New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
For a farm truck rifle, I think LPVO is the obvious choice, particularly for coyotes.
These LPVOs are assembled in the USA:
* Leupold Mark 8 1.1-8x24
* Leupold Mark 6 1-6x20
* Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24
* Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x24 CDS-ZL2
* Leupold VX-4.5HD Service Rifle 1-4.5x24
* NightForce ATACR...
Burris Veracity 3-15x50 SFP with single-turn MAD knobs. OEM in Philippines by Scopro.
Burris Signature HD 3-15x44. OEM in Philippines by Scopro.
Bushnell Forge 2-16x50 (new 2021). OEM in South Korea by Su Optics.
Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 (new 2021). Made in Oregon. Obvious choice, IMO...
SFP MRAD CQ-NOMR reticle. Brownells also lists a “N-OMR” reticle in the “plus mount” package, but I suspect that is a typo, and it’s just the one reticle option.
Am I dumb for asking why the FOV ratio is less than the power ratio? What happened to "half the power, double the FOV"?
Kahles 5-25
Kahles 5-25 DLR
ZCO 5-27
reported FOV
21.3-4.5 ft @ 100 yds
23.10-4.8 ft @ 100 yds
21-4.5 ft @ 100 yds
FOV ratio
21.3/4.5 = 4.7333
23.1/4.8 = 4.8125...
Funny thing about the conversion: you do not need to know there are 1.094 yards per meter. X unit @ 100 unit is the same angular measure whether unit is yards or meters. "10m @ 100m" equals "10yds @ 100yds".
Also worth mentioning the new DeltaPoint Micro for non-MOS Glock or S&W M&P. Dovetail mount, provides lower 1/3 co-witness with factory iron front sight, 3.5 battery life, motion-on, and machined rear sight dots in case the battery dies. Nifty...
It appears the VX-Freedom AR line is being phased out (listed as "No longer for sale" on Leupold.com) and replaced by the Mark 3HD line. That is, the Mark 3HD is appears to be the VX-Freedom AR with upgraded glass. Both have P5 dials, 30mm tubes, same magnification ranges.
Is this accurate?
Not really, MRAD-1 is pretty much it. Zplus is sorta a tree with 2-MOA hashes. IMO, reticles are the weak link for Meopta.
Here’s all the Meopta reticles on one page:

I hesitate to post this, because talking about OEMs seems taboo. Compiled from public sources, and probably not perfect.
Nobody ever talks about specific OEMs (other than sometimes touting...
