    Rifle Scopes Tangent theta dealers

    Google the Wayfair Decision - charging sales tax across state lines is now the law, they are only complying with it. Guys who are not charging sales tax to states who have declared that they require it, well, good luck. Changes from state to state - depends on which have declared that they...

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    I never thought it held a candle to the K16i.

    Rifle Scopes Scope choice?

    If you are even considering $2k, hands down get one of the Schmidt PM II 5-25 DT P4Fine - those are $3200 scopes ($3700 list not long before that), and you can get them now for low 2's.

    Rifle Scopes Strike Eagle 1-8 or Viper PST Gen II 1-6

    These scopes aren't even in the same class. Strike Eagle are Chinese construction, and PST made in Phillipines, if memory serves.

    Night Vision Just got my PVS 14

    The weight is nice, but I can't abide not being able to quickly confirm zero with a slaved vis laser. I hate trying to zero IR lasers any other way, total PITA. I've tried this too, and to each their own, it has merit. I didn't like the extra battery consumption and the shadowing, and the lack...

    Night Vision Just got my PVS 14

    Definitely agree in general, though I still maintain that the D2 is usable. I wouldn't advocate for any of their other ones, including the A3 and A4. The PEQ15 is still a superior solution here. Don't disagree here either, but the OP was asking about a PVS-14s and helmets, so I assumed he was...

    Night Vision Just got my PVS 14

    I've tried a bunch of devices, if you can't get a PEQ15 then I think next best device is the DBAL-D2. The other units that Steiner offers either don't have coaligned lasers, which is a non-starter for me, or don't have enough illuminator power. The D2 is a bit heavier, but the powerful...

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    This is good info, and given that the primary purpose of the LPVO is 1x, it makes sense to me.

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    I've shot a PMII 52-5 DT P4F for years and on many different rifles, and I love it. You can do more with more reticle technology, but you certainly do not need it. The illumination is not designed for day usage, it is very dim. Nothing like DigIllum, you would not be able to use it during the day.

    That's a good point - and subtension thickness becomes a concern at longer distances as well. FWIW, the FC-MOA's center dot is 1.25 minutes wide. That's a bit on the big side.

    Rifle Scopes Best 2-10 ish ffp

    Would love to hear how you like it. My first impressions of them were very positive, was impressed that L3 made something like that, but don't have the runtime on them to stack them next to other makes.

    Rifle Scopes NF ATACR 7-35 does this sound right?

    Second that.

    Rifle Scopes TReMoR3 Reticle is voodoo and Todd Hodnett is a witch doctor. Discuss.

    Don't think you'll have any trouble moving it if you decide to move on.

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    So there's no such thing then as a C599? Military part numbers have an M prefix, correct?
