    Rifle Scopes Long Shot - Geissele Scope Mount Screw

    Call Geissele and request them to send you a replacement? Knowing them they'll prolly send it to you free of charge.

    Rifle Scopes Swapping optics in the field....QD Mounts or a good torque driver?

    A small 1/2 wrench can fit in a AR pistol grip or a small pouch. It essentially becomes somewhat-QD at that point, while retaining the stronger nut and bolt mount.

    Rifle Scopes Is the ATACR 1-8 really worth two Razor 1-6's?

    I believe someone replied here a few weeks go regarding the M8xi. They were quite disappointed.

    Rifle Scopes Is the ATACR 1-8 really worth two Razor 1-6's?

    I really wish more companies would put usable wind holds in LVPO reticles. I traded an NX8 for a k16i. I would sell it immediately for an NX8 with a cmr-ish reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 5HD

    What was the main gain vs the MK6 3-18? On paper, the MK6 is lighter and shorter with better FOV and eye relief.

    Rifle Scopes Value proposition on LVPs

    Just purely from an overall value perspective, you'll be hard pressed to find a 'better' choice than the Razor Gen II, especially the price the older version has been going for. Its dipped down into a price bracket where competitors are unable to compare in terms of specs and track record.

    Rifle Scopes General durability inquiry

    I have searched and been unable to find a single source of information regarding my question(s). Do specs like tube size have a determining factor in the riflescope's overall durability? I have seen various marketing pages for rifle scopes mentioning '30mm main tube for ultimate durability'. I...

    Rifle Scopes Scope warranties

    If your question is 'Who has the best warranty' you'll find most answer with Vortex. But the question is more nuanced than a simple answer, as noted in this thread.

    Rifle Scopes Need recommendations for a DMR suitable scope <$1500

    Increase a couple hundred to your budget and you can snag the MK5 3.6-18 which fits very well in that 'DMR' role. EDIT: Nevermind, far out of budget for illumination.

    Rifle Scopes Shot Show 2019 Steiner Update M7Xi/M8Xi etc..

    I was hoping to see some additional information regarding their SOCOM submitted M6xi 1-6 with the flared obj and FDE. I remember seeing a post from a vendor in 2018 on here that it would eventually be sold on the commercial market. I have seen zero end users with one and it kind of disappeared.

    Rifle Scopes Elcan SpecterDR vs Steiner 1-4

    Owned both. Elcan is a little long in the tooth as optics tech continues to advance and evolve. Very expensive with no real improvements since early GWOT. However, it has incredibly clear glass, extremely high FOV, 22.5oz total with integral mount, and a proven track record. Steiner P4xi is a...

    Rifle Scopes Lowest profile offset 45 red dots?

    ADM makes this You can choose between 45 degree and 33 degree. I believe the 33 degree was made for use with ACOGs or scopes with lower windage turrets (think NF 2-5-10x24.

    Rifle Scopes Need Opinions: Low Power Variable

    Having to give up certain features to gain others becomes less of a issue as the optics industry continues to evolve. It's only a matter of time until we have short and light 30mm scopes with all the features of a short dot or atacr. Until then, it's always a compromise. That SMRSII 1-6.5 looks...

    Rifle Scopes Need Opinions: Low Power Variable

    I think eventually a 1-3 or 1-4 will be engineered: - Absolute true 1x with nuclear bright red dot in a solid bdc reticle with simple wind holds - Massive eyebox. Like bigger than an accupoint massive. - 4in+ eye relief with massive FOV. Like Kahles FOV. - Razor or maybe even ATACR glass. -...
