    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 1-10 LPVO

    My S&B has ZERO distortion. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear. I see no distortion CC-8x on my S&B. My point was I can see paying $4k for this Vortex AMG 1-10x if it is superior to the Vortex Razor Gen III, has a dual focal plane like the S&B short dot dual, and lacks any “fish eye” distortion...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 1-10 LPVO

    If the scope is dual focal plane like the S&B and lacks distortion like my new S&B short dot dual, then it will be worth $4k. I also agree with the point that what we really want to see is the optic Vortex developed for the XM5 program: optic + rangefinder, etc.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 1-10 LPVO

    I wonder how this will compare to the Short Dot Dual CC given the $4k price. Will it be usable on 10x or is it really a 1-8x scope?

    Bought a S&B Short Dot Dual 1-8 MDR-T6

    Too few because of work lol! I am probably up to 500-600 rounds. Surprisingly, with my K length Surefire 762 SOCOM rc2, I don’t always have to put the gas block in the suppressed setting. I find some .308/SAAMI spec loads that are not “hot” to need the normal gas setting. Otherwise I will get a...

    Bought a S&B Short Dot Dual 1-8 MDR-T6

    The magnification ring is aluminum. The notches/serrations are sharp in my opinion. It takes some effort to adjust it, but it is tolerable. I’m sure it will break in with use. I just ordered a S&B throw lever: https://www.eurooptic.com/Schmidt-Bender-PM-II-Throw-Lever-971-06841.aspx The...

    Bought a S&B Short Dot Dual 1-8 MDR-T6

    Thanks for the reply. My primary issue with the Nightforce ATACR 1-8 is on 1x power. I see a big fish eye effect, worse than the Vortex scopes. May be me. On 6-8x, the ATACR shines. Also, I cannot stand the lack of a normal diopter adjustment on the ATACR. It’s a real pain. I have to make a...

    Bought a S&B Short Dot Dual 1-8 MDR-T6

    My Daniel Defense DD5V3 needed a scope; I was using a temporary measure while I mentally masterbated the past year about what to buy. My primary issue is my eyesight. I am -7.25 to -7.75 D (power depends on glasses vs contacts) with astigmatism. I am very sensitive to eyebox issues and any sort...

    Dead Air Nomad Ti Severe Failure

    I have a recent 2022 production Sandman K and so far after 500 rounds no issues. I have held off buying a Sierra 5 because of the issues posted. I am hoping Dead Air comes out with a Keymo 3D printed low back pressure 5.56 K can soon without KGM's baggage. I don't even want it modular. I want...

    I want a good 5-25x scope or similar….

    I would consider the Nightforce ATACR and NXS line to be some of the most durable scopes on the planet. That is what I consider military grade in terms of water resistance and shock resistance. Having said, I appreciate the replies. Very diverse. Please keep them coming.

    I want a good 5-25x scope or similar….

    Purpose would be mostly target shooting 300 yards in (that’s all I have access too these days). I want something with a larger eyebox than my Kahles 3-18x and more magnification for my poor eyesight (-7.5 D with astigmatism, and yes I wear my glasses when shooting). I looked through a 5-25x...

    Geissele Mid Range Gas Gun for the low price of $6,500

    Regardless it sounds like a great system combined with their suppressor. If one lives near a range that is 1000-1500 yards or shoots PRS matches routinely, I can see the value. If one is like me, where the longest range I have access to at the moment is only 100-200 yards, I see zero value in it...

    Need recs for a good, low cost accuracy testing optic.......

    Not for me. I'm -7.5 D with astimagtism. Very sensitive to eye box issues when wearing my glasses or contacts for that matter. and yes I know focal plane and eyebox are not the same thing. however, second focal plane optics tend to have larger eye boxes and are easier to get behind. Makes me...

    Geissele Mid Range Gas Gun for the low price of $6,500

    16” SR-15 mod 2 + KAC QDC 556 can WAAAAYYYYY over gassed. So much so, it hurts your eyes to shoot it (yes I am wearing very good eye pro). Tried multiple mods to no avail. Sent both items back to KAC and was told all was well. As you might imagine, I bought the system in 2017 after being told by...

    Geissele Mid Range Gas Gun for the low price of $6,500

    If Geissele’s 6.5 creedmoor barrels last 10-15k rounds, I can see paying $6k. Otherwise, no I will watch and see what happens. I have a 2020 mfg 11.5” Super Duty, which is SBRed, and bar none it is the best AR I have owned. Much better than a KAC SR-15 mod 2, and even better than Daniel...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 1-10 LPVO

    Hoping to see Vortex give us a glimpse/video on this AMG 1-10x.

    Need recs for a good, low cost accuracy testing optic.......

    I am looking for a 6-24 or 5-25 type scope for the purposes of accuracy testing at 100 yards. I didn't want to spend $2-3k. I would keep the scope in a picatinny mount, so I can swap it between rifles (from a SCAR, to an AK, to an AR-15/10, etc etc). This is strictly for fun and punching paper...

    The revised Kahles K18i-2 with a wider FOV

    Agree since I own one. Eyebox is super tight beyond 15x. 3.5-15x it works great for me on my .308 bolt gun. 16-18x it is way too tight. I own a Kahles 1-6x for 9 years now and love it to death. I still have yet to come across a 1-6x that matches or exceeds it. I am awaiting reviews on the...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts Steiner M8Xi Dmr worth the extra$ over nf or razor?

    This beefed up dual focal plane version is not on their website yet. I will wait and see what happens.

    Steiner T6xi

    Glassaholic (or to whomever can compare): when comparing the Steiner to the Nightforce on 15-16x, which is easier to get behind in terms of eyebox? What about at 18x on the Steiner? I own a Kahles 3-18, and love it out to 15x. Between 15-18x, I struggle to get a good sight picture because the...
