    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    FOV seemed better corrected in the PLxC. Eyebox seemed to be very forgiving. There was no tunneling. ILya

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    The Leapers Integrix 3-18x44 is actually quite impressive. I have been looking at an early production model for a few weeks now. The reticle is usable, but could benefit from a little work, but optically and mechanically, it is quite good. As far as PA's PLxC goes, I have not yet tested one...

    Tariff effects on imported optics

    I'll believe it when I see the DOGE refund. If I break even remotely even, I'll be shocked. If the administration is dead set on keeping the tariffs, they will have to push through some deep tax cuts. Otherwise, the House will be controlled by the Democrats in 2026 and they will be fully in...

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    Between work travel, wife in the medical field and kids in the middle school, I am basically a human petri dish. ILya

    I suppose when I said that your body will be OK, but your mind will never be the same, I underestimated the power of the internet... ILya

    Tariff effects on imported optics

    I'll probably get in front of the camera and do a quick livestream to talk about the tariffs and a few likely scenarios for riflescopes. I have a couple of work things to do first, so probably in an hour or so. These are interesting times. ILya

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    If lifetime warranty and excellent customer service are your main criteria, than everybody should only use Vortex products and not look at anything else. I think we can safely assume that is not what you meant. We can have a discussion on whether it is a polite thing to crap on the brand you...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    I think Doug at Cameraland also had an open box model for well under $3k.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    Having worked for two Japanese companies in my career, I can argue the customer service part and cultural traditions both ways. However, in this case, since I know the people at March pretty well, I am not at all concerned with their ethics and willingness to support the customer. ILya

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    Is reviving a two week old thread necromancy? Either way, Craig from Area 419 will join me tomorrow at 6PM Mountain Time to discuss the Big Boy riflescopes comparison and look for ways to make these even more relevant to everyone's purchasing decisions. It is going to stream live to Youtube...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    I doubt you'll see it released just yet, but if it is showing up in competitions, there is a fair chance it will be out before the end of the year. I have been told it is a rather impressive design, but I have not tested it. ILya

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    It has to do with some sort of a Japanese law that pertains to businesses of certain size. I know for a fact that March has been providing service for scopes older than a decade just fine. They just can't put it on the website. ILya

    ZCO is an excellent scope. Nothing wrong with that. ILya

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    If you need repair, with March, the scopes do need to go back to Japan. They do have someone in the US, so you send the scope there and they deal with everything from that point on. I am not aware of anything ever taking nine months for them to repair. Maybe there was some sort of a glitch...

    Rifle Scopes DNT 7-35x56 FFP Riflescopes

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    On balance, this is probably my favourite scope from the March line-up, although I am quite partial to the new shuriken turrets. I have those on the 1.5-15x42 and I am quite impressed. ILya

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Faster readout is always a nice thing, but how big of a difference it makes overall is an open question. For top shooters, it might. For me, shotting NRL Hunter matches, that's the last of my concerns. For PRS, I do not think it would make a ton of difference, since you are not ranging on the...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Leica has an edge over the UHD despite having an integrated LRF, but it is not a big edge. I have not compared them in low light, but the gap might close a little there due to Razor’s larger objective. ILya
