    Is there an exhaustive LRF comparison on here I'm missing?

    One of the best discussions is at Longrangehunting.com. Look at the the G7 BR2 thread in the products review section. It's primarily a G7/Terrapin/Leica 1600 discussion which is above the OP's price point, but it's very informative. Skip

    Vectronix Terrapin vs Leica 1600 CRF

    Actually, the beam dispersion of the Leica 1600B is only 0.1 more than the Terrapin, while the Leica is 7x compared toTerrapin's 5x. No doubt the Terrapin ranges farther than the Leica, but what are you going to be shooting at past 1600 yards? Since the Leica has ballistic curves built in for...

    Kowa 883 prominar / Swaro 95 comparison

    Look at the Meopta Meostar also. The glass is excellent and very wide field of view. Made in Chekoslovakia,rave reviews and at least $1k saving over your two scopes. You also get two eyepieces for the price of one Swarovski or Kowa. Skip

    Vortex Viper HD Series

    For really fine glass, but at price considerably less than the alphas, why aren't you looking at the Meopta Meostar? I just got one with the 30x60 wide angle and it is truly amazing. For the same price, there's a 20x70 eyepiece too, but I haven't played with that one. Skip

    Hard rifle case suggestions?

    Amazed that no one has suggested the Boyt hard shell cases. They come in various sizes and for one gun or two. They're just as strong as the Pelicans, but have way better latches, which are engage, twist and lock. And at least at my LGS, are a whole lot cheaper. They come with three...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Illuminated Leupold VX-6 1-6x

    Re: Review of the Illuminated Leupold VX-6 1-6x Big Jim, your review is prolly the most definitive on the net. While I'm a little late to this game, I just ordered the SPR reticle version. I agree that 2.5 mil graduations are awkward, though as you note, most of us can deal with units of...

    Rifle Scopes 1-4x for CQB to Mid-Range: Starting from Scratch

    Re: 1-4x for CQB to Mid-Range: Starting from Scratch Not sure what the intended range is for "high end". For me, that'd be anything over $1200. For others, maybe twice that and for others still, half that. For my $, I'd go with a good glass 1x6, illuminated reticule optional. I just...
