Lots of viewpoints on the topic of straight vs angled spotting scopes. Much depends on how you will be using it, or better still, the number of ways you'll be using it. Google "straight vs. angled spotting scope" and you'll get a pretty good idea of the underlying issues with each. Skip

You'll save a few hundred bucks if you get the Meopta model which is identical to the NF because Meopta makes the NF. Also, You should be looking at the angled version, not the straight. The straight is not very versatile. Skip

I have owned and used the Meopta for about a year and a half and couldn't be happier. Mine has a 30-60 eyepiece which has an amazing FOV, but you may be wanting the 20-70 eyepiece which sacrifices a little field field of view for more magnification. I've not needed greater magnification than...

E-mail sent requesting more than just the 1 I put on the official list. Hopefully, Kasey's production crew will be able to handle a few more than what's on LawnMM's list. If not, Christmas will be ruined for a couple of my best buds. Thanks to Kasey for making this deal and to LawnMM for...

Thanks especially for your huge contribution of effort, objectivity, and professionalism. It's going to make the scope search for many a lot easier. Skip

Meopta makes the NF TS-82 and its Meostar is virtually identical to the NF but a few G notes cheaper. I love mine and so do the pros who have reviewed it. Brightness, clarity, depth of field are simply stunning and are equal to, if not better than, the high end brands. I don't miss or need a...

Wow! Am gone for a little over a week and I almost miss out on this. On just what, nobody really knows. Since I really love Kasey's products and can afford to be a lemming on this, COUNT ME IN Skip

Such a shame that a thread designed to elicit meaningful insights and suggestions on how to make the SCAR 17 a better tool gets high-jacked by A$$-holes showboating their inferiority complexes. Skip

as has been stated, the Scar 17 is a battle rifle not a precision bolt gun. but as such, it damn sure is worth it, in as much as it's lighter than just about anything comparable, with minor mods is sub MOA, and is more durable and reliable than an AR 10. Skip

Don't get me wrong, the G7 is a great rangefinder too; however, it's calculations are in MOA, not mil, and it's not nearly as compact as the 1600B. If the G7 were more compact and calculated in mils, that'd be my choice, but it's not. Skip

The Leica 1600B is a great rangefinder. It's beam divergence is second only to the Terrapin, but 2x more magnification, with angle, barometric pressure and temperature data readings, in addition to a generalized balistic drop calculator in an extremely compact package. This latter feature is...

I actually like the FML reticle. It serves it's purpose and is not distractingly busy. Having 10mm more objective diameter than the 3-24x42 will capture and transmit more light and provide greater eye relief. I look forward to Frank's review and hope that he finds that those benefits offset...

I've had the BT 10 for about a year. After fiddling with it a little too much to loosen the tension, I broke it, sent it back to B&T, and Kasey sent me a new one immediately, no questions. Here on the Hide, Kasey and B&T offered the new PSR Atlas which I ordered in the BT 17 version, which is...

Haven't looked through or at the NF, but I've owned the Meopta for about a year. This spotter is amazing for the price and I heartily recommend it. Skip

Yeah Frank, I have a bad taste in my mouth too, but it's not from Shortcut's posts, it's from your classless response. I used to think more highly of you. Skip
