    Rifle Scopes Compact hunting scopes

    Is there anything better and more compact than the March 1.5-15x42? 10.6” length, 22oz, great magnification range. https://www.eurooptic.com/March-Compact-15-15x42mm-FD-1-Reticle-01-MIL-SFP-Illuminated-Riflescope-D15V42TI.aspx I’m looking for something to put on a new hunting rig...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    Good to know, the 2.3-18 z8i is still my favorite hunting scope, but I’ve been looking to add a tt315 to the collection also. Haven’t had the chance to get behind one yet. It’s sad/funny, I need to buy another rifle just to have a place to put a new scope that I want to try out 😂

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    I’d almost rather have that at home 😂…my wife is fully supportive. “Go ahead and get it, you deserve it, I’m sure it’s awesome!” (That way she doesn’t feel guilty for buying all of the shoes, coats, purses, and dozens of packages from Amazon that show up on a weekly basis).

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    you get your hands on the Swaro yet? Curious to hear what you think, don’t see many of these in the wild or hear many other opinions on them.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    That’s wild, I’ve never seen a scope washout in conditions like that. Now I’m curious, I’ll get mine out one day this week and play around before/during the sunset to see what it does at 16x. I’ll try to snag some photos while I’m at it.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    The eye box & FOV on the S&B is definitely less than stellar, on the Polar as well. That’s my only issue with the scope. I haven’t experienced the washout on mine, but that may be due to where I hunt & shoot, or an issue that’s more prominent on the UB. Sucks to hear how disappointed you were, I...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    So they send an etched turret based off of your provided dope? Any reason you went that route vs swaro’s turret that you can set yourself? My z8i started on a 6.5 Grendel and moved to a 6.5 creed, so I loved the fact that it only took a handful of shots and a few minutes to setup the turret for...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender Polar/Ultra Bright

    Good luck discerning which is “better” in low light 😂. They look different, different color hue, different eye box, but both are excellent when the sun begins to set. Edited to clarify, I have the Polar 4-16, not the UB. Did you order the Ballistic turret for the z8i? Well worth the cost in my...

    Rifle Scopes MPVO for AR15/10

    You can get a new nx8 2.5-20 for $1600, used should be a bit cheaper if you’re willing to go that route. This checks all of the boxes, but is on the higher side of your budget. It’s worth it though, besides a little flat image…it’s an excellent scope. I have one a 16” AR, used for target out...

    Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 F1 vs Kahles K624i II

    The 624i was the most underwhelming scope I’ve ever owned…it’s a solid $1500 scope, too bad they cost 2x that. I would 100% stick with the Razor over the Kahles, but the Atacr would be a decent upgrade.

    Rifle Scopes Light Gathering

    One good thing about this “game” is the fact that high end scopes hold their value pretty well. You can buy a scope, try it for a few months and sell it for a very small loss if it doesn’t fit your needs. High end hunting specific scopes are slightly harder to sell since the market is fairly...

    Rifle Scopes Light Gathering

    100% not doubting you because I’ve never had the opportunity to look through a TT or ZCO, the first chance I’ll get is when I open the box on my own. But if they are truly brighter than something like a S&B Polar or Swaro Z8i, which were both designed to be the brightest/best hunting scopes...

    12x50 binoculars, Meopta vs Razor

    Looking to step up my binocular game a bit, the 10 year old Leupold 12x50’s I’m using are leaving a bit to be desired, both optically and overall quality. I was fairly set on the 12x50 Razor UHD 12x50, but a discussion about the Meopta Meostar B1 12x50 HD caught my eye and now I’m considering...

    Rifle Scopes Light Gathering

    I know this was directed at glassaholic, but I can chime in as well. The only Kahles I have experience with is an early 624i, which was extremely underwhelming and the K16i, which I’ve been pleasantly surprised with. The Minox zp5 is on another level, extremely good glass. I ended up selling...

    Not sure where you’re located, but if it’s anywhere near SE Michigan, you’re welcome to spend some time behind any of these.

    Rifle Scopes Light Gathering

    I’ve bought quite a few scopes over the years trying to find “the best” for low light hunting. My favorites -Zeiss Victory HT 3-12x56 ( no longer made unfortunately) -S&B Polar T96 4-16x56 -Swaro Z8i 2.3-18x56 I still have the Swaro and S&B, but wish I kept the Zeiss also. Next on my list is...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 15x56 are better overall optically than Swarovski SLC HD 15x56

    I haven’t considered Meopta for binoculars, not sure why because the Meostar r1 scope I had was phenomenal at the price point. Anyway, I was basically set on a set of Vortex Razor UHD 12x50’s, but now the Meopta Meostar b1 12x50 has my attention. Anybody able to compare the two?

    The AR15 Picture Thread

    The buffer tube or suppressor? The buffer tube is cerakoted, suppressor isn’t. I’m sure you could do the suppressor, but they get so insanely hot that I doubt it would last long.

    Something a little different than the usual, new whitetail rig. 10.5” 450 bushmaster.

    Best glass for a crossbow

    I haven’t been behind the trijicon, so I can’t compare to that. A friend of mine has a huskemaw, I’ve only shot behind it a couple of times (and in bright daylight), so I’ve never seen how it does at dusk/dawn, but he seems happy with it. It doesn’t surprise me that the Zeiss is Chinese at its...
