    Rifle Scopes Warranty service?

    Cool. Only time I sent a Leupold in for service, they fixed the first problem (dust on the glass reticle) and added a big ol shiny dent/chip in the ocular for my trouble. I guess it still improved the overall functionality, but I wasn't thrilled.

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    Yeah, and maybe Steiner plans to sell two versions of basically the same scope: -the German-made models, to government purchasers or anyone who thinks $$$$$$=quality (always), at premium prices; and -the USA-made models, to us civilians, at a nice price that still makes them a tidy profit, but...

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    The Nightforce F1 is extremely pricey for what it is - and yet, right now you can buy one for $1900 (link below), with rings, and I'm sure that both Nightforce and CSTactical are still making a profit: https://www.cstactical.com/1275/c356-nightforce-nxs-35-15x50mmf1-1-4-moa-lv5.html It's...

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    No, there are brand-specific formulas for grief written on this site. Apparently Steiner has drawn the "allegations of where it's really made" card. Still better off than drawing the "won't handle the recoil of a .22 magnum rimfire" card. Steiner/Beretta should really be paying you for being...

    Rifle Scopes Build info and some optics questions...

    I have the non-illuminated version of that scope. It's a really good scope in its price range. Some other options to consider - but not necessarily better! - are: -Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 - but the FFP model costs $950, and only FFP is a direct comparison -do not get the Viper PST 4-16x50...

    Rifle Scopes Build info and some optics questions...

    Your action should pretty much drop into that stock. If it needs any fitting it will be very minor and easy to do yourself. But it probably won't. Nightforce makes good rings but you don't need to spend that much. You can get very nice rings from TPS, Griffin and PRI for under $100 (about...

    Thanks! That's right about what I would expect.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for $1000

    Oh, and make sure your scope base and scope combination gives you enough elevation to get out to 1000 yards comfortably. A 20 MOA base would probably be a good idea.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for $1000

    Magnification that high is pretty specialized, and more so if you want an MOA reticle. Nightforce benchrest models, the 8-32x56mm NXS, and the new Leupold VX-6 7-42x (also meant for F Class) come to mind. All of those are going to be well over $1k unless you find a good deal on a used one. If...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for $1000

    Both good choices, and if you want a MOA based reticle, among your very few $1k options. I would also consider the Sightron 8-32x56mm, because it is less huge than the 10-50x60 and I'm skeptical of how often your shooting conditions will allow use of more then 32 power. I've used a Sightron...

    How do we take out a robot sentry

    Up close - spray paint. Far away - water balloon full of opaque paint.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell CS

    That's good to hear. And especially interesting with the two threads we had a few weeks ago bashing their warranty service.

    Rifle Scopes Weaver 34mm 6-30x56 Tactical Scope

    Justin, what's the field of view like? The official specifications are for very narrow FOV, just 9.86ft at 100 yards at 6x, and 1.86' at 100 yards for 30x. I would expect more like 16-18' at 100 yards at 6x and maybe 3-3.5' at 100 yards at 30x. Can you estimate? Does FOV look typical of...

    Rifle Scopes FFP Why would one have one if?

    1) For hunting - in the US most hunting is inside of 300 yards, usually well inside, and with typical rifle cartridges the potential holdover and wind adjustment is often smaller than a typical hunter's shooting skill, so for typical shots SFP is fine because no hold adjustment will be attempted...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a special way to mount a scope in an ADM-Recon mount? Scope keeps canting..

    You must completely tighten the bottom screws first or else you may pinch the tube. Once that's done, no special trick. I haven't had much trouble with the scope rotating after leveling. You can try holding it in place with a deck of cards or something wedged between the flat bottom of the...

    Rifle Scopes FFP Why would one have one if?

    I'm not even sure what your question is. Laser rangefinder or not, if you hold for wind, as many people do, it's nice to have your mil or MOA marks be useable at all magnification levels, and not have to constantly remember whether you're at the one magnification that a SFP reticle is...

    Rifle Scopes scope ?

    Another vote for the SWFA fixed 10x. The only one of the list you'll want to keep after you have money for a nicer scope.

    Rifle Scopes Who is SWFA??

    The version you're looking at is indeed mil/mil. They also sell a version with a mildot reticle and MOA adjustments.

    Rifle Scopes Vortext hs-t failure

    I'm sure Vortex will be quite happy to fix/replace that scope for you. I can see the problem though. You were using a "magnum" cartridge, which we all know these aren't up to. Even if your "magnum" is a .22 rimfire. /snark

    Rifle Scopes Who is SWFA??

    I have no experience with Millett scopes, but would be surprised if any of them are in the same category as the SS-HD models. Also, I'm not saying that any SS scopes are Bushnell, only that some of them (only the 5-20x50, 1-6x, 1-4x, and 3-9x42) are made in a factory where some high-end...
