    Rifle Scopes Need suggestions for new scope

    TAG Interested in hearing more MK5 comparisons. Just getting started comparing my XTR Pro to the MK5 25X.

    Leupold MARK 5HD 2-10x30

    Looks to be another in a long line of miss steps for Leupold. I was really hoping for a winner on this, I won't be selling a MK 6 to fund one. Since I no longer get paid to drink the Koolaid and have to pay street $$ for Luppy, I will use the Accupoint and keep looking for the right MPVO.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas Glass Quality Equivalents?

    I should have said shooting groups off a bench on a square range. My SH4 and EP5 do a good job tracking but IMHO the glass lacks even for a .22lr YMMV I'm giving the SH to my 14 yr old grandson and putting a XTR IIIi on the open class 22. If you can get MIL/LEO expert credentials (GOOGLE) the...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas Glass Quality Equivalents?

    There’s a reason experienced shooters call that price point shit. I don’t really buy the as good as $1200 optics line. If all your time spent on the square range, yeah maybe so. As you are new here and asking about $600 glass it seems you are probably newer to “ tactical” scopes. In my years of...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR III 3.3-18x50 mini review and comparison to Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50

    I also look forward to your reviews. Currently I have the Pro 30X w/ T5 and my order is in on the 18x SCR. Son and I did an amateurish comparison of the XTR Pro and a Mark5 5-25x56 out the kitchen window using printed 8.5x11 camera testing images grabbed off the web at 120ish yd. The image...

    Scope Gurus: why don't scope makers have levels on their reticles?

    The Leupold VX-HD recital flashes at one degree tilt. I liked mine for a Fudd rifle. Sucked as a tactical scope.

    NRL22 XTR IIIi 3.3-18 vs 5.5-30

    Decided to go against my "closest to bore mounting" training and opted for the high rings this time to ease the neck strain. I used my last insider deal for the year for a 3.3-18x50 so I used gun.deals to find Gritrsports. They had the Burris 420211 sig rings for $104.25 and an EGW base for...

    NRL22 XTR IIIi 3.3-18 vs 5.5-30

    I traded my 18X MK5 for a BMW Airhead Motorcycle, I miss the MK5 more than I do the airhead. :rolleyes: Going to pull the trigger on the XTR3 before I talk myself into blowing all my mad money on another XTR Pro.

    NRL22 XTR IIIi 3.3-18 vs 5.5-30

    @Birddog6424 after rereading @Glassaholic review of the 3.3-18 vs the NX8 another question comes too mind. Hows does DOF and eyebox compare between the 18x and 30x? Does the 2.1" longer tube = more DOF and a more forgiving eyebox? Would taller rings help with getting into the eyebox on off...

    NRL22 XTR IIIi 3.3-18 vs 5.5-30

    I used to shoot @ Volusia back in the day. I was even a RSO for a while. I may make it back one day but it is a 3 hour drive one way for me. FOV is at the top of my list.

    NRL22 XTR IIIi 3.3-18 vs 5.5-30

    Recovering Leupold Fanboi new to .22lr looking for input between these 2 scopes. It was easy to drink the big L cool-aid when I was Pro-staff and got XX% off distributor, with Leupold firing my employer and moving distribution in house now not so much. Son and I sold off our Luppy 2nd FF scopes...

    How does the Armalite National Match trigger stack up?

    Take a look at the CMC drop-in.CMC Triggers | CMCTriggers.com - The Most Effective AR-15 & AR-10 Accurizer! I just picked one up and am impressed. Zero take up, crisp break, no over travel. My only gripe is the pins are retained with small c-clips. I'll probably get a set of KNS anti-rotate pins...

    Keep an eye out at Palmetto State Armory. No 20" in Stock right now but they always have deals. Right now a 16" upper with Midwest SS212 is $399.

    Best $700-$800 AR or AR setup

    Marines do it with clapped out off the shelf rifles all the time. LOL I've built several rifles from Del-ton and would put them up against any DPMS. Their 20" A3 kit is only $480 Del-Ton, Inc. AR-15 20" Rifle Kit Upper is headspaced and test fired. The 1in9 twist could limit some bullets...

    Best $700-$800 AR or AR setup

    QFT While a $800 stock DPMS A2 is DCM legal he may not be really happy with it but it could be upgraded a bit a t a time. By the time he upgrades the barrel, sights, trigger, and free float he would be better off squeezing the wife for a more realistic budget. An entry level National Match...

    Rifle Scopes The New Guy. Mil/MOA/MRAD Questions

    One thing I haven't seen discussed much here is field of view. The mk6 gives up 2x on the top magnification but FOV is 36.8 ft. vs 14.3 for the mk4 at the lowest setting. FOV may be a mute point for sniper teams but IMHO would greatly help with situational awareness/target acquisition for a...
