    Rifle Scopes US Optics

    I can confirm they tunnel. 1.8x-10 tunnels until about 2.5ish, 3-17 tunnels until ~4.5-5, and the 25x tunnels until ~8, give or take - similar to an ATACR. And yes, paying their full price is like buying a Vortex at MSRP. Don't do it. Buy with certs, used, or from EuroOptic or using a MIL/LEO...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics

    Heads up, there's a lot of trash in the other threads. DeathBeforeDismount or his alt, ClamHammer747 has a vendetta against them and pops into every iteration of the topic to trash talk based on his SN3s from 15 years ago. Foundation line is great. I've been running mine in PRS for two years and...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO Hunter scope at the IWA event

    People whining about not being an 8x/10x erector: see the manufacturer's name and philosophy. People whining about weight: see the manufacturer's name and philosophy. If you want bad DOF/FOV/Parallax/mismatched dual focal planes/fish eye/bad eyeboxes, there's a host of 1-10s out there that can...

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    My beef with the classes is that at least regionally, they're empty. I wish more people would switch from open to the classes because it'd be fun to shoot a gas gun against someone at a match or even the season, or to shoot tac against more than one person. I have a .223 bolt gun that I could...

    Sig Kilo 6k HD

    Anyone have a lead on a good tripod mount for these? I have an athlon mount, but it's not a great fit as it's a bit wide to fit between the barrels.

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    I wish more of that sponsorship money could turn into incentives for people to shoot the divisions. I'm only shooting regionally, and I've only seen one person in the last two years compete in Production (he won, obviously), and all he got out of it was a trophy and stunted scores. If there were...

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    This. If you're shooting gas gun, tac, or production and you're not shooting an MPA production gun, you're just handicapping yourself, and you're not going to learn the game as fast.

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    Winning a division only gets you a trophy, right? You don't even get to walk prize tables any sooner than anyone else, right? NF doing the PRS Skills stage sponsorship with a prize is interesting. I think if we had actual, predictable prizes for classes at the end of a season along with more...

    Leica PRS vs Vortex Gen 3 Razor 6-36x

    These are all valid points. Eyebox on my USO FDN is about the same as the Razor, because it's optimized for FOV. XTR Pro has a more forgiving eyebox, but the picture starts to pick up CA and other stuff if you're not centered. I'd take a bigger FOV and tighter eyebox in most cases, because my...

    Leica PRS vs Vortex Gen 3 Razor 6-36x

    I'm actually not too impressed with the eyebox on the Razor 3. Seems a bit shallow to me, especially compared with an XTR Pro.

    Which action in 2024?

    Some people have Defiances that have enough clearance, and they seem to work great. I think you have to ask for it when it's made though, and know what you're asking for, which... who's going to do that with their lead times? 3/4 of the Defiances I've messed with in Utah felt like someone had...

    Which action in 2024?

    There's also a few that get completely screwed by it. *cough* *cough* defiance tenacity *cough* *cough*

    Which action in 2024?

    I'm currently running a TL3 and Lone Peak Fuzion on my guns. The Fuzion "feels" more solid, and just has momentum when working it fast. The TL3 feels a bit smoother when cycling actual bullets, but less so when doing dry fire. The CRF just works so nicely, vs the Fuzion needing to slip over the...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Looking at 4Dof's doppler data, and comparing a 153 A Tip @2600 to a 140 Hybrid @2780, you might see a .1 difference in wind drift up to 12mph wind at 90° until you get to about 1000 yds, and which point it turns to .2 140 HYBRID @2780 FPS 153 A-TIP @2610 FPS Not sure if the juice is...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Watching this. Seems like most data is from 10 years ago, when anything under 2950 was considered unacceptable. "But the speed wasn't there" is the most commonly seen phrase.

    Vista (Revelyst) announces layoffs, including Bushnell

    You're not wrong. I mean, up through 2023 - let me say that again, TWENTY TWENTY THREE - Leupold was still selling a 3x erector scope for $800+. Leupold is stuck in the small erector world, and it doesn't matter to them I guess, because their brand name loyalty does all the heavy lifting...

    Vista (Revelyst) announces layoffs, including Bushnell

    Do a voice over of this, with some blue grass guitar in the background and try running it as an ad. I don't think you'll sell many. "Weight? Do more curls and bench“ Remember when the mk5 2-10 launched and a bunch of people were say leupold had totally missed the mark with a heavy 24 oz scope...

    New Kahles K328i

    This. I mean, why not just update an optic instead of reinvent the wheel? Rolling out a 3-18/5-25 with a better eyepiece would have been sufficient to have my attention (but not really because SKMR). I wish more companies would iterate on current designs rather than try and launch a huge...
