Any decent riflescope will do to begin and get some experience. The mantra "buy once, cry once" is for children. You should buy wisely. If you are just starting off in F-Class, you had better brace yourself; it's a money pit. If you intend to do well and be competitive, you are going to...

As a long-time F-class shooter, I can answer your question. F-class is all about exacting precision and dealing with conditions and mirage. You definitely need an SFP riflescope and while a target dot will be fine, there are more sophisticated reticles used by many (most?) of the top shooters...

Since the question was directed at PRS, NRL and steel shooters, I wasn't going to answer. Until I saw your answer. So, you shoot in F-class at 1000 yards with 16X magnification, and 600 yards @ 10-12X? Wow. How can you even see the rings and hold on them at that magnification? I have not...

I'll be interested in your impressions on the LDK reticle.

I guess I need to ask our Mercury Program aficionado @Faith7 exactly how close he needs to focus.

It's got to be a pretty hard hit. I have one on my F-TR rifle, and it has never come apart. It's been to scores of matches, all around the continent. If it comes apart, it's because it was appropriate to do so.

Let me address the throw lever thing. It is not an afterthought; it is actually cleverly designed. It is inexpensive, it is some type of polymer (plastic), it is light, and it is designed to breakaway if hit hard. This way, it will not mar the surface of the riflescope, and if it hits...

I think you're talking about the new March-X 8-80X56 HM Majesta. It's the one with the Titanium finish and black accents. Yes, that is an incredible high magnification riflescope.

I disagree. The Kowa Prominar spotters with fluorite glass surpass the euro glass in IQ. I've looked through enough Swaros and others, comparing them to the Kowas. The Kowas are the top.

In terms of IQ (Image Quality), the Kowa Prominar series of spotters, featuring fluorite crystal glass are the top spotters, above all others. Kowa does not use fluorite crystal glass in their binoculars, but instead they use their XD glass, which is their version of ED or perhaps even Super ED...

High mag? 35x maximum? LOL.

I'll take a guess at your question. This is just conjecture on my part but I would say that manufacturers make the riflescope as long as it needs to be for the optical formula they are putting in the riflescope. Having the housing 3 inches longer would be viewed by many customers as a big...

That was quite the review, well done, @Glassaholic. If I may offer a few thoughts on the March-FX 4.5-28X52. I get the focus on the technical/operational aspect of the riflescopes and you did a very thorough job there, but there is also the product presentation aspect, and by that, I mean...

I have a sunshade on all my riflescopes as well as my camera lenses. They protect the (expensive) objective lens element from contacting anything. They also keep out the rain, dust and so on, but it's mainly the contact protection for me. Also, I think the shooter who thought he could see...

My 4.5-28X52 has the old turrets also, and they work just fine, for me. I do love the Shuriken turrets on my Majesta.
