    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I went to the range the other day with my new JP LRP-07 in 6.5 Creedmoor and I decided to mount an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29 on it using a JP mount. To say I am happy with the performance of the rifle and scope is a complete understatement. I am not as good a shooter as some of you seem to be but I...

    Rifle Scopes Help me upgrade my AIAT

    I absolutely love my Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27. I've never looked through an S&B but the Razor is awesome. The EBR-2C reticle is sweet. I feel I can get very precise using the small open center of that reticle....But given your choices, you can't really lose here. Good situation to be in....

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Turret Fix Question

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Turret Fix Question

    This may be a dumb question but I'll ask anyways. When removing the old thick grease from the turrets, use of a solvent is mentioned. What exactly would be a good product to use to remove the old grease before applying the new thin grease? Plain old alcohol swabs? Or something more specific and...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 2 or Minox ZP5

    I have no experience with the Minox but I do have the Razor GenII 4.5-27. Like Vargmat said, the click less zero and locking turrets are big pluses. The glass is fantastic but it's best feature for me is the EBR-2C MRAD reticle. When you also through in that fantastic warranty and the price...

    JP Questions Again

    I think I would check out how it works with quality factory ammo. Make sure your gas system is set up properly. Semi-autos are definitely a different animal than bolt guns but it can be done. It is very rare to see inaccurate and JP in the same sentence. Stick with it...I'm sure you will get better.

    6.5CM AR10-High pressure Bolt?

    I think it is very important. I was doing alot of research on a 6.5 Creed AR10 and it became obvious that this cartridge will react differently in a standard AR10 platform. What finally convinced me was a long talk I had with a tech from JP who patiently answered my questions and provided very...

    Rifle Scopes compact/lightweight optic for 308ar

    Out of the scopes you mentioned, I think I would go with the Vortex 6-24 AMG. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Vortex. If you are LEO/vet, their program for us is very generous. For what it's worth, I have the Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27 with EBR-2C reticle and I love it. It would not...

    Rifle Scopes Nf 7-35 atacr

    My biggest bitch with Nightforce is their reticles. I know I am spoiled by my Vortex EBR-2c mil-rad but NF should be able to upgrade the quality of their reticles. Especially for the prices they charge....

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Gen II for PRS. Any benefit in 3-18 vs 4.5-27?

    I was out shooting my Ruger Precision Rifle today in 6.5 Creedmoor. My scope is the Vortex 4.5-27 Razor HD Gen II with the EBR-2C mil-rad reticle. That is my favorite reticle......having an open center just seems to help my accuracy. And as far as the magnification goes, I have always subscribed...

    Rifle Scopes New scope idea's? 6.5 creedmoor

    Look at the Athlon Argos 8-34x56 FFP scope. They are a new company but I have been very impressed with their quality. And they have the same kind of warranty as Vortex. I paid $389 for mine on Amazon.....
