    Optic question

    Reminds me a little of when Bushnell introduced the elite tactical, I think street price was around $1250 for the DMR and there were many naysayers because that was a lot of money for a Bushnell back then. Will be curious where these end up over time.

    schmidt and bender ultra short vs minox zp5 3-15

    I’ve had several ZP5’s over the years, one had mediocre turrets others were pretty fantastic except for the resistance between 1st and 2nd rev which I felt was a little too tight. Sent my first scope back to Germany and said “fix my turrets please” and it came back with outstanding feel. The...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Factory Defect...?

    Some good advice above, not sure I can add but do you only have only one barrel for your MRAD? Another test would be to throw a different barrel in there, maybe a combo that previously shot lights out? If you don’t have another barrel then remove, re-attach and re-torque before your next...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Looks like my old rifle in 7mm SAUM - Manners, Bighorn, CFB... :LOL: What is the yellow band between the diving board and the turret housing?

    ^^^ Yep - they'll spend $1000 on a golf club but can't imagine paying more than $300 for a scope... 🤷‍♂️

    Vortex Fury Replacement Teaser

    Maybe from our point of view, but honestly it's these "cheaper" options that sell crazy well for Vortex and other sport optics mfr's which helps with R&D on the more expensive stuff that eventually rolls around. We've been crying... begging... pleading with Vortex to bring out a Razor LRF bino...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    This is Vortex - for a street price of $2k the MSRP will easily be $4500 :sneaky:

    Swarovski Z8i+ 5-40x56 vs Ziess V8 NA 4.8-35x60

    Appreciate the time and energy that went into this review. We mostly see FFP scopes here on the Hide due to the type of shooters this forum brings in, but always nice to see some high end SFP glass get some time. They don't interest me a whole lot as I prefer to hunt with FFP especially if it...

    Could this finally be the Razor UHD LRF unit many have been hoping for? If so, based on my experience with their other Razor UHD bino's this should cause quite a stir. I have a review coming of the Razor UHD 8x32 vs. the Zeiss Victory SF 8x32 and the Vortex holds its own quite well!

    Rifle Scopes Atacr gen 2

    Essentially what many manufacturers use to stay in compliance with the patent. They can use all the clever marketing terminology they want as to why, but the cat was let out of the bag a few years ago and it seems more scopes than we realized are "limited" due to this patent (here in the USA)...

    East meets West – 10x Binocular Challenge

    Great timing then, I will be curious to hear your thoughts. Binoculars can be a bit more obscure but still have a prominent place in our bag whether we hunt, shoot steel or what have you when out and about and can use a little "assistance".

    East meets West – 10x Binocular Challenge

    East meets West – 10x Binocular Challenge Arguably the most popular binocular for western hunting is the venerable 10x42, ask almost any hunter and they probably have at least one 10x42 in their lineup, but what makes this magnification and objective sought after almost more than any other? I...
