    Rifle Scopes new to all of this and bought a Nikon Monarch

    Re: new to all of this and bought a Nikon Monarch In response to snipedogg: Solely my subjective opinion. I have a recently manufactured 25X Falcon and it is definitely better than when they first came out. Falcon has made improvements to the scope. Again – the scope isn’t in the same...

    Rifle Scopes new to all of this and bought a Nikon Monarch

    Re: new to all of this and bought a Nikon Monarch For your purposes, I would get a low-end hunting Leupy. Once you have decided your true long-term interest in rifles, I would base my decisions from there. You have entered a long-range, tactical enthusiasts’ website --- so be prepared for...

    Need sling suggestions for a Sako TRG-22

    Re: Need sling suggestions for a Sako TRG-22 Sako makes a nice wide sling for the TRG rifle. It has all the necessary hardware, but of course - it's expensive. Berretta USA sells them and EuroOptic might have some too.

    Rifle Scopes Bottomed out my Bushnell FFP

    Re: Bottomed out my Bushnell FFP You might try moving the scope forward or backward in the rings. I'm not sure which direction will give you what you want, but since the base is canted - the placement of the elevation mechanism along the slope will be different. Maybe just enough to get your...

    Rifle Scopes Never thought I'd do this... Scope suggestion?

    Re: Never thought I'd do this... Scope suggestion? Buy a Falcon Menace and save your money for what you really want. You can sell the Falcon for a $100 loss once you have met your “golden” total. In the meantime, you will be well served by a decent optic that meets the needs that you...

    The savage 10 fcp mcmillian- pics added

    Re: The savage 10 fcp mcmillian If you are looking for half-moa accuracy, pillar/bedding will be an absolute requirement. This is why a lot of people go with the HS precision option. Without the pillars you may also experience problems with the magazine binding the bolt, as you will...

    Want to get an AR 10

    Re: Want to get an AR 10 That's a good one - just need it for the old lady. It's amazing how we justify our expensive toys. I don't bother anymore.

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 v Menace 4-14x44

    Re: Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 v Menace 4-14x44 Actually, I think the reticle on my newer 5.5-25 is a tad thinner than my older 5.5-25 (that bought the "dust" by the way). I have been shooting .5 red dots and it seems a bit easier than before. Falcon constantly upgrades their scopes. They...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 v Menace 4-14x44

    Re: Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 v Menace 4-14x44 I have owned three Falcons going on approximately 2 years. I don’t own the version that you are interested in, but here is my opinion. I am going to stay away from the technical capabilities for the moment. The Weaver most likely has a limited...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16

    Re: Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16 No - but if you take the aluminum turret caps off, there is a metal piece that the three screws in the cap grab onto. On the original falcons, this piece had a gear shape because the caps would slide down onto the gears and you would fasten the one top...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16

    Re: Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16 Group size seemed to be increasing. Then I noticed the cross-hair would vibrate/jump when I pulled the trigger during dry firing. I took the scope off, shook it around, and something was rattling a bit. Then I remounted it; went to the range - fired about...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16

    Re: Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16 It made a nice square box. I'm not sure each click equaled .1 Mil, but it looked close. The two piece scope is a 4.5-18x56MM, I don't think Falcon makes them anymore. The 5.5-25X50MM has always been one piece.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16

    Received a new 5.5-25(50MM) ML16 as a replacement for one that crapped-out after a year (& 600 rounds of .308). The defective scope was one of the first produced and imported into this county. RWSynder was very good about replacing it, although I noticed the warranty is now two years and I...

    Rifle Scopes Another Falcon Menace 4.5-18x56 or.........

    Re: Another Falcon Menace 4.5-18x56 or......... All 4.5-18 models will have sloppy clicks. However - sloppy, and not tracking well, do not necessarily go "hand-in-hand".

    Rifle Scopes 300 yard optics (1st Post)

    Re: 300 yard optics (1st Post) Actually - I don't agree with your statement. There are several inexpensive scopes that get the job done (Super Sniper, Millet, Falcon, Wotac etc.) The expensive scopes will have better glass, durability, and tactile quality. However, not everyone needs the...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Alternative

    Re: Falcon Alternative I don't believe current WOTACS are FFP mil/mil. Another thing to consider is the amount of internal adjustment. You'll need at least 60 MOA internal and a 20 MOA base to get out to 1000 yards (.308). Many of these lower priced scopes just don't make that requirement...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Optics 5.5-25x Production Model

    Re: Falcon Optics 5.5-25x Production Model Take the turret caps off and wipe the heavy grease from the posts. This will make adjustments more tactile. Personally, I think the optic displays considerable quality for $500. It can play with the "big dogs" (which is why some people don't care...

    Rifle Scopes who has a Konus spotter?

    Re: who has a Konus spotter? I have used both the 80MM and 100MM vesions of the spotter. Clarity appeared the same on both models. The 100MM will be better in low light. The added cost of the 100MM version isn't worth it for most shooting applications. The 100MM is also large, heavy, and...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon FFP's 1 yr later-Owner input please

    Re: Falcon FFP's 1 yr later-Owner input please I did a little experiment with my late model 4.5X18IR the other day. The scope was dead on at 100 yards. I shot a 5 round half-inch group, essentially blowing my little one-inch red dot target away. Then I proceeded to crank the elevation all...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon FFP's 1 yr later-Owner input please

    Re: Falcon FFP's 1 yr later-Owner input please I'm surprised that approximately 25% of the respondents seem to be having problems. I would have expected much less. I own two different models (FFP and an older SFP version) and both seem to function properly. The SFP model has seen around 600...
