    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    I finally went and ordered a 3-18 MRAD-1. The 15% off code made it a no-brainer for me. It's going one of my AR's that has been scopeless for too long. I'm looking forward to testing it out.

    Optics Canceled LNIB Cronus BTR 4.5-29 APRS1 for Razor G2 3-18 EBR-7C Mil or XTRIII 3.3-18 SCR2

    I'll probably regret this, but I'm looking to trade a LNIB Cronus BTR with the preferred floating dot reticle for a lower power Razor gen 2 3-18 with the EBR-7C reticle only or a Burris XTRIII 3.3-18. I would consider MOA if the deal was right. Any trade needs to be in excellent condition and...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos 10-40 gen 2

    I went ahead and ordered one, it should ship late next week so I'll give it a spin soon. If it doesn't check all the boxes for me then no great loss. I'll post my unprofessional assessment in a few weeks.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos 10-40 gen 2

    Thanks. I followed up my old Argos with a Golden Eagle and although it was obviously a better scope the glass quality wasn't some sort of amazing revelation. I'm way more concerned with mechanical accuracy when I'm just shooting short range targets.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos 10-40 gen 2

    Has anyone got their hands on one of these gen 2's yet? I've had several Athlon's over the years and currently have a Cronus BTR on a .22 bench rifle. I'm shooting paper only with this rifle from 50 to 200 yards and I'm thinking of moving the Cronus over to another rifle because it's a bit...

    Accessories All Sold - XLR Howa SA gen 1 chassis and MDT stock - Final Drop $295 Shipped

    Up again. $75 cheaper than an Oryx, takes mags with no mods and it has a fully adjustable stock. I just want something more traditional looking.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos vs Vortex Diamondback

    I think youade the right choice. I had a Diamondback FFP and I sold it immediately.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos vs Vortex Diamondback

    I might just try a new 10-40 for 50yd bench shooting. Hard to justify getting another Golden Eagle for that distance.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos vs Vortex Diamondback

    I have had a couple of Argos's in the past with excellent tracking and good-enough glass. I noticed the gen 2 Argos is out now and it mentions upgraded turrets. Anyone have more details on that?

    AA Optics has a refurbished one for $900. Good outfit to deal with in my limited experience.

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    Tough decision. I've had an ETR and I know it tracks. Bigjimfish's review of the Optika6 gave me some concern over the slight adjustment play in the elevation turret and the lash in the side focus but all-in-all those didn't seem like huge problems to me, just things to be aware of.

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    I'm back to looking at a 5-30 vs another Ares ETR. Has anyone been behind both? I still can't get over the locking elevation and uncapped/unlocked windage just because it makes no sense to me but I could deal with it.
