    Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40 Riflescope w/ Drop Zone 223 Reticle ????

    Called Bushnell on this scope after speaking with a rep at SWFA (Buck or something short like that). He stated the clarity was on par with the VX-III ? ? ? One Bushnell rep told me it was based upon the Trophy XLT line. However, I received an email from Bushnell with some specs. 1st: Light...

    Rifle Scopes Lower Priced (<$400) with exposed elevation turrets

    Confirmed with Burris today. Their custom turret is made for only one revolution. So they only have 12 Moa to play with. Good for short/mid range, but not something I was looking for.

    Rifle Scopes Lower Priced (<$400) with exposed elevation turrets

    like this? :) I do like that scope, but I wanted a variable adjustment for hunting. I typically walk to where I am going and leave my scope on the lowest power for possible quick shots. Then if a shot does present itself, I "zoom" on in.

    Rifle Scopes Lower Priced (<$400) with exposed elevation turrets

    Got the Burris in the mail today. Have a few dislikes, probably going to send it back. -The elevation turret does not have horizontal markings, so it would be very easy to forget how many turns on the dial you have made if you are not paying attention. Another issue I forsee is the elevation...

    Rifle Scopes Lower Priced (<$400) with exposed elevation turrets

    I adopted this pitbull from a home it was seized in. It was only 5 weeks old when we got it, now 6 years old. Owners were raising fighting dogs. First pitbull I've owned and she's been the most loyal dog I've ever had.

    Rifle Scopes Stoney Point Knobs for a Leupold scope but on a Vortex Diamondback

    I really couldn't find anything. I have the diamondback on my Ar coyote gun. Gets thrown in and out of my truck quite a bit. Never had any issues with losing a zero. Glass seems to be as good as my VX-1 leupold. Vortex also has a better warranty program than most. Seems like they cant be too...

    I actually email Leupold today. They have a military/leo discount program. I have heard it is roughly 40% off retail on their tactical line. They have discounts on Redfield optics as well... may be purchasing a spotting scope :)

    Sightron is on backorder, so I cancelled it. Going with the Burris, will post my review/thoughts when it comes in.

    The FFP looks strangely similar to the falcon menace.

    Rifle Scopes Lower Priced (<$400) with exposed elevation turrets

    Never heard of Primary Arms, they Chinese? I have a swfa ss, does great on my 308, but its more of a range gun. Only issue is their variable power scopes are freaking expensive.

    Rifle Scopes Lower Priced (<$400) with exposed elevation turrets

    Well, his first two comments rubbed me the wrong way. "You don't need an exposed elevation turret " & "2x makes that much difference? " Seemed like he was on here not to give advice, but to give input on what I really need. I already made my mind up on what features, power ranges, ect that I...
