    Rifle Scopes New Steiner , or Old Leupold?

    Burris Signature rings are the smaller ones, for hunting scopes. XTR Signature rings are the beefier tactical. Both have the poly inserts that allow for extra cant or fine tuned adjustment. (BirdDog's link is correct, above, I'm just being all pedantic about the names). You're after #420211...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO for 25-750 yds (some "precision" work)

    Thanks for the shout-outs on the XTR 1-8. We appreciate it. Don't forget there are two models, one front and one rear focal. #201018 is the FFP. Just to muddy the waters: Steiner should have a 1-8x in their military series later this year. And the Burris RT6 is finally shipping again, if you...

    Rifle Scopes If one wanted a different reticle....

    Speaking solely for Burris brand: I've been told that when it comes to illuminated, etched, front focal plane reticles, the work required approaches the value of the scope, especially if there is a license for the reticle. Burris still offers swaps on old hunting style reticles but those are...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Parallax Slop?

    Hi! I work for both Steiner and Burris, in marketing. Which means I can't answer your question exactly. But PLEASE do call our 800 number. Those guys really are good at this, and they may very well have suggestions for you. You're certainly welcome to just go to the RMA support page and get a...

    New to long range shooting

    I work for Burris, so you know, grain-of-salt here. I think you're asking the wrong question. It's like going to a car forum and asking if you should get a Honda or a Ford without giving details on whether you like trucks or 4x4s or sports cars, or what your budget is. I'd suggest that you...

    EuroOptic Messing With Me

    I was at this one strip club, and let me tell you, this is definitely true. What are we talking about here? I was just quickly scanning this thread...

    Rifle Scopes 1.5-6x42 options

    Is that 1.5 bottom end a deal breaker? Because jumping up to a 2x would open up a lot of options. The Steiner GS3 2-10x42, for example is designed around bringing in a ton of light, and uses a simple clean reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Going price on a Burris Eliminator II, any ideas?

    Hello JK. The Eliminator is not really meant for rimfire. Most models must be zeroed at 100 yards, and they can not deal with fast falling rounds. However, the very latest model, #200119, is a bit different. This is the model with the remote cable. This one also has a bit more computer memory...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HST 4-16 x 50 or Burris Veracity 2-10 x 42 M.A.D.

    I'd start by saying you're comparing a 4-16 with a 2-10, and a FFP with a RFP. Those are much bigger issues than opinions in clarity. Repeatability suggests you're dialing in the knobs? BirdDog is correct int hat the XTR and Veracity use the same mechanisms and much of the same glass. The...

    Rifle Scopes How do Steiner M5 series turrets work/attach ?

    Gravity. No wait, that can't be right. It is the set screws - you adjust them to reset zero just like with other scopes. But I will admit not being all that familiar with the M-series. They don't pay me enough to actually own one. Our tech support team might have a more in depth answer, and...

    Rifle Scopes Mountain Rifle Scope

    Veracity scopes ship with capped knobs, but you can call us and get exposed versions of both windage and elevation (although most folks stay with capped windage). You can also get them custom engraved based on your DOPE. (the big 5-25 Veracity with the SCR reticle includes both capped and...

    Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

    I get paid to tell you that the Burris is a much better choice. Luckily there are one or two people around here who will happily give you their opinions on that question. Heck, I didn't even realize there were glass leagues. We appreciate being considered, and if you have any questions let me know.

    Rifle Scopes Market for high priced glass????

    A few random thoughts: - The market for low to midrange hunting scopes is way bigger. Even with the fact that they tend to just keep the same scope forever. - Using this website to answer Kujak's question is what my statistics teacher would have called "sampling bias." People here are not...

    Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

    The only issue I've heard of was about 3 years ago, and a higher than acceptable return rate due to lose of illumination. I think the only change required was how they assembled the power cable inside the scope. It was before my time here. There's a lifetime warranty of course.

    Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

    Maybe same reason that there are always a lot of Toyotas and Hondas for sale on Craigslist?

    Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

    You're asking the wrong question, I think. Don't focus on the brand of the optic yet. Focus instead on the features you want. The size, the reticle, front focal/rear, mil/moa, etc. Is a zero stop critical to you, or just nice to have? Once you've got your list of what you want, then find the...
