    Night Vision Looking for Input on Thermal Scope Purchase

    I just got ATN's ThOR 4 4.5-18 and it is awesome. I have been using a 5 year old ThOR that has done great but this new one is worth a look. At $3200 retail it is loaded with features. A buddy has some great coyote hunting video from his X-Sight 4K so it was an easy sell for me. Bluetooth...

    Rifle Scopes Double Duty Suggestions

    I do not think you will be disappointed with the Nikon BLACK FX1000. Great features and price. I have been airing out 2 of them and plan to do some predator elimination with mine in 10 days. Repeatable, clear and accurate FFP with a zero stop, all that you are asking for in a scope.

    Says 1/4" at 100 but it's actually 1/2"

    I think you send the scope back to Nikon and let them evaluate it. In almost 10 years of doing freelance work with Nikon, I have never heard of a scope suddenly becoming a 1/2 MOA per click from the stated 1/4 inch. If I can help you out drop me a note and I will be happy to do what I can. That...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX1000 vs. Sig Sauer Tango4

    Outstanding! I hope you'll post some pics and a range report when you get it all dialed in? I have been using Nikon's BLACK Series mounts and really appreciate how solid the lockup is on my scopes. Great price too!

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Black FX1000

    Check out this review I found on 1800gunsandammo blog. "The riflescope’s ability to maintain zero and adjust accurately was tested on an FN15, and it maintained point of aim/point of impact throughout the session. Adjustments were repeatable and it walked the test target’s box—counting windage...

    Looking for recommendations for a good all around range finder for hunting and target practice

    If you are going to use it for hunting I would check out Nikon's MONARCH 3000 Stabilized. I have been using the first Generation Vibration Reduction rangefinder, 71VR and love it. The MONARCH 3000 stabilized ranges to 3000 yards and will definitely handle all your hunting and shooting needs. I...

    Rifle Scopes Suggestions on Glass for 30-06

    I'd be duck hunting to, if I lived in S. LA ! Enjoy. Nothing like rice fed puddler ducks.

    Rifle Scopes Suggestions on Glass for 30-06

    Wow!!!! Great looking rifle, I can't wait to hear about your range day! My guess is you will be chomping at the bit to take that 30-06 past 500 yards and it will most certainly be up to the task! Great pics!

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX1000 vs. Sig Sauer Tango4

    I bought 2 Nikon BLACK FX1000 4-16x50 MOA scopes. This past weekend was my first chance to air one out to 700 yards and I went 5 for 5 on a beautiful windless OK afternoon. The Bergara 6.5 CM shoots like a dream. The other rifle is a Hill AR in 6.5 and we had no trouble pounding 8-inch plates at...

    Bergara B14 HMR 300 win

    I have a left-handed Hill Country Rifle that I bought 18 years ago and it has taken dozens of deer and never needed more than 1 shot to do it. I topped it 3 years ago with a Nikon MONARCH 5 HD glass and it's doubtful I will ever change. Incredibly clear and the BDC is dialed into 700 yards. A...

    Rifle Scopes Going from high end to low end scopes...I had no idea what I was taking for granted (open discussion)

    wjm, You are spot on. It's all up to what the user wants to accomplish with their optic. I have a lot of friends with way more $ than sense. Some have $2K scopes on $1000 AR's because that is what was recommended to them. One buddy walked out of a gun store with a $1500 fixed 4X Acog on his deer...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX-1000

    IT takes 30 mil rings if that is what you are asking. Nikon has their BLACK Series mount's that work great. They can be had with 20MOA if needed. Here's a pic of my BLACK FX1000 on my 6.5 CM. The bottom pic shows the flat mount and the top is the BLACK Series Cantilever mount which worked best...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX-1000

    Cam, Nice review, that is about as true and unbiased as it comes. I have been hearing so many similar comments from others as well. Nikon's BLACK FX1000 will get the job done and for a fair price.

    Rifle Scopes Low budget highend hunting scopes

    Check out Nikon's PROSTAFF 5 3.5-14x40 BDC reticle scope. SF parallax adjustment, very nice glass coatings and backed by Nikon's No Fault Warranty. I have one sitting on a T/C .308 that has yet to not have a 1 shot stop on deer out to 499 yards. It's current;y under a Nikon Sponsored promo right...

    Rifle Scopes scrambling for a scope

    Nikon's MONARCH 5 with HD glass is one heck of a scope. I have one on my Hill Country Rifle in .300 Win. Dialed in with Spot On it has brought down 6 deer in 2 years all 1 shot stops. There are some great deals on this scope right now if you look around.
