    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    Re: Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression Hard to find specs for the scope because Falcon's website has been down for some time. I would imagine 75 MOA or more of elevation adjustment. This would be consistent with their other models.

    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    Re: Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression Well I tried the scope out today, but only fired 10 rounds. I was able to sight in using four rounds and fired one six round group at one hundred yards. I did notice a couple of things. Shooting from the bench at 25X requires a perfect eye...

    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    Re: Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression I guess it's Butler Creek time for you. The three screw turrets should be able to line up on the hash marks. This was a problem on the older turret design. I didn't have the problem on my 4.5X18 model, but it was still occasionally a pain...

    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    Re: Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression The cover doesn't stay on the objective. The ocular cap is tighter. Not a big deal. Use some thin rubber weather stripping (or something similar) and stick inside the cap to tighten the fit. It looks good and works well. The caps aren't...

    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">Pros</span></span> Optical clarity is good – some fuzziness at the outer edges. The windage/elevation (W/E) knobs are a bit more tactile than the 4.5X18 Falcon. Not a big difference - but noticeable. I think the three...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a new spotting scope

    Re: Looking for a new spotting scope I'll second the Konus 80MM. It can be purchased for under $200 with free shipping on E-bay (the make an offer deal). It is an excellent spotter. Fog proof, rain proof, and fairly handy (larger than the two that you listed - not rubber armored). The...

    Rifle Scopes New Falcon Menace 5X25 - Need length information

    A) What is the length of the scope from the end of the rear ocular to the turret housing (rings bump against)? B) What is the length of the turret housing? C) Turret housing to the end of the front objective? D) A+B+C = total overall length Thanks!

    Problem McMillan A5 Stock on Savage Rifle

    I took my rifle apart today because I thought the accuracy had diminished (but still pretty good). I noticed that the rear screw hole was cracked right down the middle of the rifle from the magazine well back to the trigger area and it’s all the way through. I guess I had over tightened the...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Optics 5.5-25x56 Menace Review

    Re: Falcon Optics 5.5-25x56 Menace Review Eye relief is a big issue. I noticed the scope is "way back" in the mount. Looks uncomfortable to me. You need at least 3 inches for a .308 rifle. A more powerful cartridge and you can forget it. Hopefully, Falcon has addressed this on the...

    My Angst is Over

    Re: My Angst is Over Yeah - I suppose lugging a bench through the woods would become a logistical problem. Unfortunately, I have some neck issues that make prolonged prone shooting a bit difficult. I also like the one shot/one dot target method (i.e. no groups) discussed on this website...

    My Angst is Over

    After some time I finally have my rifle shooting the way I expected. There are so many variables to consider - the ammo, the gun, the scope, the mount, the bench, the weather, the shooter, and probably a few others that I can’t think of at the moment. The rifle is a Savage FP10 in a McMillan...

    Rifle Scopes Adjustable objectives and sight picture

    I don’t have much experience with variable power scopes and adjustable objectives. I have noticed that dialing out the parallax creates fuzziness around the outer edges of the field of view. It is clear with good resolution for about 75% of the field of view (center), and a “fuzzy doughnut”...
