    Rifle Scopes Weaver 34mm 6-30x56 Tactical Scope

    Ditto. I also have a Weaver 3-15x50 (should have mentioned that) and for less than $700 I think it's a great deal, probably among the best at its price. Weaver also makes some very competitive scopes in the $300-500 range. BUT... from $700 to $1700 is a huge jump in price and expectations. I...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver 34mm 6-30x56 Tactical Scope

    Very interesting, but the stated field of view numbers are TERRIBLE. Now it seems to be so common as to be normal for a new Weaver scope to be released with inaccurate specifications, so I am going to hope and guess that those numbers are wrong. If they are correct, end of interest. Other...

    Rifle Scopes Help on 2.5-10x scope

    The LRHS is just one of the Bushnell options. It's $1029 at Opticsplanet, or was last week. So I don't know where you find the Viper PST for between $529 and $629. Based on examples I own or have owned, the LRHS is a whole class above the PST, even though that PST is a pretty good scope. The...

    Rifle Scopes Help on 2.5-10x scope

    Well you've identified the most obvious choices for your use and magnification range. The 2.5-10x32 FFP PST is probably the best of the PST series, and gets a lot of good reviews. I found the reticle too thin at 2.5x, however. The Burris would seem like a great choice but doesn't have...

    Rifle Scopes Savage 10PC medium or low rings

    TPS low are .925" - not all that low. You will be fine with them. I use them with a 50mm objective scope on a similar rifle (Howa with 10 moa base) and they leave plenty of clearance.

    Rifle Scopes Super Sniper 6x

    I have one. It's a good scope, with good glass considering the price. Not much else to say given how many reviews there are of that line.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24 Opinions

    I feel like we've had this exact thread a few times lately... Anyway, I had one. See all the comments above about it being heavy? That's my biggest gripe. It's really heavy. Fine for 3-gun use where you carry the carbine for a minute or two, but would be less than ideal for anything...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner MX5i 5-25x56 MSR and Burris Customer Service - Disappointing

    This is one element of how you run a successful business. You still have to decide whether the customer is being reasonable or not, but if you don't know about an issue, you may just sit and wonder why you have fewer customers than you once did. And customer service reps don't always deliver...

    Rifle Scopes American Rifle Company vs. Spuhr Scope Mount

    I love the M10 rings, but am well aware that Spuhr makes an excellent product as well. You might ask yourself if there is some tangible benefit from spending more than twice the cost of what are already some very expensive rings. With the one-piece mounts with elevation I can see a benefit, on...

    Rifle Scopes What to do while waiting for a BEAST?

    If you want a 34mm main tube and relatively inexpensive, the Burris XTRII line seems like just about the only game in town. But they are barely on the market either. A SWFA SS fixed power would be a rounding error in your total cost. Even a used SS 5-20x50mm with rings wouldn't be terribly...

    Rifle Scopes Ring suggestions for S&B

    You don't need a one piece mount for that purpose. There are lots of makers of high quality rings, but one I would particularly recommend is American Rifle Company. Their M10 rings are a different design than any others I've seen. They mount up very easily, level very easily, and are supposed...

    Rifle Scopes short to midrange scope options?

    The Steiner T5xi had, I believe, a $1700 estimated price for the 3-15x model. The Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 would be an OK option. I just haven't much liked the PST scopes. My personal pick would be either the Burris XTRII 2-10x42, which I believe is now available (and $799 or less, but you need a...

    Rifle Scopes aimpoint pro vs lucid hd7 gen3

    I'm pretty sure that while Lucid may be a company in Wyoming, that all (ALL) of the manufacturing is done overseas by contract manufacturers, and all of their products I've seen were made in China. The model of "US company" with all actual manufacturing in Asia is becoming very common (*cough*...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 3-12x56 Military Issues

    I owned the 3-12x50mm version of that scope for a couple months, and ended up selling it because (1) it was too big and heavy for the magnification, (2) I found the reticle a bit thick, and (3) I wasn't blown away with the glass quality. Here are my replies to your questions based on very...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on the Bushnell GDMR 3.1 x 21 G2 use on a .50 BMG

    Bushnell Elite Tactical scopes have a transferable any-owner warranty, although their website doesn't explain it. The website is here: Bushnell - Warranty Information Maybe someone can scan the page from the owner's manual.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD Gen II.......impressions

    I've had the chance to compare those and some others side by side (though not shooting), here's my 2 cents: Razor with JM-1 original BDC reticle: heavy, good glass, thick reticle, bright dot illumination, clumsy (IMHO) illumination control, very large ocular housing, excellent field of view...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 5-20 eye relief

    Mount the scope while looking through it at 20x in whatever shooting position you are going to be in when using 20x (either bipod prone or benchrest, I'm guessing). The reticle focus and target focus / parallax knobs don't really affect your eyebox. I find the eyebox at 20x on that scope...

    Rifle Scopes 600 yard F-class: Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 PA vs. Viper PST 2.5-10x44?

    I went to enter a contest and saw that cameraland, which is a "hide vendor," is offering the Viper you asked about for $325. At that price, I would be tempted to give it a try. Vortex - Camera Land NY You might also look at the Zeiss Conquest they are offering for $599. I don't own that...
