    Rifle Scopes Mark 5 vs Cronus BTR

    I was meaning the illumination. Rather than being fully lit, it has points that are lit that give you a precise aim point without disrupting your vision or focus of the target.

    Rifle Scopes Mark 5 vs Cronus BTR

    I'd go with the mark 5. That's the scope that I am saving for at the moment. The Athlon is a nice scope, but the mark 5 offers a few features that I prefer. Locking turret, eazy zero stop, windage limiting stop (I could be wrong), parallax knob is able to be reset to align the markings with your...

    Rifle Scopes SightMark Citadel 5-30x56 LR2 Riflescope SM13040LR2: a running review

    This is an intriguing scope, especially considering it's from SightMark. How's the glass on this?

    Rifle Scopes New Bushnell Forge Scopes

    I had the chance to play with one of the 4.5-27x50 ffp moa models today at Cal Ranch of all places. The turrets are audible and tacticle with minimal lash. The glass is surprisingly good, as I was looking through it I thought to myself "damn I'm going to need one of these". I have a feeling that...

    Camera Lands July 4th Sale

    I placed an order for a Midas BTR today. Stellar price for the considering the level of scope that it is. Thanks for taking care of us nuts in the Hide.

    Rifle Scopes NXS 2.5-10x24

    Unless I'm thinking of a different scope, I'd think it's worth around $1200-$1600 depending on the feature list. I think a lot of shooters have moved to the NF with digilum and a bigger objective that can be had for under $2k new. As I said I could be way off, but just pulling it off the top...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner failure

    OP, I bought the same scope and I'm dealing with the same issue. I sent my scope in to Steiner and it took 5 weeks to get back to me. Upon inspection of the "repaired" scope I am very unhappy since the scope is still not in proper working order. This past week I've been talking with Steiner to...

    Muzzle Brake needed!

    I use a Precision Armament m11 brake on my 308, and it works really well. One design feature that I like is that there isn't any ports facing down so it prevents dust from getting stirred up while shooting prone, unlike other brake on the market. It does a great job with mitigating recoil and...

    Rifle Scopes 4K res glass video steiner next to kahles

    Thanks for sharing the video. One concern that I have about the comparison is with the mag power, since it's quite different. The Steiner has half the mag power vs the Kahles. Granted the mag range is similar though. The Steiner is at max power and the Kahles is in the middle of the range, so...

    AR triggers

    I have a Wilson Combat 3G trigger in my SPR built AR, and I really like it. The trigger reset is very short, and it almost feels like a light single stage trigger upon reset. I'd buy it again most days. The hyperfire triggers are awesome too, my wife's AR uses one. I like the Geissele National...

    I'll be going to school there for about 4 more years. I've only done one semester so far on campus. I'll be back again in January.

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-50 vs XTR II 4-20

    I have a 5-20 hd and I really like the scope. The glass is great and almost as good as the Steiner I own. I looked through a 3-15 xtr II the other day and the glass was nice I was indoors looking outside, so it wasn't an ideal glass testing environment. The adjustments on the xtr II were nice...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR 3-21, swfa 5-20, or a comparable Vortex

    There are plenty of threads about this already if you haven't seen them. Here is the short version for you: SWFA great scope and excellent glass for the price. (My personal pick of the scopes mentioned) Bushnell good scope, great reticle (G2), decent glass. Vortex viper pst, not in the same...

    Rifle Scopes What scope for a rimfire trainer

    I've been curious of this myself. I'd like the flexablity of a variable magnification optic, but the SWFA SS HD 10x looks like it's be a great option. I currently have a Leupold Rimfire 2-7x on it now, but the closer I am to finishing my 10/22 trainer the more I want a ffp scope to practice...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver rings on Picatinny rail

    I just noticed the other day that Weaver is making their 6 hole tacticle rings with a picitinny cross bolt. I picked a set up from Amazon and received them today, they are really nice rings. They might not be as fancy as the premier scope ring brands, but they aren't far off in quality if any...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 3-15x42 vs 5-20x50

    5-20. It's a better scope in all ways except the price compared to the 3-15. Buy one used and it won't hit your wallet as hard. Win win if you do that.

    Rifle Scopes I blew my budget, so I need help.

    I'd suggest the Aadland 35mm mount. It's in your budget and has a level built in like the Sphur mounts.

    Rifle Scopes Is Glass quality Bullsh*t? Or is it me?

    I'd be happy to test the glass quality with my eyes. Send it on over to me and I'll let you know if the S&B glass is up to par with my counter sniper. Jk, I'd never own a counter sniper. I will take your scope though.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II vs SWFA / HDMR

    I haven't been able to test out the Burris XTR II yet, but I've heard good things about them. I have heard that the glass quality is about on pad with Vortex's PST line, maybe slightly better. The Bushnell DMR is a solid scope with a good reputation for the overall value. The G2 reticle is...
