An oldie but goodie - the Vortex Razor 1-4x24

I called Vortex with a question about this scope ~ a year ago and was told I was mistaken, because they'd never made a FFP 1-4 Razor... eventually someone who was calculating how far away they were from a pension corrected him, but - that's how you know it, and me, and the gun are all getting long in the tooth - but working none the less.

I believe this was one of the better LPVOs offered before mag ranges went to 5, 6, 8 and now 10 factors.

This scope is sitting on my son's 14.5" 556 that has done God's work on pigs, coyotes, served through a few training classes and has worked for hits out to 500 yards. For the most part, it eats green tip and shits brass.

The scope is everything you'd expect from an early Razor. Glass is crystal clear and the scope has been bomb proof, cart proof, bounced around and never lost zero, never given us a moments aggravation.

It isn't the lightest thing, but if you ever get a chance to pick one up - they're great for the actual work you'll do with a 556, super excellent compliment to a clip on thermal, and generally easy to use.

Suggestions for optic covers for odd sized ACOGs/RMRs, NOX/RMRs etc?

Greetings all. I know I've seen some examples, but my Google Fu is failing me.

I'm looking for a cover to protect set ups like this while being transported in the field etc.

I've seen some heavy cloth/fabric stuff that clamshells over the RMR and optic. Our place tends to have an annoying combination of wind and fine sand.

Muchas gracias mi amigos.

This is why I want a Cayman so bad. Optimal drivetrain layout but all the really awesome bits from the 911 swap on also. And there’s finally an aftermarket, and lower-ish cost, option for ceramic brakes

Most challenging racing series I was into was spec Miata. There were some ridiculous drivers and its was all about momentum. When I first started I couldn’t believe the speed dome of those guys carried through a turn.

Thermal Scopes for Beginners

I've been impressed with the 400x300 Burris scopes for the money. I use a NOX 35, but my son uses a first gen Burris BTS50 and it has been a great investment, killed many pigs and coyotes. I'm testing an Athlon Cronus 640 CL right now and it is very impressive at a $3100ish street price. It isn't $2000, and it is a clip on, but it is a whole lot of thermal and has a laser range finder for the $$.

Ultimately I'd strongly suggest considering spending a LITTLE more thank $2k and getting a used 640 unit still under warranty out of the classifieds.
