    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    Here is some stuff I found on various sites. The usmc mil dot is stamped on wire and the dot is .25 mil in length and hight. The army mil dot is etched on glass and is .75 moa or .22 mil. The usmc dot can be broken down into 1/8th increments, the army dot can be broken down to 10the. But the...

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    Stay away from the scopes that don't work properly. The Recon tracked perfectly in the mechanical test. Has an absurd amount of elevation (38 mills) and the second largest field of view of the lot. It cost less than every SCOPE above it except one. And it is the top rated 50mm objective. I...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR to F1 BEAST

    It depends. If you are shooting "KD" matches the targets are MOA.

    Rifle Scopes IOR terminator

    There was one for sale in the "optics for sale" section a while ago. Last time I looked it was still there. It may be buried quite a few pages back, but it would be worth the look.

    Rifle Scopes Third Eye Tactical Unimount with Cosine Indicator??

    No US importers that I know of. I ordered one of these and had to send it back because it didn't fit my ior SCOPE. It was a notch getting it here. It got held up in customs and took around five weeks before I got it. Plus I emailed these people for ever before I finally got someone to answer...

    Rifle Scopes New guy with a new build, optic suggestion!

    I have never used either SCOPE but from various threads on this site I would say both are solid scopes. While neither is really cheap they are about half the price of a Schmidt and bender. Try to get behind some of the scopes you are looking at, then you'll be able to make a better choice.

    Mcmillan wait times

    I ordered mine in December and it arrived last month. If you know what barrel contour you want you can call "Stockys" (I hope I didn't misspell that) and see if they have it in stock. If not you're looking at about six months.

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    Agreed, but I was expecting them to do better. I believe cal even got a second one and it didn't fare much better if at all.

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    The overall mechanical performance ratings are out and the IOR Recon scored a near perfect 99 out of 100 points. With mechanical performance being what matters most to most shooters this is pretty impressive. The ATACR came in 2nd with 96 points, followed by the hensoldt and the beast. I...

    Rifle Scopes best scope shootout thread as to not highjack current thread.

    ROB01, you are correct in everything you say. But the new comer around here may not (probably don't) know who's just rambling and ranting vs those with actual usable info. People also should realize when a test like the one cal is doing its just the nature of the game that some scopes will do...

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    I understand people have had bad experiences with past ior models. That is well documented on this site and others. But how many of these past owners have owned a RECON? The Recon is doing well in cal' s test and that seems to be getting under the skin of the haters. There will always be the...

    Yes I understand, but what I'm asking is this.......I don't know you, you don't know me. If you post on here you just bought "x" SCOPE...What do I care? You are just one of another 500 people on here posting what SCOPE you just bought. If I post on here I just bought "x" SCOPE.....What do you...
