    Rifle Scopes Glass for a PRS gun?

    The way I look at it.... The advancements in optics in the past year make it hard to spend money on anything older than that around the $1000 range unless you get an amazing deal on a used unit. It's not a knock on scopes like the PST II or XTRII which I think have rightfully earned their...

    Rifle Scopes Glass for a PRS gun?

    I just got an MPO. I haven't shot it yet (still waiting on my rings) but it has nice glass and feels very nice in hand. Very robust and I really like the turrets. The glass is a little better than a PST gen 2 in my opinion as far as resolution and I really like the reticle. The turrets feel much...

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool & Gauge SUCKS!!!

    I got a custom diameter fluted 1 piece bolt for my 700. They said 8-10 weeks and it was at my door in 7. I'm super happy with it in my ghetto ass rifle after 900rds (better primary camming and perfect lug engagement). Looks like prices went up recently on those bolts.... I'm thankful I didn't...

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Pro Rings vs Seekins

    Look at A&A optics for refurbished Vortex Precision Matched Rings for $90 shipped. They ARE Seekins. Mine shipped out today so I don't know the condition, but they are just rings..... I'm sure they either had damaged packaging or were used on demo guns at trade shows or something.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Height Question

    I 3d printed a set of scope hight test rings. There are files available online if you have access to a printer. I'm considering redesigning the rings and offering the sets for sale on here if there is some interest. Probably in 1", 1.125", 1.25", 1.375" & 1.5" heights. So 8 "rings" total for...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I expect a misunderstanding or they maybe didn't have another available??? Mine is very solid.... I'm still sitting on it trying to decide what I'm going to do with mine

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I wouldn't modify my scope! I talked to several people at brownells and they said send it back (over chat and phone).... What you heard sounds plausible except one thing. Are the 3-18 turrets the same? With 40 mils of travel they would have to travel 4 full rotations. I guess they have to be...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Ok, so I can't shut by brain off when it gets started on a problem. I have determined that my MPO actually has 23.8mils of elevation, not 19.2. The problem seems to be in the post that acts as the hard stop for the zero stop. As the turret revolves it is essentially unscrewing and moving up. The...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    @Sanwizard what did you find? Is there a new Quigley Ford out? The more I play with the MPO the more I like it honestly. The eye relief is so long compared to the SWFA that it is distracting to me. Oddly I'm really not noticing the distortion nearly as much now? Maybe I was just being hyper...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Just received my MPO this morning. So far I'm liking it pretty well. First impressions are it is huge with the sun shade... Don't know if I will run that very much... And it feels like a tank. All clicks and controls feel very nice to me. Negatives / things to note: -There is some CA but not...

    Rifle Scopes $1000 scope to shoot 1000 yards need help

    That comparison was purely based off of manufactures published specs. I have only looked through a 3-18x56 Optika 6 for just a second. It was very nice and I would say yes it is better than the PST 2 I have gotten to look through. But I'm not the person to give you an accurate report on that....

    Rifle Scopes $1000 scope to shoot 1000 yards need help

    I think the Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56 is slightly better. PST II 5-25x50 = 24.1/4.8 @ 100yds OPTIKA6 5-30x56 = 24.6/3.7 @100yds MPO 5-25x56. = 21.9/4.35 @100yds Since top end magnification is different I'm only considering the bottom end. Not sure if that value is linear through the...

    Rifle Scopes Budget 22 Trainer Optic

    It's really hard to beat the SWFA fixed power scopes for the money. Lower powered ones like the 10x really have quite good glass. I'm not sure about the FOV specs, but I think it would work great at 50 yards and beyond. Their 2 biggest strengths are mechanical reliability (tracking and such) and...

    Rifle Scopes Brownells MPO VS. Optika 6 HELP!!!

    Big thanks to you and @koshkin for answering my questions and providing me with information. I think I would have been happy with either but this won't leave me wondering if I could have done better. Plus if I don't like it, I don't keep it... But I will! To me it will be a huge upgrade.

    Rifle Scopes Brownells MPO VS. Optika 6 HELP!!!

    I made up my mind. Brownells should be packing up my MPO shortly! Biggest deciding factor was the warranty. Now for the hard part... Waiting.... !!!

    Rifle Scopes $1000 scope to shoot 1000 yards need help

    It looks like price on the 5-30x56 RD MRAD went up. I don't know if that's from Meopta or just depends store to store... Sportoptics still has them listed for $899 and (as of yesterday at least) offered 15% off with the code EURO15. They don't have stock though...

    Rifle Scopes Brownells MPO VS. Optika 6 HELP!!!

    EDIT*** I'm not knocking cameraland or anything, I have never seen a negative comment about them. I'm just being honest about my experience. Once I actually get in touch with them I will probably edit this post or just delete it. Well I changed my mind and called up CameralandNY last week...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed mag swfa still the go to?

    I shot local PRS matches with the fixed 20x last year. Mine is a little dim/grey but it is dead reliable and tracks perfectly. I hear the glass can vary quite a bit. For just plinking or load development or a cheap backup it's awesome. I will never get rid of mine

    Are you sure about that code? If you have an MPO in your cart it removes the ability to enter discount codes
