    Re: Leupold 3.5-25x56 Whom ever is in charge of the "go" on the military side is: 1: a total newbie 1a: clueless about optics 2: getting a kick back 3: was caught in bed with a goat and Leupold has pics 4: related to the Leupolds somehow This is NUTS & a crime.

    Rifle Scopes nightforce or schmidt and bender. im buying tomoro

    Re: nightforce or schmidt and bender. im buying tomoro by the time you clap out a NF to match SB spec (zero stop, rapid turrets) - its not double. Look through both, turn the knobs, see which looks best to your eye, and feels best in your hand. I think SB is generally better product, and to...

    Rifle Scopes nightforce

    Re: nightforce The next widget or the speculation there of? Also when people get a "bug" to do something, most don't realize they are not the only ones to do so. The concept of communal consciousness is not widely recognized in western society. I can remember distinctly many years ago when...

    Rifle Scopes S&B and USMC hypothetical question

    Re: S&B and USMC hypothetical question I would wager size of the scope and the fact they are killing people with it vs. a paper target had alot to do with their choice. The 3-12 is more compact. They don't need the magnification as much as LE might. My $0.02

    Rifle Scopes Spend my money for me.

    Re: Spend my money for me. On a non-precision semi auto, I'd prefer a variable. If you have a budget, the SS 3-9x42 seems to get good marks. If you can afford more I just got a NF 2.5-10x32 which is awesome! No experience with IOR I dont like the way they look.

    Rifle Scopes swarovski torture test videos

    Re: swarovski torture test videos I can see the ad on ebay now "demo scope" for sale.... It makes me cringe to see them use a paper towel on the lenses more than seeing it shot! Looks like they need their own TV show.

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce owner - observations

    Hi All I am a long time scopaholic. I've discovered that I buy rifles simply to mount optics on them! Anyway, after a looong time of only buying German or Austrian, I expanded my obsession to include a few Leupolds and finally as of yesterday a Nightforce. It is a 2.5-10x32 Mildot with Mil...

    Rifle Scopes Premier Heritage 1.1-8x24 are on the way!

    Re: Premier Heritage 1.1-8x24 are on the way! I like it, makes the Leupold look silly.... I wish it were $1500, but the pricing seems much more realistic than the Beaver Boy's contender.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 1.1-8x24 Mark 8 CQBSS

    Re: Leupold 1.1-8x24 Mark 8 CQBSS I hope they DON'T get a mil-contract, WE PAY for it. Congress used to get upset over $95,000 toilet seats on planes, I'd hope they will get upset over $4,000 scopes that should cost $2500. But maybe no one cares anymore.....

    Rifle Scopes KAPS OPTIK

    Re: KAPS OPTIK I would say it would depend on the rifle - what are you shooting? Off hand, reliably, it would most certainly do the trick for 600 meters and under. Further than that, it would be a pot shot, imho.
