Oh jeez…I just realized how old this is. Sorry fellas.

One thing I have noticed with short/compact high magnification scopes is that mounting height becomes much more critical in order to properly line your eye up behind the scope. I was recently tinkering with a new 1.5-15x March on an AR and thought the eyebox was complete crap initially. To the...

As someone who recently experienced Steiner in all their shittiness first hand, that gave me a good laugh, as I was thinking exactly that as I read your post. I genuinely feel sorry for these guys who spend the money on a Steiner and think they’re getting Nightforce or similar quality, when the...

I have seen the Chinese put out some higher end products in the knife industry, so I thought I’d try one of these new USO branded scopes. As I unboxed it, I couldn’t help noticing that it looked like a Primary Arms optic with a USO logo, so I wasn’t expecting much...but good lord, it was...

I have 3 of the Strike Eagle 3-18x for my rimfires. You won’t find better glass at the price you can find them for. That said, I don’t know how durable I would expect it to be...Vortex has a good warranty, but in my experience, they need it.

To the top. Make me an offer! This is a great trainer, guys...accurate with a lot of ammo, cheap to shoot, nice trigger, top tier stock/bedding...will beat the pants off the Bell & Carlson stock on the Weatherby “range certified” version.

I'll be damned...I went back and looked, and that's what it is. That part number (172791) doesn't appear on Leupold's website. The gold ring makes me think it was a short/limited production run or something. They've never left the gold ring on the patrol models before. The green Firedot is...

That’s labeled incorrectly. There is no such thing as a VX-R Patrol in 4-12x. The Patrol models are only in 1.25-4x and 3-9x and the gold ring is black on those two. They also have exposed turrets. The scope on Amazon is a regular VX-R.

I like this scope so much that I bought one without having a rifle to put under it. Had to go buy a Tikka T1x. Hahaha

They don’t make a 4-12x VXR Patrol. They make a VX-R with firedot reticle in 4-12x, but that’s the gold ring style, not a tactical style VX-R Patrol version. I have a couple VX-R Patrol 3-9x scopes for my AR’s and I swear by them...just a screaming value. The firedot illumination is genius...

Payment sent - thanks again.

TTT Price drop on rifle, Scope Sold

My experiences echo that of the OP. For me, it started off when I walked into a local store to pick up a Vortex Razor Gen II-E 1-6x. Before I told the sales guy I'd take the Vortex, I saw the Vudu 1-6x sitting there and asked to take a look. I told him I'd take it before I pulled the scope...

This is a T1x in a Boyd’s stock, which I had originally purchased for an older T3 I have in .243. I had to drill a hole for the trigger guard tab (WTF is the purpose of that thing, btw?) and I had to dremel out a small amount of material to get the mag well to fit, and then a little fine...

PM sent...I really like the 5-25x that I just got (from you), thinking I need this one in my life as well. Haha
