    Would you...

    Yes....get a Casio Pathfinder Tough Solar and don't worry about beating the crap out of it....plus your NOD's.

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    I have a Series 3..... 5-25x. Knobs do spin quite easily, not a fan of that. Floating dot reticle I like. I would almost never be below 15x so the shrunken reticle is a non-issue. It's a nice Japanese built scope for $499. Shot it today as a matter of fact. It's sitting atop a JP .223 20"...

    Rifle Scopes Optic options for 6.5

    Big proponent of the Athlon Cronus BTR....a Gen2 if budget allows but Gen1 is a fine scope as well. I compared side by side with a Vortex AMG......I preferred the Cronus. Sold the AMG and bought a 2nd Cronus and pocketed almost $1k. I had a Bushnell LRTSi with G3 reticle and it was a little...

    Looking for advice on a cleaning rod.

    Pick a good stainless steel rod. There was a really smart metallurgist that made a post here several years ago, espousing the benefits of ss vs coated rods. After reading that, I ditched my coated rods for stainless rods. I like female tipped rods and male tipped brushes and jags.....no little...

    34mm scope base

    You want zero cant or a mount with cant? They're tough to come by. Avoid split rings vertically on precision rifles....and probably QD feature too. Frank posted about issues with those features on precision rifles...and I put stock in his recommendations. I can't justify the cost of a Sphur...

    20 moa cantilever mount

    They're tough to find. I really like the Geissele Cantilever 20moa mount. The JP Cantilever mount is great too. I had one with no can't which I had to change out because I needed more usable elevation in the scope.

    Crimson Trace 5 series vs Cronus

    I have a CT 3 Series 5-25x with decent reticle and while it is nice....It's an easy decision to pick the Cronus.

    Ares ETR UHD 3-18x50 or comparable scopes?

    I would chose a middle of the line, Japanese built scope over a higher end China built scope.......every time. That being said, the China produced Athlon's appear to be very well done.

    Crimson Trace CTL-3420

    No, Snowmageddon ruined my range plans last week 🙂

    Crimson Trace CTL-3420

    I did not like the reticle 4-20 either. The only CT reticle I like is the center dot one I have.

    Spotters Spotting Scope Recommendations - Old man edition

    Come on Marine...you're getting way too butt hurt over the generalization. All I said is that I compared the 2, side by side.....the Athlon was clearly better. Carry on 🙂

    Spotters Spotting Scope Recommendations - Old man edition

    Nobody is saying you can't like your Bushnell Legend T. Hell, there's plenty of people happy with a BSN/Leapers/Tasco riflescope on their rifle. The OP stated a budget and a use and asked what would be the best recommendation. No mention of a need for a reticle to call corrections....he's...

    Spotters Spotting Scope Recommendations - Old man edition

    That Bushnell Legend is a poor choice....don't know why people here seem to like it so much. It has a pic rail and reticle....omg, it must be good🙂 I bought it and a used Athlon Ares HD, the Gen1, 20-60x80mm. The Athlon ran circles around the Bushy....of course on equal power settings. Not...
