    Choosing a scope - need advise

    I meant that the Chinese Vortexes I own have the issues. They are the ones below the Viper line.

    Optolyth Spotting scope help needed

    I got hosed buying a new old stock Optolyth spotter that has artifacts in the lenses in the main scope body. Seller refused to make things right that's life and paid with a check so no pay pal refund option. I believe it's well past its 10 year warranty period and had made several calls and...

    22LR - scope?

    If you are a glass snob the lower end Athlons are going to seem junk and you will need to go buy higher more expensuve models than the Argos such as starting with the Ares line and up to get good glass might get by with the cheaper Midas Tac that at least has HD Chinese glass. I do like my Ares...

    Choosing a scope - need advise

    These folks got Meoptas on sale for 16% off. The Optika5 4-20x50 SFP with the Z plus reticle but I'd go for the illuminated version instead for quick target acquisition. Advantage nice glass comparable to cheaper Leupolds I would say in between the VX2 and VX3. Disadvantage lose track of how...

    22LR - scope?

    There are several good 22RF worth buying. The Leupolds are hard to beat and are light weight. Freedom EFR 3-9x33 if you want to focus as close as under 10 yards for $325 to $350 when you shop around or the Freedom Rimfire 3-9x40 with moa reticle I paid $199 on sale for mine around 2 years ago...

    Vortex Razor Spotting scope deal

    Not quite as cheap as last year's Sportsman's Warehouse sale but this place normally has an excellent customer satisfaction return policy with free return shipping within 90 days if you aren't 100% happy with it. Not sure if this one is made in China or assembled in the USA with Chinese or...

    Just spent time with leupold and Swaro spotter

    I'm eyeing the Tract UHT 27-55x80 ED with German Schott HT glass for under $1500. I owned a Swarovski ST 80 with fantastic glass then bought a pair of Japanese Bushnell Elites on sale for $699 and $499 and sold the Swarovski due to size and weight and the Elites were good enough for my needs at...

    Incredibly affordable nice budget scope

    The NF SHV is a nice scope I have the 5-20x56 illuminated love the SFP reticle but I prefer my Tract Toric 4-20x50 with German Schott glass for the same money which also has a 25 yard minimum parallax. 15% off law enforcement or military discount and they go on sale for 10% off once in a while...

    Incredibly affordable nice budget scope

    I own both the Hawke brand and this cheaper Sniper version and they both track fine at 100 yards on a .223 Bushmaster doing several box tests after zeroing. If using them on a 22 RF they both parallax down to 10 yards or less if that matters. The cheaper Sniper brand scope looks identical to...
