a nice QD mount) simply by turning turrets as needed to each gun's original values when it was sighted in?

I see both sides. On one hand, as much as I don't like them increasing their prices so much, as an advocate of Capitalism, I have to be OK with it. This is not food during a famine, thus it is not gouging. On the other hand, one could make an argument for an amount of ammo to be a necessity for self...

What about insulating it on the outside? Maybe build something around it out of a couple layers of sheetrock? Or perhaps cover it in ceramic blanket?

Depends what/how far you want to shoot, and where/how it will be carried. While many will say that a sub-16" 5.56 loses too much energy to be effective, I think it's wise to consider the reasons actual professionals use them. My unprofessional opinion is that a traditional AR is great for the p...

Thank you for the suggetions. Ultimately, it will be up to her. So I can give her as much info as possible, what are some reputable shops in the NW valley that do consignment?

Do you mean the seller keeps 80% of the sale price and the shop keeps 20%? Does the buyer also pay sales tax?

Why not here? Mostly because of time.

I am helping a recent widow sell her late husbands collection (only five guns). I don't have any experience with gun consignment. What is a fair rate to pay? Also, is the Blue Book of Gun Values a reliable source in determining what a firearm is worth?

Oooh, the specters are cool!

Depends on use and barrel length. 9" for CQB...Vortex/Sig/Aimpoint red dot. Unpinned 14.5" for 'all-around' use, the above mentioned Strike Eagle 1-6 could be great. That's actually personal preference and not to do with barrel length or use. The LPVO is fine for those that want it on the...
