I'm waiting for that exact same scope from that exact same vendor, ordered about a month ago. My credit card is on fire lately, so unlike you I'm actually hoping it will be a while.

What happened to IPHY and MOA reticles? I feel like those were formerly available in the custom configurator and now they are gone.

The scope is brilliant. They used FFP to provide an excellent 1x reticle and an excellent 6x reticle. The glass is great. It feels very durable and strong. Illumination is adequate. There are a couple of little nice touches, too. Like the knobs hold a spare illumination battery. Thread...

While I understand that point of view, it really depends on the reticle. SWFA has specifically designed their reticle to work well at 1x and 6x. They have taken advantage of how FFP works to provide you with two different reticles. At 1x you have a donut with crosshairs in the middle; that's an...

Got mine last week. The HD glass is pretty great. The reticle is fantastic and perfect for a 1-6 optic; it was very well thought-out. Turrets have a nice feel and tons of adjustment. Was able to hit IPSC silhouette at 750 yards at 6x power. Illumination is adequate in all conditions, but I don't...

That's way too good for your brother to have. ;)

Shipping is free at Optics Planet, so I guess I don't get the joke or whatever. This is basically an 11.7% off sitewide coupon if you order over $300.

Why is this being closed out, is it an old model? I thought HS/ZS has only been around for a year or so now.

My thread protectors were not on very tight at all. I just unscrewed them with my fingers, and I have the finger strength of a toddler.

I believe the most accurate AK barrel is the hammer forged Austrian barrel made by Steyr. These were used in the Bulgarian Milled AKs model SLR-95 and maybe SLR-96? Unfortunately I don't think you can get just the barrel, as you need for your building purposes. Arsenal imported the SLR-95, so it...

For a new scope around that amount of money I think SWFA SS and Vortex PST are the best scopes to get. Nightforce NXS is indeed better, but as others have stated you'll have to go used to get that in your price range. Also the NXS has a very difficult method for changing the illumination level...

Caps to cover the turrets to keep you from accidentally moving them. Yours probably shipped with thin thread protectors you can see at the base of the turrets, covering the cap threads.

I don't think you are supposed to be selling here. From the rules: Posting an item for sale in any other area but the "For Sale Section" will immediately get the post removed and the User Banned for as long as 30 day or longer without Warning. Sniper's Hide considers these rules as written your...

You seem to know your stuff. I think the real problem is that your brother doesn't listen to you.

Sounds like a defective build. Your brother shouldn't have to buy a new barrel; he needs to return the whole gun or get that barrel/extension fixed under warranty.
