    Rifle Scopes Reticles for Meopta Optika 6 scopes.

    If the FFP 3-18x56 with its 10yd parallax could get dichro MRAD, it's gonna be an extremely versatile air gun scope and I will be first in line. Really hope the dichro and MRAD eventually comes specced together on that model, the way it seems to have on the 25yd parallax 5-30x56.

    7mm SAW

    Does anyone plan to test 180 class bullets like the 175 ELD-X/180 ELD/183SMK? Would be interesting to see if these super low form factor bullets can reach 2700+ fps.

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Yeah, I'm less concerned with daylight bright than I am with the thing not searing my retinas at dusk, but I hear you about capturing photos in those conditions. The super blood wolf omgwtf moon the other day was a good reminder. See Diver, you didn't need to worry about killing the thread...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Thing is, the TT315M is a ~$3k not a 4k scope. Part of what makes it unbeatable. You know you wanna.. And the SSG is a switch barrel, so if it can do more than one thing its scope should be able to as well. That's a big part of this for me. I hope that if nothing else, by channeling all this...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Those pics are fantastic. I didn't really have any fears about the ret at 3x but those would allay them. You don't happen to have any illuminated examples do you? I will keep an eye out on the classifieds, seem to usually be MOA in the TT315M but that is a great idea given the warranty.

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    I think that you're probably right, given that the only scenario in which I'd likely to replace it would be with another TT315M. What do you have it mounted in? Was thinking either APA rings, a Spuhr Hunting series solid mount, or a Bobro. Would folks have a recommendation on a TT vendor?

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Absolutely, I wasn't disappointed in the hype train per se, just that the weight and FOV didn't instantly match the PST Gen II.

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    This all got started for me when I bought the early SSG as a 2018 new year's present to myself, fully intending to throw a No4 on it and call it a day. That No4 was going to be a MeoStar R2 2.5-15x56 because of its excellent low light reputation, FOV, and light weight. Then as I started...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    It's such a privilege to be able to get this caliber of detailed advice these days, when I think back to ~10 years ago and how my buddy and I settled on a pretty decent Sightron out of pure luck and many months of "researching" rumors... so thanks again for everyone's help. It seems that weight...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    I have a spreadsheet set up to convert both 100yds and 100m to angular for apples to apples, so I can quickly compare how say the ATACR and PX4i both have identical 1.32° FOV at 16x, but the ATACR is 5.13° at 4x while the P4Xi is 5.25° at 4x (this might help to explain why Ilya thinks highly of...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Ilya, S&B was teasing the 3x21-50 as a hunting/competition scope last year, hence my confusion. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of "competition" in the reticle department.. Interesting on the P4Xi, are the illumination controls any good for low light though? Diver, I think you expressed my...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Between the PST Gen 2 3-15 and the Burris XTR3, the "not sexy" category is pretty well covered. "Sexy" is a lot harder to figure out (go figure). The FOV and objective advantage on the XTR3 for low light make the choice between the two clear for this particular circumstance. The one thing that...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Thanks to everyone for the great advice, it's really appreciated. To take the recommendations listed here in turn: 1. Ilya saying lighter weight options proliferating by next Shot. That's great to hear, and I wonder, might you be including S&B's mystery 3x21-50 hunting/competition model in that...

    Complete SHOT Show Report

    Is the Exos 3-21x50 the same scope they teased in a black/white "camo" pattern at Shot last year? Curious that it's SFP because they were describing it as a competition/hunting scope, which I would have thought would indicate FFP.. and like 5 fewer oz.

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    I heard rumor of new S&B reticles this year, but all I see listed for the T96 on their site currently are a bunch of crosshairs. I didn't really make it explicit but I'd like at least a FFP mil-based reticle. If I went the No4 route I'd be looking for something cheaper like the Docter, so I...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    You're right of course about the turret, brain fart. To provide a bit more context, until deciding that the TT315M juice was worth the squeeze, I had been considering swapping a dedicated hunting scope onto the SSG with 6.5x55, and then switching to a dedicated target scope for 308. That may...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta Gen3 XR - details and images

    Thanks for all that you do! It is really appreciated and frankly has probably sold a whole boatload of past and future TT's. That definitely applies to me. Feel free to tell them that. ;) I don't want to be the jerk that derails this thread, so I asked my question in more detail in separate...

    Rifle Scopes TT315M alternative, or the mid-range to rule them all?

    Asking this here to avoid derailing the TT Gen3XR thread. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd buy a TT315M with Gen3XR and a locking windage turret today, but I can't. If/when they a G3XR TT315M, I'll buy one. Until then I would entertain spending ~$2k on something else. The primary rifle for...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta Gen3 XR - details and images

    Thanks for the updates! Not gonna lie, it's a little weird that I just happened to be watching Ilya's shot update vids right now. I had hoped it was kind of inevitable, since they already sell the G2 in the TT315M and I really prefer the floating dot. And like probably others I maintain hope...
